Overnight stay—a given for us, and peace of mind for you

At Victoriakliniken, at least one overnight stay is always included after breast surgery and other major procedures. This allows us to closely monitor our patients, ensuring everything is in perfect order before they go home. Unlike many others, we never operate on a “conveyor belt” model; instead, we prioritize quality over quantity in every aspect of our care.

To maintain the highest possible safety standards, our surgical team operates only every other week at Victoriakliniken. We never conduct two surgeries at the same time, and there are always at least two specialized plastic surgeons on-site, consulting with each other whenever needed.

“It’s unbelievable that allowing patients to stay overnight after a major procedure isn’t standard practice at all clinics.”
— Dr. Jessica Gahm

Medical expertise at every step

Every link in the chain is essential—from the coordinator overseeing the entire process, to the anesthesiologist who watches over you during surgery, and the night nurse who ensures your comfort and safety afterward. Every member of the Victoriakliniken team is fully licensed, forming a close-knit, dedicated, and highly experienced team.

Always by your side

Our deep commitment to each patient doesn’t end after surgery. On the contrary, we continue to support our patients long after, for both their benefit and ours. The thorough follow-up of every patient is as much about providing reassurance and ensuring a good result as it is about documenting and reviewing outcomes to continuously refine and improve our methods — something we’ve been doing for over two decades

We also understand how important it is for patients to maintain close contact with their surgeon after returning home, especially in the immediate post-operative period. We offer direct access to both nurses and surgeons following surgery, along with regular follow-up appointments and the best post-operative care available. Our patients are welcome to as many follow-up visits as they need or wish after surgery, at no additional cost.

Natural results that enhance your quality of life

Victoriakliniken’s aesthetic signature is natural beauty. We are dedicated to achieving safe, harmonious, and lasting results. Working with proportion means carefully considering each patient’s unique biological characteristics by measuring, analyzing, and thoroughly examining the patient’s skin and tissue in detail.

The safest surgery is the one that isn’t performed. If we determine that a patient is not suitable for surgery, whether for physical or psychological reasons, we will say so. Operating for the right reasons, on the right indications, and having the ability to say no are among the most important qualities of a responsible surgeon.

What should you consider when choosing a surgeon or clinic?

First and foremost, you should consider what you want to do and – why. Are you undergoing the procedure for your own sake? Are you completely sure that you truly want to go through with it? Surgery always carries some risk, regardless of how skilled the surgeons are or how healthy the patient is.
Therefore, it is important to think through your decision carefully. If you have come this far, meaning you are reading this text, you have probably already made considerable progress in your thought process, but it never hurts to reconsider your decision further. Once you have decided to proceed with a procedure, there are many different aspects to consider when choosing a clinic.

Below is a list of things that we believe are important to investigate and consider:

  • First and foremost: Does the surgeon and the rest of the medical staff have the right qualifications? Are they all licensed and specialized in plastic surgery, to begin with? But most importantly: How much experience does the surgeon have, and how many surgeries have they performed related to the procedure you desire? Can the surgeon show before-and-after pictures with long-term follow-up?
  • What guarantees and follow-up care does the clinic offer?
  • Does the clinic have a good reputation? Google reviews, check Reco, look at before-and-after pictures, and ask around in your network. You can also contact the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen) to find out if there are any complaints or reports against a clinic/plastic surgeon.
  • Make sure you are well-informed about the risks and complications. A reputable clinic will carefully inform you about these and will often present such information on their website as well.
  • What does the aftercare look like? Will you stay overnight? Can you have direct contact with your plastic surgeon after returning home? A good clinic experiences few complications and therefore has no problem offering free corrections and long, extensive follow-up care for you as a patient. In other words, this can be a good indicator of the clinic’s quality.
  • Also, carefully consider your wishes and expectations for the result. Similarly, think about the entire process – from the initial consultation to aftercare and follow-up.
