If a little is good, is more necessarily better?
This is a question that commonly comes up in my consultations.
After 16 years in aesthetic medicine, I've learned that the answer is often no.
More Botox doesn't automatically mean a better result.
More filler doesn't automatically mean a more youthful face.
More treatments don't automatically mean better skin.
The face is not a blank canvas.
It already has its own proportions, expressions, character and identity.
My job isn't to erase those things and create a “perfect” face.
My job is to understand what is changing with time, what can genuinely be improved, and—just as importantly—what should be left alone.
Sometimes, the best treatment is the treatment we decide not to do.
That's why I don't believe in a “more is better” approach to aesthetic medicine.
Good aesthetic medicine is not about how much we can do.
It's about knowing how much is enough.

如果少少已經有效，係咪做多啲就一定會更好？
呢個問題，其實喺我嘅診症入面經常都會出現。
做咗16年醫學美容，我慢慢體會到，答案好多時候係：未必。
Botox 打多啲，唔代表效果一定更好。
Fillers 打多啲，唔代表塊面一定會更加年輕。
做多啲療程，亦唔代表皮膚一定會更好。
我一直覺得，一張面唔係一幅白紙。
每個人本身都有自己嘅比例、表情、輪廓、個性同特色。
我嘅工作，唔係將呢啲全部抹走，再重新創造一張所謂「完美」嘅面。
我更希望了解一個人隨住年齡出現咗什麼變化，什麼地方真正可以改善；而同樣重要嘅係——有啲地方其實應該保留。
有時候，最好嘅治療，可能就係我哋最後決定唔做嘅治療。
所以我唔相信醫學美容係「做得越多越好」。
真正好嘅醫學美容，唔係睇我哋可以做幾多，
而係知道幾多先係足夠。
「足夠」同「過度」之間，有時只係一線之差。
美，唔係一條數學公式，亦唔係一定要追求所謂嘅「黃金比例」。
比例可以作為參考，但真正重要嘅，係醫生對整體面部比例、輪廓、表情同個人特色嘅判斷。
醫美可以改善，但千萬唔好太急進。
有時候，留白，先係最自然嘅美。
