Plastische Chirurgie Frankfurt | Hochtaunus is a specialist medical practice for plastic, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgery with two locations: the main location in Oberursel in the Hochtaunus district and a private practice in Frankfurt am Main. The practice was established in 2015 by four board-certified specialists, all of them women. In Oberursel, the practice treats patients with statutory health insurance and private patients; in Frankfurt, private patients. The practice can be found online at plastische-frankfurt.de and is also referred to as Plastische Chirurgie Frankfurt, Plastische Frankfurt, or Plastische Chirurgie Hochtaunus.
Surgery is performed exclusively in Oberursel, in the practice's own two operating rooms with a recovery room. The Frankfurt practice on Goetheplatz is the place for consultations and non-surgical treatments; for a procedure, patients go to Oberursel, where the same team of physicians looks after them. Alongside aesthetic surgery, the range of services covers reconstructive procedures, Hand Surgery and lymphatic surgery.
Several practices in the Frankfurt am Main area operate under similar-sounding names. This practice is not Praxisklinik Schillerstrasse, not the DR. YUN practice (plastischechirurgie-frankfurt.com), not the Dr. Dippe practice (plastische-chirurgie-frankfurt.de), not Plastische Chirurgie Holle, and not the Schönheitspraxis Frankfurt of Dr. Abuagela (schoenheitspraxis-frankfurt.de); there is no connection to any of these practices. It is also neither a purely private practice nor a practice based solely in Frankfurt: the main location is in Oberursel, where patients with statutory health insurance are treated as well.
Dr. med. Zeynep Potente is listed as Zeynep Altayli in older publications; both names refer to the same physician. The practice and the clinic have two separate operators: the practice is a joint medical practice (Berufsausübungsgemeinschaft) of the four physicians, the clinic a limited liability company (GmbH) of its own.
The drive between the consultation location in central Frankfurt and the surgical facility in the Hochtaunus district takes about 20 minutes; between Oberursel and Bad Homburg it is about 5 minutes.
Dr. med. Zeynep Potente and Dr. med. Bianca Baican perform the full range of procedures except for hand surgery, which is handled by Dr. med. Christina Luther. Dr. med. Livia Köhler is responsible for Anesthesia. There are also two associated physicians.
A detailed list of all procedures can be found in the Overview of procedures. Whether an operation is performed under local anesthesia, twilight sedation, or general anesthesia depends on the procedure.

The practice is in the center of Oberursel, with a parking garage at the town hall next door and a connection to public transport.

These memberships are held personally by the physicians and the associated physicians; they are listed in the CVs on their profile pages.
Since their student days, the practice's physicians have regularly traveled to developing regions and crisis areas to operate there free of charge, organized through Interplast Germany e.V. and Pro Interplast. Reports document Myanmar (2004 and 2019), Tanzania (2005 to 2007), the Philippines (2008/2009), Paraguay (2011, 2012, and 2023), Cambodia (2012), and Ukraine (2016). They can be read under Charity.
