Creating a facial harmony with profiloplasty in Paris

To achieve a perfect profile, the nose, chin and cheekbones must be in harmony. In some cases, the nose may be too long and the chin too small, or vice versa. Profiloplasty is a procedure that harmonizes the profile by altering either the nose (rhinoplasty) or the chin (genioplasty), or both, as well as the cheekbones and, if necessary, liposuction of the double chin (in the case of a sagging jawline) and accumulated fat. Profiloplasty is the complete management of the patient's profile.

Profiloplasty can also be combined with other procedures such as :

• cheek lift surgery
• lip treatment: reduction of hypertrophic lips, augmentation of lips that are too thin.

WHY UNDERGO PROFILOPLASTY?

Patients undergoing profiloplasty at Docteur Bergeret Galley's Paris practice most often come to us because their noses look out of place. It is often necessary to perform nose surgery to soften the perception of the nose, but surgery on the chin, forehead and cheekbones can also balance and beautify the face.

PROFILE SURGERY PERFORMED BY AN AESTHETIC SURGEON

Profile surgery, also known as profiloplasty, can only be performed by a plastic surgeon after several discussions with the patient. These discussions are necessary to define the "modifications" to be made in order to optimize harmony between the different parts (upper, middle and lower) of the face.

FOLLOW-UP TO PROFILOPLASTY

Despite performed profiloplasty, combining rhinoplasty and genioplasty, the patient might need additional treatments in order to achieve a harmonious result for the whole face. In some cases, your plastic surgeon in Paris may need to correct other aspects of the face:

• A forehead that is too flat can be modified by fat injection;
• A base of hair implantation resulting in a very wide forehead (androgenic alopecia) can be corrected by a hair transplant;
• A defect in cheekbone projection can be adjusted by implant placement, facial lipofilling or, at the consultation appointment, hyaluronic acid injection;
• Lip projection and volume are essential to respecting the profile. Lip augmentation can be performed in the operating room by fat injection, or during a medical profiloplasty consultation by hyaluronic acid injection.

How much does a profiloplasty in Paris cost?

The cost of a profiloplasty in Paris varies according to individual needs and desires. However, we can estimate a cost of between €3,500 and €6,000 (depending on whether or not rhinoplasty is covered by insurance).
