The patients mostly come to the medical facility with a desire to undergo procedures to rejuvenate the face, reshape and resize the breast, reshape the body contours by liposuction and plastic surgery of the anterior abdominal wall, and to undergo interventions to reshape the ears and nose. All current international protocols are strictly met in clinical practice, which guarantees the success of any operation or cosmetic procedure. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med.

One of the main advantages of the department is the use of state-of-the-art surgical techniques, which exclude the possibility of serious tissue damage during the operation. The operating rooms are fitted out with advanced computer equipment and surgical instruments for the safest and the most effective treatment.
Each patient is provided with an individual approach. Before prescribing an intervention, the doctor holds a comprehensive consultation, during which he offers the patient several optimal solutions to their problem, after which they make a joint decision on the most optimal treatment method.
