An approach: the result that does not show

My main objective is to obtain a natural result: that is my signature. I like those close to my patients to notice a change without being able to attribute it to surgery. I carry out every medical and surgical procedure myself, from the first consultation to the last follow-up appointment.

The relationship with the patient

Trust between a patient and their aesthetic surgeon is essential. It is what holds the relationship together, before, during and after the procedure.

Every patient who comes to see me for the first time takes the time to tell me their story, their wish, their plan. My task is to find a solution suited to the need they feel, but one that always respects their personality. Only on that condition will the procedure be well lived, will the concern be able to fade, and will the patient regain their self-confidence.

Post-operative follow-up

Post-operative follow-up must never be neglected, because healing, swelling, the recovery period and how quickly the final result appears are all sources of anxiety.

That is why I see my patients many times after their operation. I give them my professional mobile number once the procedure is done, and I make myself available at any moment to answer their questions and their worries.

Every patient needs to be reassured and supported throughout this anxious period. I have therefore built around me a team with the same empathy. My assistant, my surgical assistants and my anaesthetists know what hope means when it is bound up with the fear of an operation. Warm, gentle and professional, they take the time to show each person that they matter.
