About the Department of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery at Clinic de Genolier Genolier

The Department of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Clinic de Genolier Genolier offers the full range of services in the areas of its specialization. The department's plastic surgeons have a perfect command of the cutting-edge surgical techniques to correct defects of appearance. The most popular procedures include rejuvenation procedures, tumor removal and correction of defects after surgery, scar revision and correction of malformations. The department is headed by Dr. med. Laurent Smeets.

All procedures are preceded by the individual consultations, during which the doctor carefully listens to the wishes of the patient and offers optimal solutions to the problem. In the case of serious corrective surgical procedures, 3D modeling of the expected result is carried out.  To correct defects in the face and body, flap surgery and implants are mostly used. The wrinkles in the face and neck can be treated using high-quality fillers, as well as botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid injections.

When performing plastic surgery, the specialists set themselves the goal of improving the patient's appearance and increasing his self-esteem. Reconstructive surgery is aimed at restoring the lost or deformed (as a result of trauma or from birth) part of the human body, not only anatomically, but also functionally. The most common intervention in this field is breast reconstruction, which has become an integral part of breast cancer treatment. The procedure allows the doctor to restore the volume and shape of the female breast, and also significantly improves the patient's quality of life.

The team of the department's surgeons cooperates closely with doctors of various medical disciplines, including mammologists, orthopedists, traumatologists, general and vascular surgeons, etc.
