Look & feel

I point out to all my patients who come to me with the question of a treatment of their face that it is possible to "optimize" their face according to the aesthetic criteria, in Vienna there is the word "herrichten" - but then they have to put their (new) face into operation (this is how I explain it to my patients) themselves.

And in order to make this commissioning process better, easier and more natural, the respective treatment, including surgical interventions, may be helpful. Think of it as a kind of "robber's ladder" - the treasure that awaits these patients behind the wall is ultimately:

herself.

In my experience with patients and in professional exchanges with like-minded people, this can be expressed in many ways: as an increase in vitality, self-efficacy, resilience & resistance and authenticity. Especially after difficult times in the past, illness, isolation or experiences of loss, patients tell me that they are now able to "re-enter" their own lives, regain participation and involvement in the relationships around them and often enjoy better health.

Don't we all wish that (all) ?

I am writing my experience and personal positioning text here with a view to providing guidance for patients, referring physicians and interested parties in the midst of the beauty industry that is reaching out to everyone and everything. In this particular context, I refer to and deal exclusively with the face of my patients, as a region and part of our body and the effects of interventions and treatments on contour, shape and facial expressions and ultimately on the everyday (inner) life of patients.

If the desire to conform to current ideals of beauty or the longing for a better life, partner or job as a result of a tuned face leads you to me, you can at best be helped by medical advice/education and perhaps also advice against it, but not by any treatments whatsoever. Although "beauty" is promised in many places at a low threshold, all the treatments presented in this MAGAZINE are by no means suitable/necessary/helpful for everyone.

This can be found out in (at least) one personal doctor-patient consultation in my practice.
