“My work is really varied. I get to treat patients of all ages, from children to old people, and I have to master various aspects of plastic surgery comprehensively. I enjoy being able to work on things that require precision. I like minor procedures, because they allow me to work with great accuracy, and I can see the outcome of my work right away.”
Pia Heino’s job description at Ihosairaala includes the removal of moles, tumours, lipomas, skin alterations and skin cancer. She also performs plastic surgery operations and injection treatments with botulinum (i.e. botox; she doesn’t do filler treatments). These require great precision, which is something Pia is very good at.
“I have received feedback that I’m very conscientious and precise in my work. I’m also easy to approach and I enjoy working with patients. It is important for me that I can justify my decisions and reasons for treatment to the customers – once we agree on something with the customer, the treatment result is always excellent.”
Pia Heino, specialist in plastic surgery, feels that she is first and foremost her customers’ helper. “It makes me genuinely happy when I’ve completed some difficult surgery and the patient is happy with the result, getting the help they needed.”
