I specialise in breast augmentation, breast reduction, upper eyelid and lower eyelid surgery, the neck lift and liposuction.<\/p>\n<h2>That's why I chose cosmetic plastic surgery<\/h2>\n<p>Even during my medical training, I saw how cosmetic plastic surgery could make a big difference in patients' lives.
