Jukka Pajarinen is a plastic surgeon who’s spent his career working with various aspects of general plastic surgery, from smaller procedures to treating critically ill patients. At the Skin Hospital, Jukka performs procedures such as skin lesion and soft tissue lump removals, upper blepharoplasties and breast reduction surgeries.
Jukka has a solid background in international medical research, and considers expertise and scientific fact to be the cornerstones of his work. Patients have been very impressed with his calm, straightforward and receptive approach. He also has a meticulous and precise side to him, which comes to the fore with surgical procedures.
“The beauty of plastic surgery is that there is rarely a standard solution you could use. The treatment approach is always tailored to the patient’s unique situation and their problems. For this reason, plastic surgery requires a certain kind of creativity and a good sense of aesthetics. Above all, you have to be a good listener. The field is ideal for people who are meticulous about things and have a perfectionist streak.”
Another thing Jukka finds pleasing about the field is how visual it is. Oftentimes, both the problem and the solution are immediately visible. For him, the best thing about practicing plastic surgery is that it makes it possible to genuinely help patients.
