Associate Professor Farid Rezaeian MD
Swiss & European Board-Certified Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgeon
Renowned Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery Specialist and Beauty Expert
Associated Professor Farid Rezaeian, MD, is one of the most renowned plastic surgeons and anti-aging experts. After his studies in human medicine, he conducted research in the field of tissue perfusion and regenerative medicine as a selected fellow of the prestigious Swiss National Science Foundation at the Medical University of Geneva. In doing so, he was awarded more than 10 national and international scientific prizes in the following years. He was invited as a guest speaker not only in Europe, but also in the USA and South Africa. This laid the foundation of his further career in the field of plastic and aesthetic surgery, with the goal of always offering the most modern and scientifically based surgical techniques and anti-aging treatment methods to his patients.
Early in his career, he was privileged to perform numerous aesthetic surgeries in addition to routine reconstructive surgeries. After his clinical training in the field of plastic surgery in the most renowned hospitals (Klinikum rechts Isar Munich, Marienhospital Stuttgart and University Hospital Zurich), he decided to become a partner in the Clinic Utoquai (Dr. Christophe Christ and Dr. Enrique Steiger), one of the world’s most renowned centers for plastic and aesthetic surgery, after working for several years as a senior physician at the University Hospital Zurich and receiving the Venia legendi.
In addition to facial surgery, he is passionate about aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery, which he has been offering for years at Clinic Utoquai, as the core surgeon of the Lake Zurich Breast Center, and now also at BRST.
BRST stands for modern and up-to-date diagnostics and treatment of the female breast. Especially in the field of breast implant surgery, the focus is on health and safe surgical procedures. Farid Rezaeian, in his long search for an ideal treatment procedure for implant-based breast surgery, has found it with Mia Femtech (minimally invasive augmentation) from Establishment Labs. He is one of the first surgeons in the world to be allowed to offer this new method of breast augmentation and breast shaping at BRST.
“Although I have been in the field of breast surgery for more than 16 years already, I see this procedure as having huge potential to revolutionize the world of breast augmentation. The safe and extremely gentle way of breast augmentation based on FemTech science have completely convinced me. Natural results and the avoidance of complications are in the focus”.
