Approach.
I’m naturally considerate and collaborative, and I enjoy getting to know people. Above all else, I’m always honest with my recommendations and I prioritise your wellbeing.
My approach to ageing is that it is a normal process, not a disease. Ageing adds character, and I find this attractive. Not everyone feels comfortable with the ageing process, and that’s ok. My personal preference is for patients to look good for their age. Cosmetic surgery should enhance, restore and balance. When taken to extremes, the results can be disfiguring and jarring.
