Hard-Wired For Beauty – The Quintessa Story with Dr. Andrew Campbell, Double Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon
Dr. Andrew Campbell
We are hard-wired for Beauty and that’s just a fact. Whether it’s a tree or a flower, or it’s a human face, we know beauty and that isn’t something we have to be taught.
I used to draw constantly and I remember telling my mom I wanted to be an artist. My whole family are basically doctors and dentists. So I decided, okay, I’ll go and be a doctor but if I’m going to be a doctor, I want to use the art part of my life. And plastic surgery really fit that mold.
So why does Botox in your insert for crow’s feet?
What I do here at Quintessa is facial plastic surgery. I do mainly upper eyelids, lower eyelids, what are called mini lifts, which are a form of a facelift and neck lifts. So it’s all rejuvenation. Probably 90% plus, maybe 95% of what I do, I do in my office using local anesthetic.
Patients that come and seek our services, they do it because there’s something that they don’t jive with.
Once you’re about 25 years old, you get sense of self. You know what you look like without having to look in the mirror. Most of my patients take really good care of themselves. They exercise regularly, they eat right, they feel good, they feel young. The problem is you can’t exercise your face into fitness. Now their face doesn’t match who they think they are on the inside of their head. They see somebody they literally don’t recognize.

Most patients that I see, they just want to look the way that they think they look. [crosstalk 00:01:44] And so when I bring that up in a consultation and say, well, you just want to look the way that you think you look. They usually kind of get big eyes like that’s exactly it.
And I can have wonderful conversations with anybody that wants to argue that making somebody look better is silly or it isn’t worth it. And it’s very powerful for a lot of my patients. They have said you’ve given myself back to me.
