Rokas Bagdonas, a specialist in plastic and reconstructive surgery, has been working in this field since 2004. The surgeon graduated from the Kaunas Medical Academy, later he finished continuing doctoral studies and was awarded an MD degree; he also lectured at Kaunas Medical Academy, Klaipėda College and Klaipėda University 2004 to 2014. The surgeon broadened his knowledge and experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery through traineeships in Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Turkey, France, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, and the USA.
Dr R. Bagdonas is a member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and the Lithuanian Society for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the founder of the Lithuanian Wound Management Association, a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the Head of the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department of the Klaipėda Republican Hospital, a member of the Council of Social Partners of the Department of Recreation and Tourism of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Klaipėda University, and a member of the Council of Medical Treatment at the Klaipėda Republican Hospital.
Surgeon R. Bagdonas not only has the doctor’s calling in his genes, but is connected with art. His late father, Dr habil. Edmundas Pranas Bagdonas, was a thoracic surgeon, his mother, Irena Žuklytė-Bagdonienė, an artist, and his late grandfather, Vladas Žuklys, a famous sculptor. ‘As a child, I used to watch my grandfather create the graceful and precise forms of the human body from formless clay mass. When I was sixteen, my dad brought me to the operating-room for the first time. Since then, it has been what I do every day, a way of life. I say half-jokingly that I could not think of another specialty because of my origin. The love and respect for art and medicine passed from one generation to the next could not bypass me,’ the famous surgeon says. Dr R. Bagdonas’s wife, Agnė, is a dermatovenerologist. Together they founded Clinicus Klaipėda. The couple has four children: Paulina, Jonas, Mykolas, and Barbora.
“It’s very important to see your work not as a business but as a calling, a way of life, and to continuously develop and think of ways to help every person. I have to unconditionally give a part of myself to the patients, whether they need me during my working hours or on weekends. I can say without any doubt that I love my work and the people for the good of whom I work. My calling is my life with all of its joys and experiences. The path chosen, as well as the love for work and the patient, respect for the human being drive me to grow,’ says the surgeon. ‘I love precision by nature, therefore, each surgery is not only an accurately calculated medical but also a creative work, the result of which will bring happiness to the patient all his life. Plastic surgery should not be associated with vanity. Self-confidence is one of the most important things in life. Plastic surgery may become a solution enabling us to change not only the attitude towards ourselves but also the quality of life and to be happier,” states R. Bagdonas.

Dr Dainius Daunoravičius has been working in this field since 2007. He is a member of the Lithuanian Society for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). The surgeon graduated from the Faculty of Medicine of Vilnius University, later he finished continuing doctoral studies and was awarded an MD degree. Between 2007 and 2016, he lectured at the Faculty of Medicine of Vilnius University. The surgeon enhanced his knowledge and experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery through traineeships in Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Turkey, France, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Estonia, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
Surgeon D. Daunoravičius and his wife Ieva, an obstetrician gynaecologist, have four children: Ūla, Bernardas, Leonas and Vincentas.
Surgeon D. Daunoravičius comes from a family of several generations of physicians, professors and artists in various fields. Medicine, art and music have been accompanying Dainius since he was a child. ‘As a child, I would frequent the hospital departments where my dad and grandfather practised, and their meaningful work as doctors left a huge impression on me. I also used to spend a lot of time in the workshop of another grandfather, a professor at the Academy of Arts, where we modelled and moulded gypsum sculptures together. Therefore, when I found plastic surgery, which I perceive as a synthesis of art, science and medicine, there was no doubt,’ Dr D. Daunoravičius describes his calling. ‘Recently, in the grandfather’s workshop, we have been going through art books on sculpture of different times: from antiquity to modern art. I learned to model the human body from them and had discussions with my grandfather about the ideal proportions and the shape of lips, nose, and cheeks. We perfect them on clay or plaster forms and observe how a face changes as it is put together. It’s very interesting and useful as, after all, it is similar to what we do in the operating room,’ adds the surgeon.
‘Plastic surgery is my work and leisure, as well as a great field for endless improvement. The latest knowledge, new opportunities and mastered innovative operational techniques and tactics are especially important for people in our field. That is why I do traineeships at foreign clinics at least 5 times a year and subscribe to the latest scientific literature. I think that the greatest pleasure for every specialist in plastic and reconstructive surgery is the unique opportunity to make a positive change in the way the patient feels,’ says the surgeon. He maintains that plastic surgery has little to do with meeting one’s fancies and that it is the fulfilment of legitimate expectations and, quite often, even a necessity of human life.
‘Having succeeded in solving a physical problem, we help solve psychological issues and develop self-esteem at the same time. The results are clearly seen during postoperative visits when the patients arrive with shining faces, happy and self-confident. It is a great pleasure to see such harmony resulting from changes both on the inside and the outside, as this is the highest acclaim of our work.’
