During this initial consultation, your surgeon will take the time to discuss your motivations, doubts and aspirations in detail.

This meeting also ensures that the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery is a carefully considered one, taking into account your personal needs and long-term well-being.

Every cosmetic surgery procedure requires careful planning. The consultation explains each stage of the operation, the expected results, and the post-operative care, so that you understand how the operation will be carried out and what benefits you can expect.

In addition, a full medical examination will be carried out to ensure that you are in good health and fit to undergo surgery safely.

When it comes to cosmetic surgery, it's essential to feel completely at ease with your surgeon. This relationship of trust is essential if you are to live each stage of the process with peace of mind, from the initial consultation through to the post-operative phase.

• Relaxed look : Blepharoplasty of the upper eyelids will correct the excess skin that gives the impression of drooping eyelids and restore tension to the skin.
• Overall rejuvenation of the look: Blepharoplasty of the upper and lower eyelids offers an overall rejuvenation of the periocular region, treating not only excess skin or fat, but also the sometimes withered or sagging appearance of the lower eyelids.

Before the operation, a pre-operative consultation is compulsory, including an examination of the eyes and eyelids to look for any abnormalities that could complicate the operation. This is also an opportunity for the surgeon to ascertain your expectations and, if necessary, adapt the recommended technique or treatment.

In some cases, an ophthalmological examination will also be requested to detect any ocular pathology.

Blepharoplasty of the upper eyelids is usually performed as an outpatient procedure in the operating theatre, under local anaesthetic or sedation. If the presence of an anaesthetist is required, a consultation with him or her will also be arranged.

For the upper eyelidsThe incisions are concealed in the furrow halfway up the eyelid, between the mobile and fixed parts of the eyelid. For the lower eyelids, they are placed 1 to 2 mm under the eyelashes, and may extend slightly beyond them. In both cases, the scars are hidden in the natural folds and are therefore barely visible. The sutures are made with very fine sutures, usually non-absorbable, which are removed five to seven days after the operation.

A period of three to six months is necessary to really appreciate the result. This is the time needed for the tissues to regain their suppleness and for the scars to fade as much as possible.

Blepharoplasty is one of the operations with the highest levels of patient satisfaction. What's more, the results of a blepharoplasty are generally among the longest-lasting in cosmetic surgery. The removal of the "bags" is virtually definitive. On the other hand, the skin continues to age and the resulting laxity can, over time, reproduce the creasing of the eyelids.

Blepharoplasty can be performed alone or in conjunction with other cosmetic surgery procedures on the face - such as a facelift - or on the neck. nanofats / microfats or improve skin quality or fill in the hollows of dark circles.

• Natural and lasting rejuvenation Lifting: during a facelift, the muscles are re-tensioned and the skin is then re-draped as required, without excessive traction. This dual action produces a natural, long-lasting result.

Before the operation, a pre-operative consultation is compulsory to assess your expectations and analyse the anatomy of your face. A pre-operative check-up may be carried out.

A face lift is usually performed under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic with sedation. The incisions are placed in strategic areas (hair, around the ear, etc.) so that they are concealed as much as possible. From the incisions, a detachment is made under the skin, the extent of which depends on the extent of the relaxation of the tissues.

The musculoaponeurotic plane is then re-tensioned in an extremely precise and measured manner to correct the deep sagging, while preserving the face's natural expression.

In the case of localised excess fat, liposuction can be carried out at the same time; conversely, in the case of loss of volume, lipofilling can be considered to harmonise the final result.

It's important to note that facelifts for men have a few specific characteristics: the skin is often thicker, the hairline may shift slightly following surgery, and thinner hair doesn't hide scars as easily.

Results are already visible after two weeks, but it's only after two to three months that you'll have a good idea of the final result.

In the long term, although the cervico-facial lift helps to combat the ravages of time, ageing continues to take its toll and the procedure may need to be repeated after around ten years. In order to extend this timeframe, a follow-up in aesthetic medicine is recommended.

