You may be wondering how to concretely apply an EarFold implant and pick up your ears:
During the medical consultation at my Cannes Clinic we define together the desired result through pre-clips: they have the same firm and consistency as the surgical clip. Faced with a mirror we can imagine exactly how many clips will be needed and how will the result be. It’s a real revolution in cosmetic surgery to be able to predict and visualize your result!
We then proceed to a 3D photo and a simulation to visualize the result.
During a 2nd appointment, a small incision is made under local anesthesia to place the EarFold® implant under the skin, which will delicately bend the cartilage and thus reconnect the ear.
We finalize with 1 or 2 stitches.
Recollecting his ears is finally accessible without heavy intervention and with immediate and lasting results.

It is possible to reduce the appearance of tear troughs by injecting hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid will fill the tear trough and hollow under the eyes and thus restore radiance to the eyes.

This video shows the preparation before an operation of cosmetic surgery. We will perform a face lift and neck lift to smooth the skin of the face and rejuvenate the look and the beauty of our patient.

Young people have one obsession these days: their image.

How they look on the social networks is an important issue, for instance, and many expert youtubers and online influencers are setting the example.  They are experts in selfies, staging themselves in every possible way, making good use of the photo filters and all the digital photo retouching tools.

But what if it took just a minimal effort to naturally improve your image ? For instance, one small hyaluronic acid can make the difference.

The profile consists of the forehead, nose and chin. Analyzing all these elements often reveals the structural differences and the way they are balanced.

This is one of the main aspects that we will take into consideration during a consultation: we focus on the balance and harmony between these different areas : the upper face (forehead), mid-face (nose) and the lower face (lips and chin).

The shape of the nose and chin are important elements in the harmony of the face and the way we are generally perceived. A chin that is too small, it can make your face look too short. A excessively prominent chin on the other hand can give your face an aggressive look. In both cases, we can properly restore the chin’s shape with the help of superficial hyaluronic acid injectons that will correct the base or the tip of the chin.

There are different other non-invasive ways to improve the profile : dense hyaluronic acid injections can correct a receding chin, more fluid injection can enhance the lips volume, or reshape a flat forehead. These simple procedures have a rejuvenating effect and smooth the face features.

We call this profiloplasty: the global analysis of the face, taking into account all its different proportions. Treating only isolated elements of the face will not always provide satisfying results.

For several years now, Botulinum toxin has been one of the most effective techniques for  treating facial wrinkles on the upper face.

The results however depend on the practitioner injecting the product. The procedure requires experts skills and perfect knowledge of the facial muscles.

You probably already know how botulinum toxin works: it inhibits the contractions of the injected muscles, thus reducing the wrinkles and lines related to these muscles.

If you have expression wrinkles, botulinum toxin is a wonderful treatment. Both is injected without any anesthetic or prior medication.

We inject the product by a simple (and painless) puncture in the muscle. As soon as the procedure is completed, you can go back to your regular activity. The muscles are weakened after the injection, but you can see the real muscular relaxation progressively between the 3rd and the 21st day after the procedure.

The results last 4 to 6 months.

Protruding (or prominent) ears can be the cause of an important complex and even impact the self esteem.

It is a more or less noticeable malformation affecting roughly 5% of the population. We often hear : ”He has big ears like his mother”, or “His ears are prominent like those of his grandfather”.

Prominent ears are often caused by genetic factors.

Also known as ”bat ears”, this condition is caused by an abnormal congenital positioning of the ear’s cartilage. There are 3 main anomaly types:

• An absence of folds in the anthelix (the cartilage inside the outer rim of the external ear)
• A hypertrophy of the concha (which is the hollow next to the ear canal)
• Helix valgus (too wide an angle between the pinna and the cranium)

Otoplasty can be performed on adults, teenagers or children above 7 years old (as soon as the ear has reached its full size).

The initial consultation in our clinic in Geneva is essential, because all the procedure and the post-operative care must be explained in detail.

We use a computer imaging technology called ”Morphing” that helps visualizing the desired outcome and understand the different aspects of the ear reshaping.

