Summary

  • As a female plastic surgeon in a highly specialized field, Dr Szpalski offers an empathetic and nuanced perspective that her patients deeply value. With a diverse range of experiences spanning from Africa to Europe, she introduces a rare multicultural depth to her practice, especially as an ethnic plastic surgeon. As a former model, her perceptions of beauty have been sculpted by an intimate, two-decade-long glimpse into the fashion world, offering invaluable insights to her patients. Her insatiable thirst for knowledge led her to groundbreaking skin-healing research at New York University (NYU), resulting in a PhD. This was complemented by rigorous training at the esteemed ULB Plastic Surgery Residency, the origin of the innovative vertical breast lift. Dr. Szpalski further refined her skills at the globally-renowned UT MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, diving deep into microsurgey’s nuances alongside the globe's leading plastic surgeons. Her expansive international training equips her with a distinct advantage: the recognition that every patient is unique.

    Rejecting a standardized approach, Dr. Szpalski ardently embraces a tailored methodology, aligning each procedure to a patient's unique aspirations and physique. Her guiding principle, "less is more," mirrored by her stint in fashion, allows her to harmoniously merge understatement with transformation, bestowing upon her patients a sense of timeless elegance.
