Dr. Schwartz has the distinction of being a clinical assistant professor of facial plastic surgery at the University of Southern California, where he now passes his knowledge along to its residents. He has also recently completed two years’ service as Chief of Surgery at Pasadena’s St. Luke’s Medical Center.

Dr. Schwartz’ Philosophy

Dr. Michael Schwartz’ overall philosophy as a cosmetic surgeon is to achieve natural looking results that address the patient’s goals while avoiding, as much as possible, any and all signs of surgery. There are many people walking around today with obvious surgical changes. In Dr. Schwartz’ opinion, these do not enhance a person’s natural attractiveness. He feels surgery is a success only when the goals of rejuvenation are met and it is nearly impossible to tell that the patient has undergone plastic surgery. To this end, his objective is to always achieve a natural, un-operated look that meets the patient’s desires.
