As you are researching cosmetic and plastic surgeons in Memphis, TN, we think you will find that Dr. Laurence and Germantown Aesthetics’ approach to cosmetic surgery may be the most effective and safest option for you.
Dr. Laurence is on a crusade to bring the safest and most effective technologies to his patients, and according to the Hippocratic tradition, he feels it is his responsibility and privilege to share these techniques with medical colleagues. Unlike the many plastic surgeons in Memphis, TN, Dr. Laurence focuses on cosmetic surgery, which improves normal body form as opposed to repairing a physical defect of structure or function. His interests include laser medicine, sclerotherapy and cosmetic surgical procedures.
Dr. Laurence believes, "It is not enough for us to train four years in medical school, three years in specialty training and one year in additional fellowship training. We all JUST BEGIN learning once we finish our formal education. The technology that is the most effective for our patients did not even exist when 95 percent of practicing medical doctors was in formal training, and the medical schools often could not afford to train us on the best equipment because of its expense."
