Why Select Dr. Ristow?

Dr. Brunno Ristow has always been at the forefront of aesthetic surgery of the face and body. He has been operating in San Francisco for thirty-nine years. He has written several chapters in professional surgery textbooks, has given over thirty presentations to the annual meeting of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, and has lectured extensively to medical schools and regional and international societies for aesthetic surgery.

Dr. Ristow's emphasis has always been on producing natural and elegant results, recreating classic contours and avoiding flashy, artificial outcomes. In patients looking to recapture the beauty of their youth, he concentrates on pure rejuvenation. In those wishing for a change, he creates beauty and harmony in close consultation with the patient. His patients have expressed their appreciation for his experience, sensitivity, and artistic sensibilities, which are reflected in all his results.

"It is fortunate for a person to be in love with what he does," explains Dr. Ristow. "We excel at those things about which we are most passionate. When I think of aesthetic surgery, I am reminded of Aristotle's aphorism, We are what we practice. Therefore, excellence is not an act, but a habit."

While Dr. Ristow is renowned for his surgery of the face, the procedures he offers include rhinoplasties and breast contouring-- all at competitive prices.