• Trim the breasts breast enlargement: the operation increases the size of the breasts and improves their shape and firmness.
• Enhancing the silhouette Breast enlargement: breast enlargement allows you to enhance your overall figure and restore your full femininity.

Before the operation, a pre-operative consultation is compulsory to assess your expectations and choose the appropriate implant. An X-ray and pre-operative health check-up may be carried out. Depending on your morphology and the desired result, the implant will be placed under the muscle or under the mammary gland, through incisions that may be located in or around the areola, in the armpit or in the fold under the breast.

At the end of the operation, a "modelling" dressing is applied with an elastic bandage. This is removed after a few days and replaced by a lighter dressing. A bra may then be recommended day and night for a few weeks.

Breast augmentation is usually performed under local anaesthetic and sedation; in some cases, a general anaesthetic may be required. The operation does not generally require hospitalisation; in some cases, however, an overnight stay may be recommended.

It takes two to three months to appreciate the final result. This is the time needed for the breasts to regain their full suppleness and for the prostheses to stabilise.

With the exception of significant weight loss, breast volume will remain stable over the long term. However, the shape and 'hold' of augmented breasts will be subject to the same effects of gravity and ageing as natural breasts - with a variable speed depending on the quality of the skin and the volume of the implants.

• A reshaped figure Liposuction: liposuction is not a weight-loss method; rather, it helps to harmonise the contours of the body, for example in the case of a predominantly saddlebags appearance.
• Can be used on many areas of the body Liposuction: in principle, liposuction can be applied to a large number of areas of the body, such as the "saddlebags", hips, abdomen, thighs, knees, arms, etc.

Before the operation, a pre-operative consultation is compulsory. If you have recently put on weight, it is important to lose weight before considering surgery.

Liposuction is generally carried out under local anaesthetic or sedation; for more extensive liposuction, it may be performed under general anaesthetic.

Deep fat is removed using cannulas with rounded tips inserted into the areas to be treated through very short incisions (of the order of 3-4 millimetres). Most often hidden in a natural fold, they are particularly discreet, making the scars almost invisible from a distance.

At the end of the operation, compression to limit post-operative oedema is usually applied using a suitable panty or elastic bands.

The result will begin to appear after three weeks, once the oedema has subsided, but it is only after 3 to 6 months - the time needed for the skin to retract completely and readapt to the new silhouette - that the final result can be appreciated.

• It is important to note that the more supple the skin, the faster and better it will heal. Liposuction is therefore recommended from adulthood onwards.
• In some cases, it is possible to take advantage of the natural tissue that is the fat extracted during liposuction, to "fill out" certain areas that are considered insufficiently shapely (face, buttocks, breasts, etc.).
• For patients who refuse surgery, the CoolSculpting is a serious and advantageous alternative to liposuction.

• Trim the breasts Breast enlargement: the operation produces a moderate increase in the size of the breasts - about half a size. It is therefore considered if the patient wants a very natural, moderate effect.
• Improving the natural look after breast augmentation After breast augmentation, the contour of the implants can sometimes be too visible - particularly in slim patients. In such cases, fat injections can be effective in covering the edges of the implants and restoring a more natural appearance to your breasts.
• Restore volume to any other part of the body Lipofilling is most often performed on the breasts, face or labia majora. However, other areas can be reshaped, in particular the buttocks, hands, calves, etc.
• Lasting effect This approach, although more invasive than injections, has the advantage of being long-lasting, with no risk of rejection.

Before the operation, a pre-operative consultation is compulsory, to assess your expectations and define the surgical strategy with you. An X-ray and pre-operative health check may be carried out.

Depending on the area to be filled, the anaesthetic will be local and the operation may be carried out under sedation, or it may be general. Most of the time, the operation will be carried out on an outpatient basis.

The first stage involves removing fat by liposuction from a donor area such as the abdomen, thighs or hips. This fat is then centrifuged, purified and prepared for reinjection into the desired area.

The small scars resulting from lipofilling are very small and tend to fade over time.

Although the final result will be visible after around 6 weeks, it can already begin to be appreciated in the first month. It is important to maintain a stable weight, because if you lose a lot of weight, the volume reinjected may be affected.

