Caroline Szpalski MD PhD FACS

Summary

• As a female plastic surgeon in a highly specialized field, Dr Szpalski offers an empathetic and nuanced perspective that her patients deeply value. With a diverse range of experiences spanning from Africa to Europe, she introduces a rare multicultural depth to her practice, especially as an ethnic plastic surgeon. As a former model, her perceptions of beauty have been sculpted by an intimate, two-decade-long glimpse into the fashion world, offering invaluable insights to her patients.

This was complemented by rigorous training at the esteemed ULB Plastic Surgery Residency, the origin of the innovative vertical breast lift. Dr. Szpalski further refined her skills at the globally-renowned UT MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, diving deep into microsurgey’s nuances alongside the globe's leading plastic surgeons. Her expansive international training equips her with a distinct advantage: the recognition that every patient is unique.

Her guiding principle, "less is more," mirrored by her stint in fashion, allows her to harmoniously merge understatement with transformation, bestowing upon her patients a sense of timeless elegance.
