Trained as an ophthalmologist, then in aesthetic medicine.
University of Belgrade, Faculty of Medicine; ophthalmology residency; twelve years of clinical practice — which is where the habit of reading structure before surface comes from.
It started at the eye.
The eye is an unforgiving organ — a fraction of a millimetre decides how it looks and how it works. Operating around it as an oculoplastic surgeon, I was always weighing the aesthetic result against the function. That is where aesthetic medicine began for me: the realisation that the smallest, most precise change can remake a face — and that the aim is always a natural look, never an obvious one.
I only use what I've tested myself.
The aesthetic work came later — formal training in laser medicine, injectables, and energy-based devices, and international KOL work with the manufacturers whose platforms I use.
In 2026 I finished a master's in longevity medicine and healthy aging — the lens that makes me think in decades, not single appointments. I don't trust a machine until I've trained on it, or recommend a protocol until I've treated myself or a colleague with it.
I treat what I see.
What looks like a line is often volume lost. A spot can be vascular; a mole can be cancer. I read the face in structure, not just surface — and I treat what I read, not always what was asked for. When a patient tells me to 'do anything', that is exactly when I hold back the most.
Where I stop.
I stopped doing thread lifts — too much bleeding, and energy-based devices have replaced them for most faces. Anything uncertain goes to a dermatology colleague before I touch it. Past a certain age, biology and gravity win — I cannot fight them with a needle or a laser. I will tell you so, and send you to a plastic surgeon I trust for a facelift.
Three layers at once, not three visits.
A session in my practice often combines three or more modalities at once — lasers, microneedling, and injectables — each working on a different layer of the same problem. Most practices separate them across visits; I treat them as a single intervention. The boldness is in how the techniques are layered; the safety margin does not move.
Fresh — and no one can tell.
The compliment I want for my patients is that they look fresh and rested — younger, even — while almost no one can tell a treatment was done. That is exactly the goal: a result that reads as you, not as work.
Some treatments are the exception — CO₂ laser, RF microneedling — and will always show the next day. That is expected, not a setback; the downtime is part of the deal, and I tell you before we start.
Not à la carte.
Every treatment begins with a proper consultation, even if you already know what you want. I tell you what I see your face needs, confirm it is what you want, and plan it to your budget. If you are in a hurry or looking for cosmetic fast food, I am the wrong doctor and I will say so.
The days are full.
I am not in clinic every day — only part of the month in Belgrade, the rest abroad. On a busy day I see around thirty patients, with a waiting list that runs weeks long.
I won't rush you.
If I am mid-consultation when your slot begins, I will not cut that consultation short — which sometimes means you wait. I would rather you wait than I shortchange whoever is in the chair. Everyone waits the same, and everyone gets the same hour.
The same care, whoever you are.
Your bank balance and your name change nothing here. The same chair, the same hour, the same attention — every time. Money has never been the point: plenty of people arrive ready to pay and leave without a treatment. If you do not need one, the size of your budget does not change my answer.
Some work is beyond the bill.
Children — vascular marks, scars, conditions that started early — I usually treat without charge. Other work exists to repair harm done elsewhere; for that I charge at cost — materials only, not my time. If you wonder whether either applies to you, ask at consultation, not through a form.
