Experience and skill make the difference

We are often asked why we do not also offer other methods such as silicone, silicone plates, Hyalo fillers, grafts, scaffolds, skin strips, etc. We then patiently explain that, of course, we know all these methods very well, having worked on the subject for almost 30 years. And the reason we don’t use them is because we have judged them to be disadvantageous and bad for the patient.
This message is now simplified for us by the guidelines, because on page 105 of the guidelines there is a table warning against precisely these things, with the urgent note “DO NOT USE”.

Please realize that many of the things offered as “standard procedures” in colorful Internet advertisements or even films by reputable-looking doctors have neither been scientifically tested nor are they even approved in Germany.
With some things there is a clear risk of loss of function, sometimes even danger to life, especially with things that sound harmless, simple and cheap to patients.

Sometimes even brand names are invented to pretend that they are approved, reputable products just to attract patients.

Be vigilant and question all too nice-sounding stories. Don’t fall for guarantees of a certain result in centimeters.

What sounds too good to be true is usually not true!
