Dr. Chartchai is sensitive to the
needs and desires in his patients. He has made
a lifelong commitment to the art and practice
of cosmetic surgery. Plastic surgery is his passion
and this becomes clear as patients consult with
him.
He fully understands the needs of
his patients because he understands and has observed
in his patients over many years how powerful quality
plastic surgery can be in enhancing one's life.
Many of us feel our bodies show
an age to the outside world that doesn't match
what we feel emotionally and spiritually. So when
our faces make us look sad or angry, our bodies
make us look lumpy, or our breasts hang to our
waists, this is no longer acceptable. We may consider
eyelid
surgery, a facelift,
an abdominoplasty,
or a breast
lift.
Our soul and our spirit may be youthful
and world-wise yet our appearance may say to others
we look worn, sad, used up, world-weary. We may
believe "60 is the new 40" and "50 is the new
30" and we may feel it, but we may not look it.
Today with increasing awareness
of the aging process, with more information available
to us, and with a growing desire to be our best,
Dr. Chartchai understands that diet, exercise
and cosmetic surgery all help to increase our
feelings of wellbeing and even feelings of self-worth.
And ultimately may lead to better health and a
longer and more satisfying life.
When Dr. Chartchai consults with
a patient, he considers each as a unique individual
with unique needs and expectations, and goals.
He understands that his patient's decision to
seek a surgical correction or procedure is not
made lightly, but with considerable thought. He
considers a patient's desires and needs as a whole,
and won't agree to extreme or inappropriate surgery
procedures that are out of balance and harmony
with a natural-looking outcome appropriate for
the individual patient.
As a devout Buddhist who incorporates
the fundamentals of Buddhism in his practice of
medicine, he is non judgmental and observant of
every patient's needs. He is conservative in his
surgical approach and doesn't jump onto unproven
"quick" procedures so popular among many plastic
surgeons in western countries.
He listens carefully to each patient
during a consultation so that together they reach
an agreement to undertake a surgical procedure
that fits the patient's requirements in a realistic
and medically appropriate way. He encourages patients
to work closely with him to achieve maximum outcomes.
