Dr. Hamilton was delighted to be one of “Fifty-nine plastic surgeons [that] took to Capitol Hill in December at a pivotal moment…” to advocate for timely and complete access to breast reconstructive surgery for breast cancer patients, access to reconstructive surgery for children born with conditions such as a cleft lip or palate, and other issues impacting plastic surgery patients across the country.

“In today’s digital age, social media platforms are a crucial avenue for plastic surgeons to connect with patients, share expertise, promote accurate information and grow our practices.”

“Managing careers and families has always been a delicate balancing act for women. They are often told they can have it all, but the reality of working in a demanding specialty and the demands of being a working parent is challenging. Women plastic surgeons, however, agree that while it can certainly be difficult – it’s not impossible.”

“People don’t need to be famous to be excellent plastic surgeons.”

“No drug has ever been as effective against obesity as the new weight loss injections. Slim without effort, that’s the promise.“

“People want to feel good in their skin at all ages, and that sentiment doesn’t suddenly change just because they pass a certain age milestone.”

“Some people think that Ozempic, specifically, does something to the face, but it would happen with any kind of substantial weight loss.”

“I think we’re going to be seeing more medically successful weight loss candidates going forward, probably even more than surgical, based on how successful these drugs are.”

“Patients taking these medications [Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro] need to be cautious about undergoing anesthesia before surgery…”

“Hamilton… takes pride in being an artist as well as a scientist”

“My vision is one of refined elegance, quiet personal attention, and artistic detail for my patients as I craft, create and achieve their aesthetic goals.”
