Self-image – the way you perceive yourself and your opinion about who and what you are; it is key to our personality and human behavior. Whoever changes their self-image, they will also transform their style and proceeding. But there is still more, our self-conception determines and sets the boundaries of individual achievement; many times it defines for the individual what they can and cannot do. It defines our zone of the “possible”.
In this sense, as a doctor and surgeon, I consider myself a resource through which my patients get access to bridge the gap between what they are feeling now and how they want to feel. My concept of beauty proposes to achieve the greatest possible harmony between the different parts of our body, between our face and our body, also between anatomy and psychology, between our body and our soul.
I manage my patients’ requests with professionalism and commitment and the way I see it, we will both embark on a path of change after the consultation. I bet on a result of excellence, not as an end in itself, but as a way for a comprehensive renovation. I conceive that the modification of the shapes is not limited to the surface of the skin, beauty also implies an inner requirement. From my perspective, the person who attends the medical consultation is mobilized by a discomfort that can no longer be sustained; they appear to be seeking guidance in the process of freeing from something pending with themselves. My satisfaction is based on being part of the changing process of any person who comes to me.
I get to know my patients through an initial consultation, their medical history and a physical examination focused on their goal of interest – I believe that something key in order to achieve this is generating the suitable environment so that they can feel safe while sharing their concerns. I recognize what they truly request and I try to build a solid doctor-patient relationship, with close communication. I am also part of a multidisciplinary medical team which optimizes the pre-surgical conditions for my patients.
From this basis, I can make an accurate indication in terms of diagnosis, techniques to be used, alternative procedures, preparation of a medical plan and a personalized surgical plan. I am certain that my patients can undergo these procedures, both cosmetic and / or reconstructive, and take them as a pleasant experience that encourages them to remain on the journey of reencountering who they are willing to be today.
