Dr Per Heden began his medical training at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, and entered plastic surgery training in 1978. He early developed interest in the then emerging field of microsurgery and subsequently became a driving force in establishing microsurgery practice in the region. In 1981 this lead to the first microsurgical operation performed in Stockholm.

In 1982, he was offered a position in Australia. This was followed by plastic surgery research in the U.S. under Professor Elof Eriksson in Illinois, and at Harvard University in Boston. In 1990 Dr Per Heden attained associate professorship at Karolinska Institute, and became Head of the microsurgery unit at Sabbatsberg Hospital. Dr Per Heden founded Akademikliniken in 1991, which is now Scandinavia’s largest private hospital that specializes in plastic surgery.
