Dr Michaël Benoilid – Office of Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine

The office of Dr Michaël Benoilid is a private practice in Paris. It specializes in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic medicine. Surgery is performed through partnerships with Clinique Sainte-Geneviève and the Paris Saint-Joseph hospital foundation. The practice is located in the 16th arrondissement near the Eiffel Tower.

Accreditations and Professional Activity

Clinique Sainte-Geneviève is an approved class A clinic by the High Authority for Health (HAS). This certification confirms compliance with French safety standards for surgical facilities. Dr Michaël Benoilid is a reference practitioner at Paris Saint-Joseph for specialized reconstructive work.

Dr Michaël Benoilid holds a DESC in plastic and reconstructive surgery. He trains French and international plastic surgeons across Europe. He also serves as an expert trainer in aesthetic medicine for other doctors. This teaching role involves supervising interns within the Paris hospital system.

Specialties and Surgical Procedures

The clinic focuses on body contouring, breast surgery, and facial rejuvenation. Every surgical plan requires a BMI under 30 and a stable weight for three months. Patients must also stop smoking four weeks before and after any procedure.

Body Contouring and Silhouette Reshaping

Surgeons perform classic and mini-abdominoplasty to address excess abdominal skin. If skin quality is good, liposuction alone may work as a less invasive option. Standard tummy tuck recovery involves one night of hospitalization with discharge the next day.

Arm lifts (brachioplasty) treat excess skin on the inner arms after weight loss. When fat is the main concern, the clinic offers circumferential arm liposuction. This method avoids surgical scars. Daily nursing care is provided for 10 days after these procedures.

Breast and Reconstructive Surgery

Breast procedures include augmentation with implants, reduction, and mastopexy to lift sagging tissue. For patients with mammary ptosis, scar patterns are customized to the degree of sagging:

• Inverted L-shaped scars
• O-shaped scars around the areola
• Anchor-shaped scars for extensive lifting

Reconstructive services cover repairs after major weight loss and dermatological surgery. This includes removing cysts, lipomas, and skin tumors. For keloid scars, the clinic uses corticosteroid injections or laser treatments to improve tissue texture.

Aesthetic Medicine

Non-surgical treatments target facial rejuvenation and localized volume loss. The clinic uses hyaluronic acid injections to create a lifting effect without surgery. Botox injections treat wrinkles or reduce excessive sweating. These procedures are performed in the private office after a skin evaluation.

Diagnostics and Safety Protocols

Surgical safety is managed through required preoperative steps. Patients must have two consultations with the surgeon and one with an anesthesiologist. Specific diagnostic requirements ensure accurate treatment planning:

• Mammography or breast ultrasound within the last year for breast surgery
• Full blood panels and hormone checks for gynaecomastia
• Testicular ultrasound and chest imaging for male breast reduction

These protocols screen for underlying conditions and confirm patient readiness for general anesthesia. Surgery typically lasts between 90 and 150 minutes depending on complexity.

Services for International Patients

The care pathway for international patients begins with a video consultation. This lets the surgeon review medical documents and photos before the patient travels. Consultations and medical support are available in French and English.

Follow-up care spans one year. Video consultations are scheduled at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. This long-term monitoring tracks healing and ensures results remain stable after the patient returns home.
