YEREVAN. – Professor of Evangelic Hospital of Vienna Kurt Vinzenz is trying to bridge reconstructive and aesthetic surgery of the face.

Professor Vinzenz is one of the participants of Armenia-hosted international congress of plastic reconstructive and aesthetic surgeons which kicked off on Thursday.

Talking to the Armenian News-NEWS.am correspondent, Professor Vinzenz noted that restorative surgery is a new branch. This kind of surgery implies restoration of form and functions of the body simultaneously with the appearance. He underscored that the two third of those applying for restorative surgery are female patients.

The oldest patient of Mr. Vinzenz was 82 years old, and she was diagnosed with aging face syndrome. The surgery gave good results, he said, adding that it is a topic of his report that he is going to present during the congress.

Armenia is hosting the international congress of plastic reconstructive and aesthetic surgery on October 24-26. The congress brought together surgeons from Georgia, Russia, U.S., Germany, Austria, South Korea, Turkey and other states.
