With the saying "Dream Buzzers for 2.999 Euro" and the possibility of an installment a Würzburg medical service had promoted the plastic surgery. An evangelical hospital has then terminated the cooperation with the service. The advertising does not fit the "style" of the house.


Nearly 3000 euros for the dream buffets
"Dream Buzzers for 2,999 €, -", "or for a comfortable 74, - € a month": So had the "German Doctors Service GmbH" based in Würzburg, Bavaria, a cosmetic surgery advertised. The bargain offer, she has now tasted the cooperation with the Protestant hospital Mittelhessen in Giessen. The clinic ended the cooperation after the ad was placed on a local ad. The manager of the hospital, Tim Allendörfer, said, according to a message from the press service "epd", the advertising for the breast surgery was "offended".

Fit such operations to a Christian clinic?
"That does not correspond to the style of our house, we dissociate ourselves from it." The announcement with the possibility of a installment payment appeared only once. Allendörfer had confirmed a report on the Internet portal "hr-online". The cooperation with the medical service, which mediates patients to reputable hospitals and practices, has existed since October 2014. According to his own information, the manager was not informed about the ad. As Allendörfer explained, cosmetic surgery at the Evangelisches Krankenhaus Mittelhessen was only a small part of it. In principle, the question arises whether one should offer such operations as a Christian hospital. "We do it." It has been found that there are patients who suffer greatly from a certain physical appearance and who have a "high level of suffering".

Patients can be operated abroad
In addition, the managing director reported: "Many patients go abroad" and were operated there under sometimes difficult hygienic conditions. Therefore, sometimes re-operations in Germany are necessary to make up for the damage. A total of three doctors are working at the Department of Plastic, Aesthetic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgery at the Protestant Hospital of Central Hesse. "They are free in their decision". According to the information, they had already rejected patients.

More and more cosmetic surgery in Germany
The trend towards more cosmetic surgery in Germany is unbroken. According to a nationwide patient survey conducted by the German Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (DGÄPC) last year, breast augmentations were the most frequently requested procedure. The children's barometer published by the Bausparkasse LBS in the fall of 2013 showed that even many children want a beauty surgery. At that time, 10,000 children aged between nine and 14 years had been questioned nationwide. Thus, even some girls toyed with the idea of ​​breast surgery before the bosom had even developed. Experts from the Deutscher Kinderschutzbund stated that they are watching the development with great concern. (Ad)
