Philosophy
The path to aesthetic surgery is never futile. It reflects the intimate conflict between a desired image and the image we see in the mirror or projected by those around us. This applies to the face as well as the body. Everyone perceives this discrepancy differently, with responses ranging from simple dissatisfaction to a profound sense of anxiety.
We cannot provide everyone with “absolute” beauty but we can return their own beauty to them, based on their potential and their goals. Although universal criteria of beauty exist, patients should not be forced into a standard mold.
The surgeon needs to listen in order to understand the patient’s wishes and give it form with the most modern technical knowledge available, regularly updated at professional conferences throughout the world. Today, communication is global.
«The professional doesn't have the right to be anything but an eternal student.»
Patients, in turn, need to be reasonable and discover their true desire rather than one imposed by the «tyranny» of society and the media.
Aesthetic surgery is the most fulfilling profession in the world when it is able to give a patient a modicum of happiness.
