About the department
The Department of Plastic, Aesthetic Surgery and Aesthetic Dermatology at the Clinic for Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery Cologne offers the full range of surgical interventions in these fields. The department applies most modern and sparing surgical techniques, which allow to please patients with a beautiful appearance and high self-esteem. The field of competence also includes aesthetic and cosmetic procedures. All medical manipulations are carried out in spacious and well-equipped rooms, in accordance with the strictest requirements of asepsis and antiseptics. The Chief Physician of the department is Dr. med. Miriam Koeller-Bratz.
Both plastic and aesthetic procedures on the face and neck are especially popular. Depending on the patient's wishes, the doctors perform various lifting procedures, including forehead, brow and neck lift. The department's specialists also perform procedures to correct drooping eyelids, bags and dark circles under the eyes. The doctors often have to deal with the removal of facial wrinkles. For this purpose, they can use the injections of botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid, fillers, autologous fat, as well as a combination of these techniques.
A special offer of the department is hair transplantation. During this procedure, the patient's own hair follicles are transplanted to the desired area. Three months later, new healthy hair will grow from the transplanted follicles. At the same time, the hair has a natural and attractive appearance.
Women often visit the department for breast augmentation. The service range is complemented by operations for breast reduction and lift, as well as correction of its defects. The department's surgeons have successful experience in breast reduction surgery in men with gynecomastia.
The department regularly performs liposuction procedures (surgical removal of adipose tissue). Liposuction is recommended only if the patient cannot get rid of excess weight by means of a diet and exercise. The department's surgeons perform liposuction on all parts of the body – from the abdomen, waist, hips and buttocks to the chin, neck, back, arms and legs. Another common procedure in this spectrum is lipofilling (transplantation of the patient's adipose tissue from one zone to another). Lipofilling can be performed on all parts of the body. In most cases, the technique is used for the treatment of wrinkles, augmentation of lips or breast. The method is highly effective because the body does not reject autologous adipose tissue. It should be noted that two or more procedures are sometimes performed in order to achieve the desired result. Another advantage of the technique is the absence of visible scars.
The department also specializes in dermatosurgery. After the comprehensive diagnostics, the doctors remove skin changes of all types, taking into account aesthetic and functional aspects. These include skin tumors, moles, birthmarks, and other pathological changes in the skin and subcutaneous fat, such as lipomas. Thanks to long experience, Dr. Miriam Koeller-Bratz uses special plastic surgical and suturing techniques to achieve the best results from an aesthetic and medical point of view. The department also successfully performs surgery to remove extensive skin lesions in complex areas of the body, for example, on the face or hands.
