Frequently Asked Questions

You have questions? We have answers.

Are breast implants safe?

Implants used for breast augmentation have been tried and tested for many years and no increased risk of cancer or any other disease associated with their use has been proven.

How long will breasts hold shape after augmentation?

Unless you go through a significant change in weight or hormonal changes, the shape of the breasts will stay the same for many years, unless unreasonably large implants are used (there is a risk of slight sagging).

Implant manufacturers recommend replacing implants about 10 years after the surgery, but if the sonogram or mammogram is OK, there is no need.

How often after breast augmentation would I have to see a doctor?

Checks after breast augmentation (breast augmentation with implants) should be performed once a year, even if you have no problems. We also recommend that clients undergo a sonogram examination once a year, which can reveal even the slightest deviations from the normal condition of the implants.

How does breast augmentation affect potential pregnancy?

As pregnancy has an effect on the shape of the breasts due to hormonal changes, the results of the operation may be devalued. So, if you are considering pregnancy in the near future, it is recommended to wait for the operation until after the children.

Is it possible to get rid of the dark circles underneath my eyes?

Lower eyelid surgery is used in order to remove the dark circles underneath the eyes.

For this procedure, a personal consultation is required.

The lower eyelid surgery can either be performed in a classic way or with a laser. Although the laser is more modern and quite gentle, it can not be used in every situation.

What is the best time to have the protruding ears of a child surgically repaired?

It is recommended for pre-school kids to undergo this procedure, as it is less painful for them.

In children up to 10 years of age, this procedure is covered by the health insurance company.

Do you also use galvanic iron in order to treat the skin?

Yes, we do.

Galvanic iron is one way you can keep your ageing skin in shape without having to undergo surgery. It rejuvenates the skin, smooths wrinkles, revitalises the scalp and smooths the whole body.

I have acne scars and and sore holes on my face. Can they be removed?

Acne scars on the face usually extend into the deeper layers of the skin and only surgery can improve the condition.

Mechanical sanding is used first, shallower scars and previously sanded scars are then softened by surface laser evaporation of the skin surface.

Small areas can be treated on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia, for larger areas a short general anaesthesia is required.

The healing time is about 10 to 12 days.

If the skin is in a very bad shape it can be improved by repeated laser procedures at intervals of 6 months.

Is it possible for stretch marks to be removed?

Unfortunately, stretch marks never fully disappear.

However, it is possible to reduce them using radio frequency and other physical devices that we have at our clinic.

Is laser hair removal also performed at the clinic?

Yes.

We perform depilation at our clinic with the Candela GentleLASE laser.

It is very individual and the doctor will give you more information during the initial consultation.

Which plastic surgeries are covered by health insurance?

Ear correction for children younger up to 10 years of age.
