SA Aesthetics Berlin
Where medical expertise meets modern aesthetics
Expertise & Qualifications
Chief Physician Themistoklis Stavrakis, M.D. | Specialist in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery


Over 20 years of surgical experience in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself to plastic, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgery. During this time, I have had the privilege of guiding patients in all areas of the specialty – from reconstructive procedures to highly specialized aesthetic surgeries.
Years of experience means much more to me than the number of procedures performed. It means understanding anatomical relationships precisely, recognizing individual differences, and developing a tailored treatment plan for each patient.
Every procedure is based on careful analysis, modern surgical techniques, and the commitment to achieving natural, harmonious, and long-lasting results. At the same time, continuous education is a given for me, allowing me to offer my patients treatments that are at the forefront of plastic and aesthetic surgery.

Former Chief Physician of a renowned German clinic
As a former Chief Physician of a renowned German clinic for Plastic, Aesthetic, and Reconstructive Surgery, I was responsible for the surgical and medical management of the department. In addition to complex surgical procedures, training future specialists was also part of my responsibilities. As the holder of the training authorization, I had the privilege of guiding doctors on their path to specialist recognition – a special distinction that requires experience, professional competence, and pedagogical suitability.

International Teaching Activities
For nearly a decade, I have been training doctors in the field of aesthetic medicine both nationally and internationally.
Through international workshops, hands-on training, and scientific continuing education, I teach modern and complex injection techniques, anatomically based treatment concepts, and strategies for natural and safe results.
From 2018 to 2023, I served as a Certified Trainer for Galderma GAIN (Galderma Aesthetic Injector Network) – an international training program for doctors in the field of aesthetic medicine. Since 2023, I have been a Certified Trainer for the Allergan Medical Institute (AMI) and regularly conduct international workshops and training sessions for colleagues.

Surgical Expertise & Microsurgical Precision
Throughout my professional career, I have specialized in demanding procedures in plastic and aesthetic surgery. My surgical focus includes particularly the Deep Plane Facelift, aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery, as well as modern techniques in High-Definition Body Contouring.
A significant part of my surgical training was my work at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, where I gained extensive experience in microsurgical reconstruction, particularly autologous breast reconstruction using free DIEP flaps and other microsurgical reconstruction techniques. These highly complex surgeries require the utmost precision, a deep understanding of anatomy, and the skillful handling of the finest tissue structures.
The microsurgical principles acquired there continue to shape my surgical philosophy today. They particularly influence demanding aesthetic procedures such as the Deep Plane Facelift, eyelid surgery, breast surgery, and other complex operations where precision, tissue preservation, and a solid anatomical understanding can make all the difference.

Science & Publications
Author of scientific publications and regular speaker at international conferences and training events.
My Philosophy
Respect, honesty, empathy, and the pursuit of the best possible individual outcome are the foundations of my work in plastic surgery.
My Approach
My commitment, experience, and artistic approach provide me with the best foundation to achieve outstanding, naturally appearing cosmetic results for my patients in their personal transformation.
From the very first consultation, your personal wishes, anatomy, and expectations are at the center of our discussion. Open and honest communication is the basis for every successful treatment. Together, we will develop realistic goals and an individualized treatment plan that suits you.
After a thorough examination and an open conversation, I will help you achieve optimal results with the safest techniques through a personalized treatment plan.
Everything takes place at the highest and most current treatment standards.
Every patient is unique. Therefore, there are no one-size-fits-all solutions in plastic surgery. Each treatment is individually planned – and the results should be just as unique.
Your Decision
The decision to undergo plastic surgery can have a lasting positive impact on your life. Choosing the right plastic surgeon is just as important as the decision to proceed with the procedure itself.
A trusting relationship with your surgeon is based on integrity, experience, and professional competence. Equally crucial are a solid education, recognized qualifications, and open communication to ensure that expectations, possibilities, and personal goals are defined together from the outset.
I consider it a great privilege to accompany my patients on their personal journey. Each person brings individual wishes, expectations, and circumstances – therefore, it is my goal to develop a tailored solution for each individual. I look forward to meeting you personally and accompanying you on this journey.
