Nobody likes hearing “no” from their cosmetic surgeon, but sometimes it’s the best thing for them. In fact, a little tough love can lead to better results in the long run.

Alabama cosmetic surgeon Dr. James Koehler knows that saying no isn’t always easy, but it’s an important part of responsible patient care. He explains why he sometimes turns down requests for cosmetic procedures, whether it’s due to health concerns, smoking, unrealistic expectations, or outside pressures.

At the end of the day, good surgeons think beyond the here and now. Dr. Koehler is all about long-term patient safety and well-being, even if that means passing up a procedure (and a paycheck!).

Alabama the Beautiful is the cosmetic surgery podcast co-hosted by Dr. James Koehler, a surgeon with over 2 decades of expertise in cosmetic surgery and his trusty co-host Kirstin, your best friend, confidante, and the snarky yet loveable “swiss army knife” of Eastern Shore Cosmetic Surgery.
