Sipnosis Biografico

Despues de graduarce de la escuela de medicina con honores, el Dr. kattash completo su doctorado en cirugia general , manteniendo un alto nivel academico .Estudio en el prestigioso Colegio Royal de cirujanos Edinburgh en Escocia, Inglaterra en el cual tuvo un entrenamiento extensivo de tres anos en cirugia plastica y reconstructiva. En los Estados Unidos continuo sus estudios academicos en cirugia plastica y reconstructiva en la Universidad de medicina Baylor en Houston, Texas. Durante este periodo estuvo activo en studios academicos en cirugia plastica. El Dr. kattash continuo contribuyendo en la rama de cirugia plastica y fue reconocido con muchos premios academicos. Sus contribuciones de studios pueden ser vistos en varios libros scientificos.

El Dr. Kattash ofrece a sus pacientes nuevas e imnovadoras tecnicas en remodelaje de nariz,cirugia estetica facial como,pequeno levantamiento y volumen facial. A tomado un interes especial en cirugia de senos usando diferentes formas como aumentar,levantar y reducir senos. Durante los anos a modificado tecnicas de cirugia como esculturar el cuerpo con liposuccion, levantamiento de cuerpo y abdominoplastia.

Su entrenamiento ,estudios y tecnicas; combinado con veinte anos de experiencia como cirujano,puede ofrecer a sus pacientes el conocimiento,especialidad, experiencia y compasion que se merecen. El cree y mantiene una sensibilidad y entendimiento sobre sus necesidades esteticas y se compromete a ofrecer lo mejor para ayudar a todos sus pacientes en sus objectivos personales.
