First of all, there are doctors in my family, so it was a given that after my brother I would followin my father's footsteps and become a surgeon too. Furthermore, I wanted to be a plastic surgeon because I have always been interested in fashion, beautiful looks and nice appearance. So quite unambiguously I chose the aesthetic side of surgery and visited private clinics during my university years.
I graduated in 1996 and after I went to the general surgery department of Ferenc Jahn Hospital where I did several abdominal and vascular operations. I took my specialist examination from general surgery in 2001. During these years I also worked at several private clinics as anassistant.
I started my plastic surgery studies first at the Burn and Plastic Surgery Department of István Hospital where I spent a year and participated in the conservative and operational treatment of burns and I did reconstruction and aesthetic plastic surgery. I went for another year's training to the Plastic Surgery Department of Erzsébet Hospital. I passed my plastic surgery specialist examination in 2004 and finally my dream - for which I had been waiting for 10 years - becametrue.
During my studies and after it I participated in several plastic surgery extension trainings and conferences abroad.
After my specialist examination I was admitted to the Plastic Surgery Department of Erzsébet Hospital and Kontour Clinic where I worked until the beginning of 2005.
Then I was invited to a private clinic in Buda where I have been working for the last 2 years.
During my career I had plenty of joyful and difficult moments but I am sure that if I could do it all over again, I would do everything exactly the same and become a plastic surgeon again. I adore my job, the challenges every day, the results achieved and the positive feedbacks.
I am grateful to my plastic surgeon colleagues for teaching me the crafts of the trade and I am able to add the technical procedures learnt abroad. All these helped me do my work in the most conscientious way possible.
