RECONSTRUCTION

The board-certified specialist for plastic and aesthetic surgery: More than "just beauty".

In addition to our work as plastic and aesthetic surgeons at JJPS, we both also work in parallel as senior attending physicians at the renowned Charité University Hospital in Berlin, where we help women particularly in the field of breast reconstruction after breast cancer.

In addition, in our many years as senior physicians at large clinics, we have performed the field of plastic reconstructive surgery, i.e. reconstruction in its entire range and also represented it scientifically and at lectures and congresses.   

Plastic reconstructive surgery becomes necessary when the form and function of the body must be restored or reconstructed. This is usually the case after an accident, a cancer operation or in the case of congenital malformations. Plastic reconstructive surgeons correct skin and soft tissues, muscles, tendons and peripheral nerves, as well as bones and cartilage. They restore functions to the limbs including the hands, as well as facial expressions. This is what is fascinating about this particular field of surgery: the diversity, complexity and interdisciplinary surgical approach across organ systems.

Even severed limbs can be successfully reattached, for example after accidents or cancer. Using a microscope and extremely small instruments, the plastic surgeon can even repair individual nerve fibers. Torn nerve cords can be sewn back together even a long time after an accident and can then slowly regenerate. In this way, even paralysis and loss of sensibility can often still be successfully treated by microsurgery or with so-called replacement operations.

The reconstructive fields also includes the removal of benign or malignant skin or soft tissue tumors as well as gender reassignment surgery for transgender individuals. One of the most common and now standardized procedures continues to be breast reconstruction using the patient's own tissue after breast cancer surgery.

With JJPS and our parallel clinical activities, we have fulfilled a personal heart's desire: Aesthetic medicine and reconstructive surgery at the highest level - the best of both worlds.
