Welcome to my blog. I am a retired plastic surgeon in Seattle and was in private practice since 1991. I've seen more than a few interesting faces and cases through my years spent in the exam room, the operating room and the emergency room. And I have an opinion on just about everything relating to plastic surgery (and a lot of unrelated stuff). If you like my blog, let me know. Thanks for reading! Lisa
Seattle Plastic Surgeon discusses sun damage and skin protection – again. Inags because Icare. Summer officially starts in two weeks and it’s time for my yearly scold about facial tanning.

Seattle Plastic Surgeon nags about smoking. Yesterday evening I took my dog, Stella, for a nice long walk. I live just a stone’s throw from Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood.

This year was a 60’s theme and we all got to dress up like hippies. It was a blast. Every year someone inquires about me donating surgery to be auctioned off and IContinue reading…

Seattle Plastic Surgeon discusses the joys of a soggy climate. The front page of the Seattle Times today featured a great story on moss.

Seattle Plastic Surgeon Discusses Lifestyle Lift Okay, okay. I have had a jillion questions about the “Lifestyle Lift” in the past few weeks. All I can figure is that they are doing some sort of marketing blitz. I don’t watch T.V. so I am a little out of the loop. I am not one ofContinue reading…

Seattle Plastic Surgeon Notes the Passing of a Fitness Icon. Early this week I heard that Jack Lalanne died – at age 96. Just hearing his name takes me back to my childhood – my mother and me in front of our little black and white T.V. doing situps and deep knee bends to theContinue reading…
