Dr. med. · Plastic surgeon

Alfons Erdmann’s practice, Plastische Chirurgie im Eduardus, is located in Cologne. The official practice legal notice documents specialist qualifications in both general surgery and plastic and aesthetic surgery, together with an additional designation in hand surgery. This combination provides a basis for discussing aesthetic goals alongside function, previous injury or other surgical concerns during an individual assessment. Official profile ↗

The published clinical scope includes plastic and aesthetic surgery, with additional hand-surgery expertise. Ask which options fit your diagnosis or aesthetic concern, how the expected benefit compares with the risks, and who will manage recovery and follow-up. Practice information ↗

The published address is Custodisstraße 3–17 in Cologne, Germany. This is a local consultation option for Cologne readers. Confirm the clinician and appointment location directly, and ask whether your operation and follow-up visits would take place at this address or another facility. Current availability and referral requirements must be checked with the provider. Published contact details ↗

02 / Before you book

Start with the essentials.

Four conversations to have before choosing a date.

02

Understand the proposal.

Ask about expected changes, alternatives, limitations and risks that matter to you. Discuss your health history and medicines with the treating clinician.

Questions before a procedure ↗
03

Confirm the setting.

Ask where treatment takes place, who provides anesthesia and what arrangements cover complications. A consultation office may be separate from the surgical facility.

ISAPS patient resources ↗
04

Plan the follow-up.

Ask for written aftercare, scheduled reviews and a contact for urgent concerns. Discuss travel plans and practical support before paying a deposit.

Contact the practice ↗

03 / Consultation conversations

Explore the questions.

These discussion prompts are not a procedure catalogue or a determination of individual suitability.

01

Your priorities

Explain the concern in your own words and ask which changes are realistic for your anatomy and circumstances.

Ask your clinician

What could treatment change, and what may remain unchanged?

02

Available approaches

Ask which surgical or nonsurgical approaches the practice offers for your concern. An individual assessment should guide the comparison.

Ask your clinician

What alternatives are appropriate, including choosing no procedure?

03

Expected limitations

Discuss scars, symmetry and uncertainty. A photograph can explain a preference but cannot promise a result.

Ask your clinician

What limitations and important risks should I understand?

04

The treating team

Clarify who performs each part of the proposed treatment and where it takes place.

Ask your clinician

Who will be responsible for my care?

05

Recovery arrangements

Discuss practical help, review appointments and written instructions specific to your proposed treatment.

Ask your clinician

What support and follow-up would I need?

06

Longer-term care

Ask what future monitoring or additional procedures may be part of the plan.

Ask your clinician

Which future costs and appointments should I consider?

04 / Understanding the quote

A budget built on your own quote.

The worksheet below uses EUR. Use amounts from the same currency; it does not convert exchange rates. If care is in another country, request the quote in this currency or calculate separately.

Clinical fees

Request the consultation and procedure fees in writing, with the name of the treating professional.

Facility and anesthesia

Check whether these are included in a package or billed separately. Enter each charge only once.

Devices and materials

Ask whether implants, garments, medicines or other materials are included where relevant.

Tests and follow-up

Clarify which assessments and review appointments are included and what extra visits may cost.

Travel and support

Budget using your own arrangements. Confirm the treatment and follow-up locations first.

Terms and future care

Read deposit, cancellation, refund and revision terms. Ask about costs if additional care is needed.

No local fees or price estimates are supplied here. Ask the practice to confirm currency, taxes, inclusions and exclusions. EUR currency reference ↗

05 / The consultation notebook

Arrive with better questions.

Use this personal planning notebook to prepare for a consultation with your treating team. Enter amounts from your own written quote; the worksheet does not estimate treatment costs.

Prepare your conversation

Consultation checklist

Tick a topic once you have a clear answer. Bring any unanswered questions to your clinician.

Questions to discuss with your treating team

A discussion aid, not a medical assessment. No answers or personal health details are collected.

Read the whole quote

Your EUR budget worksheet

Enter amounts from your own quote or estimates. Every field starts empty; this worksheet does not suggest prices.

Keep the quote in context

Confirm whether each amount includes taxes. This tool does not add taxes, estimate rebates or fill in missing costs. Enter a fee once; if a package already includes a category, avoid counting it twice.

Blank fields are unknown, not free. An entered subtotal is not a complete treatment quote. Ask what follow-up, revisions or unexpected care may cost.

Use non-negative amounts up to EUR 1,000,000,000,000 per field, with no more than two decimal places. Figures and ticks remain only in this open page; nothing is sent or saved by these tools.

06 / Professional checks

Read the credentials carefully.

The featured office is in Germany. Use the verification route relevant to the place where treatment will occur.

Published background

The legal notice names Erdmann as Facharzt für Plastische und Ästhetische Chirurgie, Facharzt für Chirurgie and holder of the additional designation Handchirurgie. It also lists DGPRÄC membership, which is not itself a current-registration check. Ask the clinician to explain how these qualifications relate to the planned treatment.

Official profile ↗

Ask about this treatment

Check the clinician’s relevant specialty and experience for your proposed procedure. Society membership, an online biography and a register entry provide different kinds of information.
