Dr. Kulick is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with more than 20 years of experience. He understands that a healthy level of self-esteem is one of several factors which contribute to an emotionally satisfying life. Having pride in one's physical appearance can affect this level of self-esteem. Dr. Kulick and his staff take the necessary time to help his patients express their concerns and understand their treatment options. Individuals may have cosmetic physical problems that cause great personal concern. There may even be a disparity between their own self-image - how they see themselves, and their body image - how other people see them. A problem that is very troublesome to a person, may seem insignificant to a friend or loved one. When such a disparity in an individual's image exists, it can often weaken that person's self-esteem, and lead to associated frustration, anxiety or depression. Corrective measures to bridge this gap between self-image and body image can take several forms, both surgical and non-surgical. Because cosmetic surgery is not a self-image panacea, Dr. Kulick conducts a preliminary consultation to assess an individual's need and motivation for surgery. Numerous physical conditions can be significantly improved by cosmetic surgery. Even a relatively minor procedure can ease the anxiety associated with a physical condition. Once the patient and Dr. Kulick have a clear understanding of the desired change, the procedure can then be planned. Through cosmetic treatments or surgery, Dr. Kulick has helped many patients overcome their physical concerns from birth defects, deformities caused by injury, problems attributed to genetic structure, and the effects of aging. In such cases, cosmetic surgery provided a heightened level of self-esteem and an enhanced quality of life.
