Frequently Asked Questions
NHS procedures do not extend to overseas private surgery. French Sécu reimbursement does not apply abroad except in specific cross-border cases. Some international health policies do cover planned overseas surgery — check your specific policy. Dr. Fathi's team can provide detailed invoicing documentation.
With the vertical (lollipop) technique, scars run around the areola and down to the fold. With inverted-T (anchor), an additional horizontal scar sits in the natural fold beneath the breast. The Ribxcar protocol significantly reduces visibility over 6–12 months.
In many cases yes, particularly when the technique preserves the nipple-glandular pedicle. However, this cannot be guaranteed in all situations. If breastfeeding is a priority, raise it at your initial consultation so Dr. Fathi can adapt her planning.
The tissue removed does not regenerate. Functional relief is typically permanent. Significant weight changes or pregnancy can alter breast shape, but the fundamental reshaping persists long-term.
Yes. Dr. Fathi offers video consultations for European patients — discuss concerns, share photographs for initial assessment, and receive a preliminary treatment plan before committing to travel.
