During their training, a plastic surgeon gains knowledge and experience across a very wide spectrum, from burn surgery to hand surgery, from microsurgery to the correction of congenital anomalies, and from tumor surgery to all cosmetic surgeries. However, it is not quite possible to master such a broad field all at once. For this reason, after their residency, plastic surgeons usually specialize further by focusing on a sub-field such as cosmetic surgery, reconstructive surgery, or microsurgery.

My choice was to focus on cosmetic surgery. However, I do not believe it is necessary to limit oneself to a single type of surgery within this field. A plastic surgeon who works systematically, with discipline, and on a sufficient number of cases can achieve a very high level of expertise in a cosmetic procedure with fewer than a thousand cases.

To date, I have performed nearly ten thousand cosmetic surgeries. The level of mastery I have achieved, not just through numbers but through careful planning, meticulous execution, and rigorously managed follow-up processes, has brought me to a professionally and conscientiously satisfying point. Of course, there is no end to learning and mastery. New techniques, different approaches, details that need to be reconsidered for each patient... All of these are exciting and valuable to me. Through discipline, diligence, perseverance, and a love for the work, it is possible to improve every day.
