We excise suspicious tissue on and under the skin all over the body (for specific breast diseases see the corresponding link  Breast surgery). After removal of the tissue, it is immediately examined by a pathology institute. The results are discussed with the patient in our practice. If the tumor is malignant, further removal will be necessary. To avoid a future recurrence of the tumor, it and a certain amount of the surrounding tissue must be excised. With the plastic surgical techniques of tissue transposition and transplantation, even larger defects can be corrected easily. Especially on the face, a neat, barely visible scar is very important for the patient's self-image. As plastic surgeons we see a combination of an oncologically correct approach and an aesthetically pleasing end result as our main goals.

Complete - oncologically necessary - tumor resections often go along with a profound loss of soft tissue or skin and thus produce considerable defects. Similar defects are seen after certain accidents.
The reconstruction of those defects under functional and aesthetic aspects is one of the main tasks of plastic surgery. We achieve a closure of these problem wounds with the aid of pedicled flaps – or microsurgical anastomized free transplanted flaps - skin transplantation, as well as by means of certain cutting techniques.
All these techniques should give our patients back the feeling of corporal integrity and should also minimize functional impairments.
The techniques of microsurgery or skin transplantation belong to the basic education of a plastic surgeon.
Our premise is the oncologically correct approach with minimal functional or aesthetic impairment to get best results for our patients.
