Hello, I’m Dr. Lawrence Koplin. I’m a board certified plastic surgeon practicing in the city of Beverly Hills, California. I want to tell you a little bit about why I love plastic surgery, why it’s fun for me, why it’s challenging, and why I enjoy going to work every day. I’ll begin by telling you that it’s a family affair, it’s a teamwork, and I’m lucky enough to have a wonderful office of personnel who really understand plastic surgery, who understand what it’s like to be a patient in a plastic surgery setting, and who are one hundred percent there from beginning to end to make it a wonderful and exciting journey. I’m double board certified actually. I did my training in general surgery, and then I went on to become fully board certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Plastic and reconstructive surgery means making people better than they are or trying to restore them to the way that they were before they became injured. That’s an interesting process and it’s a difficult one psychologically and it’s a scary process sometimes. So we know that, and we’re really committed to becoming part of the process, becoming part of your family, having you join us in the journey. I tell people that it’s going to be scary at the very beginning; it’s kind of like the first day of school or going to camp. I’m not going to know anyone, nobody’s going to like me, I won’t sleep very well, and I’m going to have a terrible time. But actually you find out it’s kind of fun; it’s kind of exciting, you join this wonderful group of people that you like and who like you. And then when it’s finished and we don’t really need to see you anymore, I tell people it’s kind of like you’re in the back of the bus that’s leaving camp, the counselors are getting smaller, the lake’s getting smaller, the trees are getting farther away, you’re kind of waving. But, we’re still there waving and watch you, and I hope that that experience will be part of the experience that you will enjoy if you come to see us. I hope that by having talked about this I might have made finding a plastic surgeon a little bit easier. It’s my pleasure meeting you. I’m Dr. Lawrence Koplin, and thanks for listening.
