Surgery, education and research activity are indispensable in achieving excellence in the field of plastic surgery. Every plastic surgeon should be driven by curiosity, creativity and eagerness to grow as a physician and to develop their discipline of medicine, which is positively reflected in the results of treatment of patients ultimately. Therefore, in addition to developing myself as a surgeon, I extensively pursue scientific and educational activities. The areas of my scientific interest include, inter alia:
modern technologies supporting complex reconstruction surgeries
methods of objectivation of evaluation of aesthetic surgery results
regenerative medicine
nerve repair and diagnostics of compression neuropathy
optimisation of the autologous fat tissue grafting technique.
INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION
TThe measure of success of each researcher and scientist is their reputation in the international arena. The fact that my achievements are highly regarded is shown by numerous scientific reports published in the most prestigious of journals on plastic and maxillofacial surgery, surgical oncology and more. I am one of the leading Polish plastic surgeons in terms of the possessed summed-up Impact Factor, proving the world renown of the journals publishing the papers I participated in preparation of. These include, for instance: Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Aesthetic Surgery Journal and Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery.
Due to acknowledgement of my accomplishments and knowledge, I was honoured with the function of a reviewer of the Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, one of the top international specialistic journals dealing with oncological, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery of the maxillofacial region.
