Met Wellington, Florida Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Wisnicki

Jeffrey L. Wisnicki, M.D., F.A.C.S. is a Board-Certified diplomat of the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. An active member of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, he received his training in surgery and plastic surgery at Stanford University in California with fellowship work at Dartmouth University. The author of numerous medical articles and book chapters, he graduated at the top of his class with honors and research distinction. Dr. Wisnicki has been interviewed on local and national news programs.

Dr. Wisnicki has been recognized three years in succession by Who's Who in American Health Care and Medicine and Who's Who in America. Readers of Palm Beach Illustrated selected him as Best Plastic Surgeon. He has also been selected for inclusion in the nonprofit consumer research book, Guide to Top Doctors, which lists those specialists other doctors would consider most desirable for care of a loved one.

Dr. Wisnicki's practice is limited to plastic and reconstructive surgery including cosmetic surgery of the face, breasts, and body.

Dr. Wisnicki has served in numerous hospital positions including Chief of Staff of Palms West Hospital, Chief of Plastic Surgery at Good Samaritan and St. Mary's Hospitals, Chief of Plastic Surgery at JFK Hospital, Chairman of the Department of Surgery of Palms West Hospital and Chairman of the Board of Palms West Hospital.

He has been in practice in the Palm Beaches since 1986. Dr. Wisnicki is also involved with an organization - Interplast - performing charity surgery at home and abroad for underprivileged children.

Many people consider having plastic surgery to eliminate unwanted bulges, lift areas where gravity and time have taken their toll, or enhance natural physical appeal. But according to Dr. Jeffrey L. Wisnicki, not only can cosmetic surgery improve your look, it may also improve your outlook.

"Hopefully it's going to improve lives by enhancing self- confidence," he says. "With the bulk of my patients, the transformation I see isn't just a physical one. I think it helps people tremendously in how they feel about themselves, and often that reflects on how they project toward others."

The confidence can translate to patients' personal and professional lives, which is one reason cosmetic surgery has become popular among men as well as women. Wisnicki says liposuction, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), facelifts and breast augmentations are among his most common procedures.

In sculpting the body, Wisnicki uses the tumescent approach and ultrasonic liposuction to remove unwanted pounds. Abdominoplasty, or tummy tucks, prove effective for women who recently have given birth and have a hard time getting off extra weight, because it removes fat and excess skin while tightening the muscles underneath. Breast enhancement can include either enlargement, reduction or uplifting, depending on the individual.

The traditional facelift has given way to variations, allowing doctors to tighten tissue underneath while providing longer lasting results and better refinement of the jaw and neck lines. "One of my key goals, regardless of the procedure, is to give the most natural appearance possible. It's a greatly enhanced appearance, but I don't want people asking them where they had their plastic surgery," he says. "If there's any specialty that truly evokes the notion of the art and science of medicine, I think it's plastic surgery."

Patients have the option of either getting the surgery at the ultra-private licensed surgery center right next door to his office where he uses a board-certified anesthesiologist, or at the hospital.

Colleagues named Wisnicki as a physician they would want treating themselves or their families in the book Best Physicians in the U.S. and he has been included in both Marquis Who's Who in American Medicine and Healthcare and Marquis Who's Who in America two years in a row.

Recognized for three consecutive years by Who's Who in American Health Care and Medicine and Who's Who in America, Dr. Wisnicki has been selected for inclusion in the nonprofit consumer research book, Guide to Top Doctors, which lists "doctors' doctors" - those physicians in whose hands other doctors would place the care of their loved ones. One of the reasons: the plastic surgeon's impeccable credentials and abilities.

A board-certified Diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, Dr. Wisnicki is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. He received his surgery and plastic surgery training at Stanford University and did his fellowship at Dartmouth University.

"Plastic surgery is certainly an art form, but it is the science of medicine which makes it safe and practical," explains Dr. Wisnicki, who has been a physician for 20 years, practicing in South Florida over the last 14 years. "I offer my patients the training and experience that they should seek when entrusting themselves to a plastic surgeon. My practice offers a very individualized approach to plastic surgery, recognizing that the advanced procedures and techniques we use today must be tailored to each patient's needs."

That may be facial rejuvenation, necklifts or eyelid lifts to address sagging skin and muscle. Or it may be laser skin resurfacing, peels, microdermabrasion and collagen injections to help reduce wrinkles and to freshen skin. For women, it may mean contour-enhancing breast surgery - be it with saline implants, uplifting or reduction procedures - to give the patient a brand new sense of self.

Each step of the way, Dr. Wisnicki places a premium on education, a particularly critical aspect of patient care when it comes to a potentially frightening - yet exciting - procedure such as elective cosmetic surgery.

"It is our philosophy that a well-informed patient is the best approach to allaying fears and uncertainty," he explains. "Patients are encouraged to explore all questions and concerns with me and with my staff and they are invited to come in as often as they wish before and after their procedures."

"We wish to put our patients at ease," he adds, "so that they may enjoy the pleasing outcomes that cosmetic surgery may provide."
