My visit to LA Plastic Surgeons by Dr. Philip Young of Seattle | Bellevue: I had a wonderful time during my visit with Dr Jason Diamond and Dr Davis Nguyen in Los Angeles In March of 2010. I was also originally going to see Dr Ellenbogen but choose instead the other two surgeons. During my visit I saw 2 rhinoplasties, a facelift, necklift, premaxillary implant, nasal reconstruction, browlift, fat injections, upper and lower blepharoplasties, and chin implant. Dr Nguyen is actually a good friend of mine so it was nice to see him in action once more. I always try to visit surgeons where ever I go to try to learn something new. You shouldn’t live life as if you were on an island. My feeling is that you can always learn something new from anybody no matter how smart or not as smart they are. I had a great time visting Dr Diamond and I really enjoyed getting to know him better as well. Everybody does things and procedures differently. With all the hours of experience that each person gains on their own is valuable experience that you can learn from others. This allows me to continually improve. I think visiting surgeons is a neccessity. It is likely more important than the various meetings that we go to as facial plastic surgeons. Continual medical education are recorded as hourly credits that you can earn when you go the meetings held by your specialty. For me my academy is called the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. I try to attend a meeting every year to continually learn.
Thanks for reading, Dr Young
