The Kuzbari Experience

Bespoke work, never mass production.

Where does the best possible result lie in aesthetic medicine? It is a narrow ridge between too much and too little. We want a firm neck, but not to look lifted. We want to look younger without giving up our expression. We want to look fresher, but not different. The best possible result is a pinpoint landing.

Bespoke work, never mass production

Behind a natural result lies more than surgery.

Especially in the field of face and neck lifts: years of experience, the highest degree of precision and a passion for the profession all at once. Total concentration on the moment, respect for the task and responsiveness to individual wishes. Bespoke work, never mass production — that is what we stand for.

1,800 m² dedicated to aesthetic medicine

A private clinic built entirely around face and neck lifts.

This private clinic, specialising in aesthetic medicine, offers plastic surgery at the highest international level. Assoc. Prof. Dr Rafic Kuzbari has specialised in face and neck lifts.

The infrastructure is adapted to that specialisation: nine state-of-the-art treatment rooms, three operating theatres equipped to the latest standards of medical technology and a large recovery room fitted with the most modern monitoring equipment. Patients can stay overnight in luxuriously furnished patient rooms. Every step — from the consultation through the procedure to the follow-up examination — takes place under one familiar roof.

Operating theatre at the Kuzbari Centre
Safety lies in the details

The most modern equipment. And much that is not available elsewhere.

We specialise in face and neck lifts and use the most modern equipment in the world for them. In addition, many small details ensure that your operation is as safe as possible.

During what is usually a longer operation you wear special compression stockings — they stimulate circulation in the legs and thereby reduce the risk of thrombosis.

For a beautiful result on the neck, a procedure on deeper tissue layers — fat tissue or muscles — is sometimes necessary. For this we use modern devices (Ligasure / Trisect) that seal blood and lymph vessels reliably. This markedly reduces the risk of bleeding and fluid accumulation.

The surgical team at work
High-calibre medicine paired with the ambience of a luxury hotel

Architecture by Francesco Lopez.

The Kuzbari Centre combines high-calibre medicine with the flair of a luxury hotel. On entering the clinic, the design by Italian star architect Francesco Lopez catches the eye — with his team he has furnished, among others, villas for Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino.

With the Kuzbari Centre, Lopez has created a new hotspot in Vienna that has few equals internationally. All rooms follow a harmoniously coordinated colour code — restrained greys, simple, modern, elegant. A visit to the Kuzbari Centre combines a lifestyle trip with a doctor's appointment — the feeling recalls a chic boutique hotel.

Catering from the Park Hyatt Vienna

A classic Wiener schnitzel — or sea bass in lemon thyme.

Patients staying overnight at the Kuzbari Centre also enjoy catering that sets a new benchmark for private clinics. Freshly prepared by the neighbouring Park Hyatt hotel, you may choose between king prawns from the lava stone grill or sea bass in lemon thyme.

Despite the luxury flair, prices for patients remain unchanged — made possible by better use of resources and capacity.

Aesthetic Insights Podcast

Deep plane facelift with Assoc. Prof. Dr Kuzbari.

Host Victoria Ainedter talks with Assoc. Prof. Dr Kuzbari about the deep plane facelift — a technique that is currently setting new benchmarks for natural facelift results in Hollywood, Paris and New York. What distinguishes a deep plane facelift from a classic facelift or SMAS facelift? Who is the procedure suitable for — and when do experienced surgeons deliberately advise against it?

Competence and integrity

What still stands out about the Kuzbari Centre is the people.

What is special about the Kuzbari Centre for Aesthetic Medicine is not the prime location, the modern medical facilities or the elegant design. What stands out are the people.

A carefully assembled, highly specialised team of experienced plastic surgery specialists who, under the leadership of Assoc. Prof. Dr Kuzbari, have devoted themselves heart and soul to the wellbeing and beauty of their patients. True to the principle: bespoke work, never mass production.

Your journey in six stages

The course of a facelift

From clicking the appointment button to lifelong care — six stages in which you always know what to expect and when.

  1. 01

    Booking your appointment

    24/7 online or by phone

    Every facelift begins with booking your consultation. You can arrange your appointment around the clock through our online booking system, or by phone during our opening hours Monday to Friday from 8 am to 6 pm on +43 1 358 28 77.

  2. 02

    The consultation

    60 – 90 minutes of personal conversation

    In our detailed consultation we get to know each other personally. We seek to understand your wishes, analyse the age-related changes in your face and develop an operation plan created individually for you. We explain the surgery, how it proceeds and the period afterwards — including the possible risks and all open questions.

  3. 03

    Pre-operative discussion

    final plan & all behavioural measures

    As soon as you decide to go ahead, our reception team arranges a suitable surgery date. A second appointment with Assoc. Prof. Dr Rafic Kuzbari is scheduled automatically — the pre-operative discussion. You are informed about all measures to be observed before and after the operation, and every detail is discussed once more in peace.

  4. 04

    The operation

    our own theatre, a well-rehearsed team

    We ask you to arrive punctually at the Kuzbari Centre on the day of surgery. Your surgeon will mark your face with a surgical pen while you are seated and go through the steps once more — many patients find this reassuring. During the operation your surgeon is supported by our experienced theatre team; we use state-of-the-art medical technology and high-quality instruments. Bespoke work, never mass production.

  5. 05

    The first weeks afterwards

    close support until you are presentable again

    After the operation you recover in peace on our ward — cared for around the clock by our attentive nursing team. Your meals are prepared by the neighbouring Park Hyatt Vienna. On discharge — usually after two nights — you receive valuable advice for your first days at home as well as pain medication for the first few days. We remain reachable for urgent questions.

  6. 06

    Lifelong care

    even years after the operation

    Our support does not end with the last check-up. We remain your point of contact for everything to do with your result — even years after the procedure. That is the Kuzbari Experience.

A privilege just for you

Lifelong care.

As a patient you enjoy lifelong care — a privilege that accompanies you for a lifetime. Whether for care recommendations, refresher treatments or simply to stay in touch with us — we are here for you and reserve appointments exclusively for you.
