  Dr. Kelly Vasileiadou graduated from the prestigious Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece and was recognised throughout her academic career for outstanding achievements and excellence. Early on, she chose surgery as her professional path and began her training at leading university and private medical centres in Greece, where she gained extensive experience in general, visceral and breast surgery.

  Alongside her clinical work, she became deeply involved in scientific research. As a research associate in breast surgery, she was actively engaged in both the education of medical students and clinical research. Her scientific work culminated in a six-year PhD programme in breast surgery and breast cancer research. The resulting publications were internationally published and widely cited. To this day, she remains the author of numerous scientific publications and a regular speaker at national and international medical conferences. A defining chapter of her career was her work in breast cancer surgery. It was there that she realised modern surgery extends far beyond treating disease. The ability to restore femininity, identity and self-confidence after breast cancer awakened her passion for reconstructive plastic surgery and ultimately laid the foundation for her later focus on aesthetic surgery.

  Her surgical training later brought her to Switzerland, where she completed advanced training at the University Hospital Basel in Plastic Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Paediatric Surgery, Emergency Surgery and General Surgery before obtaining her Swiss Board Certification (FMH) in Surgery.

  In the years that followed, she specialised extensively in aesthetic medicine and surgery. Through international fellowships, anatomical masterclasses and advanced training with leading experts worldwide, she developed exceptional expertise in treating patients from diverse cultural, ethnic and anatomical backgrounds. This international experience enables her to understand different beauty ideals and tailor treatments to the individual characteristics, anatomy and expectations of each patient.

  Today, Dr. Kelly continues to expand her expertise through international congresses, scientific collaborations with leading companies in aesthetic medicine and her work as a speaker and opinion leader within the industry. Her commitment is to identify emerging scientific innovations early and integrate them responsibly into modern treatment concepts.

  As Founder and CEO of the Dr. Kelly® Group, Dr. Kelly Vasileiadou has created a modern platform for aesthetic medicine that brings together plastic surgery, aesthetic medicine, regenerative therapies, skin longevity and medical aesthetics at the highest level. Together with an international team of specialists, she treats patients from Switzerland and around the world in an environment defined by medical excellence, innovation and highly personalised care.

  Today, the Dr. Kelly® Group is regarded as one of the leading destinations for patients seeking exceptional medical quality, natural results and an outstanding patient experience. Throughout this journey, Dr. Kelly Vasileiadou has remained true to her conviction: the future of aesthetics lies not in more treatments, but in better medicine.

  Because the most beautiful results are those that preserve a person’s individuality.
