Philosophy
Plastic and aesthetic surgery is a field largely based on mutual trust between the patient and the doctor. Satisfaction with the result can be achieved only with predetermined realistic expectations of both sides. In a partnership dialogue with the client, I always try to achieve the most natural and functional result of the operation, taking into account the client's wishes and possibilities with respect to the situation and the health of the patient.

Personal interests
MUDr. Radek Lhotský is interested in translation of medical and pharmaceutical texts from and into English.
He enjoys spending time with his family and his big hobby is music, especially playing the saxophone and piano. That is why he allows its patients to choose their own music to make their stay in the operating room more pleasant, which will allow them to relax during the operation.
