Dr. John Ward. Board Certified plastic surgeon for over 20 years, Phoenix, Arizona

As a plastic surgeon I am aware and reminded daily about the effect that celebrities have on my aesthetic practice . I totally agree that printed media and the Hollywood Stars greatly influence what clients consider desirable… leading to choices for cosmetic surgery.    The Hollywood aesthetic influence is gaining power and it is something that we all need to pay attention to as plastic surgeons.  Celebrity magazines also contribute to the limelight as well as reality shows.  In some ways, I find that celebrities can both help us and hurt us.   Celebrities that admit to their having plastic surgery have increased our consumer awareness and many admit to the fact that their aesthetic procedures have helped their careers.  On the other hand ,what I also hear is “Don’t make me look like that Celebrity” which means they want to maintain a more natural look.  In regards to facelift surgery it is my goal to have a restful and more natural looking facelift surgery.  I spend a great deal of time educating the client on the facts about the surgery and to  achieve  their expectations.   I want clients to look better, look rested but more importantly look like themselves.  Facelift surgery is a common procedure in my Phoenix practice.  I enjoy helping clients look as good as they feel and I have a portfolio of both male and female clients who have been willing and pleased to share their photos with me and then you.  Most importantly I believe in a very personal approach to cosmetic surgery and have many clients who have volunteered their time to talk to you by phone about their experience.  I am very proud of my office staff and we want you to have the best experience and recommend your friends and family to us.  For over 20 years my practice has been based on referrals from other Doctors and happy clients and I am proud of the relationships have I developed as well as the reputation of being a “perfectionist” surgeon.   I look forward to meeting you and explaining in detail my more natural approach to facelift surgery.  Please contact my office at 602-553-0888 for a complimentary consultation.  I often have out of town clients and Phoenix is a great city for you family to  enjoy while your  recovering from facelift surgery.  My staff can help you with hotel arrangements, travel expectations and places to stay.  We also have a full time recovery care center with a full time nursing staff located near several fabulous resorts in the Scottsdale area.
