Dr. Carlos Lasa Jr. Cosmetic Surgery Center

ABOUT US

Cosmetic or Aesthetic surgery is a highly sophisticated specialty that is dedicated not only to the return of the face and body to normal but to improvements that actually surpass the normal. There is an increasing number of individuals who undergo aesthetic surgery each year.

Several factors converging at the same time in history are responsible for this boom in aesthetic surgery. The public has been continuously bombarded by the communications media. The general medical profession has become better educated about aesthetic surgery and has accepted the fact that it is safe. There is a growing awareness that the role of modern medicine should not be limited only to the treatment of diseases but that it should alleviate human suffering in all its forms. Survival is no longer the only principal effort; improvement of the quality of life is also important.

It is impossible to measure human suffering. A flat nose may be unimportant to one individual; however, in another it can produce emotional discomfort. Aesthetic surgery can truly satisfy many needs and often will provide the extra measure of inner confidence, which may otherwise be difficult to achieve. It requires no apologies and is understandably well accepted in all circles. It is however not the answer to all of life’s problems. The purpose is to improve one’s appearance as much as may possible. It can do no more, and if one expects a transforming miracle, there will undoubtedly be disappointment.
