Depois de muito buscar, tomei uma das decisões mais transformadoras da minha vida: operar com o doutor Bucheli. Sou paciente dele desde 2020 e, em todos esses anos, não tive sequer uma queixa — aliás, tenho sim uma: não tê-lo conhecido antes para já estar tão bonita! Minha vida realmente mudou após passar pelas mãos abençoadas dele. Um agradecimento enorme também a toda a equipe, em especial à Mariana, que sempre esteve presente no pós-operatório, tirando todas as minhas dúvidas com atenção e paciência. Em cinco anos de convivência com o doutor e sua equipe, só tenho elogios. Sempre me acompanharam e me acolheram, compreendendo a fundo cada uma das minhas necessidades. E ele tem razão: a beleza realmente traz felicidade!
