Dr. Per Hedén was one of the driving forces in establishing microsurgery in Sweden. After completing his plastic surgery training in Sweden in 1982, he held a plastic surgery position in Australia, and subsequently pursued plastic surgery research in the United States, first in Springfield, Illinois, and later at Harvard University in Boston. His research led to his attaining an Associate Professorship at the Karolinska Institute in 1990, a position he still holds. He became the head of the microsurgery unit at Sabbatsbergs Hospital in 1990 and still has a devoted interest for microsurgical repair of facial paralysis and patients from all of Sweden are sent to Dr. Hedén for this kind of surgery. In 1991 he founded Akademikliniken together with Jan Jernbeck, which is now Northern Europe’s largest private plastic surgery hospital, with more than 60,000 procedures performed each year.

Over the years Dr Hedén has published more than 50 scientific papers, as well as multiple chapters in plastic surgery textbooks. Dr Hedén has written the patient information book: “ Plastic Surgery and You” published in Swedish 1996. It has since been translated and published in English and Russian, and has sold 10,000 copies in Sweden alone.
