What makes your specialties the right fields of medicine for you?

I had no desire other then to become a surgeon, when the decision was made regarding attending medical school.
Can you tell us in your own words what you consider a perfect outcome of a surgical procedure?
Since, perfection is in the eyes of the beholder, if the patient's perceptual perfection is attained this in my mind is perfection.
What is your favorite procedure to perform and why?
All procedures involving Tumescent Anesthesia Liposuction. Primarily due to the safety involved not having to use general anesthesia, the result of using micro cannulas, and a little or no discomfort to the patient during and following the procedure. There is the highly appreciated immediate result by the patient.
What procedure would you like to do more of and why?
As previously stated, any elective procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia (Tumescent Anesthesia), thus, assuring this safety and well-being of the patient.
In a perfect world, when would you like to retire, where would you go and what would you do?
I do not feel that I would ever like to return completely, only limiting factor being the health, as I truly appreciate and enjoy being given the opportunity to perform the procedures I do for my patient.
