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 have developed a high degree of precision and dexterity in handling the finest anatomical structures—skills that today form an essential part of my work in aesthetic medicine. For me, the goal is to naturally enhance radiance and well-being through finely tailored treatments.

I completed my residency in cardiac surgery at the German Heart Center of the Charité and worked there clinically for many years. At the same time, I dedicated myself intensively to scientific research and published several papers on topics such as bypass surgery and left atrial appendage closure. The close connection between clinical work and research early on reinforced my evidence-based medical standards and my interest in modern, long-term treatment concepts.

At the same time, my interest grew in looking at health not just through the lens of acute medicine, but also focusing on prevention, regeneration, and lasting well-being. Topics like heart health and longevity thus became 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 deepened my understanding of how closely functionality, natural appearance, and well-being are intertwined. In plastic surgery, in particular, I developed a keen sense of tissue texture, mastered the finest suturing techniques, and cultivated an eye for harmonious proportions—all of which continue to have a significant influence on my work today.

I completed my medical studies at the Free University of Berlin and Humboldt University of Berlin. Early on, I was fascinated by the biological and genetic connections of the human body as well as the combination of science, problem-solving, and operative medicine. The complexity of medical processes and the opportunity to directly influence health and quality of life through knowledge and technique sparked my long-term passion for surgery during my studies.

During my practical year, I gained international clinical experience at renowned institutions in New York, Houston, and Bern. The different healthcare systems, working methods, and medical focuses broadened my perspective on medicine far beyond national borders. At the same time, this period sparked my personal interest in the factors that sustainably influence long-term health, regeneration, and physical well-being.
