My background

 I grew up in Bremgarten near Bern, where I also completed my mandatory schooling followed by my Matura in Bern. From an early age, influenced by my family environment, my interest in medicine developed. This led me to start my medical studies in Bern in 2007, and after successfully passing the state examination and my dissertation, I was promoted to Doctor of Medicine in 2013. During my studies, I encountered surgical disciplines and dermatology, with a particular fascination for dermatosurgery and soft tissue surgery. I was able to deepen this fascination during a two-month internship in the Department of Plastic Surgery in Bern, which solidified my decision to specialize in plastic surgery. In preparation for my specialist training, I completed the common trunk of surgery at the Biel Hospital Center under the direction of Prof. Dr. med. C. Viehl, including a rotation in the intensive care unit. Starting in 2014, I had the opportunity to continue my specialization in plastic surgery at the Inselspital Bern under the leadership of Prof. Dr. med. M. Constantinescu, where I learned a wide range of plastic surgical techniques. In 2019, I finally passed the specialist examination, organized by EBORPAS in Brussels and Oxford.

During my training, I also had the opportunity to undergo further training in aesthetic surgery and breast surgery with Prof. Dr. med. D. Erni. As a deputy senior physician, I was able to deepen this knowledge at the breast tumor center of the Inselspital Bern in collaboration with Dr. Stengle starting in 2020. Concurrently, I began my practice at the Centerclinic in 2020.

My commitment also led me to Frauenfeld, where, under the leadership of PD Dr. med. T. Holzbach, I was able to expand my expertise in breast surgery, body contouring, and aesthetic surgery. In this challenging environment, I had the opportunity to refine my surgical skills and tackle complex cases, broadening my professional horizon and fueling my passion for plastic surgery.

Plastic surgery offers a unique opportunity to combine surgical precision with creative approaches, allowing for comprehensive patient treatment. I particularly appreciate the regular interdisciplinary exchange with other medical specialties, as it contributes to holistic and patient-centered care.

My particular interest lies in aesthetic surgery, especially facial rejuvenation measures and breast surgery, as well as reconstructive dermatosurgery. Through continuous education at international congresses, I ensure that I master the latest techniques and meet the highest quality standards in my practice.
