Konstantinos GASTERATOS

I am a Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon (MD, MSc, PhD) with a multidisciplinary academic background in clinical and translational research, reconstructive microsurgery, and surgical education.My research interests encompass aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, with particular emphasis on facial plastic surgery, rhinoplasty, reconstructive microsurgery, regenerative medicine, stem cell biology, extracellular vesicles, and tissue engineering.My academic work focuses on the critical evaluation and advancement of surgical techniques, evidence-based clinical practice, patient-reported outcomes, and the translation of experimental research into clinical applications. I am also actively engaged in surgical education research, particularly simulation-based training, objective assessment of technical and nontechnical skills, educational innovation, and patient safety.I am committed to advancing plastic and reconstructive surgery through rigorous clinical investigation, translational research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the integration of scientific evidence into surgical practice and education.
