The Artistry of a Plastic Surgeon: How Playing Violin Inspires my Surgical Approach - Jae Kim, MD

“You’re not just a surgeon, you are an artist” - I'm thrilled to share a personal reflection with you. As a plastic surgeon, my days are often filled with intricate procedures and delicate decisions. But there's something beyond the operating room that fuels my passion and creativity: my love for the violin.

In a way, playing the violin is similar to performing surgery. Both require precision, patience, and a deep connection to the art. Yet, what truly touches me is when others recognize me not just as a surgeon, but as an artist.

It warms my heart when I hear that sentiment because, in truth, I do see surgery as a form of art. Each patient is like a canvas, and with every procedure, I strive to bring out their unique beauty in the most natural and harmonious way possible.

There's a profound joy in knowing that I've not only enhanced someone's physical appearance but also their confidence and sense of self. It's these moments that remind me why I do what I do.
