Perhaps, the most fulfilling
matter that one can do not only as an individual but more so as a professional
would be to live for others and do something worthwhile with one’s skills. One
of those people is plastic surgeon Dr. Laurence Loh who found his calling to
help out children with facial deformities by supporting Operation Smile—an
international non-profit organization that aims to heal children’s smile by
providing safe, effective reconstructive surgery for children born with facial
deformities.
Dr. Laurence Loh made a name for
himself as a successful and trusted surgeon in the fields of aesthetic and
plastic surgery. A medical professional with a heart of gold, he’s putting his
skills into good use as he helps put back the smile and confidence in the lives
of children afflicted with cleft palate, cleft lip and other facial
deformities.
The Operation Smile
beneficiaries will be truly in good hands as Loh is one of the few accredited
plastic surgeons here in the Philippines and is currently a member of the
prestigious Philippine Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic
Surgeons, Inc. (PAPRAS), a national association of plastic surgeons, where he
is currently serving as national secretary. A graduate of UP College of
Medicine with a fellowship in craniofacial and microvascular surgery at Eastern
Virginia Medical School-Norfolk, he has operated in more than 200 cleft lip and
palate missions both locally and internationally.

His wealth of experience
includes being chief of Plastic Surgery section of Jose Reyes Medical Center as
well as being assistant chief of the Plastic Surgery department of the highly
regarded medical institution of St. Luke’s Medical Center. He was also a
training officer in plastic surgery at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital and a board
examiner at Philippine Board of Plastic Surgery. His international affiliations
include memberships in the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons
and Oriental Society of Plastic Surgeons.
As an expert in the field, he
has conducted various lectures in plastic and reconstructive surgery in both
local and international conferences. Highly esteemed by his colleagues, Dr. Loh
remains a doctor with a heart for volunteerism.
Dr. Loh donates his time and effort as he performs surgeries on children
in medical missions conducted by Operation Smile.
“Life is just more meaningful
when God-given abilities and the skills you’ve developed are put into good use.
I have a particular sense of advocacy for the kids of Operation Smile because
it only takes over 20 minutes to perform a surgery that would change their
lives. I intend to give back,” Dr. Loh shares.
Dr. Loh is currently shuttling
between his advocacy, medical duties and private practice at his newly-opened
Lips Institute of Plastic Surgery (LIPS) clinic in Quezon City.
