Thank you for your attention!
I have founded the New Contour Plastic Surgery in 1990 as one of the first private practices in our country and I am leading it even at present. I was born in 1954 in Budapest. Already at the biology-chemistry-latin faculty of my secondary school I had been performing animal operations under the guidance of Professor Dr. Nándor Lange, a former cardiac surgeon exiled to the teacher's position for political reasons. Afterwards I completed the Medical School at the University of Pécs (1972-78) with a 'cum laude' qualification. Please find my résumé below: |
