Dr. Levi John Lansangan

The world of beauty is a female-dominated industry. Although widely regarded as a profession for women, there are a few brilliant men who dare to challenge the norm. One of them is Doctor Levi John Lansangan, medical director of DrShimmian Aesthetics Center.

Dr. Levi started his medical journey as an ears, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. On his fourth year of residency, he would perform surgeries on patients who suffer from facial trauma or carcinoma of the face and neck. These surgical procedures are bound to leave lasting marks on patients, disfiguration even.

Due to these visible scars, patients are at the risk of developing depression. Being exposed to this situation on a regular basis sparked the desire in Dr. Levi to do something more than just performing surgeries on these patients. He was inspired to restore the confidence of his patients by improving their appearance.

This vision was furthered when he travelled to South Korea to attend an ENT congress. Life sure has a funny way of pushing you toward your destined path. It became clear for Dr. Levi when at the venue of the ENT congress, a medical aesthetics conference happened to be simultaneously taking place. Dr. Levi cheerily recollected, instead of going towards his original travel agenda, he waltzed right into the latter.
