“There are a lot of black sheep without the fundamental training around in our profession,” says Dr. med. Jens Kauczok, specialist for aesthetic, plastic and reconstructive surgery. “Only a board certified specialist for plastic and aesthetic surgery has undergone the required years of qualified training.” Dr. Kauczok trained and worked for several years at the renowned University Hospital RWTH Aachen and then was senior consultant in Cologne before opening his practice in Würzburg in April 2014.“We offer the whole range of aesthetic surgery in our Würzburger premises, while concentrating on face lifts, rhinoplasty and breast augmentations. I also cooperate with a hospital in Kitzingen where I mainly perform reconstructive breast surgery.”

Today, Dr. Kauczok is amongst the most noted and qualified cosmetic surgeons in Germany. His passion and dedication are obvious when he talks about his profession: ”Plastic surgery is a very special medical field as it is not limited to a certain body organ or part. We plastic surgeons have specific manual skills and surgical techniques which are used in cooperation with all the others surgical disciplines. The particular charm of plastic surgery lies in the large variety of techniques and possible treatments.” Needless to say that a good plastic surgeon always stays ahead of the game.“In recent years a lot of new, so-called gentle anti-aging treatments have arrived on the market. But experience has shown that new is not necessarily better and I am happy to see
that the trend is returning to more complex operations. In my opinion, the only promising new technique is the transfer of the patient’s own body fat, not only for treating wrinkles but also for breast reconstruction for aesthetic reasons or after treatment for cancer. The idea itself is not new but up until today the body disposed very quickly of fat. Thanks to a new method, 80% of the fat is now stored and the long-term results are much better.” www.kauczok.de
