Kapositas Plastic Surgery Clinic

Kapositas Plastic Surgery Clinic is a specialist aesthetic and reconstructive surgery practice located at Mavili Square in central Athens, Greece. The clinic was established by Dr. Nodas Kapositas MD PhD, a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive academic and clinical training in both Greece and internationally. Dr. Kapositas holds memberships in the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) — three of the most respected professional bodies in the field — reflecting his commitment to maintaining international standards of surgical education and practice.

Dr. Kapositas completed his medical training at the Medical School of Ioannina, Greece (1979–1985), followed by surgical training at Tinos Hospital and the KAT Accident Hospital in Athens, where he underwent both general surgery and plastic surgery training (1989–1997). He conducted laboratory-based research in microsurgery, which informs his precision approach to reconstructive and complex aesthetic procedures. He also served as a surgery assistant at Hygeia Hospital, Athens, during his formative training years.

The clinic offers a comprehensive range of cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedures in a safe, private, and professionally managed environment in central Athens. Procedures are performed with the highest standards of anesthetic safety and post-operative care, with each treatment plan individually tailored to the patient's goals, anatomy, and overall health status. The practice places particular emphasis on natural-looking results and minimizing recovery time through advanced, minimally invasive surgical techniques where appropriate.

Athens is an increasingly popular destination for medical tourism, offering European-standard cosmetic surgery at prices significantly more affordable than Western Europe and the UK. The city's international air connectivity makes it accessible for patients from the Middle East, UK, Germany, and other European countries seeking high-quality plastic surgery abroad.

Kapositas Plastic Surgery Clinic offers a complete spectrum of cosmetic, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgical procedures. Facial procedures include rhinoplasty (nose reshaping — primary and revision), blepharoplasty (upper and lower eyelid surgery), forehead and brow lifting, facelifts and mini-lifts, chin surgery (genioplasty), facial implants, otoplasty (ear reshaping and correction), and lip plasty for augmentation and definition. Injectable facial rejuvenation using botulinum toxin (Botox) and hyaluronic acid dermal fillers is also offered for non-surgical enhancement.

Body contouring procedures include liposuction (traditional and VASER-assisted) for targeted fat removal, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) for abdominal wall correction, arm lift (brachioplasty) for upper arm reshaping, and thigh lift surgery. These procedures are frequently combined for comprehensive body contouring results.

Breast procedures encompass augmentation with anatomical or round silicone implants, breast reduction mammaplasty, mastopexy (breast lift) with or without implants, and gynecomastia surgery (male breast reduction). Hair transplantation procedures using advanced FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) techniques are performed for patients experiencing androgenetic alopecia or hair thinning.

Non-surgical aesthetic treatments include chemical peeling for skin resurfacing, laser therapies for pigmentation correction, skin rejuvenation, and hair removal. Reconstructive procedures are offered for post-trauma and post-oncological patients, including scar revision and reconstructive microsurgery cases.

Kapositas Plastic Surgery Clinic operates from a dedicated private practice facility at 17 Dim. Soutsou Street, Mavili Square, in central Athens — a well-connected area with easy access from the city centre and major hotels. The clinic provides a private and discreet environment that is particularly valued by patients seeking confidential aesthetic consultations and treatments.

For surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia or complex operative environments, the clinic coordinates with accredited private hospitals in Athens — including institutions where Dr. Kapositas trained and maintains professional affiliations — ensuring that all surgical interventions are performed with full hospital infrastructure, qualified anesthesiologists, and appropriate nursing support available. This approach combines the personalized attention of a dedicated aesthetic clinic with the safety infrastructure of established hospital facilities.

The clinic team comprises six professionals in total, including the surgeon, surgical assistants, and an administration and patient coordination specialist. This small, dedicated team structure ensures each patient receives consistent, personalized attention throughout the entire care journey, from initial consultation and pre-operative assessment through surgical procedure and post-operative review appointments.

Pre-operative assessments and standard laboratory investigations are coordinated prior to any surgical procedure. Post-operative care includes wound care guidance, compression garment protocols where applicable, and scheduled follow-up consultations to monitor healing and optimize outcomes.

Kapositas Plastic Surgery Clinic has experience treating international patients seeking cosmetic and reconstructive surgery in Athens. Greece has become a recognized destination for cosmetic surgery tourism, particularly for patients from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, and the Middle East who seek European-trained, internationally accredited surgeons at more competitive pricing compared to their home countries.

Dr. Kapositas and the clinic team are fluent in English and German in addition to Greek, enabling clear and comfortable communication with international patients throughout the consultation, treatment, and recovery process. The clinic's marketing director, George Kapositas, manages international patient enquiries across the UK, Europe, and the USA, providing a dedicated point of contact for prospective patients.

Initial consultations for international patients can be conducted remotely via video call, allowing patients to discuss their concerns, share photographs for assessment, and receive preliminary treatment recommendations and cost estimates before committing to travel. The clinic assists international patients with appointment scheduling and can recommend nearby accommodation in central Athens suited to the post-operative recovery period.

Athens International Airport (Eleftherios Venizelos) offers direct year-round flights from across Europe, the UK, and the Middle East. The central Mavili Square location is easily accessible from hotels in the Athens city centre by taxi or metro. Post-operative care instructions are provided in writing, and the clinic maintains communication with patients following their return home via telephone and email.

Dr. Nodas Kapositas holds active memberships in three internationally recognized plastic surgery professional bodies, which represent the highest standards of training, ethics, and patient safety in the specialty. He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the world's largest organization of board-certified plastic surgeons, which requires members to meet rigorous training requirements and ethical standards. He also holds active membership in the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) as an active international member — one of the most prestigious designations in cosmetic surgery, recognizing surgeons who meet exceptional standards in aesthetic plastic surgery practice.

Additionally, Dr. Kapositas is a member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), the world's leading international organization dedicated to advancing aesthetic plastic surgery globally. ISAPS membership requires demonstrated clinical competency and adherence to established international standards of care and ethics.
