Areas of excellence
Dr. Delay has developed various techniques in Plastic Surgery, and has developed several areas of excellence. As a Swiss patient, you can benefit from a high-quality care by a renowned international surgeon, invited as a lecturer in major international meetings, on these subjects of excellence, at the cost of a simple intervention, near you. The proximity of Lyon to Switzerland means that the consultation and the surgery organization are simplified. These areas of excellence are:
Facial rejuvenation surgery
Dr. Delay led the report of the French Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery 2017 entitled “The revival of face- and neck-lifts”, of which he is co-author of several chapters.
Implant breast augmentation
Dr. Delay co-directed the 2005 report of the French Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery on breast implants. In this work, he has participated in about ten chapters, and has mastered the field for many years.
Breast augmentation with fat grafts
Since 1998, Dr. Delay developed an important experience in breast augmentation surgery using fat grafts (lipomodeling).
Breast reduction surgery and breast ptosis correction surgery
Dr. Delay has developed different technical variants and techniques to improve the result, such as the posterior glandular flap which helps to obtain a very nice neckline. Moreover, this technique can be combined with lipomodeling, a technique he has developed, for which he has a very important experience.
Difficult secondary cases
Dr. Delay has acquired considerable experience in complex secondary cases, for which he is often called upon to give lectures: on re-operating complex cases of cosmetic surgery and complex and difficult cases of breast reconstruction.
Autologous breast reconstruction
Dr. Delay has developed original techniques of autologous breast reconstruction: by latissimus dorsi flap without implant, by fat grafting, by pectoro-mammary flap. The most recent development is the short scar dorsal flap, which gives very high quality results with a short scar of only a few centimeters. This technique will undoubtedly become, in the next few years “gold standard” in autologous breast reconstruction, surpassing TRAM and DIEP by the quality of the results and the reliability of the technique.

Surgery
Plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery
“Aesthetic concern must be an integral part in all our reconstructive surgical acts. In the same way, in aesthetic surgery, it is always necessary to keep a certain idea of reconstruction, reconstruction of the ideal aesthetic aspect lost or desired ideal. It is in this approach, both plastic and aesthetic, that lies the future of our specialty; and in order to give the best possible result for each patient” (Plastic and aesthetic surgery: one and indivisible. DELAY E. Réalités en chirurgie plastique 2016 ; 14 : 3-4).
It is here that all the talent and experience of the best plastic surgeons and the best aesthetic surgeons, can be used to give the best solution and the best possible result for each patient, while using small tricks, or technical improvements, adapted to each case.
The techniques used to correct the multitude of problems encountered by a plastic surgeon are constantly evolving, and it is important that the plastic surgeon is up to date of the most modern and effective techniques. Also, the involvement of the Plastic Surgeon in the medical scientific community, in Plastic Surgery, is fundamental for its maintenance at the best level of its discipline.
Aesthetic Medicine

Aesthetic Medicine has developed rapidly in recent years, as patients demand for corrections easy to perform that allows an early return to their activity.
The plastic surgeon is the best qualified to practice this procedures of aesthetic medicine because he knows perfectly the anatomy of the face and the action of the products on different facial muscles.
In our practice, aesthetic medicine uses three main products which are safe and give good results:
