In this section, the effort that I have made and continue to make is presented, so that at every moment it is evident that plastic surgery is also a calling within the framework of medical ethics.
Plastic surgery is not about display and lifestyle, but a medical specialty that exerts its beneficial effects in the reconstruction not only of injuries, defects, burns, and other problems of the human body, but also in the restoration of the effects of aging.
Plastic surgery has been greatly “violated” both by certain specialists in the field who lack ethical standards, and even more so by non-specialists who, in the pursuit of easy profit, sacrifice for their temporary comfort both their dignity and the physical and mental health of the patients who are persuaded to trust them.
Plastic surgery is a philosophy. And if we understand its true purpose, then we can all be satisfied—both we, the plastic surgeons, and you, our valued patients, who by appreciating the worth of each of us keep us at a high standard and give us the opportunity to enjoy a comfortable life.
For this reason, I personally thank you from the bottom of my heart and promise that I will always strive to give my very best so that you may enjoy high-quality services.
And this should be your fundamental demand and our sole objective: medical services of the highest quality and nothing less.
