Düsseldorf, July 2025: Dr. Karl Schuhmann looks back on three decades in plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. His credo: precision in detail, professional independence and a trained eye for what makes faces appear natural and distinctive.
"To change means to understand – this principle runs through my entire career."
After intensive years in senior clinical positions, he founded his practice in Düsseldorf in 2016. In parallel, he continues to accompany medical-humanitarian missions in countries with limited surgical provision – a commitment that has a lasting influence on his work.
30 Years – Four Milestones
Specialist training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery – specialisation in precision and microsurgery.
Senior clinical position and establishment of a cross-clinic department for Plastic & Aesthetic Surgery in Hattingen and Bochum.
Founding of the private practice in Düsseldorf – bringing together facelift, body surgery and regenerative procedures.
Expansion of energy-based skin tightening, PRP, exosome and biostimulator treatments; ongoing international missions.
Today, Dr. Schuhmann is regarded as an experienced expert in modern facelift techniques. The surgical repertoire is complemented by regenerative procedures, energy-based skin tightening and collagen-stimulating concepts – with the aim of sustainably strengthening skin quality and facial contours.
What Defines the Approach
Naturalness as a Philosophy
Every treatment is guided by the individual's expression – results appear relaxed, not contrived.
Interdisciplinary Planning
Surgical experience, regenerative medicine and skin-focused concepts work in tandem to achieve lasting results.
Responsibility & Informed Consent
Aesthetics is a medical responsibility: transparent consultation, realistic expectations, long-term care.
Areas of Focus in Daily Practice
Facelifts & Neck Lifts
Refined SMAS and deep-plane techniques deliver long-lasting results with short recovery times.
Regenerative Skin Treatments
PRP, exosomes, Sculptra® and energy-based procedures sustainably strengthen skin quality and collagen.
Humanitarian Reconstruction
Surgery for burns, acid attack victims and children with congenital abnormalities – including knowledge transfer to partner clinics.
Naturalness Is Not a Technique, but a Philosophy
This guiding principle shapes consultations as much as it does operations. Plastic surgery is understood as a medical tool that restores harmony, confidence and quality of life – far removed from short-lived trends.
