Current trends in cosmetic surgery
Fibrin glue – modern support for beautiful and safe wound healing
When performing aesthetic facial surgery, it is not only the medical result that is important, but also that the scarring is as fine and inconspicuous as possible. To support healing in a natural way, I use a fibrin glue for certain operations – an innovative, gentle and very well-tolerated method of wound care.
Magnesium – beware of ops!
Magnesium – important, but with caution before operations
Many people take magnesium to support muscle function, against cramps or for general relaxation. What is hardly known, however, is that magnesium can have a blood-thinning effect.
Ozempic face ? What now? Part II
As already reported, losing weight also has its downsides if it is exaggerated, as the current article from BILD today shows.
If the skin is sagging, the measures to increase volume no longer help or no longer help alone.
Whenever skin is sagging, it must be lifted because there is no elasticity left.
So a face lift is the right solution here.
Risky bargains – cosmetic surgery abroad “Stinginess is not always cool”.
More and more people are having aesthetic procedures carried out abroad – tempted by low prices and the vacation feeling. However, the supposed bargain price can be expensive if medical standards, aftercare and liability do not meet local requirements.
What to do about the Ozempic face?
Many patients report significant weight loss after using GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic®, Wegovy® or Mounjaro®.
Unfortunately, not only the body but also the face loses volume and elasticity – the cheeks appear sunken, the skin sags and the face appears tired, even haggard.
This phenomenon is often referred to as “Ozempic Face”.
In our practice, we offer modern, minimally invasive volume and regeneration therapies to gently harmonize the face and restore youthful contours.
BTX-What is it and how does it actually work?
Everyone is talking about BTX for wrinkle treatment.
Nevertheless, many patients and users do not know exactly what it actually does and why.
That is why we will try to explain this briefly here.
Botox-What to do if you don’t like the effect?
Botulinum toxin (“Botox”) has been used safely and successfully to treat wrinkles for many years. Nevertheless, it can happen that the result does not meet your expectations.
So what can you do?
Liposuction for lipedema is now covered by health insurance!
Lipoedema is a chronic disease that almost exclusively affects women. It is a disorder of fat distribution in which abnormally altered fatty tissue accumulates mainly on the legs and/or arms – usually symmetrically. The hands, feet and upper body are typically spared.
From 2026, the health insurance fund will cover the costs of liposuction if conservative therapies have previously failed for 6 months.

The skin is optimized from within through intensive hydration. Dryness lines are reduced and the skin’s texture appears smoother and more even.

E – Enhancement
The complexion is visibly improved: the skin appears fresher, plumper and more youthful – the complexion gains new radiance.
R – Regeneration
The natural regeneration of the skin is stimulated. Collagen and elastin production increase, which supports skin density and firmness in the long term.
A – Activation
Biological processes in the skin are activated and cell renewal is stimulated. The result: healthy, vital skin with a natural glow.
