Gullas recently.

Dr. James Joaquino, plastic and reconstructive surgery expert and Dr. Alain Senerpida, plastic surgeon, represented the surgery center.In an interview, Joaquino said the tie-up hopes to give better plastic surgery services to the Cebuanos who no longer have to go to Manila to avail of their services.Joaquino also said that with the growing need for plastic surgery here, “this branch of New Life hopes to address that demand at competitive price.”

There are a number of plastic surgery clinics already here, but he said not all of the surgeons are actually certified to do the job.“It’s very important for the patients to check the credentials,” he advised. The clinic with fully trained plastic surgeons is set to be launched “four to six weeks from now,” he added. “Patients are safe with us,” Joaquino guaranteed.New Life operates a 14-room center in Mandaluyong City where bust lifting, nose lifting, and eyebag removal are offered, among others. — Liv G.