Patients are generally very satisfied with the procedure. In the breast area, lipofilling improves the shape of the breasts with a very natural effect. For the face and labia majora, lipofilling gives the face a natural, long-lasting appearance, with no risk of rejection.

It is important to know that the ratio between the fat aspirated and the fat reused for lipofilling is 1 to 3, which means that fat resorption is around 30% on average.

In the case of lipofilling of the face or labia majora, it can be very interesting to couple the technique with Nanofats (skin grafting of stem cells from the same fat as in lipofilling), enabling tissue regeneration and a significant improvement in the quality of the skin or mucous membranes.

• A new silhouette In addition to aesthetic improvements, abdominoplasty generally brings a clear improvement in terms of comfort, and generally stimulates the adjustment of weight balance.
• Abdomen with excess skin Loss of elasticity: during major weight loss, the skin may not have enough time to retract and may remain flabby. Ageing can also contribute to a loss of skin elasticity. Abdominoplasty can help restore a firmer, flatter stomach.
• Abdomen with excess fat liposuction: once a healthy lifestyle has been adopted (diet and regular exercise), liposuction can be considered to eliminate excess fat in a targeted and effective way.

Before the operation, a pre-operative consultation is compulsory to assess your expectations and check that there are no contraindications. A pre-operative check-up and imaging tests may be necessary.

Abdominoplasty is generally performed under general anaesthetic, with hospitalisation lasting 2 to 5 days.

If appropriate, liposuction can be used to remove excess fat. The incision pattern depends on the location and amount of skin to be removed. The more skin to be removed, the larger the scar (above the pubis). The skin above the navel is re-draped downwards and can be "padded" to fix it to the underlying muscular wall, thus improving tension and limiting the risk of effusion.

At the end of the operation, a shaping dressing is applied, which may or may not be combined with a compression girdle.

The results start to be visible after two to three months, but the final result can be appreciated after a year - the time needed for the scar to fade.

As the scar is positioned above the pubis, it is generally concealed by underwear. A laser treatment (VBeam) may be considered if you want the scar to be as inconspicuous as possible.

• Improved self-esteem Otoplasty: Otoplasty can be performed from the age of seven, by which time the ears have acquired their adult size and shape. This procedure is all the more indicated if the child is suffering psychologically because of mockery or derogatory remarks from friends.

Before the operation, a pre-operative consultation is compulsory. If the presence of an anaesthetist is required, a consultation with him or her will also be arranged. Otoplasty is usually performed in the operating theatre on an outpatient basis, with discharge authorised on the same day, but in some cases a short stay in hospital may be necessary.

During the operation, the cosmetic surgeon will choose the appropriate technique depending on the defects to be corrected and the chosen surgical strategy. The operation, which lasts between 1 and 2 hours, involves making an incision behind the ear or at the back of the ear. The skin is then removed as required, and the cartilage remodelled.

It takes one to two months to appreciate the final result. This is the time needed for the tissues to soften and for all the oedema to subside, leaving the contours of the ear clearly visible. After this time, only the scars will still be slightly pink and indurated before fading, after about 12 months.

The aim of all surgery is to improve, not to achieve perfection. As long as the patient's wishes remain realistic, the result should give great satisfaction. In the case of otoplasty, it is important to be aware that a touch-up operation may be necessary if a stitch on the cartilage breaks, and that hypertrophic scars are possible, particularly in young children.

• Reduction in the size of the labia minora The aim of the operation is to obtain a harmonious vulva, with the size of the labia minora matching that of the labia majora and the volume of the vulva.
• Correcting asymmetry : Most of the time, enlargement of the labia minora is bilateral, but it can sometimes be unilateral.
• Improving quality of life Nymphoplasty not only improves vulvar health by reducing the incidence of mycosis, but also improves overall quality of life.

The operation is usually performed on an outpatient basis, under local anaesthetic enhanced by tranquillisers or sedation, but it can also be performed under general anaesthetic.

The technique adopted depends on each case.

The scars fade in 1 to 2 months, so the result can be judged at that time.
