Introduction

Prof. Dominik L. Feinendegen is an internationally trained plastic and reconstructive surgeon with extensive clinical and academic expertise. He received his education and surgical training at leading institutions in New York (Stonybrook),in Houston (MD Anderson Cancer Center), London (Mount Vernon Hospital), Brussels, Basel, Paris, Berne, and Erlangen-Nuremberg—developing a broad and diverse foundation in plastic surgery.

His view of plastic surgery as surgery of the soul is deeply inspired by Nobel laureate Dr. Joseph Murray from Boston Harvard, a pioneering plastic surgeon and close friend of his father.

Since 2021, he has held a professorship at the University of Odessa, where he is instrumental in establishing plastic surgery as a recognized specialty. A committed researcher, Prof. Feinendegen leads a key histological collaboration with the University of Basel to advance techniques in tangential incisions. His research also focuses on innovations in flap surgery and facelift procedures. He continually questions the status quo and works to develop new surgical techniques. His methods are widely published and internationally recognized.

Actively involved in professional societies, he served as National Assistant Secretary for Switzerland in the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) from 2016 to 2024 and is a founding member of the Swiss Society for Aesthetic Surgery. Dedicated to ethical standards, he is a vocal advocate for the use of cruelty-free medical products within the aesthetic community.

Outside of medicine, his greatest joy lies in the shared life with his wife, his love for their horses and dogs, his passion for nature, and the work on their family farm.

Introduction

The woman who can handle more. As the wife of Dominik Feinendegen, Sandra is the essence and driving force behind it all. Having been educated and trained at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland and having worked in international relations worldwide,  she doesn’t just manage the clinic and patient relations, as well as often assists Dominik in the theatre when needed or designs the website — she also keeps her plastic surgeon in check, runs a farm, and somehow finds time to keep two South African dogs as well as Shagya Arabian horses in line. Currently, she is on the finishing line of her PhD at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich about the history of the facelift.  Sandra is a resilient, passionate, true multitasking marvel, seamlessly shifting between the world of aesthetic perfection and the reality of farm life. Never one to shy away from hard work, Sandra is the kind of person who can steal a horse and teach it how to look fabulous in the same day.

Introduction

Your all-in-one, smile-spreading, schedule-juggling and insurance-warfaring personal assistant of Dominik Feinendegen.

Zora is the first face you see when you walk in, always ready with a smile, no matter if you’re 20 minutes late or 40 minutes early.

Zora has a sixth sense for knowing exactly how to manage the plastic surgeon’s schedule, balance the clinic’s books and deal with insurance companies like a seasoned diplomat.

And when the workday winds down? Zora is just getting started—she spends her free time curled up with her dog, walking the beautiful shores of lake Zurich.

Introduction

Meet Pia Rahm – the lead theatre nurse of Dominik Feinendegen.
Pia excels at her job. She has got a sixth sense for anticipating needs, whether it’s prepping instruments, calming nerves, or predicting the surgeon’s next move. She is the kind of person who would run through the rain just to make sure the patients feel comfortable, while somehow managing to keep a smile on her face. If there is one person who is keeping the heart of the operating room alive, it is Pia—always ahead of the game.
Despite her demanding job, Pia commutes daily from Schaffhausen and cherishes her time with her husband and son. She also pursues her passion for running.
