"We try and stay at the forefront of new technology in plastic surgery. In particular, we are looking at major breakthroughs in minimal to non-evasive procedures for skin tightening and fat removal. But it's also important to have a strong scientific background in order to find evidence for the techniques that work. It is a balance between finding out what is new and innovative but also what has the ability to deliver results and is not just about marketing."
