Benefits of plastic surgery in Germany
According to statistics, more than 40% of Hollywood stars visit aesthetic surgery clinics located on German territory. Perhaps this is an indicator of the trusted workmanship of German specialists, because surely these famous celebs can afford plastic surgeons in the USA.
The main advantages of plastic surgery in Germany are:
- Reconstructive surgery. In Germany, various surgical interventions aimed at eliminating cosmetic defects are carried out. This area of plastic surgery is constantly developing, modern technologies and developments are being used to correct abnormalities of developmental and other defects. Today, Germany is one of the leading countries in the field of reconstructive surgery.
- High level of service. It is normal that patients want to experience comfortable conditions for their postoperative stay in German hospitals. Here, patients are provided with calm, serene wards and are offered a menu depending on the patient’s condition and his/her wishes.
- Qualified specialists. Doctors practicing plastic and reconstructive surgeries are competent and have much experience in this field of medicine. The accuracy and pedantry of doctors during operations, ensures that the desired result is achieved without the risk of complications. Medical assistance is timely, ensuring that patients are at ease.
- Examination and extent of the operation according to the indications. Poor-quality plastic surgery is equated to a charge of bodily injury in Germany. The situation is changed only by the patient's voluntary consent to intervene. The doctor will never ignore any obvious contraindications to plastic surgery - the patient's health is the priority, rather than personal benefit.
- Use of stem cells and autologous tissues. These technologies are applied to enlarge certain body parts. Modern surgical techniques are used in the process. Benefits of such an approach are obvious, as the risk of rejection and an allergic reaction to the transplant is reduced, and the part of the body that has been corrected retains its properties in a non-operated form. This allows patients to achieve the most natural result possible.
- Surgeries on an outpatient basis. Certain surgical interventions are done on an outpatient basis, which allows a person to go home right after their treatment. This impacts the cost of the intervention as well, ie. the general cost of healthcare services is significantly reduced.
- Computed modeling (engineering). In Germany the use of preliminary computed appearance modeling helps to predict the result of an intervention, as well as to specify the requirements of the patient before the operation. The latest systems use 3D modeling.
- Cost effective. There are also interventions which require aesthetic surgery, along with the reconstructive surgeries. Thus, mammoplasty in the classic form has many negative consequences: scars on the chest and the inability to feed a baby. The modern approach to mammoplasty by German doctors is to increase the bust in such a way that the scars hide in the crease of the chest or armpit and are virtually invisible. And, there is also the opportunity to fully experience the joy of motherhood and feed your baby with the remaining breast.
Modern technologies and attentive doctors that have great respect for the health of their patient, offer first-class service without it costing an arm or a leg. This makes Germany one of the most attractive countries for plastic surgery. A great demand for aesthetic interventions, in turn, has caused the rapid development of this branch of medicine. Hence, more safe and effective methods to improve the appearance of patients are also ensured.
