About Dr. Hobar:

A Personal Statement

I consider it a privilege to be a plastic surgeon. That's why I am one of the founders of the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute and the Dallas Day Surgery Center. At its essence, plastic surgery is a specialty designed to improve quality of life. It is very fulfilling to give my patients a new outlook on life. I am very careful to listen to my patients and make sure that I understand their expectations and use that information to determine who is a good candidate for plastic surgery. I strive to deliver the highest quality care and perform only the safest and most effective plastic surgery procedures.

I perform all cosmetic procedures in the Dallas Day Surgery Center. It is a fully accredited Day Surgery Center equipped with the most technically advanced equipment and safety features. It is important that I create the safest possible environment for my patients so I insist on using an anesthetist or an anesthesiologist during all of my procedures. As you will see throughout this site, I am involved with several professional organizations and educational institutions. I am continually exposed to the latest advancements in plastic surgery - both good and bad - and am very selective of the procedures I will perform. I must be convinced that a procedure is safe, effective and beneficial to my patient before I will perform it.

Choosing a plastic surgeon is an important decision. I encourage you to contact the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at l-800-635-0635 for a list of all the board certified plastic surgeons in your area before choosing someone to perform your procedure. This is the best way to know that a surgeon has completed the stringent training, requirements and testing necessary to be certified by this governing board. It is worth the time to improve the quality of your life.
