Dr. Arnold S. Angeles, Cosmetic Surgery - Quezon City, Philippines

Bio

Dr. Arnold Angeles finished his formal training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery that includes both a working knowledge from the basic sciences and subspecialty subjects. Knowing the principles of plastic surgery and performing a good surgical exercise are two different things. Honing both of them takes more than a couple of years and not months. Sometimes, it’s hard to learn and harder to materialize what was learned. But this is good because a good outcome is the result of hard training and experience. We do not, however, learn from one aspect of an experience, but we learn from different experiences, creating an onion of feats with the intertwining of skills in one bulb...this bulb is where you get your money's worth and the result you've always wanted.
