Frequently asked questions

What is cosmetic surgery?

Cosmetic surgery is a branch of surgery that aims to modify or reshape certain parts of the face or body. Cosmetic surgery procedures at Claris Clinic are performed by highly qualified surgeons assisted by state-of-the-art equipment to ensure your safety and a harmonious result. There are various areas in which the surgeon can intervene, including :

  • Face and neck
  • The arms
  • The belly
  • The chest
  • Buttocks

Cosmetic surgery is performed on both men and women and is never a trivial undertaking. In most procedures an incision is required, so it is important to choose a reputable clinic such as Claris Clinic and an experienced surgeon. The main aim of this type of surgery is to address concerns that may cause significant distress and help you feel more confident. Complementing surgery, aesthetic medicine focuses on a range of non-surgical treatments designed to enhance well-being, such as injections, facial and body skin treatments or even permanent laser hair removal. The results achieved with aesthetic medicine are observable in the short to medium term and often require regular maintenance, unlike cosmetic surgery, which aims for a more definitive change.

Why have cosmetic surgery?

There are many reasons for undergoing cosmetic surgery, the most common of which is to enhance certain features of your body or face. But surgery can also have a far more functional aspect, helping patients with insecurities such as protruding ears, or breasts that are considered too small. Cosmetic surgery can have a significant positive impact on confidence and personal fulfilment. Beyond its psychological impact, the functional aspect provides relief for a patient whose daily life is impaired by a physical characteristic. This could be the case, for example, of a woman suffering from back pain due to an oversized chest, or a patient whose breathing is affected by the presence of a large nasal deviation. Finally, cosmetic surgery is known for its methods of slowing the onset of the signs of ageing. This relates to procedures that rejuvenate the appearance of the face or tone up certain parts of the body:

  • Eyelid surgery: this raises drooping eyelids to enlarge the eyes and give them a more youthful appearance. It can also significantly reduce under-eye bags.
  • Arm lift: the aim of this procedure is to tighten the skin around the arms, making them firmer and more toned.
  • Facelift: a facelift dramatically reduces wrinkles and fights sagging skin, which refreshes the face’s appearance.
How does cosmetic surgery work?
  • An initial consultation before the operation: whatever type of cosmetic surgery you are considering, it is essential to begin with an initial consultation. This meeting allows you to build a relationship of trust with the surgeon, share your motivations and expectations, and ask any questions you may have. The surgeon will respond openly and guide you towards options that suit your body and ensure balanced results. Your medical history will be reviewed, and the most appropriate surgical technique discussed. During this appointment, the surgeon may also take photographs for post-operative follow-up and provide a detailed estimate.
  • How the operation is performed: all Claris Clinic surgical procedures are performed at our clinic in La Hulpe. During the operation, the surgeon takes the utmost care, making your safety a priority. He operates in an ISO 5-certified room, in an aseptic environment that meets the strictest standards. The specialist uses careful, delicate techniques at every stage of the procedure, according to the decisions made beforehand.
  • After the operation: after surgery you will spend some time in a comfortable recovery area before being taken to a well-appointed room to rest, and you can usually return home the same day. The success of your cosmetic procedure depends not only on the operation itself but also on careful follow-up. It is important to attend all scheduled post-operative appointments so the surgeon can monitor your healing and overall health. During these visits, the specialist will also ensure you are adjusting well to your new appearance and will explain the best care practices for a smooth recovery.
