Dr. Alexander Vigen is interested in finding solutions that cross over between plastic surgery and cosmetic medicine and how to combine different types of surgical and non-surgical procedures for the best possible results for patients. Some patients want one and others the other, and it is important to have a high level of expertise in both fields to find the best solution for each individual. In some cases, he will recommend non-surgical methods, laser treatments and so-called minimally invasive procedures and combine these to achieve the best results, while in others, surgery will be the best solution.
