Head and principal doctor
Lidija Volovec, M.D., General Surgery Specialist
Dr. Lidija Volovec was born in 1961 in Brežice, Slovenia. She completed her primary and secondary education in Zagreb, where she lived until she got married and moved to Slovenia in 1983.
She enrolled at the Faculty of Medicine in Zagreb in the 1980/1981 academic year and graduated with high honors. She completed her medical degree in February 1987 with outstanding success. After completing her internship at Brežice General Hospital, she passed the professional exam in September 1989 and was offered a permanent position in the hospital's surgical department, where she was granted a specialization in general surgery after six months.
She completed her specialist exam after thirty-one months of rotation at Ljubljana University Medical Centre. As a specialist in general surgery, she worked in the abdominal surgery department at Brežice Hospital.
From March 2003 to September 2005, she was employed at Dr. Sakač's private surgical clinic in Brežice. She then established her own private practice, opening a self-funded surgical clinic in Brežice city center. In 2004, after acquiring the FOTONA DUALIS SP laser system, she focused intensively on laser surgery. At the same time, she pursued a two-year international postgraduate specialization in anti-aging medicine, organized by the European Institute of Scientific Anti-Aging Medicine under the auspices of the World Society of Anti-Aging Medicine.
She regularly attends international conferences and hands-on workshops on laser surgery, aesthetic medicine, and anti-aging medicine. She is an active member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, European Society for Laser Aesthetic Surgery, World Society of Anti-Aging Medicine, and International Society of Lipolysis Therapy, as well as an international delegate of the World Society of Anti-Aging Medicine for Slovenia.
In the past, she was a trainer for FOTONA, where she led international laser surgery workshops attended by doctors and dentists from around the world. She was also a national trainer for Vistabel botulinum toxin and Juvederm hyaluronic fillers at Allergan, where she conducted numerous practical training sessions for filler and botulinum toxin applications.
In recent years, she has dedicated her energy and expertise to gradually passing down her clinic to her daughter, ensuring the continuation of a long-standing tradition of professional, safe, and high-quality aesthetic and laser medicine. Her extensive knowledge and experience remain the foundation of the clinic, now successfully led by the next generation.

Mia Volovec Dodig, MD, specialist in family medicine
Mia Volovec Dodig: A doctor combining a passion for aesthetics and science
My journey in medicine began at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana, where I graduated with honors in 2013. During my studies, I had the opportunity to spend a year in Strasbourg at the Louis Pasteur Faculty of Medicine, where I gained insight into international practices, broadened my horizons and perfected my French. I passed the specialist exam in family medicine with honors in 2019.
Aesthetics became my passion during my studies when I participated in workshops at the local clinic, gaining practical experience in laser treatments, fillers and botulinum toxin. I acquired my initial laser skills at the Fotona Laser & Health Academy, which laid the foundation for my further development. Since 2013, I have regularly attended the most advanced international and domestic congresses and workshops, where I continue to upgrade my knowledge and stay updated with the latest trends in aesthetic medicine.
In 2022, I became an educator for IBSA Profhilo, a year later also for Mastelli polynucleotides. These achievements allow me to share my knowledge and experience with other doctors and help raise standards in aesthetic medicine.
My professional expertise has also been recognized through publications in the LA&HA Journal of Laser and Health Academy, where I am a co-author of articles "CASE REPORT: Laser Treatment of PWS using a Combination of Q-s KTP and Long-Pulse Nd:YAG Lasers" and "Treatment of Venous Malformation of the Oral and Lip Region with Nd:YAG Laser".
Why aesthetic medicine?
Because it combines everything I love - science, precision and art. I believe aesthetic medicine is not just about appearance but also about quality of life. I approach my work with enthusiasm, passion and dedication, always striving for natural results and a personalized approach.
As a family medicine specialist, I bring something unique to aesthetic medicine - a holistic approach. I understand how important it is for every patient to feel good in their skin and that is my goal.
"Beauty is not perfection - beauty is harmony. For me, what matters most is you and your confidence."
