The first consultation is above all a time to listen and talk. Dr Maxence Thomas discusses your request and your medical history, examines the area concerned, then explains the possible techniques, their benefits, limitations and risks. The aim is to make sure your expectations are realistic and that the benefit/risk balance favors surgery. A second consultation may be offered to refine your plan before any decision is made.
Yes. In France, every cosmetic surgery procedure is subject to a legal cooling-off period of at least 15 days between the delivery of the detailed quote and the date of surgery. This period allows you to make your decision calmly; no procedure can be scheduled before it has expired.
After the consultation, you receive a detailed, personalized quote. It specifies the proposed procedure and all the related fees and costs. The prices shown on this website are for guidance only: only the quote issued after your examination is binding.
Yes. For any procedure performed under general or regional anesthesia, or under sedation, a consultation with an anesthesiologist is mandatory before surgery. It reviews your state of health and your medication, and helps choose the most suitable type of anesthesia with you.
Yes, this is strongly recommended. Smoking increases the risk of complications, particularly healing problems and infections. How and when to stop, before and after surgery, will be explained during your consultation depending on the planned procedure.
Post-operative follow-up is provided by Dr Maxence Thomas during check-up appointments scheduled after the procedure, to monitor healing and how the result develops. If you have a question or concern between appointments, you can call the practice on +33 5 56 68 69 70.
The practice offers 3D simulation using Crisalix technology, particularly for the breasts and face. From a few photos, a 3D model of your anatomy lets you visualize different possible results and better express your expectations. This simulation is a decision-making aid for information purposes only: it does not guarantee the result.
