Our philosophy
Plastic surgery has often been the subject of discussions and opinions. A lot of it is about prejudice, which - like all other prejudices - is due to ignorance or fear of the unknown.
We believe that
The outside is important to the inside
We don’t care about prejudice because we know aesthetic plastic surgery will change people's lives in a positive way. And not just on the surface. External intervention often affects the inside at just as much, if not more.
Citadellkliniken is here for people who for some reason are not happy with their exterior. Many feel handicapped, having to constantly try to hide or cover up some part of themselves. It can be very limiting in your everyday life, not least in your social life.
We see proof every day that successful plastic surgery can help people to feel better. If you have any imperfections or something about yourself that you don’t like, it often goes hand in hand with poor self-confidence, insecurity or maybe a fear of being seen naked. So often we meet a whole new person on their return visit three months later! A better self-image and an ability to focus on completely different things in life are bonuses that often contribute to far greater well-being than just the visible result of an operation.
That’s why we perform aesthetic plastic surgery. Because the outside is important to the inside. People who choose Citadellkliniken can look forward to a safe and enjoyable stay that is often a positive starting point towards better self-esteem.
We take care of you all the way
It’s as important to have a harmonious inside as it is to be satisfied with the outside. We’re interested in your overall well-being.
Therefore, first we sit down and talk to you and get to know you, before we do anything at all. An individual assessment is about listening and understanding, explaining and recommending. You are treated as an individual and you’ll meet the same doctor from the first consultation until the last. With us you’re not anonymous. We know who you are, we know your history and are well aware of your hopes and expectations.
It’s a security both for us and for you.
As the development progresses, the operations become more gentle and the anaesthetics less demanding. This also means that the recovery period is shorter than before. This is why most patients are sent home as soon as possible from public health care facilities. But with us, you are welcome to stay overnight.
We have plenty of beds and we therefore recommend a whole day with us because we know that it can feel safer to not have to go home when you’re still tired after anaesthesia. Maybe you’re wondering about something afterwards that we can clear up for you right away. At Citadellkliniken, our professional staff have time for you, day and night. They can give you a painkiller, answer questions, give you something nice to eat or just sit and talk by your bedside for a while. And the next day you go home calm, rested and well informed.
After one to two weeks, we see you again on the first visit after your surgery. Then we check how your healing is going and how your dressings are looking. Any stitches are removed. The final checkup takes place after about three months, when we look at the result and document it with photographs.
We care
Make sure you consult a serious clinic
Once you’ve decided to have plastic surgery, it’s important to choose a reputable doctor and a clinic with good reputation.
Feel free to ask yourself some questions to check things before making your choice!
1. The clinic has to feel like they are serious about what they do. For example, there should be proper hospital beds so that you don’t have to go home the same day after a major operation. 2. It’s important to check that the doctor you choose is trained in plastic surgery.
3. Check and ask for membership of the Swedish Plastic Surgery Association and the Swedish Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
4. Please consult with at least two plastic surgeons for comparison. It’s good if your doctor can recommend another surgeon for your second consultation.
5. The doctor you choose should work full time with aesthetic plastic surgery and should be available for you whenever you need them, even after surgery. Personal chemistry is important - it should feel right when you meet your doctor. You should also have the right to choose and influence the operation yourself to some extent.
