Few words about me

Aesthetic surgery is a field of medicine that focuses on improving the appearance of patients’ bodies and faces through surgical procedures. As a surgeon, I appreciate the possibilities of aesthetic medicine, which allow patients to increase their self-confidence, improve their quality of life and have a positive impact on their mental health.

In my practice I deal primarily with:

  • Aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery,
  • Aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of limbs,
  • scar correction,
  • Aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of the face and neck.

I gained professional experience in Vienna, Wrocław, London, Zurich and Warsaw, acquiring unique competences that ensure lasting and natural results.
