Description

One of the best of his generation, Dr. Christophe Zirak has had a unique personal and professional experience. After his high school studies at the Lycée Janson de Sailly in Paris, he moved to the flat country in order to perpetuate the family tradition by becoming a Doctor. He obtained with honor the title of Doctor of Medicine in 2002 and the title of Specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery in 2008 with good distinction. He worked at the Brugmann University Hospital until the beginning of 2015 as Assistant Head of Clinic. He was in charge of aesthetic surgery and medicine, reconstructive surgery and microsurgery, post-bariatric surgery (post-obesity) and hand surgery. During this period, he carried out numerous studies that have resulted in international publications. He organized the Brussels Microsurgery Course, seminars and workshops, as well as the BRA Days (Breast Reconstructive Awareness Days). His taste for teaching led him logically to accept to be a lecturer at the Inter-University Diploma of Chronic Wound Care and at the Francisco Ferrer High School as well as for the Nurses in Aesthetic Care. Afterwards, he was representative of Belgium and examiner at the European Board Of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (2012-2014) of which he is also a member. Finally, since 2015, he is Head of the Department of Plastic Surgery at the Molière-Longchamp Hospital. He also consults and operates at the Delta Hospital (CHIREC). On a personal level, bathed in two secular cultures and coming from a family of doctors and academics, Dr. Zirak has developed an impressive capacity to listen. His great, almost feminine sensitivity and his academic rigor allow him to understand the needs of his patients and to respond to them in the best possible way. Moreover, her ability to use her expertise in the fields of medicine, cosmetic surgery and reconstructive surgery allows her to propose various therapeutic options. These options are best adapted to each type of patient, with the goal of enhancing their beauty and obtaining or restoring harmony to their body.
