We treat the face, breasts, body and intimate area and offer wrinkle treatments. Which procedure suits you, we clarify in a personal conversation.

Intimate surgery04
Wrinkle treatments05Face
Over the years, the face loses firmness and volume, and the gaze looks tired. Surgical and minimally invasive procedures refresh the facial features without changing your expression.
Breast
We plan breast augmentation, breast lift and breast reduction based on your anatomy and your wishes. Before every procedure, we discuss the course, risks and realistic results in detail.
Body
After pregnancies or major weight loss, excess skin often remains, and some fat pads do not go away despite exercise. We advise you on procedures that tighten skin and shape contours.
Intimate surgery
Some women have physical discomfort in the intimate area, others are bothered by the appearance. In a confidential conversation, we clarify which procedure is an option for you.
Wrinkle treatments
With targeted injections, expression lines can be relaxed and hollow areas filled again. The face looks more rested, while your expression stays mobile.

Plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery: What is the difference?
In the media and in everyday language, the terms plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery are often used interchangeably. Yet the difference is considerable and extremely important for you as a patient looking for an experienced doctor.
Plastic surgery is a recognized medical specialty with a protected specialist title. Cosmetic surgery, on the other hand, is a colloquial term that is not protected in Germany. In theory, any doctor can call themselves a “cosmetic surgeon,” even without the corresponding training. Dr. Nichlos is a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery. This title may only be held by someone who has completed a six-year specialist training after medical school.
What is plastic surgery?
Plastic surgery comprises the four areas of aesthetic surgery, reconstructive surgery, hand surgery and burn surgery. During six years of specialist training, a doctor must go through all four areas. In doing so, he performs hundreds of procedures under the supervision of an experienced specialist. Only at the end of the training may he hold the title "specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery." For patients, this is therefore a reliable quality marker.
What is cosmetic surgery?
Cosmetic surgery is neither a specialty of its own nor a recognized training profession in Germany. The term is often used to describe aesthetic procedures such as breast augmentation, liposuction or facelifts. The problem is that practically any doctor can call themselves this, whether dermatologist, gynecologist, surgeon or general practitioner. They do not need any separate training for it. Professional societies such as the DGÄPC therefore advise paying close attention to specialist titles when choosing a doctor.

Where do the treatments take place?
Outpatient procedures such as wrinkle injections with Botox or hyaluronic acid are performed by Dr. med. Nichlos at his practice at Grüneburgweg 95, 60323 Frankfurt am Main.

How much downtime should I expect?
That depends heavily on the procedure. Minimal wrinkle treatments are usually possible without downtime, while after operations such as a facelift or tummy tuck you should expect several days to weeks of recovery time. Dr. Nichlos will discuss the specific duration with you individually.

Aesthetic and plastic procedures are generally not covered by health insurance, as they are mostly elective treatments. Please note: Dr. med. Nichlos has no statutory health insurance accreditation, so treatments at the practice generally cannot be billed through statutory health insurance. In exceptional cases with a medical indication, you may contact your private health insurer.
How safe are aesthetic and plastic procedures?
Modern surgical techniques and strict standards help reduce risks. Nevertheless, every procedure, like any operation, can involve complications. Detailed information is always provided in a personal conversation with Dr. Nichlos.
