Cosmetic surgery

After medical school, Dr. Alexandre Marchac completed his Plastic Surgery Internship in Paris, afterwards conducting two clinical fellowships, one with Dr. Françoise Firmin, who taught him ear reconstructions and face lift techniques with the Harmonic scalpel, the other being with Dr. Daniel Marchac, his father, an internationally renowned plastic surgeon, recognized for craniofacial surgery and his natural results achieved in cosmetic surgery.

In New York, US, he conducted laboratory research regarding the role of stem cells within wound healing. During this time, he spent a great amount of time with top American surgeons, renowned for their expertise and known-how.

He returned to Paris to become the Head of Clinic, first at Henri Mondor Hospital and then later on with Professor Laurent Lantieri, pioneer of face transplants, at Georges Pompidou European Hospital. As a member of Professor Lantieri’s transplant team, he actively participated in face transplants. Within this team, he was able to develop his microsurgery competences, notably in breast reconstruction by DIEP technique.

Consistently focused on innovation, he participates every year in several international conferences. Since 2011, he works as a specialist for the communication agency, AdGENCY Expert, which selects contributors who are passionate about their work and wish to share this enthusiasm.

Active member of the “Chaine de l’Espoir” (Hope Network) foundation, he leaves every year to serve humanitarian aid by performing ear reconstruction surgery. Ear malformations (microtia) are in fact rarely cured in third world countries, resulting in intense psychological suffering for children who are born without ears.

Currently, he divides his time acting as a consultant surgeon at the Plastic Surgery ward at Georges Pompidou European Hospital, where he performs face, ears, and breast reconstruction microsurgery, in addition to acting as a private cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon at 130 rue de la Pompe.
