So, can a surgeon who makes good sculptures or paintings show the same success in surgery? Of course, they can, but the main factor underlying this success is not the surgeon being an artist, but the years of training, experience and knowledge they have gained.
. A surgeon may state that the art they are interested in has a positive effect on their surgery.
However, another surgeon may say, ‘I sew very nice dresses, my tailoring helps me’ or ‘Being a photographer has helped me master the effects of light’.
Art is a talent, not everyone has it. Although surgery also requires talent, the most important weapon a surgeon has to be ‘good’ is ‘knowledge’.
No matter how talented a surgeon is, the effect of a sculpture they make on their surgery cannot go beyond personal satisfaction and advertising, even if they do not know which nerves will pass where, and have not internalized the advantages and disadvantages of various surgical techniques.
The claim that plastic surgeons are ‘artists’ does not reflect the truth, and is a wrong approach that belittles the talent and efforts of artists while creating unrealistic expectations in patients.
Plastic surgeons are members of society like every other professional group, and naturally there will be those who have talents in various branches of art among these professionals.
For example, the author of these lines practices the profession of plastic surgery, and at the same time plays various musical instruments and is interested in painting and literature.
However, all of these pursuits continue as amateur hobbies far from professionalism.
In fact, it is not possible for a plastic surgeon to continue his surgery and also practice another profession such as sculpting professionally.
It should not be forgotten that there is no art education during plastic surgery teachings.
It is as natural for a surgeon to engage in art as any other person to engage in art, and advertising this can be considered as a commercial promotion rather than increasing surgical success.
