How Dr. Walton goes beyond
“After over 25 years as a plastic surgeon, I still look forward to each day. The refinement and advances within the specialty certainly contribute to heightened satisfaction for both the patient and the surgeon. But some elements must and should remain unchanged, and by that I mean the doctor/patient relationship. It is still sacred to me. My devotion to my patients is evident in my always being accessible. I’m a healer at heart, and my patients know their welfare comes first. Plastic surgery is real surgery. It cannot be taken lightly. Nothing takes the place of a one-on-one consultation, not even the Internet. Connecting with a patient, getting to know their personality, and why they are considering changes is such an interesting part of my day. I love the meticulous preoperative planning and challenge of dealing with the minutest details that characterize facial rejuvenation, primary and revision nose surgeries, and breast enhancement."
