About me and my work.
philosophy
No matter the reason you have decided to have a consultation, whether it be for hand surgery or aesthetic procedures, my approach does not vary. I am aware of the trust that is placed in me when someone chooses me as their surgeon and will repay this by treating them with respect, honesty and professionalism.
I feel that good communication is one of the key factors to achieving an excellent result. This includes knowing what your expectations are and discussing how I can or cannot meet them. Only by using open communication will we both be happy with the end result. In order to meet your individual wishes, I will tailor the treatment plan to you, your body and your lifestyle. I am committed to supporting you throughout your treatment journey, from the first consultation, during the decision-making process, throughout your recovery, and beyond.
My goal is to achieve an aesthetic balance in your appearance without causing a distorted or unnatural look. It should be evident that you look better. It should not be evident that you have had plastic surgery.
