Since 2003 I became consultant in the department of Wolfgang Mühlbauer, Prof., MD of Plastic Surgery.

In november 2004 I decided due to my addiction to the aesthetic plastic surgery to work together with Yoram Levy, MD, first in the Partnachklinik Garmisch-Partenkirchen and now in a very close partner- and friendship with Yoram in our Clinic (Aesthetik am Ammersee Dres.

Together we developed the “upper face lift”.

 

Multiple lectures and live-op-demonstrations on national and international congresses, several research papers in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery and publications concerning the Face and Breast Surgery.

 

Faculty member of the German Society of Plastic Surgery (DGPRÄC,VDPC) and the German Society of Aesthetic surgery (GÄCD), where I am responsible for the further education of the section of Face-Surgery and especially the Face-Neck-Lift- and Forehead-Surgery.
