Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, Professor of Medicine

Founder of ChirurgiaPlastyczna.pl

Since childhood, I’ve been fascinated by the intersection of precision, creativity, and logic. I created my own algorithms, drew, and modeled 3D structures. I was drawn to mathematics, computer science, and art—fields that I now, to my great satisfaction, combine in one profession. Plastic surgery is much more than a career to me; it is a path I chose consciously—with passion and full commitment—where science, empathy, and aesthetics come together in genuine care for another human being.

I graduated with distinction from the Faculty of Medicine at the Medical University of Lodz, following an individual course of study from my third year. Early in my career, I trained at the Department of Endocrinology at ICZMP, then continued at the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery at the same university. From the very beginning, I knew I wanted to develop in a surgical discipline that combines precision and vision—one that not only changes appearances but enhances lives.

I had the privilege of training at some of the world’s most prestigious clinics:

– In Edinburgh, I spent several years gaining extensive clinical and academic experience at the University of Edinburgh’s Plastic Surgery Unit (ranked 2nd in Europe and 17th globally at the time), where I worked as a full-fledged member of the surgical team—taking therapeutic decisions, performing surgeries, and providing comprehensive patient care.

– In the USA, I trained in aesthetic facial and nasal surgery under a PSF (ASPS) fellowship in Dallas, Los Angeles, and Miami.

– In Belgium, I trained in advanced breast reconstruction techniques with world-renowned experts.

– In Italy and Turkey, I studied complex techniques in nasal surgery and rib graft-based reconstruction.

My clinical practice focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures involving:

– The face and neck—especially the nose, eyelids, brows, and facelift procedures,

– The breasts and chest—in both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery,

– The abdomen, hips, and body contouring—including post-weight-loss correction,

– Post-traumatic and post-surgical reconstruction.

I have developed several original surgical techniques, including:

– Autologous breast augmentation in lift and reduction procedures without implants,

– The first breast-sharing procedure in Poland,

– Ergonomic breast augmentation using advanced implant technology,

– A personal protocol for structural and hybrid rhinoplasty, including advanced rib graft reconstruction techniques,

– A refined temporal brow lift technique.

I am the author of over 60 scientific publications, including in leading journals such as Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Aesthetic Surgery Journal, Journal of PRAS, The Breast, and Annals of Plastic Surgery. My research focuses on:

– Aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery,

– The use of elastography to optimize the feel and dynamic behavior of breasts after augmentation,

– Innovative techniques in nasal, ear, and brow surgery,

– Skin cancer surgery and soft-tissue deformities.

I am a regular speaker at major international congresses, having presented at over 50 conferences worldwide. I also perform live surgery sessions, where I demonstrate innovative techniques to fellow surgeons from around the world.

I have received 22 prestigious national and international scientific awards and fellowships, including:

– 3 fellowships from the University of Edinburgh,

– 2 awards from the Polish Ministry of Health,

– A PSF ASPS Fellowship (USA),

– The Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open Award,

– Awards from the Royal Society of Medicine (UK),

– 3rd place in the “Medical Supertalents” competition,

– Finalist of the “Golden Scalpel” competition.

I serve on expert panels of international surgical societies and editorial boards of peer-reviewed medical journals.

In 2025, I was awarded the title of Professor of Medical and Health Sciences by the President of Poland, becoming the youngest professor of plastic surgery in the history of my country.

Every patient is a unique story. I don’t work with formulas—I take time to understand expectations, explain the limitations of biology and healing, and explore possible outcomes. My goal is for every decision to be informed, and for every result to be natural and lasting. Trust is paramount, which is why I remain present through every stage of care. Honest conversation, shared decision-making, and a tailored plan—these are the foundations of safe and successful transformation.

I have developed a center of excellence in plastic surgery in Gdansk under the ChirurgiaPlastyczna.pl brand. This is a place where global standards, innovation, and empathy come together with one goal: improving quality of life through personalized care.

I’m a husband and a father — the most important part of my world, my daily anchor, and the deepest source of meaning. It’s my family that teaches me mindfulness, patience, and the joy of life’s small moments. I believe that beauty is more than form — it’s harmony, emotion, and truth hidden in the details. I’m fascinated by Latin dance — full of energy and rhythm — and in literature, I’m drawn to books about travel, history, nature, groundbreaking ideas, and bold minds that change the world. Outside the operating room, I live for wind, water, and open space — my greatest marine passion is windsurfing, and when the wind takes a break, I gladly reach for my yacht and sea skipper licenses to sail across waters big and small. I love to listen, to observe with intention, and to share what truly matters.

 

I strive to become a better surgeon. And a better person.
