Working Philosophy

This is a specialty that joins the latest scientific breakthroughs with feelings. "It's not only a matter of intelligence; for us, feelings and the search for beauty are a priority. In other areas of medical knowledge, it is enough with knowing, keeping yourself updated. To make a heart transplant or to extract a tumor you have to know the procedure. On the other hand, to practice an aesthetic surgery, you have to know - this is imperative - and to feel it.

These are two completely different mental activities: to know and to feel. Both are indispensable to transform a face, to help it get closer to the model of beauty.
It is an artistic criteria; good plastic surgeons are like great concert performers, they know the technique, but they perform according to the needs: to understand the best way of attaining the best for each face.
This is a model that leads us to perfection, that makes us aim at it as a goal.

Beauty is the human posibility of getting closer to the Divine proportion.

The search for beauty is the search for happiness. To know how to find beauty in every thing, to live searching for the Divine proportion that philosophers and artists spoke about.
Michelangelo stated that beauty is the language God uses to communicate with people. He also said that, from all of Nature's wonders, none was more exciting than a beautiful face. "A beautiful woman's face transports me to Heaven because nothing else can cause me such joy." Plato said that the goal of human life is the contemplation of beauty.
Beauty resides in the proportion, said Victor Hugo. Beauty is in the proportion, said Pitágoras.
