In the past, many people had to live with deformities in certain parts of the body caused by accidents, illnesses or congenital deformities. Today, plastic reconstructive surgery can often restore both form and function.

Thanks to special surgical techniques, it is possible to stretch, move or transplant tissue - including skin, muscles, tendons and blood vessels. The plastic reconstruction of lost tissue and the reconstruction of nerve and tissue structures are also often possible thanks to modern surgical procedures and enable patients to return to a largely "normal" life.