Otoplasty is performed under local anesthesia (according to the patient’s age and tolerance).

The surgery takes approximately an hour and requires a 12 to 36 hours hospitalization.

Otoplasty is a relatively light surgery, with no risk of affecting your hearing.

Physicalbeauty, a shifting and subjectiveconceptis a crucial stake for many professionals in the cosmetic and beauty industry. A huge stake in a world whereplastic surgery has become accessible to many.

No one can deny that the way we look heavily influences our lives. Most people tend to take very seriously how others see them, and whether their image suits the beauty standards.

Being a good-looking person has undeniable advantages when it comes to job opportunities, professional success and more generally social evolution. The increasing instrumentalization ofthe body is not surprising, since the physical appearance plays such an important role.

It is obvious that the number of cosmetic procedures increases constantly, performed by a wide range of specialists (ophthalmologists, dermatologists or even gynecologists…)

The standards are changing, and nothing lasts for ever. We can all be beautifulin different ways, even if some beauty idealscontinue to prevail.

You should not forget that beauty ideals are mainly created by advertising industries and luxurystandards. It’s aproclaimed, imposed beauty, aiming to create desire and reinforce stereotypes. True beauty is a matter of soul, one that the cosmetic surgery will not artificially create, but emphasizein a natural way.

After a certain age, menopause not only causes mood swings, insomnia and weight gain, but it can also have damaging effects on the skin.

Deep wrinkles, bags under the eyes and dryskin are just a fewof the problems causedby hormonal changes at this age. During menopause, hormone levels acceleratethe skin aging, causing the skin to sag. The hyaluronic acid production is also decreasing, leading to dry skin.

The wisest investment you can do for your skin is starting a skin care program while you are in your thirties.

The skin’s ability to regenerateand replace collagen decreases,as estrogen levels drop. This is the actualcause of deepwrinkles on severalareas such as the forehead, the eyes and themouth.

The first dynamic wrinkles start showing up in the early thirties, so Botulinum toxin (Botox) can already be used in order to relax them.

On the other hand, the repeated use of dermal fillerswill stimulate the collagen production, which allows you to prevent deeper wrinkles that generally show up a few years later.

So these procedures are not only about making you look younger, but also about avoiding or delaying surgery.

Injecting fillers has become one of the most frequent procedures in cosmeticmedicine. While botulinum toxin corrects expression lines, peels smooth the skin and lasers restructure the dermis, injecting hyaluronic acid and other fillers allows the practitioners to reshape the face.

These injections have had quite an evolution, fromthe firstresorbable injectable products like collagen, until the hyaluronic acidthat we use today.

Using low-viscosity hyaluronic acid injections,we can easily correct wrinkles or redefine lip contour.

When thicker fillers started to be used, the purpose became correcting volume lossby injecting in deeper skin layers: hollow temples and cheeks, dark circles under the eye, the lower face slackening, deep folds, hollows caused by the loss of subcutaneous fat, etc …

At this point, a new approach in cosmetic medicine became possible: the face restructuring, which aims to give the face a younger look in a natural way, without exaggerating contours.

Hyaluronic acid has enormous advantages; it’s a fully resorbable, high tolerance product, perfectly integrated in skin tissues, with an immediate and natural effect lasting up to 18 months.

However, the fillers must be high quality products, used with the best adapted technique.

Cosmetic surgeons using needles are no longermere “wrinkle hunters”, as one colleague once said.

Today, surgeons have new, highlyevolved perspectives on what a juvenile looktruly means. They inject a whole seriesof products in orderto liftand remodel skinand thus to prevent aging.

Most consultations don’t last more than an hour and recovery times are also fast.

By the age of 50 or 60, most of us loseabout 20% of our facial bones and fat. As a result, our facelookssagging and emaciated.

Unlike more superficial treatments, the new treatments involve injecting hyaluronic acid under the dermal layer, in order to build a supporting tissue in the cheeks, nasolabial folds and, most effectively, the temples’ skin.

Aging temples will visibly ”melt” in time. These complexe changes are reasons enough to approach a face treatmentwith a global, 3-dimensional technique.
