The demands of plastic surgery require a well trained board certified surgeon with technical know-how balanced with artistic sense. Picking a plastic surgeon is no easy task, especially in the San Francisco Bay Area with so many qualified surgeons. We hope this site introduces our practice and answers some of your questions. When you are ready, feel free to contact us to schedule an appointment.
Shih did my breast surgery. I was a little anxious at first but he carefully explained everything to me and my husband and patiently answered all of our questions. He was also very supportive after the surgery, frequently reaching out to my family and I to make sure I was recovering ok. I couldn't be more happy with the result. Things healed great, I like the size and shape, and there's good symmetry.
I tore my earlobe from an earring and was looking for a plastic surgeon to fix it so I could wear earrings again. Dr. Shih not only fixed the problem, but his personality helped me feel less worried.

Services
Picking a plastic surgeon involves multiple factors, including technical skill and knowledge.
Let me take this opportunity to introduce my qualifications which you'll see below.
But besides a plastic surgeon's skill and knowledge, your personal connection with the surgeon, comfort level, and trust are just as important.
I invite you to schedule an appointment to meet face-to-face.
A short meeting or conversation will often reveal in seconds what a resume cannot.
I will always give you my honest opinion and advice and place your interests as my patient first.

There are many qualified surgeons in the San Francisco Bay Area.
On a per capita basis, this area has one of the highest concentrations of plastic surgeons in the country.
With so many choices, picking a surgeon is hard.
Here are some general pointers we think make sense to consider.
Keep in mind this is only our opinion which we hope you find useful.
Also keep in mind there is no such thing as a "best" plastic surgeon.
Be wary of any physician who makes such a claim.
These claims make no sense, as what constitutes a good surgeon is multifactorial and nuanced and cannot be graded accurately with a linear parameter to allow such a ranking.

Neuromodulators (Botox) are indicated for common areas such as the forehead lines, glabellar lines (frown lines between the eybrows), and lateral canthal lines (crow's feet).
Hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm) can be used to fill in wrinkles and folds, and also to augment volume to facial features such as the lips.
One area of great confusion for patients is choosing what kind of medical provider to perform these injections.
These injections are not just given by plastic surgeons, but are also given by facial plastic surgeons (an otolaryngologist who has undergone facial plastic surgery fellowship), dermatologists, doctors of internal medicine, physician assistants (PA), and registered nurses (RN), just to name a few.
