Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon 
Dr. Darius Bagdanavičius

       "My passion for aesthetic surgery encouraged me to continue my studies and become a doctor of plastic surgery and reconstructive surgery. In pursuit of professional development, acquisition of new knowledge and skills, I constantly take part and share my experience in various international seminars and conferences in the most famous plastic and aesthetic surgery clinics in Lithuania and Europe. I put all the experience and knowledge I have accumulated to help patients achieve the desired changes. The best result of my work is the rediscovery of the beauty of human and the rebirth of confidence in the soul. The understanding of beauty and aesthetics, and the desire to help, understand and listen to people is an integral part of my life. Plastic surgery plays an important role in my life, because it is not just a job, it is my way of life."
