Hi Sofie
es gibt leider nur sehr wenige Plastische Chirurgen, die das selbst anbieten bzw. einen Anästhesisten dazu beschäftigen. So weit ich weiss gibt es in ganz Deutschland nur ein paar Hundert Ärzte aus allen Fachbereichen, die Hypnose während einer OP einsetzen können. Da ich nur eine Klinik (google mal nach Schlossklinik) kenne, die Hypnose in der Plastischen Chirurgie anbietet gehe ich mal davon aus, das mein Post genehmigt wird :).
