global gravitas
Dr. Zoran Potparic’s global perspective comes from training across the United States, Europe and England. His extensive experience contributes to his firm belief that “high-quality results are predicated on an in-depth understanding of reconstructive plastic surgery.”
Author of over 35 papers and chapters published in peer-review journals and books, Dr. Potparic continues to build a formidable reputation and credits his respected facial rejuvenation skills to his experience in craniofacial surgery. A pioneer of restorative techniques used to correct birth and post-traumatic deformities, the board-certified plastic surgeon is the proud recipient of numerous fellowships. “During the course of my 27 years in practice, I have learned that aesthetic plastic and reconstructive surgery are chasing the same goal—symmetry and normalcy,” says Dr. Potparic, who uses proportion, balance and symmetry as his guiding surgical principles. “You cannot address aesthetics properly without a solid knowledge of anatomy.”

Dr. Potparic describes himself as conservative yet radical. “I always approach a patient first through the eyes of safety and security,” says the experienced surgeon. “If I do a procedure, it will be with full conviction and nothing less. My patients' objectives determine my approach and technique." A full range of facial rejuvenation, body contouring, breast enhancement and nonsurgical treatments are offered at Dr. Potparic’s private practice, where he refers to his tenured staff as “jewels,” based on their ceaseless devotion to extreme patient satisfaction. “Patients tell me all the time how well they have been treated, and that is so important with elective surgery,” says Dr. Potparic.

Inside Information
IMPLANTS FOR FACIAL AND BODY CONTOURING
Dr. Potparic uses implants to bring more symmetry and balance to the face and body. “Most frequently, we use silicone gel or saline implants for breast augmentation. Facial implants are also very popular in our practice,” says Dr. Potparic, touting their safety. “We perform implant procedures on an outpatient basis, either under local or general anesthesia. We have found the results to be long-lasting, with minimal risk of complications.” In addition to the cosmetic use of implants, they can also be used for reconstruction procedures. “We can use pectoral implants for contouring men’s chests that never developed sufficient muscle bulk. Likewise, those with ‘underdeveloped’ calves that are disproportional and small in comparison to their thighs—associated with either birth defects, childhood disease, trauma or surgery—may be candidates for implants.” Dr. Potparic follows these patients closely post-operatively and aids in the pre-surgical selection of proper size and shape to ensure a seamless experience. In terms of buttock enhancement, Dr. Potparic prefers a method known as fat grafting, removing fat from one area of the body and then injecting it into the buttocks.
