About

I’m Paul Adenuga, MD and this is my blog, designed to be your go-to aesthetic surgery resource.

Patient education is perhaps one of the most rewarding but often omitted part of the healthcare encounter, and nowhere is quality information even more nebulous and imprecise than in the world of aesthetic medicine and surgery. Perhaps this is by design, or maybe the idea that aesthetic surgery isn’t “medically indicated” – that it doesn’t fix a specific malady as recognized by insurance providers and the medical establishment – lends to this unfortunate landscape.

By way of background, I have been an integral part of hundreds of aesthetic surgery patient encounters and every single one has left me with a feeling of incompletion and inadequate time to fully address all the patient’s concerns and questions, no matter how trivial. Aesthetic surgical encounters particularly NEED this because unlike various urgent or emergent encounters for medical attention where the goal and steps to arrive at it are often very clear by all, aesthetic surgery outcomes can be very subjective from patient to patient and it is imperative for both patient and provider to be on the exact same page as possible for the best outcome.

Over these various encounters and from multiple patient interactions following, I ruminated the value of having a well-written guide that addressed every step of the patient experience, optimized the patient experience and addressed multiple points of confusion and potential dissatisfaction for the patient. This is how this site was born, focusing on the common procedures from experience and published data, with a thriving blog that aims to round out the full educational experience, right at your fingertips!
