Surgeons & qualifications

Why patients travel to our practice

Because the surgeons who perform aesthetic surgery here are the ones who operate on your medical indication – and because we plan every procedure so that the result still convinces two years later.

Two brands, one team: medically indicated surgery runs through the medical partnership, purely aesthetic treatment through JugendLiebe.

Qualification

What stands behind the treatment

Not a centre on paper, but a small team with clearly assigned areas of expertise.

Board certification

Five consultants, one standard

Every operating surgeon is a board-certified specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery – a six-year German specialist training covering reconstruction, hand surgery, burn care and aesthetics.

  • More than 60 years of combined medical experience
  • Several thousand procedures performed as a team
  • University and hospital background, including burn and reconstructive surgery
Focus

Reconstruction rather than routine

Our daily work is defect coverage, local flaps and shaping. These are exactly the techniques that decide how a scar looks after a facial tumour excision.

  • Skin tumour surgery including nose, eyelid, ear, lip and scalp
  • Reduction mammoplasty and correction of tubular breast deformity
  • Lymph-sparing lipedema liposuction using WAL and VAL
  • Laser-assisted skin tightening as a self-pay service
Science and teaching

Current evidence, not habit

Prof. Dr. Jennifer Schiefer combines clinical practice with research and teaching. Guidelines, safety margins and the choice of technique are reviewed by the team on a regular basis.

  • Professorship and scientific publication record
  • Continuous professional development and congress attendance
  • Interdisciplinary cooperation with dermatology, pathology and lymphology
International patients

Planned around one or two trips

Patients from the UK, Ireland and Scandinavia regularly travel to us. We prepare the pathway so that the number of trips stays predictable.

  • Consultation in English, on site or by video before you travel
  • Surgery and first follow-up scheduled within one stay where clinically safe
  • Written English documentation for your insurer and your doctor at home
  • Cologne/Bonn and Düsseldorf airports within 30 to 60 minutes
The team

Five female consultant plastic surgeons

All surgery takes place in our private practice by Cologne's Stadtwald. Five board-certified specialists in plastic and aesthetic surgery share more than 60 years of clinical experience and several thousand operations – each of them with many years of skin tumour surgery behind her.

Our principles

Five things you can rely on

  • We tell you when surgery is not the right answer – even when you would like to have it.
  • Every procedure is planned backwards from the result: incision, closure, final scar.
  • Costs are fixed in writing before treatment, including anaesthesia, histology and follow-up.
  • Indications are documented so that they stand up to review by your insurer.
  • Medically indicated surgery and purely aesthetic requests stay clearly separated.

This page provides information on qualifications and treatment options and does not replace medical advice. Whether a procedure suits you can only be assessed after a personal examination.
