Dr. Joan-Pere Barret
Dr. Joan Pere Barret is a specialist in Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery.
After completing his training as a specialist in Barcelona, his interest and curiosity in medicine led him to work across the globe in a variety of countries. He lived in the US, Netherlands and the UK, where he worked as a physician and learned about distinct forms of hospital organization, applying innovative new techniques such as microsurgery and directing his own research projects.
In 2005, after 8 years abroad, he returned to Barcelona where he applied all of his acquired knowledge and experience. He was appointed Head of the Plastic Surgery and Burns Department of the Hospital Vall d´Hebron, the same hospital where he began his career.

A lover of scientific dissemination, he has organized courses and congresses and has led conferences across the globe. In addition, he has written various books and scientific publications.
His surgical interventions are innovative, using the latest in endoscopic techniques and regenerative surgery with stem cells.
