, in Santa Barbara, is one of the pre-eminent plastic surgery facilities in Southern California. At the Center, the focus is on quality aesthetic surgery. With this in mind, Dr. Robert W.

With the multitudes of information abundant on the Internet, as well as the television, we find that our sophisticated patient population is often very well informed. Dr. Sheffield and Dr. Lowenstein feel that this information should be augmented and clarified during the consultation process such that the most well considered decisions can be made. The patient's wishes and the patient's safety are the primary interests of everyone at our facility.
Both Dr. Lowenstein and Dr. Sheffield are committed to achieving a non-operated look in all of the procedures that they perform. Whether the patient's goals are a refreshed appearance to their face, or a major change in the contour of their breast or body, the emphasis should be on appearing as though the result is natural. Excessive manipulation can give rise to an overly operated outcome. Dr. Sheffield and Dr. Lowenstein embrace the subtleties and nuances of plastic surgical technique to achieve optimal results, concurrent with the patient's wishes.
