• Every person is an individual - each consultation is unique.  You have made time in your schedule to consult about a procedure, your time is  valuable, and you want to know your doctor understands your goals and objectives.  You want to be an active participant in the decision making process about surgery.  You want to learn about your choices.
• What our patients most frequently thank us for is the consideration shown to them and the time our staff devote to listening and learning exactly what each person wants to achieve.You are an educated consumer.
• If you feel that your plastic surgeon should be one who is highly skilled, experienced and who will take the time to understand your needs as well as your objectives, you will find that Dr. Dowden meets those criteria.
• You have the reassurance of knowing that in Dr. Dowden you have a plastic surgeon with more than 20 years experience in cosmetic surgery and reconstructive plastic surgery.
• It is important to know that Dr Dowden is knowledgeable about, and utilizes, all the latest techniques in plastic surgery including ultrasonic liposuction, endoscopic forehead lifts, minimally invasive facelifts, endoscopic browlifts, midface lift, and all methods of breast augmentation.

(By the way both Allergan and Mentor honor their warranty after the transumbilical breast augmentation, both in front of the muscle and behind the muscle.)
