Named a Top Plastic Surgeon in 205, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, and 2011

Throughout the past 25 years, Scott M. Aaronson, M.D., F.A.C.S., has earned a reputation as one of the most skilled, educated, and gifted doctors in the region. For seven consecutive years, he has been named one of the area’s top plastic surgeons by New Yorkbased Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., an independent firm commissioned by Palm Springs Life.

For Dr. Aaronson, being named best in his field is a significant distinction in an area noteworthy for some of the country’s most esteemed plastic surgeons. Dr. Aaronson graduated magna cum laude from the University of Miami. He served his general surgery residency at the University of California Irvine and plastic surgery residency at St. Joseph Hospital in Houston. He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, and the American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery.

In 1998, Dr. Aaronson built the Aaronson Plastic Surgery Center, a 6,000-square-foot outpatient clinic designed by renowned architect Nick Patel. Here, Dr. Aaronson performs face lifts, eye lifts, brow lifts, tummy tucks, breast procedures, laser resurfacing, and liposuction, using the most advanced technologies available.

The center offers less invasive treatments such as Botox, Dysport, and Restylane injections; microdermabrasion; and intense light treatments (IPL) to remove unwanted hair, broken blood vessels, and brown spots on the face and body. A variety of topical skin care treatments to rejuvenate skin texture are also available.

Palm Springs Life has published many interviews with Dr. Aaronson’s patients during the time he’s practiced in the desert area. In this interview, Lisa Owens shares her experience of having a tummy tuck procedure to remove excess skin and tissue following a Caesarian section and substantial weight loss.

WHY DID YOU SEEK DR. AARONSON FOR A TUMMY TUCK?
I always disliked my tummy area, and I’d say to myself, “That should not be there.” I camouflaged with looser clothing, though I always wanted to wear form-fitting styles. I was extremely self-conscious about it.

ARE YOU PLEASED WITH YOUR RESULTS? HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR BODY NOW?
Yes, I’m very pleased. I feel like a whole new person. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. It’s the best decision I could have made for myself. If you could see the before and after pictures, you’d be blown away! I have my teenage stomach back.

WHAT HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHANGES DID YOU MAKE BEFORE AND AFTER SURGERY?
Dr. Aaronson suggested that I lose some weight. I modified my eating habits and my way of relating to food. No longer do I consider going to fast-food restaurants, which was always an easy solution. Since making these changes, my husband has lost 30 pounds too! We’ve become chicken, vegetable, salad and fruit eaters. Now that I’m fully recovered, I plan to begin working with a personal trainer!

CAN YOU DESCRIBE YOUR RECOVERY PERIOD? HOW LONG BEFORE YOU WERE BACK TO YOUR REGULAR ACTIVITIES?
I wasn’t used to everyone helping me out! However, I was just about fully recovered within two months.

WHAT’S THE FEEDBACK BEEN FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY?
It’s been 100 percent positive. I receive regular compliments such as, “You look great!” or “You’ve lost a lot of weight!” I’m never shy about telling people of the excellent results I achieved with Dr. Aaronson.

SO, YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH DR. AARONSON AND HIS STAFF WAS A GOOD ONE?
It was awesome! I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Aaronson. I keep saying, “I’m not done yet! I’ll be a new woman at 50.”
