Having cosmetic facial surgery is not a choice to be taken lightly. Whatever part of your face you want to change, this type of intervention requires you to be well informed and well accompanied by your cosmetic surgeon.

According to a YouGov survey carried out in 2020 on a panel of women exclusively, 2 out of 3 French women say they are complexed by their physique, body and face combined. A discomfort that led some of them to turn to cosmetic surgery.

Indeed, more than one French woman in 10 has already gone through the scalpel box and 12% of those who have never done so are seriously considering it.

Interventions which are not, however, miracle recipes against complexes since 72% of these women who have already performed cosmetic surgery always said they were ill in their body, even after one or more interventions.

In cosmetic surgery, it’s all about proportions and volume. The cosmetic surgeon is there to listen to the complexes and expectations of a patient, but also to support him thanks to his expertise. It is he who will know how to determine which technique is best suited to a problem and to distinguish between the fantasies of a patient and what it is possible to achieve while respecting the harmony of a face.

Rhinoplasty to redraw the nose

It is one of the most performed cosmetic surgery operations. Rhinoplasty involves retouching the shape of a patient’s nose by touching both the cartilage and the bone that make up the structure of this fragile area. Modifying a hunchbacked, crooked, too wide nose… computer simulations allow the patient to have a concrete idea of ​​the future result.

Genioplasty, chin surgery

This cosmetic or reconstructive surgery technique “aims to reposition the chin, which can sometimes be too advanced or too far back”, explains Dr Franck Benhamou, plastic and aesthetic surgeon in Paris. To advance a receding chin, the surgeon will most often have recourse to the placement of an implant, while to correct a protruding chin – in galoche – will be corrected either by the removal of a bone rod, or by a sanding technique. the bone.

Otoplasty and earlobe surgery

Cosmetic surgery offers techniques to modify the shape of the ears and the lobe. The otoplasty will reattach ears without a visible scar. This intervention can, in certain cases, be reimbursed by the Health Insurance. Earlobe surgery not only corrects appearance, but also repairs a split and damaged lobe.

Cosmetic surgery is also a tool to reduce the stigma of time. Correct sagging face, reduce fine lines and wrinkles… several techniques are available to patients to regain tone.

The facelift

Whether you opt for a full facelift or a targeted mini facelift, this facial intervention helps to tighten the skin. This technique allows you to redraw the oval of the face and reduce wrinkles, while preserving the naturalness of expressions.

Blepharoplasty

This eye surgery consists of reducing the signs of aging in the eyelids by correcting sagging in the upper or lower area.

The new techniques of cosmetic surgery of the face make it possible today to obtain discreet results. The scars are placed in hidden areas or in the natural folds of the face to become almost imperceptible.

Purely cosmetic surgery operations are not covered by Health Insurance. Rhinoplasty may be partially supported if it aims to reshape a deviated nasal septum. We will then speak of septoplasty.

Facial rejuvenation operations such as facelifts or eyelid surgery are not reimbursed.
