Dr. Vivian Gonçalves Finds Aesthetics to Be a Promising Field in Biomedicine

Like many health professionals who worked in recent years, the biomedical professional we are talking about today also rethought her career after the pandemic and began to see aesthetics as a promising field in biomedicine. And not only in the financial sense, but in terms of a professional fulfillment that comes from the possibilities of practice itself and from finding more flexibility in her career.

The pandemic triggering a new outlook on her career

Dr. Vivian Gonçalves always had a special connection with the world of laboratories. From her first job, at 15, she found in clinical analysis a passion that stayed with her over the years. It was no accident that her professional path took shape in that environment, where she was able to learn and grow.

However, life holds surprises, and with the arrival of the pandemic, Dr. Vivian found herself facing deep reflections about her career and her purpose. The health crisis not only highlighted the importance of hospital work, but also made her rethink other areas that could complement her work in health care.

“When the pandemic came, we rethought a lot of things. The pandemic hurt a lot of people, especially those of us in hospitals, we suffered a lot, and it made me think about some things, like what else I could do.”

It was in this context that aesthetics emerged as a promising field in biomedicine. For Vivian, aesthetics is not limited to superficial matters; she sees in this field an extension of health care, a holistic treatment that goes beyond outward appearance. Aesthetics is about the patient's well-being, about rebuilding self-esteem and providing quality of life.

The desire to train in aesthetics did not come without challenges. Vivian recalls the financial obstacles she faced when considering a postgraduate program in this field. However, the pandemic served as a catalyst for her decisions. She realized that, just as she had built a solid career in clinical analysis, she could pursue new horizons in aesthetics.

Despite the difficulties, Vivian is determined to move forward. She recognizes the importance of training and constant improvement. For her, aesthetics is not just a career option, but an opportunity to make a difference in people's lives, especially those facing aesthetic challenges for medical reasons.

A promising field in biomedicine, far beyond the financial sense

Part of her plan also involves volunteer projects, such as cleft lip reconstruction, which sparked her interest. Vivian believes in the transformative power of aesthetics and is willing to dedicate her time and knowledge to help those who need it most.

In addition, Vivian highlights the importance of exchanging experiences and mutual support among professionals in the field. She observes with admiration the diversity of profiles moving into aesthetics, enriching the field with different perspectives and skills.

The decision to take a postgraduate program in aesthetics was not easy, but Vivian found a flexible solution that fit her routine. The ability to schedule her classes and hands-on sessions allowed her to balance her professional and personal commitments without giving up her education.

Throughout the learning process, Vivian discovered a new facet of her professional journey. She sees herself not only as a specialist in training, but as a facilitator of knowledge, sharing her experiences with colleagues who are taking their first steps in the field, while learning a great deal from the experience of those who are also willing to share.

And at the end of the day, that is what drives her: the desire to be in charge of her choices, to help others, and to find fulfillment in her career.
