“I learned a great deal on different techniques in facelift surgery, liposuction, lipofilling, regenerative surgery and breast surgery. Both surgeons are unique in their strategy towards high patient satisfaction and excellent results. Their conceptual way of thinking was something new for me and something you will not learn during regular in-hospital rotations. Their willingness to share knowledge on techniques, patient consultation and even business management is truly remarkable.”
