![]() Dr. Ces Colagrande Practice PhilosophyThere is nothing wrong with growing old or looking older. There is also no harm in looking and functioning at your best throughout our life. It is a matter of preference in how we choose to live our lives by enhancing our appearance through cosmetic surgery and anti-ageing. Having cosmetic surgery is surgery. It is important to consider all options before undertaking any procedure. Enhancing our appearance with cosmetic surgery may not be for everyone. Cosmetic surgery has come a long way through the years. Medical technology has advanced to accommodate with our requirements. Times have changed, we are evolving and moving forward with modern, fresh thoughts and ideas including, minimally invasive surgery and taking softer approaches to anti-ageing with hormone modulation. It is an exciting stage in the industry as we are striving to move forward in preventative medicine, taking pride in our appearance and health. The Art of Aesthetic SurgeryCosmetic surgery is truly an art form and the gift in is in mind's eye, the surgical ability to create that vision. The objective is to enhance and improve existing facial and body contours. Cosmetic surgery by definition must conserve beauty, a vision to produce a masterpiece. Dr Georgio Fischer (Rome), would refer to his surgery as "a living sculpture that does not draw attention to itself but draws attention to the person as a work of art". Studying and watching great masters at work has given great depth to my personal growth in cosmetic surgery. Appreciation for aesthetics, balance and harmony are important guides in obtaining beautiful, natural results. Doctor-Patient RelationshipMany patients consider having cosmetic surgery after pondering on the thought over a long period of time. Searching for a doctor who understands how you would like to look, someone you can trust and communicate with are important steps and possibly the hardest steps in your journey. You must be well informed about the details of the procedure, feel relaxed and have no second thoughts that this is for you. The doctor must explain the risks as well as the benefits and allay any fears. If you are uncertain about a procedure or have unanswered questions, request another consultation. I am more than happy to discuss and assist your understanding and expectations of how a procedure may or may not improve your appearance and wellbeing.
