What is aesthetic medicine?<\/h3>\n

Why does it make sense to bring the two together? What does that mean for the patient? Why aesthetics don\u2019t have to be negative and vain. Why your health and wellness should be your daily priority.
\nWe all know the saying: too much of a good thing can inevitably turn bad. And the saying is true for aesthetics, as well.<\/p>\n

When you obsess over your physical appearance, it\u2019s often not even your body that you want to change; it\u2019s your mind. That critical link missing between mind and body\u2014the nagging voice that you can\u2019t ignore, no matter how hard you try\u2014can create a perfect storm for unnatural and even harmful consequences, both physically and mentally when aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery is introduced. It\u2019s a slippery slope that we\u2019ve seen lead to Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) or other cognitive-behavioral issues, not to mention harm caused to your body in the process.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret aesthetic medicine is a booming industry. So, how do we walk the delicate tight rope between improving quality of life (not to mention psychological wellbeing and social engagement) and body dysmorphia? It starts with your doctor.<\/p>\n

We all age, have nitpicky issues we\u2019d like to change ASAP, or maybe even larger parts that we\u2019ll forever fantasize about \u201cfixing.\u201d Like everything else, finding the sweet spot involves a holistic approach, looking at the big picture, and curating a regimen to balance out what is both natural and inevitable (we\u2019re looking at you, wrinkles and droops).\u200b W\u200b e will all age, we will all get creases and folds, but the knowledge and higher consciousness that we all ultimately pass onto a different life will, I hope, allow us to approach our daily vitality with compassion and focus on the real things that can help us feel and look better.<\/p>\n

After I completed my residency, I was set on finding the perfect area of medicine that would make me feel at home but still able to provide service to others. Unhappy with the conventional ways of approaching healthcare, I sought out to discover new-yet-ancient modalities and philosophies by completing my integrative medicine fellowship.<\/p>\n

The fellowship allowed me to see the medicine in a completely new light, one where I could focus on prevention while also working alongside my patients to shape their ideal pictures of health and wellness. At first, I wasn\u2019t clear on how to merge the two fields, integrative medicine and aesthetics. Each was both equally fascinating and rewarding. It wasn\u2019t until I learned that I could fuse the two that things really changed. I found the world of aesthetics under-represented and misguided in the established medical education: from medical school to formal educational training programs like \u200bresidency fellowship, the world of aesthetics is largely ignored by the medical community. But why? The short answer is that because something is elective or cosmetic, it is generally regarded as lesser. But as we learned before, the mind and body are one, and sometimes, when done correctly, fixing the part can heal the whole.<\/p>\n
