Dr Ali Saalabian
An authority in body contouring across Europe

Hundreds of procedures a year — body contouring exclusively.

Across Europe Dr Saalabian is regarded as one of the leading authorities in body contouring. He carries out hundreds of operations a year exclusively in this field. He is therefore one of the most sought-after international speakers at medical congresses and trains surgeons worldwide in his own academy in liposuction and body contouring.

For many years Dr Saalabian has been honoured annually by DocFinder, Doctify and Kurier as one of the most popular plastic surgeons in Austria.

The philosophy behind the result

The language of the body

Dr Ali Saalabian sets out his philosophy of body contouring: not changing as much as possible, but recognising what is already harmonious — and bringing out that potential in a targeted way.

Every line comes about long before the procedure — through careful planning, experience and a trained eye for aesthetics. He shows how light, shadow and proportions are used to achieve natural, balanced and lastingly convincing results. A look behind the scenes at the Kuzbari Centre — the principle: balance rather than exaggeration.

A focus on body contouring

A specialist — not a generalist.

Imagine you have the choice. Would you rather be treated by someone who does a bit of everything — a little liposuction, a little breast surgery and the occasional eyelid procedure? Or by a specialist who concentrates with full passion and precision on a single area of aesthetic surgery?

Dr Ali Saalabian is exactly that specialist. He devotes himself exclusively to body contouring and has not only developed exceptional expertise in this field but has also set standards that are recognised far beyond Austria's borders.
