Dr Esther Tamandl-Wassermann
At the Kuzbari Centre, Dr Esther Tamandl-Wassermann is responsible for facial aesthetics and facial surgery. Her range extends from minimally invasive treatments through to surgical procedures on the eye area — with the aim of a result that suits the face and the personality.
Eyelid surgery built on many years of surgical experience.
Dr Esther Tamandl-Wassermann is a specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. As a senior consultant in the department of plastic surgery at Klinik Ottakring she brings many years of surgical experience with her — and at the Kuzbari Centre she treats the whole face, from minimally invasive treatment through to upper and lower eyelid lifts.
Her standard: natural results that suit the face and the personality, and honest advice that creates realistic expectations.
Upper and lower eyelid — the finest work in the face.
Eyelid surgery is one of her two areas of focus at the Kuzbari Centre. Upper and lower eyelid lifts call for millimetre precision: the eyelid has the thinnest skin on the body, and every change to it is immediately visible in the whole facial expression.
Because Dr Tamandl-Wassermann also treats the same region minimally invasively, she can say openly in the first consultation what each method can achieve — and where an operation is the more honest route.
