This dentist was dedicated to intraoral aesthetics, but wanted more for her career and for her patients: she wanted to help transform self-esteem and well-being even further. So she decided to expand her activities by working with extraoral procedures and is specializing in HOF.
Dr. Aline Bomfim says her interest in aesthetics beyond the intraoral region began after she started looking for procedures to address concerns with her own face.
The change these procedures brought to the dentist’s self-esteem was so significant that she saw the opportunity to transform other people in the same way.
Although she had a professional in her office who already performed these procedures, she wanted to do them herself, because, always in search of the best result, she says she would look at her patients and think “that could be improved, I want to do it, I want to change that person.”
Looking to put that thought into action, and on the recommendation of the friend and aesthetic specialist who treats her, she researched Nepuga and found information about Dr. Ana Carolina Pugaand how she advocates for aesthetic health practice by different classes of health professionals, and found inspiration in that.
She was already set on doing a postgraduate program in Orofacial and Surgical Harmonization when she became pregnant, but waited until her daughter turned 2 to actually begin the specialization, which she is currently taking.
Interviewed during the first days of the clinical immersion, dedicated to ozone therapy, she mentions that she is already gaining more confidence in handling extraoral injections:
“It’s not the big scary thing I thought it would be, it’s going much more smoothly. And these two classes, being about ozone and not yet fillers, and being in the areas where we will apply botox and fillers, are giving me more confidence for when the moment of the toxin actually comes. I’m really enjoying it a lot.”
A multifaceted professional, Dr. Aline says she really enjoys treating patients in pediatric dentistry, but works mainly in dental aesthetics, orthodontics and whitening. She even created a whitening protocol, Clareamento Gold (Gold Whitening), which is a success at her clinic.
The Expectations of Someone Specializing in HOF
She sees what she is learning in HOF as a complement to the treatments she already performs, a valuable complement, in Dr. Aline Bomfim’s words: “I think I’m going to transform people’s lives as well as my own”. By specializing in HOF, she is looking for more stability in her career so she can spend more time with her family.
This is because aesthetic procedures on the face are highly valued and provide, along with very rewarding results for the patient, a substantial financial return for the professional who performs them.
