I think beauty is connected to simplicity. Being humble <strong>and</strong> simple is so important. If the person is physically beautiful, but not humble, what is the point? If you can’t talk to this person, what’s the point? Beauty is connected to a person’s personality, character <strong>and</strong> attitudes. Beauty is like a flower - you want to look at it, not touch it. However, sometimes the flower needs to be positioned to get sunlight <strong>and</strong> be watered. 11 What advice would you give to someone who is thinking about getting surgery? After you are sure about the doctor, the patient must think very carefully about why they want this surgery. Is this for the pleasure of someone else or for themselves? If the patient is not in a good mental space, it is not time for a procedure. Because sometimes, changing the face or body is not what’s needed. If the patient is not stable mentally, how will the person deal with the changes after surgery? The patient must know why they want to have surgery. They should consult with family <strong>and</strong> friends before reaching a final decision. 12 What is your general message about beauty, health <strong>and</strong> well-being? I believe it is very important for a person to take care in all aspects of life. Beauty reflects what’s inside, who you are <strong>and</strong> how you live. You can look great if you look after your face. But facial beauty will not last very long. The lasting beauty is in taking care of your spiritual, physical <strong>and</strong> mental sides. If you can connect these, then that’s beauty. But of course, plastic surgery can help in two of these areas, the physical <strong>and</strong> mental. But spirituality is something only the patient can look after. The real beauty comes from an equilibrium between these three pillars. So my general message is to eat good food, have adequate water, make time for yourself, enjoy being with loved ones, have time for your faith <strong>and</strong> of course, time with us (laugh). 13 Where can readers get more information about you <strong>and</strong> the services you offer?
