This is a popular procedure amongst those seeking a slimmer silhouette and although final results take a few weeks to become visible, they are permanent. Abdominoplasty More commonly known as a “tummy tuck”, this operation removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen while restructuring and tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall. Ideal after a significant weight loss or for women wishing to repair the stomach area after pregnancy. Lipofilling This procedure uses fat removed by liposuction to give volume to other areas such as the breasts, buttocks, or calves. Lipofilling is suitable for patients who do not wish to resort to silicone implants or synthetic injections. Pectoral and calf implants Silicone gel implants are used to sculpt the pectorals and calves of men who are looking for more bulk and definition. As silicone gel has a very flexible consistency, the results appear perfectly natural. 10 Gentle Liposuction This option offers similar results to classic liposuction, but with less bruising and tissue trauma. However, this procedure is only suitable for people wishing to remove small pockets of fat from clearly localised areas. Arm and thigh lifts Aesthetic Surgery: Breasts and Chests Breast implants Breast enlargement surgery offers a solution for women unhappy with the appearance of their breasts. We offer a variety of implants, of all shapes and sizes, and can help you to achieve the results you desire. Ask about our 3D simulation An alternative to implants, lipofilling is the injection of the patient’s own fat tissue into the breasts in order to increase fullness and reduce sagging. This technique does, however, require a sufficient supply of fat tissue to obtain a visible result. Mammoplasty The aim of this procedure is to lift breasts that are sagging following significant weight loss or pregnancy. The ageing process and dramatic weight loss can result in sagging skin and excess tissue. A lift may be recommended to remove this excess and to improve the shape and appearance of the arms or thighs. i Breast lipofilling In certain cases, in addition to correcting the breast ptosis (sagging), breast enlargement surgery may be performed simultaneously, so as to restore volume to the area. Beautiful buttocks Lipofilling is just one of many options available to those looking to reshape their buttocks. Many consider injections of Macrolane, for example, a highly volumising hyaluronic acid that resorbs after 18 to 24 months, or silicone buttock implants, which offer a more permanent result. i New In particularly slim women, we use a combination of lipofilling and breast implants to ensure that the contours of the implant are not visible under the skin. Breast reduction This procedure is an operation to remove breast tissue and excess skin, thereby reshaping and reducing the size of the breast. Breast reduction surgery is regularly performed on women who suffer from hypertrophy of the breast (abnormal development of the mammary gland), which most commonly occurs towards the end of puberty, following pregnancy or subsequent to a significant weight gain. Male chest reduction surgery Gynecomastia surgery is the ideal solution for men who suffer from an unwanted, overdeveloped chest. Should this be caused by a hormonal disorder, we remove part of the mammary gland and tighten up any excess skin. In cases where there is a large amount of fatty tissue to be removed, liposuction is the most common procedure. For the majority of patients, we recommend a combination of both. 11 Aesthetic Surgery: Face Aesthetic Surgery: Intimate Areas Blepharoplasty: Eyelids This procedure treats drooping eyelids and eliminates under-eye puffiness. The upper and lower eyelids are treated separately, or all four can be operated on at the same time. Blepharoplasty is frequently Penoplasty: Penis Enlargement combined with other eye rejuvenation techniques, such as injections to fill hollow bags under the eyes or laser treatments and facial peels to smooth out fine wrinkles. Penis enlargement surgery can increase the length or girth of the penis, or both. The anxiety caused by a small penis is sometimes so considerable that it can lead to significant social and psychological issues. of the skin, many women opt for the mini facelift which enables the early resumption of normal activity due to its fast recovery time. From the age of 50 onwards, face lifts are generally combined with eyelid surgery. Increase in length is achieved by releasing the penile suspensory ligament through an incision made above the base of the shaft. The average gain is approximately 2.7 cm, however is visible in the flaccid position only. Face lifts A face lift removes the excess skin that appears as a result of ageing, either on a specific area of the face (forehead, temples, cheekbones), or on the entire face including the neck. In the event of moderate sagging Rhinoplasty: Nose This operation consists of remodelling the nose to change its shape or size. Your surgeon will discuss your desired results in detail with you and work on the nasal structure to give you a nose that is in harmony with the rest of your features. Genioplasty: Chin This is a procedure to improve an excessively protruding chin or, on the other hand, an excessively receding chin. It is occasionally combined with rhinoplasty surgery so as to balance out the profile of the face. Facial lipofilling We can use injections of fatty tissue to fill wrinkles and restore volume to the face, resulting in a more lifted and youthful appearance.This procedure also works to alleviate acne scarring. 