[Dr. Gupta speaking to the camera like an interview]
Being a physician actually was my childhood dream. From the very young age, I wanted to be a physician. In the beginning, I wanted to be allergy specialist actually, but then once I was in medical school,

it seemed like the surgical profession was more for me. And so I did general surgery residency and general surgery training, followed by plastic surgery training.
[Dr. Gupta speaking to the camera like an interview]
There was a very interesting case during my general surgery training. We had a patient whose face was disfigured by a severe dog bite. It was amazing how creatively the whole face was restored. That inspired a lot that told me what plastic surgery can do. It was I think at that moment that I decided to go into plastic surgery.
[Dr. Gupta operating on a patient]
I believe any surgical profession can be fun, specially plastic surgery. It takes technical finesse. There is sense of urgency. There is sense of importance in every move that you are making. I love that part.
[Dr. Gupta speaking to the camera like an interview]
Results are instantaneous. You don’t wait for months and months to see the results. You perform a surgical procedure and

within a few days you are able to see those results. You are able to see the changes that you have made in someone’s life.
[Photos of Dr. Gupta and his family]
It’s extremely important to me that I do my best. I provide a great result to every single patient.
[Dr. Gupta speaking to the camera like an interview]
One thing I do not like is when a doctor feels they know what they’re doing and that’s the way they will always do it.
[Dr. Gupta performing an in-office procedure]
Medicine is always a changing field and plastic surgery is no different.
[Photos of conferences]
Every year when I go to the conferences I learn something new. There are newer procedures. There are newer approaches to the same procedure.
[Dr. Gupta speaking to the camera like an interview]
I love learning new things. I do not want to settle down in knowing what I know. I always want to know more. I always want to learn more. I always want to provide more.

Q&A with Dr. Gupta
Mommy makeover. I love the transformation and the new outlook that patients have after. They are so excited after this procedure. You can see it when they come back for their follow ups. Many of them even change their entire wardrobe due to their newfound confidence.
Plastic surgery is a constant battle between beauty and blood supply.
Unfortunately, there are lots of suboptimal businesses out there. Medical providers should respect safety & perfection. Be sure to choose a double board-certified physician and someone who offers many surgical options, so you are not pushed into one particular mold.
It is a very excising and honorable business where you generally transform lives. Transformation and providing happiness to the patient should always be your first goal.
- I love the creative aspect and joy when the patient gets to experience.
- I love designing the absolute perfect procedure for them.
