Why aesthetics
Before medicine, there was sport and art. I grew up competing in rugby, badminton and athletics. I studied art and still paint today.
Sport taught me discipline, patience and respect for how the body works and recovers. It's also why I trained in pre-hospital emergency care, with the aim of supporting high-level sports teams. Art taught me to look closely: at proportion, light and balance, and at how a small change can alter the whole. Medicine gave me the anatomy, the judgement and the steady hands I use every week in my minor surgery and joint injection clinics.
Aesthetic medicine is where all three meet. It lets me bring a doctor's training and an artist's eye to every face I treat, so the result looks rested, refreshed and still entirely like you.
