Should you develop a fever on the day of surgery, it is vital to inform the surgeon immediately. He / she will invite you for a consultation or refer you to your general practitioner for appropriate treatment. Please don't hesitate to contact us should you have any further questions.

Surgery performed under a local anesthetic does not require you to arrive at the clinic on an empty stomach. Surgery under sedation or general anesthesia, by contrast, requires you to not eat or drink anything up to six hours before the operation. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information.

Surgery performed under a local anesthetic does not limit your ability to drive home yourself, provided you are able sit behind the wheel in a normal state. In the case of general anesthesia, however, we do advise you to have someone else drive you home. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information.

We strongly recommend that you stop smoking at least 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after the procedure. Nicotine, after all, causes a spasm of the small blood vessels, reducing the blood flow to the wounds and thus potentially delaying the healing process. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information.

The point at which you can start working again after surgery depends, on the one hand, on the type of procedure you have undergone and, on the other hand, on the physical requirements of your job. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information.

There’s no need to bring any special items on the day of surgery. However, you must arrive at the clinic on an empty stomach if you will undergo general anesthesia, i.e. you are not allowed to eat or drink up to six hours before the procedure. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information.

Upon leaving the clinic, we will provide you with your treating physician’s mobile phone number. You can dial this number 24/7 should complications occur.

For reconstructive surgery, there is no minimum age. Aesthetic procedures, by contrast, are not performed on patients under the age of 18, unless both parents share with us their written consent prior to the procedure. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information.

At this moment, the average waiting time for treatment is two to three weeks.

Any incision will always leave a scar. If possible, however, the surgeon will make the incision in a discreet area; e.g. in a skin fold. In some cases, this means the scar will end up hardly visible. To minimize scarring as much as possible, we recommend using a scar reducing cream. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information.
