Qualified plastic surgeon recognised by the French Medical Council

Philosophy
Plastic and cosmetic surgery combines science and artistry. Yet a surgeon cannot rely on artistry alone: sound scientific principles, evidence and safety are essential. We take a sensitive approach to understanding each patient’s wish for change. This may mean a subtle, natural-looking result, a change in body shape or overall appearance, and sometimes a more significant transformation.
Dr Letertre, plastic surgeon, puts his expertise at the service of your well-being, offering personalised care based on attentive listening, precision and respect for natural harmony.
The consultation is a dedicated opportunity for patient and surgeon to talk. We listen carefully and offer suggestions and advice to help you make decisions and shape your goals: feeling like yourself again, bringing your appearance closer to the way you see your body, or exploring a change.
