Reconstructive surgery

Plastic medicine offers those affected - for example after tumours, congenital malformations or after severe injuries or burns - the opportunity to regain a significant part of their quality of life.

Restorative or reconstructive surgery is the largest mainstay of plastic surgery at the Helios Hospital Krefeld. Our experienced team stands for the interaction of form and function, for example in the face, limbs or the female breast.
An operation for recovery after accidents, paralysis, cancer or congenital malformations contributes significantly to an improved quality of life. We will give you detailed advice and answer all your questions on topics such as the improvement of body functions, aesthetics, pain after an operation and the duration of healing.

We use the following methods for recovery:

  • Correction and reconstruction of skin, muscles, tendons, nerves, bones and cartilage
  • Removal of cancerous tissue of the skin and soft tissues and reconstruction with own tissue
  • Dynamic or static restoration for facial paralysis
  • Replacement or adjustment of muscles and tendons
  • Correction of scars
  • Reconstruction of the female breast with own tissue

We work closely with the respective specialist departments, particularly in the case of cancer in the ENT, gynaecological and dermatological areas. The reconstruction of the female breast is of particular concern to us in order to support breast cancer patients in regaining their femininity, sexuality and an intact body image.
