In aesthetic plastic surgery, mentorship spans clinical learning, professional development, ethics, communication, and career guidance. Without clear goals, even well-intentioned mentoring can drift or lose impact. Mentorship is most effective when it has purpose. Setting goals helps mentors and mentees stay focused, motivated, and aligned throughout their collaboration.

This guide helps mentors and mentees define, track and refine meaningful goals that align with surgical training, professional development, and personal growth in aesthetic plastic surgery.
