"Cosmetic surgery"

Face

The longing for eternal beauty and youth is probably one of the oldest dreams of mankind. Even if no one can fulfill this dream, there are plenty of ways to keep the skin young for a long time: A healthy, alkaline-rich diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, little meat, little sugar) and sufficient exercise in the fresh air promote a beautiful skin image.

Daily use of a cream with a high sun protection factor prevents UV-related skin damage. Vitamin serums (Vit.C+ E+ A) stimulate the formation of new collagen and act as a free radical scavenger, hyaluronic acid provides additional moisture when needed. Small wrinkles can already appear from the age of 30. They are further deepened by the skin's increasing loss of moisture, by environmental influences such as smoking and sunbathing, and by the constant movement of facial muscles. It makes sense to treat wrinkles before they become deep furrows. Treatments are individual, depending on the type of wrinkles.

Botox

Botulinum toxin is produced by genetic engineering and causes blockage of signal transmission from nerve cells to the corresponding muscles. The muscles responsible for the unwanted wrinkles are no longer used and atrophy - the wrinkles smooth out.

Botox is particularly suitable for frown lines, crow's feet and forehead wrinkles. But it is also good for treating wrinkles on the neck. It also has an excellent effect against excessive sweating. Effectiveness: about six months, because the substance is broken down by the body. With repeated injections, the unwanted facial expressions disappear and the wrinkles continue to flatten.

But it is also good for treating wrinkles on the neck. It also has an excellent effect against excessive sweating. Effectiveness: about six months, because the substance is broken down by the body. With repeated injections, the unwanted facial expression is unlearned and the wrinkles continue to flatten.

INDICATION frown lines / forehead wrinkles / eye wrinkles
RISKS repeated treatments necessary / drooping eyelid
AFTERCARE none

Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is a substance produced naturally in the body, which consists of complex sugar molecules and keeps connective tissue elastic. When applied externally, it causes improved hydration of the skin. Hyaluronic acid is also used to fill wrinkles. It is suitable for injections of nasolabial folds and wrinkles around the mouth and is also used for lip injections. Depending on the degree of cross-linking, hyaluronic acid is slowly broken down by the body. Effectiveness approximately one year.

INDICATION Nasolabial folds / wrinkles at the corners of the mouth / narrow lips / sunken cheeks, etc.
RISKS bruises
AFTERCARE none

Medical Microneedling

Medical microneedling is an innovative low-pain anti-aging treatment that gently results in radiant, younger and firmer skin. This latest technology is a further development of the Dermaroller ® and the Microneedling Pen - wafer-thin needles are simultaneously inserted into the skin in milliseconds and stimulate it to self-regeneration - increased collagen and elastin is formed and hyaluronic acid is released. The depth of penetration is precisely adjusted on the device and allows individual adaptation to your skin condition. The treatment lasts about 20 minutes and should be repeated 2-4 times at intervals of 4-6 weeks, depending on the indication.

INDICATION: Tightening of sagging tissues in the face/neck area & décolleté, skin rejuvenation for wrinkles, pore refinement, scar correction, stretch marks.
RISKS: None
AFTERCARE: Moisturizing mask for 45-60 minutes, sunscreen with high SPF.

PDO MESOFILAMENT LIFTING

Thread lifting is another effective method of facial rejuvenation without surgery. The 100% biocompatible threads are inserted into the skin via small stitches and slowly dissolve over several weeks to months. This stimulates the connective tissue cells to produce new collagen and the skin tightens. The treatment is particularly effective when combined with microneedling. 2-3 treatments are recommended at intervals of 6 weeks.

INDICATION Wrinkles at the corners of the mouth, drooping cheeks, sagging chin lines, neck wrinkles, sunken eyebrows.
RISKS bruises that can be made over
AFTERCARE None needed

Peeling

By removing the superficial layers of the skin with diluted acid (fruit acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid), cell renewal in the deeper layers of the skin is stimulated. Peeling makes the skin rosier, more even, with finer pores and it feels softer. Effectiveness: about six months.

Forehead lift

INDICATION sunken eyebrows, massive forehead wrinkles.
HOSPITAL STAY 1 Night
NARVES upper eyelid crease and in the hairy scalp
RISKS Postoperative hemorrhage, facial nerve injury, and wound healing disturbance.

EYES

Upper and lower eyelid lift

Eyelid lift is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgeries. During the operation, excess skin and any protruding fat pads are removed. It is a small operation with a big effect - the eyes become larger again and give the face a younger appearance.

If the visual field is more than 25 percent reduced, the health insurance company covers the cost of the surgery.

INDICATION sagging skin / bulging fat pads in the upper & lower eyelid area.
HOSPITAL STAY none / 1 night
NARVES Eyelid crease / lash line / inner eyelid
RISKS Postoperative bleeding / swelling/ distorted eyelid margin
AFTERCARE decongestant measures

Eyebrow lift

With age, there is a drooping of the eyebrows: The distance between the eyebrows and the eyelashes decreases, the eyes appear smaller and the face tired. As with droopy upper eyelids, there may be a restriction of the visual field - this is more common in men, as their eyebrows have a more horizontal orientation.

The eyebrow lift is performed through two incisions in the area of the hairy scalp (except for receding hairline!).

