In Malcolm Gladwell’s bestselling book “Outliers: The Story of Success” has the following to say about expertise.Dr. Matlock has put in over 10,000 hours performing Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation® and Designer Laser Vaginoplasty® on over 7,000 patients in 15 years. Dr. Matlock has also put in well over 25,000 liposculpturing hours (including Brazilian Butt augmentation and VASER Hi Def Liposculpturing) over the past 23 years. In this time he has treated over 10,000 patients. Dr. Matlock is well known to the entertainment industry and he has treated numerous stars on both the big and small screen as well as world renowned music artist. He has also treated foreign presidents, their families, members of royal families and professional athletes.
“The idea that excellence at performing a complex task requires a critical minimum level of practice surfaces again and again in studies of expertise. In fact, researchers have settled on what they believe is the magic number for true expertise: ten thousand hours.
The emerging picture from such studies is that ten thousand hours of practice is required to achieve the level of mastery associated with being a world-class expert –in anything, writes the neurologist Daniel Levitin. In study after study of composer, basketball players, fiction writers, ice skaters, concert pianist, chess players, and what have you, this number comes up again and again. . . But no one has found a case in which true world class expertise was accomplished in less time. It seems that it takes the brain this long to assimilate all that it needs to know to achieve true mastery.”
“Ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness.”
