Procedures

Face

Facial surgery in Köln (Cologne): Forum Klinik - Facelift, Eyelid surgery etc.

The following chapters provide a comprehensive overview of the different procedures. Generally speking some trends can be discerned in Plastic and Aestetic Surgery of the aging face. Volumetric approaches supplement

Wrinkles

Basically, two types of wrinkles must be discerned: Those wrinkles caused by volume deficits and sagging or continuous folding of skin are called STATIC WRINKLES. Those caused by action of the underlying mimic muscle are called DYNAMIC WRINKLES.

DYNAMIC WRINKLES that exist untreated for prolonged periods of time gain an additional STATIC COMPONENT, so that even with no action of the underlying muscle the fold is present due to a thinning of the skin.

Nose

Nose surgery : Forum Klinik Köln. We are specialized in nose surgery in the FORUM KLINIK in Köln (Cologne). The nose, being the most prominent region of the face sometimes becomes the region of most prominent concern. Ideally the nose should fit beautifully into the harmony of the face and should never be conspicuous.The nose should give way to the eyes. The latter should express our personality and establish non verbal contact.

Breast

Breast augmentation, Breast lift, Breast reduction and Gynaecomastia: Forum Klinik  Köln (Cologne). We provide some useful basic information on the following topics. Please click on the links for further in-depth information.

Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty - Forum Klinik Köln (Cologne). Pregnancies account for most problems with the abdomen, followed by rapid gain and loss of weight. In most cases we find a combination of skin excess and laxity of  the abdominal wall. Both problems have to be addressed during surgery to recreate a nice looking belly.

Female genitalia

Too long labia minora can be effectively reduced with a small surgical procedure. This is a not so infrequent procedure. Its indication are long inner labia that protrude to an undesirable extent and sometimes are not only of cosmetical concern but molest in daily activities.

Liposuction

Liposuction: Forum Klinik Köln (Cologne). Liposuction is one of the most frequently performed aesthetic procedures. Nonetheless we feel there are some points that need to be clarified:

1. Liposuction is no substitute for a diet. If you are obese, you are not a candidate for liposuction. Liposuction will efficently correct a unsightly maldistribution of fat., be it at the hips in women or the "love handles" in men, amongst others. Liposuction of the face, the jowls, the double chin and gynaecomastia can be an excellent indication. The obese are not.

Hand surgery - microsurgery

Hand surgery - Forum Klinik Köln (Cologne). We hold a degree in Hand Surgery and are highly experienced in this field. Due to the structure of the clinic we cannot offer trauma surgery, but we do offer all planned hand surgery, tendon and nerve surgery, carpal joint surgery etc.

The Clinic´s speciality is a very uninvasive carpal tunnel surgery by a very limited approach. No casts or drainage are needed and the hand may be used for everday requirements one day after surgery.

Reconstructive surgery

Reconstructive surgery - Forum Klinik Köln (Cologne). Our Clinic offers all kind of reconstructive surgery. Most reconstructive surgery is done on the face to reconstruct defects after skin tumor surgery. Although the resection of tumor and prevention of recurrence is paramount, aesthetical considerations are important in reconstructive surgery.

We always strive for aesthetically acceptable solutions, and being very active in aesthetic facial surgery, have all the armamentarium needed at hand.
