Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Susan Chobanian.
Hi Dr. Chobanian, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My journey to where I am today in the profession of plastic surgery is being the queen of rhinoplasty. This has been a combination of hard work, dedication, and a focus on excellence. While it hasn’t always been easy, I am proud of the reputation I have earned as the queen of rhinoplasty and specifically renowned for my expertise in revision rhinoplasty.
Building my reputation and becoming recognized globally required a significant investment of time and effort. I began by honing my skills and knowledge in rhinoplasty, constantly seeking opportunities to learn and refine my techniques. Through continuous education, attending conferences, and staying updated with the latest advancements in the field, I ensured that I was equipped with the most advanced and effective approaches for rhinoplasty, particularly in complex revision cases.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The intricacies of plastic surgery make it one of the most complex and challenging medical specialties. Surgeons and professionals in this field often face various struggles and obstacles.
Plastic surgery demands an exceptional level of technical precision due to the delicate nature of the procedures involved. Surgeons must navigate intricate anatomy and work with precision to achieve desired outcomes.
The field of plastic surgery is constantly evolving with new techniques and technologies. Staying updated and adapting to these advancements requires continuous learning and professional development.
Plastic surgeons must navigate complex ethical considerations, particularly when dealing with cosmetic procedures. Balancing patient desires with ethical standards and promoting overall well-being can be a struggle.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I place great importance on privacy and the best results for my clients because I understand the struggles they have to go through.
Privacy is a fundamental value for me because I recognize that clients often entrust me with sensitive and personal information. I understand the significance of maintaining confidentiality and ensuring that my clients feel safe and comfortable sharing their concerns and challenges. By prioritizing privacy, I create a trusting and secure environment where clients can openly discuss their issues without fear of judgment or disclosure.
In addition to privacy, I am committed to delivering the best results. I am aware that my clients seek my expertise to overcome difficulties and improve their well-being. By striving for the best outcomes, I demonstrate my dedication to helping my clients achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. I employ my knowledge, skills, and experience to provide effective guidance, support, and treatment options tailored to each individual’s needs.
Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
To excel in finding a mentor and effective networking, begin by defining your goals and intentions. Engage with industry events and online platforms while also considering joining professional associations to expand your connections. Leverage existing contacts to facilitate introductions and approach potential mentors with a respectful demeanor. Offer value to your network by sharing insights and assisting others. Participate in workshops and webinars to enhance your skills and knowledge, and don’t hesitate to request informational interviews for valuable insights. Stay connected by following up and expressing gratitude while always remaining genuine and authentic in your interactions. Patience and persistence are key, as building a robust network takes time and dedication.
