but I also perform all body contouring and facial surgical procedures.
Dr Jean-François Pascal is one of the leading figures in plastic, cosmetic, and reconstructive surgery in France and worldwide.
Based in Lyon since 1992, he brings to his patients more than 38 years of expertise, covering facial surgery (facelift, eyelid surgery/blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty), breast surgery (augmentation, reduction, lift/mastopexy), and body contouring (liposuction, tummy tuck/abdominoplasty, body lift, buttock lift and augmentation).
He is also recognised among French specialists in the surgical treatment of lipoedema, a chronic and often misunderstood adipose tissue disorder, which he addresses using advanced liposuction techniques.
Many patients from the United Kingdom – including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Liverpool, Bristol, Leicester, and Newcastle – travel to France, and particularly Lyon, to benefit from his internationally recognised expertise.
The city is easily accessible thanks to Lyon–Saint Exupéry international airport and the TGV high-speed rail station at Part-Dieu, making it a trusted destination for British patients seeking cosmetic surgery abroad in France.
This reputation is also built on a prestigious training path. Having studied under professor Ivo Pitanguy in Brazil, a legendary figure in plastic surgery, Dr Pascal developed expertise that today makes him one of the most sought-after surgeons in Europe to teach advanced techniques.
His work is regularly presented at international congresses (Brazil, India, Lebanon, Italy) and published in leading scientific journals.
To welcome patients from England and across the UK, he works with professional translators, ensuring that language barriers are never an obstacle to fully understanding the surgical plan.
Dr Pascal welcomes his patients at his practice located at 13 quai du Général Sarrail (Lyon 6ᵉ), an elegant Haussmann-style setting combining discretion and refinement.
Procedures are performed at Clinique du Parc, a leading private facility equipped with state-of-the-art technology and specialised teams, guaranteeing the highest standards of safety.
Dr Pascal is regarded as an expert cosmetic surgeon for facelift and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), procedures designed to smooth wrinkles, rejuvenate the face, and restore a natural expression.
He also performs rhinoplasty (nose reshaping surgery) for patients seeking balanced and harmonious facial proportions.
As a specialist in body contouring surgery in France, Dr Pascal is recognised for his mastery of liposuction and mega-liposuction, as well as highly technical procedures such as calf and ankle liposuction. These techniques refine the silhouette by removing stubborn fat deposits.
He is also one of the French experts in the surgical treatment of lipoedema, using advanced lipomatic-assisted liposuction to achieve precise fat removal and enhanced skin retraction.
Dr Pascal is an international reference in body lift surgery in France following massive weight loss. These interventions – often described as extreme reconstructive surgery – are performed on patients who, after bariatric surgery (gastric sleeve, bypass) or intensive dieting, present with considerable skin excess.
The 360° circular body lift allows, in a single operation, to tighten the abdomen, reshape the waist, lift sagging buttocks, and smooth the outer thighs.
With more than 1,000 body lifts performed, Dr Pascal is one of the few surgeons in Europe with such extensive experience.
Dr Pascal is often considered a leading breast cosmetic surgeon in France, performing:
Internationally recognised as a pioneer of buttock lift surgery in France, Dr Pascal developed the Pascal–Lelouarn fat flap technique, taught worldwide, which achieves natural and long-lasting results without implants.
He also performs buttock augmentation with intramuscular implants, recommended when there is insufficient fat for lipofilling. This method ensures stable and durable projection, with a discreet scar hidden in the intergluteal crease.
Dr Pascal’s practice is built on detailed morphological analysis, highly precise surgical execution, and an unwavering commitment to natural and balanced results.
This expertise has led him to be regularly featured in the specialised press and recognised by the international scientific community. His presentations at major congresses, his publications in leading journals, and numerous articles dedicated to his work confirm his status as a worldwide reference in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery in France.
Dr Jean-François Pascal welcomes patients by appointment at his Lyon practice, to discuss their cosmetic or reconstructive surgery project with complete confidence.
British patients travelling from the UK benefit from comprehensive support, including assistance with their stay in Lyon and the availability of translators, ensuring clear communication at every stage of their journey.
