The idea of beauty is intrinsically related to the hobbies and stimuli that nourish us; that is how the renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Juan Manuel Chaparro, the talent behind some of the most beautiful faces in beauty contests, driven and fueled by his love for Art and its beauty, transforms into living masterpieces each of his patients in a space in which inspiration, aesthetics, talent, good taste and trust come together to ensure each patient the best transformation experience.
With the same devoted passion an artist creates a sculpture from a pile of clay or invents worlds from a line, Dr. Chaparro creates beauty in his patients, a beauty beyond trends arises artfully from harmony and symmetry to create timeless beauty.
Daring to undergo an aesthetic surgical process is a significant decision and a journey of trust, discovery, and transformation where every step counts.
Respecting the vision and inspiration of the surgeon and being in the perfect space must be fundamental factors in undertaking this adventure. That is why Dr. Juan Manuel Chaparro, with the support of his wife, Rebeca Silva, created the Bloomberg gallery in the same place where the surgeon’s evaluation office stands.
Where does your concept of beauty come from?
If I have terrible tastes, that would show in my patients. I have an eye for art beauty that enters through my eyes, comes out through my hands, and shines in my patients; some could say that I create living masterpieces. My patients are my art.
How did the idea of creating a space like Bloomberger come about?
Serendipity. I had imposing white walls, and I started meeting people who told me, I’m moving, would you save these paintings for me? I accepted, and suddenly, I thought, what if I post one? More arrived until we had an individual exhibition. It was all by accident. I had no idea how to set up a gallery, but gradually, I met people who like art, and today we are on our fifth exhibition.
What do you find in common between art and plastic surgery?
They both get to a happy place. Standing in front of a masterpiece makes you feel things; the same thing happens when seeing some of my patients. They both make you feel good and want them in your life. Like you want a piece of art in your home, you also want to share moments with a living masterpiece. They both take you to a happy place and a special moment.
What is that happy place for you?
There are several moments. Create radical changes in the operating room. Shaping with your hands and forming something visual. Integrating the beauty of the works of other artists and bringing the soul and energy they deliver in each work into the inspiration to create is moving. That is what makes Art transcend. Words change over time, but art prevails. That’s why people go to Paris to see the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower.
How do you reconcile your concept of beauty with that of your patients?
I start with just one question: Why do you want to undergo surgery; there are answers like I want to be a model, an influencer, for my husband. Next, I take the environment into account. I do not make nose molds or manufacturing. I ask, what do you want to reflect? Energy? Sensuality? I shape all of this, put together a concept in my head, and execute it.
Has it happened that this concept is not the same as your patients?
Of course could happen is that they could ask me for something like Doctor, I want gigantic buttocks or something like that, I wouldn’t do it. Because their concept of beauty clashes with mine. I create faces of universal beauty. That’s what I do. I think about art all the time. I love music. I play instruments. I also like mathematics, languages , and discovering everything. I am naturally curious.
With all these concerns, who is Dr. Juan Manuel Chaparro?
I’m everything I can think of. I discovered that there are no limits. A range of colors that has no attachments. I have learned to say yes to life. That taught me that the brain explodes when you open to possibilities and transform yourself.
Knowing this, what would be your legacy?
Altruism. I have supported many causes, including helping 350 cats through a foundation, orphanages, and more. Helping others is something that we can bequeath to the future. I swear I will succeed in bringing autism to textbooks. It is essential to make people aware of it and its effects. Sometimes, people see a child crying and think it is a tantrum, and there are many adults there are today with undiagnosed autism.
Another cause that I would consider part of my legacy is having achieved that, regardless of age, a child can advance in academic grade according to his abilities through the TeleGenio foundation.
Finally, there’s Art and spreading the word that it is an investment that does not depreciate.
What is the transformation experience like for your patients?
I want them to feel in a different atmosphere through spaces, light, smells, and art pieces. My patients are not in a cold space where I issue a prescription and let them go. This space is meant for them to open up to me so I can help them. Kind of like with a lawyer. If a client only tells them 10% of the truth, he can only help them with that percentage. If you tell me 100% of the truth, I can help you and give you that 100%.
We have a space to talk privately and learn about their desires, intentions, and motivations. Next, they go to an area where my assistants help the patient prepare to stand in front of found mirrors and perform positions that help to understand and evaluate the desired procedures.
Finally, after the surgery performed in the operating room, the issue of removing sutures and other processes. For that stands another room designed to provide the most lavish comfort and an environment that avoids a traumatic experience.
This space and the trust we develop generate patients to confess and reveal hidden or repressed desires about the procedures they want to transform into who they want to be. During each surgery, I give my heart and end up exhausted because I gave everything; I don’t do manufacturing or clog up my schedule. Every minute with my patient will impact the rest of their life, and I never want to lose awareness of this.
What do you hope for the future?
Continue boosting the gallery in the Middle East and keep creating exhibitions with virtuoso artists like Musalán. Bring exhibitions to Cannes, the Czech Republic, and other countries. Promoting Art is to value people, the artists, their hope, and the soul they give in each work.
Dr. Juan Manuel Chaparro in words
ART – Beauty
SCIENCE – Structure
BEAUTY – Light
HARMONY – Love
FUTURE – Sigh
