Department of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery
Specialized in: plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery About the Department of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery at ATOS Clinic Heidelberg
The Department of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery at the ATOS Clinic Heidelberg specializes in the full range of surgical procedures in its areas of expertise. The main clinical focus is reconstructive and aesthetic facial plastic surgery. The department brilliantly performs face and neck lifts, otoplasty, rhinoplasty, mentoplasty, and blepharoplasty, as well as reconstructive surgery to correct appearance defects following tumor removal surgery and treatment of burns and injuries. The department also offers a variety of non-surgical cosmetic procedures for facial skin rejuvenation, the most popular of which are treatment of facial and décolleté wrinkles with filler injections or lipofilling, PRP therapy (vampire lift), and microneedling (percutaneous collagen induction). Another important area of work for the plastic surgeons in the department is the removal of benign and malignant skin tumors. The specialists mostly perform resections of spinaliomas, basaliomas, melanomas, and suspicious moles that may potentially degenerate into a malignancy. The department's operating rooms are equipped with the latest technology, and hygiene and safety standards are strictly observed here. The plastic surgeons in the department always strive to achieve the best and most natural results. Before any surgery or cosmetic procedure, the doctors hold an individual consultation to discuss the patient's wishes and the possibilities of their implementation.
The Head Physician of the department is PD Dr. med. Andreas Dacho. The specialist has been ranked among the best plastic surgeons in Germany by the reputable Focus magazine for many years in a row. He is also a holder of the prestigious "Leading Medicine Guide" certificate. Dr. Andreas Dacho's primary specialization is aesthetic and reconstructive facial plastic surgery.
The department has earned a reputation as one of the best facial plastic surgery centers in the region. Any surgical procedure carries certain risks, and facial surgery is considered a highly complex procedure, as the slightest mistake by the surgeon can lead to irreversible consequences and appearance defects. Fortunately, the team of plastic surgeons in the department has excellent qualifications in the field of facial plastic surgery. Facelift is one of the most popular surgeries in the clinical practice of the department. As a result of the surgery, the patient gets rid of wrinkles, sagging and flabby skin, nasolabial folds, and other signs of aging. A circular facelift is the most common option. It provides the best aesthetic result. The department's surgeons prefer to use endoscopic techniques for facelifts. The surgery is performed through miniature incisions using long and thin instruments under imaging guidance. Such operations leave only small wounds that heal quickly, and even the surgeon who performed the operation will hardly be able to find postoperative scars after 3-4 months.
Another modern and effective method of facial skin rejuvenation is lipofilling. The essence of the procedure is the transplantation of the patient's own fat tissue from other parts of the body to the facial area to restore skin elasticity. Lipofilling can also be used to correct facial asymmetry (hemiatrophy) and congenital and acquired defects. Surgeons perform the procedure using minimally traumatic surgical techniques, which contributes to rapid wound healing in the postoperative period. The main advantage of this method is that, unlike fillers (Botox, hyaluronic acid, etc.), the fat tissue is completely compatible with the patient's own body tissues, which makes it possible to achieve the most natural result. In addition, there is usually no need for repeat surgery.
The team of plastic surgeons in the department specializes in rhinoplasty, an operation to correct the shape and size of the nose. In most cases, rhinoplasty is performed for aesthetic reasons, when the patient is unhappy with his or her appearance and wants to change the shape of the nose. However, rhinoplasty is also often clinically indicated when the patient has nasal breathing problems. Specialists perform both open and closed rhinoplasty: an open approach is indicated in cases of congenital malformations, hump on the bridge of the nose, asymmetry, wide bridge of the nose, large nostrils, secondary deformities after injuries and surgeries, and nasal breathing problems; a closed technique is used when the patient wants to correct the shape and size of the nose without medical indication, or a deviated nasal septum. In closed rhinoplasty, incisions are made inside the nose, and in open rhinoplasty, an incision is made on the skin of the columella (between the two nostrils).
