Пластический хирург Патрик Малучци рассказал о своем режиме дня, биохакинге и использовании ИИ

A day in the life: Plastic surgeon Patrick Mallucci I set my alarm for 6.45am daily, open the curtains and assess the weather. If it’s nice I make an espresso and sit out on the balcony. It overlooks the river and I’ll slightly guiltily — I’m an evening exerciser — watch the joggers run by while gathering my thoughts for the day. I’m not much of a breakfast person. My trick is to have two good meals daily: lunch and dinner. I eat healthily and to keep in shape, avoiding snacks and ensuring a balance between healthy carbohydrates and protein. Sport and exercise are a large part of my life. I played sport to quite a high level in the past and still incorporate that into my life. I’m fortunate to have a gym on site where I live, so I do that regularly and have a personal trainer to push me a little further too. When it comes to recovery, I sauna and swim regularly. Using a Tens machine has been great for my shoulder and back injuries, and I use a muscle gun as well. The only wearable I use is an Apple watch. I’m not obsessive about data — it’s easy to worry too much. That’s my personal approach, but I do use it if I’m wanting to time myself for a particular challenge, or interested in looking at specific data. “I am often wheeled under the Dermalux by my staff to improve the bio-modulation of my skin” We have a hyperbaric oxygen chamber at our Mayfair clinic, so when I have pulled a muscle or tendon, I will get in there to speed up recovery. I think it is so undervalued. I love it! I always say we can never get enough oxygen to the tissues. There is no doubt that AI is increasingly part of our lives. I use it as part of my note-keeping and it’s made a huge difference in how I document consultations and produce treatment plans. My only desktop gadgets are my Meta AI glasses. I’ve had lenses put into them so that I can use them for reading on the computer. They link me to phone and Zoom calls and directly to AI if I need to ask questions or research anything. Luckily, I don’t suffer much from stress or mental fatigue. I love what I do, try my best to lead a healthy lifestyle, and play sport to keep me mentally and physically well. This carries into my work life at Mallucci, where we do our best to create a warm, welcoming environment where everybody helps everybody. When it comes to biohacking tricks we have a great device in the clinic called Dermalux, which is UV light therapy. I am often wheeled underneath this by my staff to improve the bio-modulation of my skin. I’m fortunate to travel the world lecturing and teaching, which means I’m also present to listen to colleagues across the world do the same, keeping me up to date with emerging trends and new technology. Books that have shaped how I think? One that I must have read 25 years ago or longer is The Basics of Aesthetic Breast Surgery, a German publication that set me on the road to aesthetic breast surgery, which is where I still am today. I exercise in the evening and find it relaxes me after work, as does cooking. With my Italian heritage, I like to think I’m pretty good at pasta — and I am passionate about making pizza. I like to cook for family and friends. Supplementation? My assistant bought me some magnesium once, claiming it was great for my sleep patterns, but I have never had trouble falling asleep. I have a great passion for life. I enjoy what I do and have never seen work and life as a work-life balance struggle. For me they blend seamlessly and I consider myself fortunate to feel this way. I love the people I work with, the patients I meet and my colleagues across the world.
