In a country where beauty pageants are well celebrated, it is not a surprise how the facial cosmetic market of the Philippines is projected by Statista, a German research firm, to be a multimillion-dollar market. It also signifies the exponential growth of the cosmetic and personal care industry, which includes facial plastic surgeries.
And in the 2020 to 2021 Medical Tourism Index, the Philippines is ranked number 24 out of 46 top medical tourism destinations globally, with cosmetic surgery as one of the top drivers. And with both government and private sectors being bullish on their tourism initiatives, the Medical Tourism sector is also up for a recovery.
With these opportunities in the pipeline, EPIC or ENT Professionals In Collaboration, a group of ENT doctors in Cebu is also investing in the facial plastics and beauty market, with two of its surgeons being board-certified fellows of Facial Plastics.
“Cebu is promising. It’s the usual go-to place for people from Visayas and Mindanao for any medical, surgical, and aesthetic procedures. And as a certified Facial Plastics fellow in ENT-Head Neck Surgery, we are pitching in our expertise to the aesthetic industry in Cebu to have safer and more adept facial surgical techniques,” says Dr. Pamela Masongsong, CEO and Surgeon of EPIC Aesthetics.
Aesthetics and Function
EPIC Aesthetics Surgeons are also ready to perform procedures such as Rhinoplasty, Blepharoplasty, and more under safe and latest techniques. They will also serve patients with reconstructive needs such as Cleft Rhinoplasty, Cleft lip & palate repair, Rib Rhinoplasty, and more.
“As board-certified ENT-HNS specialists subspecializing in Facial Plastics, we manage our patients beyond the aesthetics. We also prioritize functional capacity. We will not just do plastic surgeries, we will also be serving the reconstructive needs of many patients in the region,” says Dr. Carlito Dimaano Jr., EPIC Medical Director said.
Confidence over beauty
With countless cosmetic clinics offering a wide range of services, EPIC positions itself as a place of optimum clinical safety for everyday people.
