Dr. Chaffoo's Philosophy

What Is Perfection...

It's been said that plastic surgery isn't about perfection. The reality? It absolutely is. With that said, it's not about my idea of perfection or a universal ideal of what's aesthetically pleasing, but rather it's about what's personally pleasing to you. At least, that's my philosophy.

... You Tell Me.

My philosophy is also to work hard at exceeding your expectations by consistently placing your needs and desires at the forefront, and then by focusing on results. I recognize that most patients have gone many years considering plastic surgery in the San Diego area; so, I know that when you finally elect La Jolla breast reduction, liposuction, breast augmentation, face lift, or rhinoplasty, there's a lot of time, energy and emotion invested in that decision. I'm also aware that you have a choice of plastic surgeons, especially here in San Diego; so, I consider it my privilege to work with you.

Satisfy you. That's my goal and the foundation of my philosophy, because you're not just a patient - you're my patient, and the incredible faith that you've entrusted to me is returned in my promise to always be committed to innovative procedures that are safe and that deliver results, and to offer unbiased advice based on three decades of service - first to my country as a Naval medical officer and finally to the men and women of San Diego, as a plastic surgeon.