12 i The usual increase in girth is approximately 2.6 cm and is achieved by way of a lipofilling procedure, whereby the surgeon injects small amounts of fat into the penis. The enlargement is visible in both flaccid and erect states. Vaginoplasty Simulation 3D Your surgeon may use Crisalix software to better understand your requirements and discuss the before and after results of facial aesthetic surgery with you. Otoplasty: Ears Otoplasty is any surgery to reshape the ears, reduce their size, or reposition protruding ears. This straightforward procedure may be performed under local anaesthetic. This procedure is most commonly used to treat women suffering from weakened vaginal muscles caused by the delivery of a large baby, a badly healed episiotomy, excess weight or the menopause. It involves reinforcing the muscles of the perineum (the pelvic floor) and narrowing the entrance to the vagina. Hymenoplasty Hymen reconstruction surgery may be carried out at the request of women in response to certain cultural or religious traditions or to help heal the trauma of a sexual assault. Nymphoplasty This surgery most frequently consists of reducing the size of the inner or outer labia when the woman is suffering, physically or emotionally, due to their appearance. More rarely, if the vaginal labia are very small, lipofilling may be considered to restore shape and volume. 13 Aesthetic Medicine Unit Approximately 50% of our medical procedures are performed on the face and 50% on the body. Together they represent an average of over 600 procedures per month at our clinic. Personalised support Our highly trained medical practitioners will guide you through the various techniques appropriate to your area of treatment. We ensure that every aspect of our patients’ care is covered and may recommend that several procedures are combined so as to obtain the most effective result.

The aesthetic medicine unit comprises ten medical care and laser treatment rooms, fitted with the most up-to-date equipment, and two recovery rooms. } Regular satisfaction surveys to ensure the highest levels of care The trend towards non-invasive techniques Growing numbers of patients are seeking techniques that produce fast, yet very natural results, preferably after a single treatment. They also want to be able to return to their daily activities without any visible marks. Progress made over recent years in the field of aesthetic medicine means that we can now offer valid alternatives to surgery for effective rejuvenation and slimming results.

Remodelling Vo l u m i s i n g injection products can improve the shape of facial features such as the nose (smooth out a bump, improve the tip, fill the hollow between the nose and the forehead) and the chin (advance a receding chin, fill out the chin fold, etc.). Skin appearance From the age of 30 onwards, the skin takes increasingly longer to recover and the face begins to show signs of fatigue. Injecting a highly fluid hyaluronic acid can protect the skin and restore its radiance. Skinboosters create luminous skin by eliminating dark circles under the eyes, tightening dilated pores, reviving a dull complexion and hydrating excessively dry skin. Lips Hyaluronic acid injections hydrate the lips, effectively increase lip volume without exaggerated puffiness, and accentuate the natural contour of the lips. 16 The injection products Venus Viva® Laser This treatment reduces the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, dilated pores, and age spots. The skin appears regenerated and radiant. A fractional laser heats the skin to activate natural collagen production. Heat density is controlled in real time to ensure painless treatment. Results from injection products vary between 6 and 15 months. We use botulinum toxin (Botox®, Bocouture®), hyaluronic acid (Juvederm®, Vistabel®, Volbella®, Emervel®, Restylane®, Perlane®, Azzalure®, Macrolane®, Glytone®) and calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse®). Sessions: 2 to 4 / Skin: Fair, medium, dark V-Lifting: Lifting without surgery We use this relatively new procedure to treat sagging skin on the face (tail of the eyebrow, cheekbones, jaw line, area under the chin, neck, etc.) and to fill lines (brow furrow, under eyes, nasolabial folds, bitterness folds, small wrinkles of the upper lip, etc.). It involves the insertion of 100% dissolvable threads under the skin, which stimulate the skin’s natural production of collagen. The results are natural and last for around 18 months. Venus Legacy® Laser Thermage® Laser This procedure uses radiofrequency energy to transform the skin on the face and neck by stimulating collagen regeneration. The Comfort Pulse Technology (CPT) system emits heat energy pulses interspersed with cooling bursts. This device treats wrinkles and ageing skin by regenerating collagen and stimulating circulation. It is also used to reduce the appearance of dark circles under the eyes and generally tighten the skin. A more gentle treatment than Viva®, this method combines radiofrequency with pulsed magnetic fields for an instant radiance boost.

