After tumour operations or accidents, patients with extensive defects in the facial area are severely restricted in their everyday life and quality of life. Plastic reconstruction is not immediately possible in all cases.
With so-called "epitheses", which are "artificial body parts" made of silicone, the face can be rehabilitated very well both aesthetically and functionally.
In our specialised consultation hour, patients are individually cared for together with an epithetics specialist and treated over the course of a few weeks.

Further assistance and information on epithesis treatment can be found on the homepage of the self-help group TULPE e.V.
