Short interview with Dr. med. Adina Villiger

What fascinates you about your work as a surgeon?

It's a very direct profession – you plan something carefully, implement it and see how it works. I like this mixture of technical precision and visible results.

What made you decide to specialize in breast surgery?

Breast surgery is a combination of medicine, aesthetics and personal perception. I am particularly interested in how individual the solutions can be, whether reconstructive or aesthetic.

What experience do you have and what techniques or approaches are part of your work?

I have worked at various public hospitals and have seen and performed a wide range of breast operations there. Precise planning, natural shaping and the aim of operating as gently as possible on the tissue are important to me.

What do you make sure that your patients feel well looked after and advised by you?

I take the time to listen to my patients to understand their wishes and concerns. A trusting atmosphere and honest, transparent advice are central to me.

In your opinion, what are the biggest challenges and at the same time the greatest opportunities in modern breast surgery?

One challenge is certainly the flood of information that many patients are confronted with. At the same time, it is an opportunity to provide guidance in a personal consultation and to make individual, well-informed decisions together.

Is there an aspect of your work that often surprises patients?

Many patients are amazed at how diverse the options are. There is no fixed procedure, breast surgery is always individual.

What are you most looking forward to in your work at the Breast Atelier?

I am looking forward to working with the team, to the specialized environment and to caring for patients in a personal setting.

What advice would you give patients who are considering breast surgery?

Take your time to make your decision and get good advice. Trust is the basis for a good result.

How do you like to spend your free time?

I enjoy being outdoors in nature. Otherwise, I enjoy good food, spending time with friends and my family and quiet moments with a (hi)book.

What «closing words» would you like to end this short interview with?

Every patient brings her own story with her – I look forward to getting to know you, accompanying you individually and finding the right path for you together
