“Plastic surgery is really about self-esteem and self-image, not vanity," says Dr. Davies. "If there is one thing that is really bothering a person, and I have a procedure that can eliminate that problem, it's delightful to be able to change someone's life for them. I feel very honored when someone chooses me as their surgeon, and I work very hard to make them happy.”
