Enric Sospedra has come to be a well-known and acknowledged specialist in plastic, reconstructive and cosmetic surgery thanks to his parents’ efforts and his own determination, since he had no hesitation in going to work to pay for his university studies: “My parents say that when I was five I was already saying I wanted to be a doctor. I always aspired to work in a field where, apart from theoretical knowledge, other important factors were relationships with other people and the capacity to improve their quality of life.”
To train as a doctor, he chose the University of Barcelona. On graduating, he opted for the speciality of plastic, reconstructive and cosmetic surgery because “we carry out a large number of very different operations, which means that our everyday task, in contrast with other branches of surgery, is very varied. Only two operations of the fifty I learned during my time as a resident, which finished in 1990, are still performed using the same technique.”On completing his residence period, Dr. Sospedra did not consider complementing his training internationally, because he was aware that “going abroad would not have brought me any new knowledge. In the field of reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, our level of surgical praxis is equal to or higher than that of other countries in the First World.”
