About

Dr. Olga Bellou graduated from the School of Medicine at the University of Thessaly in 2016, having earlier completed her degree at the School of Dentistry, University of Athens, in 2008.

Prior to her surgical path, she practised general dentistry for several years.

She began her surgical career in 2016 with a year in General Surgery at Penteli Children's Hospital, before joining the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Department at KAT General Hospital of Attica from 2018 to 2023, where she took part in numerous surgical procedures under general and local anaesthesia across the oral, facial region. Between 2024 and 2025, she practised at the University Clinic of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of the University of Athens, based at the "P. & A. Kyriakou" Children's Hospital — reflecting many years of experience within the public health care system.

She completed further training in Vascular and Nerve Microsurgery at the Orthopaedic Clinic of the University of Athens in 2015, and was awarded her specialty title in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in December 2024. She has also visited several clinics in Germany as a visiting doctor for further training and exposure to advanced surgical practice.
