Patient pathway

For all aesthetic medicine consultations, and for most cosmetic surgery procedures, patients are not reimbursed by the French social security system, so they can make an appointment directly with Dr Santini.

In cases where plastic surgery is likely to be covered by the CNAM (certain functional rhinoplasties, abdominoplasty, breast reduction, etc.), it is advisable to follow the "parcours de santé", by requesting a prescription from your GP.

How do consultations work?

For an initial consultation with Dr. Santini, there are no precautions to be taken beforehand. For other procedures, Dr Santini will detail any recommendations to be followed beforehand.

First consultation with Dr Santini

As a physician and plastic surgeon, Dr Christelle Santini always places great importance on the first consultation.

It always begins with a medical questionnaire, to find out about your medical history.

This is followed by a discussion to understand the patient's expectations and needs. Dr Santini's approach is psychological, and you should not hesitate to explain your wishes and the reason behind them.

A relationship of trust is essential between a patient and his or her doctor, and this means understanding and communicating well.

Dr. Santini then carries out an examination, with a dual clinical and artistic eye: the aim is to make a precise diagnosis, in order to determine the best solution to meet the patient's expectations. In the interests of transparency, Dr. Santini is always sincere, describing the limitations of any given technique if necessary. In extreme cases, she may refuse a surgical procedure she deems unsuitable or harmful to the patient, putting Hippocrates' founding principle of "Primum non nocere" back at the heart of the doctor/patient relationship.

Medical photos are usually taken with the patient's consent.

A quotation is provided, in order to offer a tailor-made solution that meets your expectations. It is accompanied by an informed consent sheet detailing any risks involved. These documents must be signed prior to any intervention.

For cosmetic surgery, Dr. Santini often prescribes additional tests: any anesthesia requires consultation with an anesthesiologist at least 48 hours before the scheduled procedure.

Second consultation with Dr Santini

For plastic surgery procedures, the law may require a second visit. This is an opportunity for the patient to ask any final questions. In all cases, a minimum of 15 days must elapse between the first consultation and the operation, the aim being to protect the patient and avoid any risk of a hasty decision.

Follow-up consultations with Dr Santini

Dr. Christelle Santini is committed to patient satisfaction, and always follows up on her procedures, whether in cosmetic surgery or aesthetic medicine. This enables her to fine-tune her treatments, as each patient reacts differently to the others.

Depending on the case, follow-up visits may be included in a package (post-operative follow-up, 15-day hyaluronic acid touch-up injection, etc.): this is then mentioned on the initial estimate, indicating the price of the procedures.
