    LA JOLLA, CA, August 29, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Richard Chaffoo of La Jolla Plastic Surgery has been nominated for the San Diego Union-Tribune's exclusive Best of 2009 in the category of cosmetic surgery practices. This is the first year that Dr. Chaffoo (http://www.drchaffoo.com), a triple-board certified plastic surgeon highly recognized for his achievements in San Diego area cosmetic surgery, has been nominated for this award.

"I'm very honored that the community has nominated my practice for this award," says Dr. Chaffoo. "It really reflects all the hard work and commitment my staff and I have to satisfying patients. Approaching each person with respect as well as skill is very important to me, and I think this nomination speaks to our success at accomplishing that goal."

The readers of the San Diego Union-Tribune vote based upon a variety of factors that contribute to exceptional cosmetic surgery care. The experience and skill level of a surgeon, quality of treatment, and the range of San Diego plastic surgery options available all factor into respondents' choices.

"A high-quality plastic surgery practice sets itself apart by offering the best possible options and results tailored to the individual patient," Dr. Chaffoo explains. "At my practice, it's very important to me to stay up on the latest advances, but also to take the time to connect with my patients and understand their goals personally."

Dr. Chaffoo, who specializes in facial, breast, and body contouring plastic surgery, is popular with San Diego area patients for his commitment to high standards of care in both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. As a plastic surgeon who board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, The American Board of Otolaryngology (Head and Neck Surgery) and The American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgery, Dr. Chaffoo has advanced experience in both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, although his practice focuses mainly on cosmetic procedures such as breast augmentation and face lifts. He has over 20 years of experience in facial plastic surgery alone, much of which he has served in private practice in the San Diego area.

"I am always striving to implement the newest and most effective techniques, and for me it's very exciting to see how new advances in San Diego cosmetic surgery are allowing my patients to enjoy better results than ever before," comments Dr. Chaffoo. "New techniques mean less scarring and smoother procedures, and I sincerely appreciate the feedback of so many of my patients who took the opportunity to share how happy they are with their results. I'm glad to see so many of my patients enjoying the benefits of these procedures, and I look forward to helping new patients who want to enhance their look as well."
