Dr. med. Paschoal Felippe, Professor (UFSC-Brazil)

Specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery

Treatments

Key Expertise / Procedures / Treatments:

Surgeries of all complexity levels on the face and body for rejuvenation and body contouring.

Eyelid corrections are always performed with muscle tightening.

Rhinoplasties are carried out using an open technique for better visualization.

Facelifts involve correction of both skin and muscle structures, resulting in minimal scarring.

Endoscopic plastic surgery (so-called keyhole surgery technique) is used for facelifts and body procedures such as breast augmentation, abdominal surgery, and buttock contouring.

Liposuction is performed using High Definition (HD) technology to achieve a more defined body shape.

Breast lifts can be combined with augmentation for patients with insufficient volume, resulting in minimal scarring.

Abdominoplasty always includes muscle tightening, with treatment extending to the waist and hips for a comprehensive contour.

Buttock corrections involve reshaping, lifting, and, if necessary, augmentation using either the patient’s own tissue or implants.

Scar revisions for aesthetic improvements following previous surgeries.

SOS – Secondary Optimization of Aesthetic Surgery
Procedures to improve outcomes of prior surgeries performed elsewhere. Professor Felippe is frequently sought after by patients from distant locations for these treatments.

Care for breast implant patients
Comprehensive monitoring, including ultrasound, mammography, and MRI examinations if needed.

Outpatient / Inpatient Options:

Treatments can be performed on an outpatient basis or, if preferred by the patient, with a hospital stay. Outpatient procedures require specific criteria tailored to each patient to ensure they can safely return home the same day.

Dr. med. Stephanie Wurzer-Stix

Specialist in Gynecology and Obstetrics, Women’s Preventive Care

Treatments

Consultation:
Adolescent Consultation (First Love)

Many girls feel nervous before their first gynecological visit because they don’t know what to expect. I aim to alleviate this fear by offering an informative conversation during your first visit.

I can explain topics such as the female body, menstrual cycles, period discomfort, contraception options, and what happens during an annual gynecological check-up.

You are welcome to come alone or bring someone you trust. The discussion will be treated confidentially.

If you wish to start taking the pill, I will take a blood sample to determine whether the pill is suitable for you from a medical perspective. A follow-up appointment will then focus on choosing the best contraceptive method.

I only conduct gynecological examinations for girls who are no longer virgins. Otherwise, I perform an abdominal ultrasound only.


Contraceptive Options:

Hormonal Contraceptives

Birth Control Pill:

  • Combination Pills (Estrogen and Progestin): Taken with a break week, during which withdrawal bleeding occurs.
  • Mini Pill (Progestin-only): Taken continuously without a break, often resulting in no regular period but sometimes causing spotting.

For first-time prescriptions of a combination pill, I always check coagulation status through a blood test, as the pill can influence blood clotting and increase the risk of thrombosis and embolism in those with genetic predispositions.

Combination pills are not recommended for smokers or overweight women.
Side effects may include mood swings, headaches, decreased libido, nausea, spotting, and water retention.

Implanon (Hormonal Implant):
A progestin-only implant inserted under the skin on the inner side of the upper arm under local anesthesia. It releases the active ingredient continuously. Women are advised to try a progestin-only pill for three months beforehand to check for tolerance. If well-tolerated, the implant can remain in place for three years.

Contraceptive Patch:
Changed weekly, with a one-week break during which menstruation occurs.

Vaginal Ring:
Used for three weeks, followed by a ring-free week when menstruation occurs.

3-Month Injection:
A depot injection every three months.
Side effect: Reduced bone density, not suitable for young girls.

Hormonal IUD:
Placed in the uterine cavity, it releases hormones continuously for 3 or 5 years (depending on the type).

Non-Hormonal Contraceptives

Copper IUD:
This method prevents implantation by altering the uterine lining and reducing sperm motility.
Suitable for women who want to avoid artificial hormones, but it may cause heavier periods.


Pregnancy Care:

I provide at least five mother-child passport examinations as required by the program.

At every check-up, an ultrasound is performed, blood pressure is measured, and urine is tested. I also address any questions or concerns you may have.

Two blood tests and a Group B Streptococcus swab are conducted at the appropriate times.

Additionally, I recommend two external specialized screenings:

  • First-trimester screening between the 11th and 14th weeks of pregnancy.
  • Organ screening around the 20th week of pregnancy, conducted by specialized colleagues.

Menopause:

I am happy to guide you through this sometimes challenging phase of life.

The balance between estrogen and progesterone shifts, creating a “hormonal carousel.”

Whether you choose to address these changes through lifestyle adjustments, mental and physical activity, healthy eating, plant-based remedies, or hormone therapy, the goal is to ensure you enjoy an active and fulfilling second half of life.

Biography

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Vienna and Saalfelden.

After completing my medical studies in Vienna, I started my career as a junior doctor at Zell am See Hospital, where I completed my training and became a general practitioner after three years.

Fortunately, a training position in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department became available, allowing me to begin my specialist training there, which I successfully completed as a specialist physician within the minimum required time.

In 2015, alongside my role as a senior physician at the hospital, I opened this private practice.

Since 2018, I have been happily married and am the proud mother of a son.

Biography

Professional Experience:

My training in open and minimally invasive surgery was under the guidance of Austria’s most renowned urologists, allowing me to offer my patients extensive experience and a wide surgical spectrum. Additionally, I have comprehensive expertise in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, ranging from traditional hormone therapy and chemotherapy to modern therapeutic options.

Beyond my practical work, numerous study trips, and clinical observations, I have been actively involved in the national and European urological societies since the start of my training. This includes co-founding and organizing the Austrian School of Urology and the Austrian Society of Urology. Nationally and internationally, I follow medical studies, deliver lectures, and author numerous scientific articles.

Privately, I am happily married and a proud father of a daughter. When not caring for my patients’ health and recovery, I enjoy road cycling, skiing, and playing the guitar on rainy days.
