Dr Armand Azencot

Dr Azencot has developed a particular expertise in cosmetic breast surgery. He has performed breast augmentation for over twenty years, in cosmetic as well as reconstructive surgery.

He was among the first surgeons to develop the use of anatomical implants in cosmetic surgery, and that of fat transfer in breast surgery. This has given him extensive experience in the treatment of difficult breasts: malformations, asymmetry, complicated implants, breast reconstruction.
