Testimonials
The wide spectrum of the training from Dr. Patrick L. Tonnard and Dr. Alexis Verpaele has helped me to learn the best in Aesthetic Surgery. The three months from January 2018 to April 2018 were special in terms of learning from the Masters in the speciality. I got exposed to the various aspects of regenerative medicine in my fellowship period. They were kind enough to share their wisdom, experience and knowledge with me. I learned the precise manner in which the operative procedures were performed every time the patient goes to theatre and the meticulous techniques they practiced.
