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. 

Among his various accolades, Dr. Bailey has been the recipient of the On-Time Doctor Award (2018, 2017, 2016, 2015), Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2018, 2017, 2016, 2015), Patients’ Choice Award (2018, 2017), Compassionate Doctor Award – 5 Year Honoree (2020), Harvard Health Professions Scholarship (1983), and was on the Dean’s List at the University of Iowa (1980-1983).

On a more personal note, he changed the nature of his practice and underwent extensive additional training in both cosmetic surgery and modern vein care in order to spend more time with his wife and 3 young children.
