About the Department of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery at ATOS Clinic Munich

The Department of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery at the ATOS Clinic Munich offers a full range of surgical procedures in its areas of specialization. The department's team of surgeons successfully performs plastic surgery of the face and body. Key attention is paid to breast augmentation, reduction, and lift, abdominoplasty, liposuction, arm and thigh lifts, facelift, rhinoplasty, otoplasty, and blepharoplasty. The therapeutic offer also includes a wide range of non-surgical rejuvenation procedures with a special emphasis on wrinkle correction with injections of autologous fat, fillers, and Botox. Plastic surgery is performed by highly qualified surgeons with extensive clinical experience. The department's operating rooms are equipped with the latest technology. Minimally traumatic techniques are used in the surgical procedures, leaving hardly noticeable scars. The plastic surgeon always discusses in detail with the patient all the nuances of the upcoming surgery in order to satisfy their wishes, while the specialists strive to achieve the most natural results of plastic surgery. In their daily work, the doctors of the department are guided by the recommendations of the German Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (DGPRÄC) and the European Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (ESPRAS). The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Charlotte Holm-Mühlbauer.

The primary specialty of the department is breast augmentation, reduction, and lift surgery. Women usually come to the department for breast augmentation due to developmental abnormalities, significant weight loss, breastfeeding, or to correct age-related changes. If necessary, breast augmentation surgery can be complemented with nipple and areola lift and correction. The plastic surgeons of the department care about the women's satisfaction with the result of the operation and therefore the American 3D modeling technology Vectra XT is available here. The computer system processes images of the patient's mammary gland with high accuracy, providing the specialist with the necessary data to select an implant of the optimal shape and size. In addition, Vectra XT technology makes it possible to generate images of the mammary gland after plastic surgery, which is also an advantage for patients.

The plastic surgeons of the department have exceptional experience in breast plastic surgery, so women can count on the best results. At the same time, it is important for the specialists to provide women with an individual solution to the problem, taking into account their wishes and needs. The department performs breast augmentation with silicone implants and breast augmentation with autologous fat tissue. The second option is suitable for women who wish to achieve a slight breast augmentation with the most natural result. In such operations, the plastic surgeons of the department use the Body Jet WAL water liposuction technique to collect autologous fat tissue. Breast augmentation surgery takes 45-90 minutes and is performed under general or local anesthesia.

Facelift is another plastic surgery procedure that is very popular in the department. The procedure is designed to eliminate wrinkles, sagging skin, nasolabial folds, and other signs of aging. The department offers facelift procedures that help patients look younger. The plastic surgeons of the department have a perfect command of all modern facelift techniques, the most effective of which are SMAS lift, including endoscopic techniques, MACS lift, and deep facelift. Facelift is performed in the department on an inpatient basis, under general or local anesthesia (depending on the extent of the operation). The surgery takes 3-4 hours and the hospital stay is 1-2 days.

The department also offers eyelid lift surgery (blepharoplasty). Eyelid surgery corrects drooping eyelids and bags or dark circles under the eyes, making the patient look much younger. These surgical procedures are performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. The Head Physician of the department, Prof. Dr. med. Charlotte Holm-Mühlbauer, and other specialists on her team are the developers of an innovative surgical method of eyelid correction that preserves fatty tissue. Unlike the conventional method, which requires the removal of fatty tissue, this procedure prevents sunken eyes. All details and questions of interest to the patient are discussed during an individual consultation.
