Shelly:
Well summer is here and, yes, it's a different kind of summer. But it's still summer, and it's the perfect time to consider doing a little something for yourself. And joining us to tell us a little bit more as Dr. Michael Davis. He's a board certified plastic surgeon from STARS Plastic Surgery. It's good to see you. Thanks for joining us.
Dr. Michael Davis:
Good morning, Shelly. Good morning, San Antonio.
Shelly:
So I hear that I have to welcome you back to San Antonio. Tell me a little bit about yourself and your return to town.
Dr. Michael Davis:
So going back to the beginning, I grew up in Southern California and I'm sort of one of those California transplants. I've been in the military for about 26 years, though, so I just retired from the military and accumulated lot of experience in the full breadth of plastic and reconstructive surgery, working on wounded warriors, all the way through working a lot of aesthetic procedures.
Shelly:
So let's talk a little bit about some of the different procedures that you offer at STARS, and let's talk about body contouring and things like that. Because it is summer, and a lot of people have some free time on their hands right now. So is now a good time to consider maybe a breast augmentation?
Dr. Michael Davis:
Absolutely. Summer is always a great time, given the downtime that people have, and we offer the full spectrum of procedures. Body contouring really entails liposuction, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), and any procedure that really improves the shape and form of the body to give a more youthful look.
Shelly:
And, of course, we're seeing some before and after pictures and everything looks amazing. Of course, a lot of people might have questions about now being the right time, considering safety. Can you speak to that a little bit, about the safety of the procedures during this COVID time?
Dr. Michael Davis:
Absolutely. So we take all of the precautions that are prescribed by the American Medical Association, by the governor. We take that very seriously throughout the entire patient experience.
Shelly:
So people should feel very comfortable. Obviously doctors and doctors' office are some of the best places to be right now. Let's talk a little bit about some of the other things that you do. I know you do have quite a bit of experience. But I also know that you've pioneered several procedures for better outcomes, especially for brows and things like that.
Dr. Michael Davis:
So one of the things I love particularly is facial cosmetic, facial aesthetic surgery. And that entails brow lifts, blepharoplasties, facelifts, rhinoplasties. And with regard to a brow lift, that's raising the eyebrows, taking out the wrinkles in the forehead; it's kind of like permanent Botox, so it's really minimally invasive way to really rejuvenate the forehead.
Shelly:
I like the fact that you offer so many different procedures, so it's really an opportunity to take care of a lot of the things that you want to get done at one time. What's the best way for someone to get a little bit more information? A consultation?
Dr. Michael Davis:
So the best way is to go ahead and look at the website. And it has a lot of information about the procedures we do, befores and afters. You can actually ask questions on that and then schedule an appointment on that website; it's a full-service website.
Shelly:
