For me, medical responsibility is the top priority in plastic and cosmetic surgery. An honest consultation and working together to set realistic goals form the foundation of my treatment approach. It is important to me to discuss both the possibilities and the limitations openly.
In my view, lipedema surgery in particular combines medicine and aesthetics in a unique way: Lipedema is a medical condition, which is why reducing pain and discomfort is the primary goal. At the same time, as a plastic and aesthetic surgeon, I believe that harmonious body proportions and an aesthetic outcome are essential components of a successful treatment.
It is particularly important to me to provide my patients with personalized, long-term care —from the initial consultation through surgery to follow-up care.
At PANTEA®, we combine a delicate touch in aesthetic surgery with medical precision in lipedema surgery —always with the goal of achieving the best possible medical and aesthetic treatment outcomes, prioritizing our patients’ individual wishes, and significantly improving their quality of life. To this end, we use innovative techniques such as Vaser®, Renuvion®, and QuantumRF.
I am very pleased to be part of the PANTEA® team of experts, where I can put my many years of experience in lipedema surgery to the best possible use for the benefit of our patients.

More Than Just a Physical Change
What particularly fascinates me about plastic and aesthetic surgery is the opportunity to combine medical treatment with an understanding of the body's shapes and proportions.
I have a particular passion for lipedema surgery. For me, this field directly combines the treatment of a medical condition, the relief of pain and discomfort, and the pursuit of a harmonious aesthetic result.
I find it particularly rewarding to support my patients over an extended period of time and to witness how the treatment can not only provide physical relief but also contribute to greater freedom of movement and a new sense of well-being . I often see their quality of life and self-confidence grow as a result.
Being able to accompany my patients as they progress over an extended period of time is one of the most rewarding aspects of my profession.
What Makes Me Who I Am
I feel right at home both on a mountain peak and on the dance floor. My German-Argentine roots connect two worlds for me: a Bavarian sense of belonging and a Latin American zest for life. Maybe that’s exactly why I enjoy variety, meeting new people, and experiencing different cultures—and why, despite my determination, I’m a very cheerful person.
