Cosmetic surgery: face, chest, stomach, buttocks

What is cosmetic surgery?

Cosmetic surgery encompasses all surgical practices aimed at correcting the appearance of a body part (face, nose, buttocks, stomach, breasts, excess skin, etc.) deemed unsightly by a patient. As such, cosmetic surgery is an individual choice, and is by no means compulsory, nor is it reimbursed by Social Security. It can, however, be an effective means of resolving a number of problems, such as complexities or lack of self-confidence.

Good to know: cosmetic surgery differs from plastic surgery and cosmetic medicine. While plastic surgery aims to correct defects and lesions in the body, cosmetic surgery gives the body a new appearance. Aesthetic medicine, on the other hand, aims to achieve the same objectives as cosmetic surgery, but without surgical intervention (operation). The results obtained with aesthetic medicine are often less visible and less long-lasting than those obtained with cosmetic surgery.

Personalized assessment

To determine the most suitable treatment, an initial consultation is recommended.
The aim is to analyze your needs and draw up a customized treatment plan.

  • Face lift reduces the signs of aging
  • Lipostructure or lipolifting involves injecting the patient's own fat to rejuvenate the face.
  • Rhinoplasty encompasses all plastic or cosmetic surgery operations on the nose
  • Tensor threads a gentle procedure to lift the skin

Intimate surgery encompasses all procedures related to the genitals of men and women. For men, intimate surgery is used to increase the size of the penis, either by enlarging it (widening penoplasty) or lengthening it (lengthening penoplasty). In women, intimate surgery is focused on the vagina and pubic area:

  • Labioplasty or nymphoplasty offers a range of procedures to reduce the labia minora, labia majora and/or vulva.
  • Hymenoplasty aims to reconstruct a woman's hymen
  • Pubic liposuction consists of removing the accumulation of fat above the vagina.

Cosmetic surgery regulations

Controlling authorized facilities

Installations Autonomes de Chirurgie Esthétique (IACE) are required to submit a request for authorization to the Agence Régionale de Santé, undertaking to :

  • Only allow qualified surgeons to operate
  • No direct or indirect advertising
  • Comply with regulations on technical operating conditions
  • Have an agreement with an establishment authorized to receive and treat emergencies
  • Undertake the Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) certification procedure

Checking surgeons' competence

"Surgical procedures carried out in authorized facilities must be performed only by surgeons possessing a specialty or competence for which the omnivalence of a doctor's diploma or experience is no substitute".

"Only qualified practitioners specializing in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery are authorized to perform all cosmetic surgery procedures.

In this way, the basic principle that had been transgressed by so-called "aesthetic" doctors is reaffirmed.

THE PRACTICE OF COSMETIC SURGERY BY A DOCTOR IS ILLEGAL.
