Plastic surgery
Medicine – functionality – aesthetics: These are the cornerstones of our plastic surgery services. When conducting plastic surgical treatments, we help restore functions and malformations of the face and the entire body. Our approach is to consider both your external appearance and your personal well-being with equal importance. Extensive counselling is a crucial aspect of our practice: What are you hoping for?
