Quotable:
The degree of variation in the human form has always fascinated me. Cosmetic surgery requires not only surgical talent, but an aesthetic eye that appreciates that all patients are different and no two surgeries are the same.
Dr. Michael Robert Zenn is involved in research examining blow flow in
body tissue. The goal of his work is to develop new drugs that will promote
healing and improved blood supply. Along with this pharmaceutical research,
he is also part of the national FDA study accessing the safety of silicone
breast implants.
His specialized interests of cosmetic surgery include breast surgery,
head and neck surgery, and microsurgery.
He received the “Top Surgeon” and “Best Doctor” awards from Ladies Home
Journal and Redbook.
Dr. Zenn remains fascinated by the intricacies of plastic surgery; he
treats his work as an art form as much as a surgical discipline. He loves
the fact that his profession allows him to meet new people and make a
difference in their lives.
