Plastic surgery in Geneva: transform your body and boost your confidence!
Plastic surgery is a medical specialty that goes far beyond aesthetics. It enables us to repair, reconstruct and enhance the body and face, whether following an accident, congenital malformation or medical treatment. Thanks to its advanced techniques, it combines function and aesthetics, offering patients the possibility of regaining their natural appearance or modifying certain areas for greater harmony and self-confidence.
Today, plastic surgery is increasingly popular not only for reconstructive procedures, but also for aesthetic procedures that improve appearance and psychological well-being. Technological advances, such as advanced lasers and minimally invasive techniques, have greatly expanded the possibilities available to patients.
What is plastic surgery?
If the name sometimes conjures up images of artifice, it's worth remembering that the word "plastic" comes from the Greek plastikos, meaning "to shape" or "to model". So it's not a question of transforming your body into artificial matter, but rather of sculpting and sublimating your natural forms while preserving their functionality.
Plastic surgery is a specific type of surgery that can change a person's appearance and ability to function. It is defined by two types of operation:
Reconstructive surgery: repairing for a better life
Reconstructive surgery aims to correct physical abnormalities and restore functionality to affected areas. It may include:
- Congenital malformations, such as cleft lips and palates or ear anomalies, which can affect speech or appearance
- Traumatic injuries, including burns, bites or accidents, requiring precise tissue reconstruction
- After-effects of medical treatments, such as breast reconstruction after cancer, to restore physical and psychological balance
Each reconstructive procedure is individually planned, with particular attention paid to safety, functionality and aesthetic result. Precision is essential to ensure optimal recovery and a natural look.
Cosmetic surgery: sublimate and harmonize
Aesthetic surgery, also known as cosmetic surgery, is used to modify and improve the appearance of normal body structures. The most popular procedures include :
- Breastaugmentation or reduction, for a proportionate and harmonious figure
- Rhinoplasty to reshape the nose and balance facial features
- Targeted liposuction to eliminate excess fat and reshape the figure
In addition to surgical interventions, some procedures are non-invasive, such as microneedling to rejuvenate the skin and skin peels to reduce scars, blemishes or imperfections, offering fast and safe results.