INDICATION sunken eyebrows / massive forehead wrinkles
HOSPITAL STAY 1 Night
NARVES upper eyelid crease and in the hairy scalp
RISKS Postoperative hemorrhage / facial nerve injury / wound healing disorder
AFTERCARE decongestant measures

Breast

The breast is the symbol of femininity and therefore plays a very special role in connection with body awareness. In the course of life, the breast changes more than most other parts of the body, and if they do not correspond to the woman's ideas in terms of shape or size, this can lead to dissatisfaction and a lowered self-esteem. Breast surgery is therefore one of the most common procedures in plastic surgery. After a detailed individual consultation, a correction - enlargement, reduction or lifting - can be carried out according to the personal ideas.

Breast augmentation

In the 90s there was only the possibility to enlarge breasts with implants. Today we have two new methods at our disposal: the enlargement by means of Brava® bra and the combination of Brava® bra with autologous fat injections. I strongly advise against breast augmentation using Macrolane®, as it leads to capsular fibrosis (hardening - lump formation) in more than 25% of women.

You will receive more information in a personal consultation.

INDICATION: too small breast / breast asymmetry
IMPLANTATE: saline / silicone gel filled
BRAVA ® or BRAVA ® plus Own fat injection
HOSPITAL STAY: 1 Night
NARVES: Armpit / Nipple Rim / Underbust Fold
RISKS: Postoperative bleeding / Capsular fibrosis / Wound infection / Pain
AFTERCARE: 3 weeks special bra

Breast reduction

Oversized breasts are not only an aesthetic problem - many women suffer from back and neck pain and the MR shows signs of wear already at a young age.

With a BMI of max. 27 and a minimum removal of 500g of breast tissue per side, the health insurance covers the surgery costs.

Breast augmentation without surgery

The BRAVA® System is the world's only clinically proven method for enlarging, shaping and firming the breast without any surgical intervention and is based on the scientific principle of tension-induced tissue growth, which has been successfully used for over 30 years in various medical fields to increase and reconstruct tissue.

WHEN breast augmentation / correction of breast asymmetry without surgery.
HOW LONG 16-24 weeks depending on size request
COST approx. 1800 €

The BRAVA® System exerts a sustained and vacuum-generated gentle pull on the entire breast. This stimulates the tissue cells to expand and grow, causing the breast volume to increase steadily and safely in a natural way.

Brava consists of two polyurethane expansion cups that enclose the breasts.

Through two small plastic tubes they are connected to the SmartBox, which controls the whole system. The whole system is worn with a special sports bra. The only disadvantage is the need to wear the Brava® system for several weeks (at least16) to achieve adequate growth.

If a woman is not averse to surgery, Brava® can be combined with autologous fat injections. The Brava® bra is worn six weeks before and one week after surgery. The negative pressure causes swelling and better blood circulation in the breast - the grafted fat tissue heals better. An advantage of this variant is that fat is suctioned where it is not desired - on the breeches, hips, abdomen, etc.

Body Shaping

The ideal figure is subject to subjective feeling and the dictates of the fashion world. It was subject to great fluctuations over the course of time and was redefined again and again. The lush beauty ideal of the Baroque is in stark contrast to today's almost anorexic models.

At no time has so much importance been attached to perfecting the body as today. Due to genetic predispositions, not all people can have the ideal figure, and the greater the difference between propagated ideal and evaluation of one's own attractiveness, the more dissatisfied one is with one's appearance. Thanks to modern medicine it has become possible to fulfill the human desire for change. It is possible to correct, within certain limits, the deficiencies of nature and thus raise the self-esteem of the person concerned. A detailed consultation and careful individual planning are absolute prerequisites for a successful procedure.

Localized fat deposits on the abdomen, thighs, hips, knees or back can be efficiently treated with liposuction. Excess skin around the abdomen, upper arms and thighs can occur after weight loss, after pregnancy and as part of the natural aging process. These can only be removed by surgery.

If the excess skin occurs after severe weight loss, health insurance often covers the cost of such operations.

If you suffer from overweight, weight reduction is necessary preoperatively. I have been working with Dr. Ursula Hanusch in this regard for many years.

Laser treatments

Permanent hair removal

Removal of annoying body hair in armpits, on the legs or in the intimate area is nowadays part of the aesthetic standard of many women. Usually this is done by means of shaving or by resin. However, these procedures are not only costly, as they have to be repeated constantly, but sometimes also very painful and often associated with irritation of the skin.

With the latest laser technology, annoying hair can be permanently removed.

The pulsed, monochromatic light of the laser obliterates the hair roots and the hair no longer grows back. However, since the laser is only effective in a certain growth phase of the hair, approximately six to eight treatments are necessary at intervals of four to six weeks. The darker and stronger the hair, the better the effect of the laser.

Especially for men

More and more men are seeking help from plastic surgery. The correction of drooping eyelids, the lifting of eyebrows but also the suction of too large fat deposits on the male chest (gynecomastia) are often desired. Tummy tucks and body contouring after drastic weight loss also improve the appearance and give a positive body image. Body contouring after massive weight loss is also frequently paid for by health insurance.

Other frequently requested treatments are:

Botox against wrinkles
Body hair removal by laser (for example on the back)
Help with gynecomastia (fat deposits on the male chest)
Upper eyelids and eyebrow lift
Correction of drooping eyelids
Facelift
Correction of protruding ears
Help against excessive sweating with Miradry or Botox

Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is either an increased fat deposit in the breast area or an enlarged mammary gland in men.

The causes can be genetic or hormonal - but in most cases the formation of a male breast occurs due to general overeating or taking anabolic steroids. In very rare cases, a tumor disease can also be the cause.

Therefore, before surgery, a mammogram / ultrasound should always be performed and the hormone status should be examined. Treatment is by liposuction and removal of the mammary gland, if necessary.
