Our Surgical Practice

Meet our Staff

Dr Papanastasiou is of the belief that, as a surgeon, to be able to produce good results is easy. However, to be able to produce consistently excellent results, one needs not only the necessary skills and knowledge but, as well, one needs to be surrounded by excellent staff.

He considers himself extremely fortunate to have staff, which is not only skilled, friendly and knowledgeable but, most importantly, completely dedicated to helping him achieve the ultimate result for you.

He regularly has his staff attend training seminars and also attend international conferences in order that they keep abreast of all the latest developments in the world of plastic surgery. This is one method by which he maintains a high level of competence within his practice.
