Clinical Approach

I assess every patient before surgery with a detailed examination and a conversation about their expectations; where anatomical suitability and a patient’s expectation do not align, I prefer to discuss alternatives rather than operate. I bring my academic experience in reconstructive surgery and chronic wound care into aesthetic procedures as well, treating tissue healing and possible complications as part of the plan. I regard post-operative follow-up as an inseparable part of the process and monitor recovery together with my patient.
