Rhinoplasty
Plastic and cosmetic surgery of the nose: it reshapes the nasal pyramid, partly or as a whole, and sometimes corrects a breathing problem. It can be combined with a genioplasty to harmonise the profile.
Procedures
Each procedure has an information sheet produced under the aegis of the French Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery: read it carefully, or even print it, before your first consultation. The sheets are in French.
Plastic and cosmetic surgery of the nose: it reshapes the nasal pyramid, partly or as a whole, and sometimes corrects a breathing problem. It can be combined with a genioplasty to harmonise the profile.
Cosmetic surgery of the upper, lower or all four eyelids, to remove hereditary or age-related imperfections. Performed alone or combined with a lift.
The most frequently performed lift: it corrects ageing of the neck and face, from the temples down to the jowls, by repositioning the tissues and re-tensioning the skin.
Lift of the forehead and temples performed endoscopically: a mini-camera guides the procedure, limiting surgical trauma and greatly reducing scars.
Otoplasty reshapes ears considered too visible by correcting the cartilage anomalies responsible for their protruding appearance. For children and adults alike.
Micrografts have transformed this surgery: hair taken from the crown, where it will never fall out, is transferred to the front and the vertex.
Reduction of an excessive breast volume, often combined with sagging and with physical (neck, shoulder and back pain), functional and psychological consequences. “Vertical clamp” technique developed by Dr Knipper.
Sagging of the gland and stretching of the skin: the breast sits too low. Most often occurs after major weight loss or after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Increasing breast volume with implants, when the breasts have always been underdeveloped or after weight loss or pregnancy. Discreet scars through an armpit or areolar incision.
Correction of excess skin and fat on the abdominal wall, up to a genuine apron of skin and fat. There is no single technique: assessing each case is key.
Permanently removes localised fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. It is not a weight-loss method.
Reinjection of one's own fat (lipofilling) to fill or reshape. Long disappointing, the technique has been refined to give more reliable results.
When the skin of the inner thighs is loose, liposuction alone is not enough: the thigh lift removes the excess skin and re-tensions it in depth.
The arm lift (brachioplasty) corrects loose skin on the inner arms, common after repeated weight loss, when liposuction alone is not enough.
Surgical removal of skin lesions when this is considered preferable, and treatment of abnormal or unsightly scars.
Injections of fluid products to reshape certain areas of the face or fill wrinkles, folds and hollows: a gentle, non-surgical cosmetic medicine technique.
Cosmetic injections of a muscle-relaxing substance that reduces the contraction of the muscles responsible for certain expression lines.
Mechanical abrasion of the skin with a rotating brush or burr, whose speed and pressure are controlled by the surgeon.
After mastectomy, the simplest method of reconstruction when the skin and pectoral muscle allow it. It may be preceded by a period of skin expansion.
The latissimus dorsi flap uses skin and muscle from the back, often with an implant, to recreate breast volume after mastectomy.
An original rectus abdominis flap technique: excess skin and fat from the abdomen is moved up to the chest to rebuild the breast.
Hand surgery and microsurgery (hand emergencies and SOS Mains unit at the Georges Pompidou European Hospital), burn sequelae, reconstruction after accidents or mutilation.

Two consultations are often needed before a procedure: time to reflect is part of the journey.
