Your beauty isn’t a template, it mirrors the story of your life as an individual.

ORVĒA was founded out of my long-standing passion for aesthetic medicine and my commitment to offering modern treatment concepts at the highest medical standard. Over the years, I completed numerous continuing education programs and specialized courses in the field of aesthetic and minimally invasive treatments to ensure I could provide patients with the highest standard of medical care.

Together with Katharina, this led to a vision of reimagining aesthetic medicine within a more modern and holistic context. Through my many years of experience in cardiac and, in particular, vascular surgery, I developed a high degree of precision and dexterity in working with the finest anatomical structures—skills that today play a significant role in my work in aesthetic medicine. For me, the goal is to naturally enhance a patient’s radiance and sense of well-being through carefully tailored treatments.

I completed my residency in cardiac surgery at the German Heart Center at Charité, where I worked in a clinical capacity for many years. At the same time, I devoted myself intensively to scientific research and published several papers on topics such as bypass surgery and atrial appendage closure. The close integration of clinical practice and research reinforced my commitment to evidence-based medicine early on, as well as my interest in modern, long-term treatment approaches.

At the same time, I became increasingly interested in viewing health not solely through the lens of acute care, but also in focusing on prevention, regeneration, and sustainable well-being. Topics such as heart health and longevity have thus become an important part of my current understanding of modern healthcare and holistic medicine.

During my residency, I gained experience in general, cardiac, thoracic, vascular, and plastic surgery in Germany and Switzerland. Working in various hospitals and with international teams gave me an early, multifaceted, and interdisciplinary perspective on modern medicine, different treatment approaches, and patient-centered care.

In particular, the combination of acute surgical care and plastic-reconstructive procedures broadened my understanding of how closely functionality, natural appearance, and well-being are interconnected. In plastic surgery, in particular, I developed a keen sense of tissue handling, mastered the most delicate suturing techniques, and cultivated an eye for harmonious proportions—skills that continue to have a significant influence on my practice to this day.

I completed my medical studies at Freie Universität and Humboldt University in Berlin. From an early stage, I was particularly fascinated by the biological and genetic aspects of the human body, as well as the interplay between science, problem-solving, and surgical medicine. The complexity of medical processes and the opportunity to directly influence health and quality of life through knowledge and technology sparked my long-standing passion for surgery even while I was still a student.

During my clinical rotation year, I gained international clinical experience at renowned institutions in New York, Houston, and Bern. The different healthcare systems, working methods, and medical specialties broadened my perspective on medicine beyond national borders early on. At the same time, I developed a personal interest in the factors that have a lasting impact on long-term health, regeneration, and physical well-being.
