The department's surgeons have advanced technology for complex plastic surgical procedures with minimal risk to health and good cosmetic results. The department performs both aesthetic plastic interventions to correct the appearance at the patient's own request and reconstructive interventions to eliminate the consequences after tumor removal, congenital or acquired defects, burns, etc. The department also deals with the treatment of chronic wounds and trophic ulcers. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Lior Geller.
The medical facility also specializes in non-surgical aesthetic procedures for rejuvenation and improvement of the appearance. The most popular procedures in this field include botox and hyaluronic acid injections, autologous adipose tissue injections (lipofilling), laser procedures, cosmetic procedures using trichloroacetic acid, various peels, etc. The prescription of a particular procedure is preceded by a consultation, during which the highly specialized expert tells about possible options for improvement of the appearance, their advantages and disadvantages, and also selects the most optimal procedure for the patient on an individual basis.
