VDÄPC stands for Vereinigung der Deutschen Ästhetisch-Plastischen Chirurgen, the Association of German Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. It is a professional society focused on aesthetic plastic surgery. Its activities include professional exchange, continuing education and information for patients.
VDÄPC and the German Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, abbreviated DGPRÄC, are different organisations. VDÄPC was not renamed DGPRÄC. Each society publishes its own current membership information and admission requirements.
When choosing a doctor, the individual's recognised specialist qualification and experience with the specific operation are key considerations. Membership alone guarantees neither a particular result nor a course of treatment without complications.
