We live in a sunny time

An increasing number of skin tumors are being diagnosed today, not only in older patients, which are directly related to exposure to UV light. More and more people are experiencing skin tumors such as white skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma or pigmented lesions such as melanoma - most of which are found on the face.

Fortunately, early and accurate dermatological diagnosis and prophylactic measures can prevent surgery in most cases - but the number of surgical procedures to remove such facial skin lesions is nevertheless increasing.

If surgical removal is unavoidable, it should be carried out as gently, quickly and completely as possible (many of these tumors tend to be persistent and recur) AND: you should be able to see as little as possible. An all too understandable wish, especially if it is on the face.

Our face is now something special in many respects.

And this is especially true when something has to be removed: if the result is not to be obvious and disturbing scars, distortions or dents, a special understanding, eye and "knack" is required - not only in the removal, but rather in the planning and execution of restorative measures (tissue displacement techniques from the immediate skin environment, so-called "flap plasty") to close the respective tissue defect, which results from the removal of the actually affected skin area.

In most cases, tenths of a millimeter and a profound knowledge of aesthetic units and functional correlations, as well as those relating to facial expressions, are decisive here, so that the nose does not deviate to one side, the lips are crooked or even an eyelid droops.

Plastic-aesthetic and functional-reconstructive (reconstructive) facial surgery meets all of these challenges in a highly precise and detailed manner.

Our facial surgery is equipped for the requirements of such treatments in many detailed areas and, in addition to quick appointments and a calm environment for everyone involved, also offers sufficient time for discussion before and after treatment. In addition, complete surgical removal is ensured by intraoperative frozen section diagnostics so that everything is "done" in one operation.
