The Consultation Experience

When you arrive at Restore SD Plastic Surgery for your consultation, your Restore SD surgeon will perform a detailed examination as well as review your medical history and any medications you are taking. At your consultation, you will have photos taken with our Vectra 3D imaging system and discuss treatment areas and options while viewing your photos series. With our state of the art Canfield software, potential surgical results can be viewed and adjustments can be made, helping you to visualize possible outcomes. You don’t need to flip through old photo books of other patients, you can visualize your potential results and have access to the photo simulation at home.

The surgeons at Restore SD Plastic Surgery each have over a decade of experience with cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Gallus is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the California Society of Plastic Surgeons. In addition to being fully credentialed, we take the time to listen to your goals and partner with you to develop the best and safest surgical plan that will optimize your results and leave you looking and feeling your best.

At Restore SD Plastic Surgery we look forward to creating an enduring relationship that encompasses your surgical, non-invasive, and skin care needs.
