General Info

About me

I always wanted to study medicine and especially I am always interested in the visual part and plastic surgery. In my function as an eyelid, orbit, and lacrimal surgeon, I can develop in both fields. In my specialty I found a way to functionally help my patients with the extra cosmetic part.