Radiofrequency heats the deep layers of the dermis to help stimulate collagen production. Sessions : 1 Skin: Fair, medium, dark Venus Legacy® V-lifting This technique treats moderate skin sagging on the arms, abdomen and thighs. We use a fine needle to insert dissolvable threads under the skin.The lifting effect occurs as soon as these are set in the dermis. These threads trigger local inflammation and tissue fibrosis, encouraging the skin to produce new collagen. The result is firmer, younger looking skin. Aesthetic Medicine: Slimming and Cellulite CoolSculpting involves the controlled use of cold to painlessly destroy small accumulations of fat on a double chin, the hips, abdomen, arms, inner thighs, lower back, knees and buttocks.

Lasers are effective in the treatment of many skin problems and, as opposed to surgery which leaves permanent scars, laser procedures offer lasting results without any visible marks. Excessive perspiration can become a crippling issue for people in their everyday life. Stained clothing, unpleasant odours, awkwardness in social situations, etc. Luckily, there are techniques that offer a solution to this vicious circle. Moles and beauty spots Warts/Verrucas We use an ultra-pulsed CO2 laser to vaporise benign moles and beauty spots. The laser is suitable for use on the face and the body and one session is usually enough. A red mark will be visible after treatment, but this will fade over time. Session: 1 / Skin: Fair, medium, dark Tattoo removal The Q-Switched Nd:Yag laser effectively removes the coloured pigments implanted in the skin. We can treat all types of tattoo, whether ritual, amateur or professional. Some redness will be visible after the session but this will gradually disappear. A definitive solution for your armpits: MiraDry We use an ultra-pulsed CO2 laser to remove warts on the face, hands, arch of the foot and the genitals. After the session, there will be a scab for approx. 15 days. Laser is the most appropriate treatment when warts get out of control and multiply to form large mosaic clusters. The miraDryTM treatment is suitable for any adult troubled by the recurrent everyday perspiration of the armpits and those suffering from axillary hyperhidrosis. This non-invasive procedure uses electromagnetic wave energy to target and destroy the underarm sweat and odour glands. Results are permanent because once gone, these glands cannot regenerate. One to two sessions is usually sufficient to obtain the desired results, which are immediate. On average, they demonstrate a significant reduction of 82% in armpit perspiration and 77% in odour levels. Sessions: 1 to 3 / Skin: Fair, medium, dark Sessions: 2 to 4 for black and red ink, 10 to 15 for other colours / Skin: Fair, medium, dark Xanthelasma These are small deposits of cholesterol that grow on the eyelids and can be effectively treated using an ultrapulsed CO2 laser.

