Dr Vincent Hunsinger
Dr Hunsinger is qualified in aesthetic, reconstructive and plastic surgery, which he practises exclusively.
Among his various specialties, he has recognised expertise in breast surgery, and in particular reconstructive surgery by autologous tissue transfer, which he acquired notably under Professor Lantieri, a plastic and aesthetic surgeon at the Hôpital Européen Georges Pompidou in Paris. Wherever possible, he favours natural surgical techniques, without the addition of any foreign body (implants), and regularly performs revision (corrective) surgery.
He is also experienced in facial surgery techniques, which he acquired under Dr Yann Levet, a leading recognised specialist in plastic surgery of the nose. He thus regularly performs closed rhinoplasty, which helps minimise post-procedure scars.
Finally, Dr Hunsinger is well versed in body-contouring surgery, particularly after weight loss, thanks to his experience setting up a reconstructive surgery unit at the Antoine Béclère hospital in Clamart alongside Professor Dagher.
He is the founder of the Rive Droite Paris Étoile consultation practice and directs the Centre Chirurgical des Princes, an independent contracted clinic with a comprehensive surgical facility, notably for plastic and aesthetic surgery.
Listening and support
Dr Hunsinger supports patients throughout the entire procedure, from the first consultation to the post-operative follow-up visits. He gathers their expectations, their questions and any doubts they may have about the procedure, the aim being to understand the concern and to grasp the discomfort it causes as a whole. He can also warn them, in full transparency, about the possible risks and any unrealistic expectations. Based on this open dialogue rooted in listening, he can then advise them towards the type of procedure best suited to the desired result.

As a general rule, Dr Hunsinger favours, wherever possible and where the patient’s anatomy allows, natural methods, non-invasive, with no foreign body, such as autologous fat transfer for a discreet, authentic result.
In addition to plastic and reconstructive surgery, Dr Hunsinger also performs aesthetic medicine procedures (Botox injections, hyaluronic acid, chemical peels, etc.) to prevent and soften the signs of ageing.
