Dr. Patrik Radberger

Dr. Patrik Radberger has been working in oculoplastic surgery since 2017, with a special focus on aesthetic eyelid surgery. His strong interest in aesthetic eyelid surgery has led him to pursue further training both in Sweden and internationally.

Dr. Radberger earned his medical degree at Karolinska Institutet and completed his specialist training in ophthalmology at S:t Erik’s Eye Hospital in Stockholm.

Beyond his medical career, Dr. Radberger has a great artistic interest. He previously studied at art school and spends his free time on both sculpture and painting. Initially, he planned to become an artist, but inspiration from his grandfather, who was a physician, and his drive to help people led him to the medical profession. Today, he enjoys combining his two passions—medicine and art—by applying his artistic sensibility to the delicate and detailed surgery around the eyes. His artistic background gives him a special sense of form, symmetry, and natural aesthetics, which is reflected in his work with patients at Ögonlocksakademin.