Sessions: 1 / Skin: Fair, medium, dark Botulinum toxin injections Botox can be injected into the skin of the forehead, armpits, palms of the hands or soles of the feet to temporarily prevent the production of sweat in these areas. Your consultant will first identify the areas that generate the most perspiration, then perform the injections. The product begins to act 7 to 10 days after injection and results last between 6 and 12 months depending on the number of treatments received. 23 Hair Laser Removal Laser is the most effective technique for painless, progressive and long-lasting hair removal in both women and men. How does it work? The laser sends out an invisible light that penetrates the skin without causing pain. The heat is captured by the melanin of the hair and transmitted all the way to the root. As a result, the hair follicle is destroyed and new hair cannot regrow. Because the laser’s action is effective only during the hairs’ anagen (growth) phase, several sessions are necessary to guarantee a long-lasting result. Who is it suitable for? Brown and black hairs respond best to this treatment as they contain the highest levels of melanin. We have the ability to treat all skin types without any risk; the Alexandrite laser is used for fair skin, the Nd:Yag laser for mixed and back skin and a combination of the two for olive and Asian skin. Not suitable for: } Very light blonde, bright red, grey or white hairs Medical laser hair removal Specialised, qualified laser physicians perform your consultation and the hair removal procedure. They will prepare a personalised treatment plan based on your skin type and hair colour and will verify that the treatment is suitable for you. The treatment Procedure: you will be given protective goggles to wear. The consultant will scan the treatment area with a handheld device that emits a light pulse. You will experience brief tingling and a mild heat sensation. Duration: the duration of the session depends on the size of the area to be treated, and ranges from a few minutes for the armpits or the bikini line to one hour for full legs. Number of sessions and frequency: between five and ten sessions are usually required, depending on the individual and the area to be treated. We recommend waiting 3 - 4 weeks for the second session for facial hair and 4 - 6 weeks everywhere else. Thereafter, sessions are usually 2 to 3 months apart. Aftercare The skin may appear red and slightly swollen for a few hours. To help combat the redness, you may apply a soothing cream such as Biafine for 2 to 3 days. You are advised to avoid exposure to the sun for 2 weeks. The results After each session, hair will grow increasingly slowly, and the remaining hairs will become ever thinner until they disappear entirely. At the end of your treatment, some 90% of hairs will not regrow. An annual maintenance session is recommended to eliminate any minor regrowth. } Pregnant women For at least 1 month prior to the session, the following must be avoided: } Exposure to the sun } Self-tanning lotions, UV sunbeds, Beta-Carotene supplements } Waxing / tweezing / electrical epilation 24 25 The Hair Implant Unit 65% of our hair transplants are performed on the scalp and 35% on the beard and eyebrows.

A narrow strip of scalp is taken from the back of the head. This will leave a very fine scar, however this can normally be hidden under the surrounding hair. The FUT method allows for the transplantation of between 500 and 2000 grafts, each containing a small number of hairs. This new technique is ideal for the treatment of premature and moderate baldness or to improve the results of a procedure carried out with an older technique. Between 300 and 1200 hairs are taken individually from the back of the head and transplanted to the bald or thinning area. This method leaves no scars. The transplanted hair will begin to grow after approx. 4 months and the final result will be visible after 6-12 months. Eyebrow transplant Suitable for men and women suffering from partial or total hair loss, we use the FUE technique to recreate the shape and density of real eyebrows. On average, between 150 and 200 grafts are necessary in order to fully restore the eyebrows. Very fine hair is taken from the back of the head and implanted following the original or desired shape of the eyebrow. The results are permanent and will be fully visible within 4-12 months. 28 The SKL Analyser is a comprehensive hair and scalp analysis device which performs the following: } Hair mapping: analyses the pattern of baldness } Hair density: calculates the number of hairs per cm2 } Capilloscopy: enables the direct observation of the scalp and hair } Sebum rate: measures the amount of sebum } Desquamation: analyses dandruff levels } Trichogram: determines the rate of hair growth The hair will begin to regrow after approx. 4 months and the final result will be visible after 6-12 months. } Hair diameter: useful when deciding on a hair treatment.
