Some stories shape the way we care for people forever. 🤍

For Dr Yezen Sheena, plastic surgery was never just about procedures — it was about helping people through some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

In this video, Dr Yez shares the personal experience that led him into plastic and reconstructive surgery, and why breast cancer care and reconstruction became so close to his heart after seeing his mother suffer from breast cancer.

His approach is grounded in compassion, patient care, and helping people feel supported throughout their journey.

Every patient journey is unique. All surgical procedures carry risks and require an individual consultation to determine suitability. General information only.
