What does plastic surgery have to do with High Performance? That's simple. One word. Confidence. Surgery isn't for everyone. But for the "right" candidate with sincere motivations it can be a game changer. But to get INCREDIBLE results you need an INCREDIBLE Surgeon. Enter Dr Allen Gabriel. He was named Best Surgeon of 2025 by Newsweek Magazine. He is a driving force at the front of innovation and patient care in plastic surgery at AG Aesthetic Center in Washington. I myself have been skeptical of surgery in the past. Have you? Is it cheating? Is it vanity? Can we believe what we see on social media? But most surprising of all is the story of how Dr Gabriel landed in the US and this industry. Plus he shares the latest non-surgical treatments he's using to help patients feel confident in their own skin. If you or someone you love is considering surgery you’ll want to hear this conversation.
