The BEAULI™ Academy is the training programme of Park-Klinik Birkenwerder for plastic surgeons. For more than 22 years we have been teaching colleagues from around the world WAL liposuction and the BEAULI™ method of autologous fat transfer – with direct insight into the operating theatre rather than purely theoretical knowledge transfer.
The one-day format combines half a day of live surgery with half a day of focused lectures and case discussions. Participation is limited to a maximum of eight people so that intensive professional exchange remains possible.
You will find dates, programme and registration on the Academy website (in English).
