My extensive surgical training includes both my MBBS and MS degrees. I've had a strong interest in surgery since my early medical school days. My professional experience includes plastic, reconstructive, and post-trauma surgeries. Over time, I became interested in cosmetic and aesthetic surgery, with a focus on restoring a healthy, pleasing appearance rather than just beautification. Aging often causes harsh and unwelcoming facial expressions, making people appear disturbed or ill. My goal is to restore a warm, cheerful, and welcoming appearance, thereby improving overall well-being.

My goal when starting 9Muses Wellness Clinic was to treat the inner turmoil that shows up on the outside. Our clinic provides a comprehensive approach, integrating internal and mental health support with cosmetic procedures. Whether the condition is caused by genetics, the environment, or emotional stress, we go deeply into understanding the underlying causes of each patient's condition and offer complete solutions. Our services include consultations, aesthetic procedures which brings overall wellness.

The clinic's philosophy is based on the idea that aesthetic care is not only for celebrities but for everyone. It advocates a balanced approach to self-care, emphasizing that occasional treatments in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle can significantly improve one's well-being. By incorporating various wellness practices, we hope to reduce health problems and improve patients' overall quality of life. At 9Muses, we believe that balanced and mindful self-care is essential for living a healthy, fulfilling life.

What are the various responsibilities you shoulder as the Founder & CMD of 9Muses Wellness Clinic? How do you ensure that patients’ expectations are met?

As the Founder and CEO of 9Muses Wellness Clinic, I prioritize patient care to ensure their holistic and aesthetic well-being. I also manage staff development, with a focus on training, team cohesion, and encouraging a healthy lifestyle. Driving growth entails improving patient care quality, innovating treatment approaches, and fostering a positive environment for both patients and staff. I emphasize the importance of a healthy lifestyle for the staff because I believe it reflects the clinic's mission. Meeting patients' expectations entails providing personalized care, understanding their needs, and consistently delivering high-quality outcomes.

In your opinion what are some of the most critical challenges you encounter in your current role? What steps do you undertake to overcome these roadblocks?

One of the biggest challenges in aesthetic treatment is raising awareness about the holistic approach and alleviating the fear of needles. Many patients are unaware of the benefits of this method. To address this, we educate patients about the benefits, processes, and outcomes of treatments, helping them make informed choices. We leverage social media and engage with media outlets to spread our message and foster understanding of non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments. This strategy helps patients appreciate the value of a holistic approach, enhancing their overall well-being.

What has your success mantra been over the years? Throw light on the most critical professional milestone you have achieved throughout your professional journey.

My motto for success is to be truthful in my work, maintain my integrity, and lead by example. Optimizing performance requires striking a balance between internal and external work, and my never-ending curiosity about learning new things keeps me inspired. In my career, opening my own clinic was the most significant turning point. After working as a visiting consultant at Apollo and Medanta, I wanted a place where cutting-edge skincare and efficient treatments could coexist. I focus on providing natural-looking results with powerful tools like Botox and fillers, which must be used with caution to achieve subtle, beautiful enhancements. My approach blends scientific precision with artistic application to ensure that patients look their best. My patients appreciate this, and they frequently tell me how much they admire my perception of their beauty. This confidence and satisfaction fuels my enthusiasm for this field.
