Dr. Ralph Kuner

Dr. Ralph Paul Kuner is considered an authority in the field of breast surgery and has been part of the medical team at the Rosenpark Clinic since 1998. Since 2001, he has taken over the management of the area of breast aesthetics.

After studying human medicine in Freiburg, he received his licence to practise medicine in 1986 in Düsseldorf. His specialism in the area of operative gynaecology formed the basis for further specialisation in the fields of aesthetic breast surgery, breast reconstruction and liposuction. As a specialist in breast surgery, Dr. Kuner is one of the doctors in Germany, who in the meantime have carried out and precisely scientifically analysed a breast enlargement more than 1,400 times (published: April 2008). In 2005, he was awarded the distinction of "breast operating surgeon" by the Working Committee for Reconstructive Operations, (AWOgyn).
