A Harmonious Profile
For some people breasts have always been the reflection of femininity. Used for nourishing the newborn infant, breasts become at puberty the sign of a physical transition to adulthood and, later, the object of sexual desire by the masculine gender. |

Why Consider Abdominoplasty?
Sometimes the stomach will sag due to a pregnancy, accumulated fat, muscle relaxation or quick loss of weight .
A bulging or sagging stomach can be embarrassing for both men and women; it can cause inconveniences that are more than purely cosmetic: lowered self-esteem, limited activities, difficulty in finding the right clothes, physical discomforts (irritation or odour in skin folds), etc. |

What Is Liposculpture?
Liposculpture goes beyond liposuction. Liposuction consists in vacuuming fat clusters, while liposculpture aims at harmonizing a person's profile or silhouette . Like a sculptor, the cosmetic surgeon removes a bit of fat here and there , eliminates excess fat pockets , fills in hollow areas through fat implants, and tones down irregularities thanks to internal lipotransfers-all of which is performed without cutaneous excision ! |

Where Do Expression Lines Come from?
Through repetition, certain facial movements-such as frowning, blinking and wrinkling of the nose-will strengthen the muscles they call upon. These muscular activities entail the creasing of the neighbouring skin and thereby cause strain injuries that result in expression lines. Crow's feet, forehead lines and wrinkles between the eyebrows are typical expression lines. |

A Means of Rejuvenating Your Looks
Eyes and their surrounding area contribute a lot toward defining the face's expression. Over the years, the skin of the upper and lower eyelids changes and stretches, thereby causing wrinkles. The muscles weaken and no longer hold back the fat cushions distributed around the eyes, which causes bags under the eyes and eyebrows. |

What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins, or varices, are dilated, sometimes tortuous, superficial veins that no longer fulfil their physiological role. Varying in size and calibre they can be symptomatic or not. |
