The Medical Practice

The Plastic Surgeon Vourtsis, based in Milan, is specialised in the field of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery and Cosmetic Surgery. His practice is studied to the last detail and furnished with extreme care and refinement to invite the patient to step into a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere that is quite unlike the conventional medical practice.

Clinical activity. Dr. Stefanos Vourtsis establishes relations with the patient by performing a specialised examination during which he discusses the patient’s question. This analysis is followed by a simple and exhaustive explanation of the possible medical or surgical solutions. He also offers all mainstream cosmetic treatments, ranging from laser sessions (fractionated CO2 and pulsed light), to aesthetic medicine treatments and outpatient surgery (dermatological surgery, low risk cosmetic surgery).

For major surgery he relies on high quality private clinics in the Milan area.

The primary goal.

The Plastic Surgeon Vourtsis, based in Milan, offers an all-round service in the field of cosmetic surgery by combining the efficacy of medical and surgical treatments with enhanced aesthetic perception, an essential trait for the excellent outcome of plastic surgery. Naturally we cannot fail to consider the patient’s need to rapidly return to his or her activities; hence, various alternatives are proposed to suit every need.

Scheduling. If, during the first visit, the patient decides to proceed with surgery, it will be planned at private clinics in Milan that ensure high quality and safety standards.
