About Xavier

‘The beauty of plastic surgery is that you can give someone back or optimize the contours of their body. This in good consultation with the client. In doing so, it is essential to paint as realistic a picture as possible of the outcome that can be expected. Only then can the client make an informed decision with me and we work toward an optimal and realistic result!
