“Over the last 20 years, I’ve been very fortunate to have a thriving and growing plastic surgery practice doing work that I am passionate about and taking care of amazing patients! A busy practice however meant a lot of stress and not a lot of time to take care of myself or to dedicate to other things. Especially after I turned 50, I realized that I had to achieve a better life balance! That’s when, with the help of my wife, I really started to incorporate into my life all the elements of “High Performance Living”. Now, I feel better than I did in my 30’s! I have more time and more energy to focus on those things that I am passionate about” expressed Dr. Polynice. 

In addition to being a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), he is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories – reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. A plastic surgeon’s primary responsibility is performing surgical and non-surgical procedures, and they use a variety of reparative and reconstructive techniques to get the job done. 

Fluent in 4 languages, Dr. Polynice is a licensed private pilot, an avid crossfitter, and practices the art of Korean Sword Fighting, Headong Gumdo. His favorite place to vacation is in St. Barts.
