Rottman.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">These days a Google search and possible background check are par for the course before any blind date, job interview, or important business meeting. It seems reasonable that you might want to get to know someone a bit before going under the knife.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Sure I could rave about how amazing a surgeon, <a href=\"\/about\/meet-dr-rottman\/\">Steven J. Rottman<\/a>, is until I am blue in the face, but most people want to get to know the scalpel-wielding doctor behind the paper mask a bit before slipping into the paper gown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">So let\u2019s get real\u2026 Who is <a href=\"\/about\/meet-dr-rottman\/\">Steven J.

And, more importantly, perhaps, what does he eat for breakfast?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>EL<\/strong><br \/>\nSpeaking of breakfast? What do you eat for breakfast?<br \/>\n<strong>SR<\/strong><br \/>\nOn surgery mornings I like to have a protein smoothie of some kind. Low in sugar and high in protein, they provide me with the sustainable energy needed for long hours on my feet in the OR.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1519 size-medium\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/7-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"Plastic Surgery in Baltimore, MD\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>EL<\/strong><br \/>\nWhy <a href=\"\/about\/meet-dr-rottman\/\">Plastic Surgery<\/a>?<br \/>\n<strong>SR<\/strong><br \/>\nI am fascinated with the point at which science and art merge. I have always been drawn to aesthetic beauty and been fascinated by science and medicine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1518 size-medium\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/6-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Plastic Surgery in Baltimore, MD\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>EL<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen it comes to <a href=\"\/non-surgical\/dermal-fillers\/\">injectables<\/a>, what are your preferences?<br \/>\n<strong>SR<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/non-surgical\/dysport\/\">Dysport <\/a>and <a href=\"\/non-surgical\/dermal-fillers\/restylane\/\">Restylane <\/a>have become my go-to favorites.<br \/>\nOf all the Neuro-toxins, I like <a href=\"\/non-surgical\/dysport\/\">Dysport <\/a>the best. I have found it works quicker than <a href=\"\/non-surgical\/botox\/\">Botox<\/a>, lasts longer, and covers more surface area.<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/non-surgical\/dermal-fillers\/restylane-lyft\/\">Restylane <\/a>is my go-to filler. Available in a wide variety of thicknesses indicated for specific areas of the face, Restylane products allow me to target facial depressions with precision and accuracy. Their products consistently result in desirable outcomes with minimal downtime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1517 size-medium\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/5-300x238.jpg\" alt=\"Plastic Surgery in Baltimore, MD\" width=\"300\" height=\"238\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>EL<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat surgery do you find most satisfying?<br \/>\n<strong>SR<\/strong><br \/>\nAny surgery that is life-changing for a patient is the most satisfying for me. Depending on the patient and their specific circumstance, the power of a given surgical procedure can vary. While one patient may find <a href=\"\/body\/liposuction\/\">liposuction <\/a>alone to be life-changing, others may require more involved procedures to see life-changing results. Whether it is a <a href=\"\/breast\/breast-augmentation\/\">breast augmentation<\/a> for a young woman insecure about her small breasts, a <a href=\"\/body\/tummy-tuck\/\">tummy tuck<\/a> for a woman unhappy with her appearance post pregnancy or a massive <a href=\"\/body\/post-bariatric-surgery\/\">weight loss patient<\/a> struggling to cope with excess skin, I find job satisfaction in happy patients and hope that I can continue to help people live happier, healthier lives.<br \/>\nThat feels good when patients cry happy tears during follow-up appointments thanking me for changing their lives. Sure beauty is subjective, and <a href=\"\/about\/about-plastic-surgery\/\">plastic surgery<\/a> can certainly be taken too far. However, it can be life-changing in many instances, giving people physical and mental strength and happiness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>EL<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat do you like to do in your free time?<br \/>\n<strong>SR<\/strong><br \/>\nI spend most of my free time with my family, playing with my kids and coaching their sports teams.
