What did you want to be when you were little? An actor? A model? An astronaut? Unfortunately, very few of us manage to make our childhood dreams come true. And for the few that do, they are ones we should be applauding for their unending passion, determination and courage!
Dr. Nina Bal is one such woman who worked hard to make sure that she lived her childhood dream. She always loved medicine and dreamt of becoming a doctor since she was a little girl.She was also very passionate about beauty, aesthetics, and fashion. Talking about her childhood, Dr. Bal says, “I always loved looking after myself! So one day I thought to myself, why not combine my two biggest passions? And that’s how I went on to study hard to become a cosmetic dental surgeon and facial aesthetic doctor.”
Hailing from a small town in Italy, Dr. Nina Bal never thought that she would go on to win several awards in her career. She has won the 2017 Finalist Dentistry Awards ‘Best Young Dentist’, 2018 Aesthetic Dentistry Awards ‘Facial Aesthetics – Full facev treatment’, and the 2019 Finalist Aesthetic Dentistry Awards ‘Facial Aesthetics – Dermal Fillers peri-oral’. She was also the official cosmetic dentist in the series 2 of Bodyfixers on E4. And she is the Key Opinion leader for Philips and Alumier MD!

Talking about Facial Sculpting as an art, Dr. Bal says, “Facial sculpting is a concept instead of a procedure. I combine my two biggest passions – beauty and medicine – to offer people a complete cosmetic solution. I feel that you have to look at the face and teeth together when trying to offer the best aesthetic treatment; you can’t just do one and ignore the other.”
