I was an Intensive Care doctor for 10 years (including through the pandemic). I knew I was helping many of my patients but I was always meeting them on the worst day of their lives. As I have gotten a little older, I have come to realize that life should not be about its worst days – that epiphany led me to explore new ways to use my experience in medicine to improve the lives of my patients. By refocusing my energy into aesthetics, I can use my expertise to improve how my patients look and therefore how they feel – letting them get more out of life every day.
