Kona Plastic Surgeon

Dr. Larry Schlesinger, M.D., FACS

Plastic surgeons perform surgical procedures to sculpt the face and body. There are many reasons for wanting or needing plastic surgery, and often, more than one procedure is needed to attain the desired results. True plastic surgeons are medical doctors who have spent years of their lives learning about medicine, how to perform all forms of surgery, and then finished their training with learning the special techniques required in cosmetic surgery.
