Bochum: Centre for Plastic/Aesthetic Surgery and Hand Surgery Opens

Together with the Evangelische Stiftung Augusta, a new centre of excellence for plastic-aesthetic and hand surgery procedures is being established in Bochum. The aim is a closely integrated care model in which patients benefit from the expertise of both sites – Bochum and Hattingen.

Why the New Centre Matters

Plastic surgery, hand surgery and aesthetic medicine are brought together under one roof. Diagnostics, surgery and aftercare will in future be coordinated – with short pathways between specialist disciplines and clear points of contact.

Key Areas of Collaboration

Cross-Site Care

Patients benefit from coordinated care pathways between Bochum and Hattingen. Teams, surgical capacities and aftercare are fully integrated.

Breast Centre & Plastic Surgery

The connection to the Breast Centre enables combined procedures – from reconstructive breast surgery to aesthetic corrections.

Network of the Evangelische Stiftung Augusta

Collaborations with the obesity centre, gynaecology and other specialist departments create ideal conditions for holistic treatment concepts.

Range of Services

  • Plastic and reconstructive surgery of the face, body and breast
  • Aesthetic surgery and minimally invasive treatments
  • Hand surgery including treatment of complex nerve, tendon and bone injuries
  • Aftercare and rehabilitation programmes in close coordination with partner departments

What Patients Can Expect

Transparent consultations, joined-up planning and personal accompaniment – from the initial appointment through the procedure to rehabilitation. For complex cases, multidisciplinary teams are on hand.
