Like all businesses, I get many accolades for services provided as well as a lesser number of complaints about services or results. That is the nature of plastic surgery where everything we do is visible. All results can be easily judged and criticized.
But I got a very kind note from a parent about a conversation that I had with her son while he was in the office. I was seeing him for long-term follow-up from repair of facial scars sustained as a child. He happened to ask me about my feelings on marijuana as a medical professional. I interpreted this as a serious question from a young man who was obviously trying to sort the issue out in his own mind. As I expressed my views (which were not negative from a medical viewpoint), I left him to ponder this question. Will partaking of marijuana take you closer to…or further from… your objectives and goals in life? That is the real question of any habit. You do become the end product of what you do, think, and whom you associate with. I hope it gives him one perspective from which twi view his quandary.
