Passion and Practice: Dr. Camila Valencia’s Path in Aesthetics and Life
In this insightful and thought-provoking episode, Dr. Raj is joined by his colleague and friend Dr. Camila Valencia, who practises alongside him every Wednesday and runs her own clinic as well. Together, they explore Dr. Camila’s journey into aesthetics, her passion for the field, and the challenges of balancing a medical career with family life.
Their discussion dives deep into the ethical considerations that define their work, contrasting the patient-centred approach of doctor-led clinics with the business-driven mindset often seen in franchise operations.
Dr. Raj and Dr. Camila reflect on the vital importance of regulation, emphasising the responsibility to prioritise patient well-being—even if that means recommending no treatment. They also candidly address body dysmorphic disorder, sharing insights on recognising its signs and discussing the essential training practitioners need to handle such sensitive cases with care and professionalism.
