Dr Samuel Struk runs a specialized private practice in Paris, France, in the 17th arrondissement. The clinic focuses only on aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery. All aesthetic procedures take place at Clinique Ambroise Paré in Neuilly-sur-Seine.

Aesthetic Breast Surgery
The clinic offers procedures to alter breast volume and shape. An imaging-based pathway precedes every surgery. This includes mandatory breast ultrasound and mammography to confirm patient health. The surgical plan is finalized over at least two consultations to prevent rushed decisions.
Key aesthetic procedures include:
- Breast Augmentation: Uses Motiva Ergonomix implants with SmoothSilk nanotextured surfaces. These implants mimic natural movement without the risk of rotation.
- Lipofilling: A natural, implant-free option. Fat is transferred from the abdomen or thighs to the breasts.
- Mastopexy (Breast Lift): Corrects sagging by removing excess skin. Most cases are outpatient procedures under general anesthesia.
- Breast Reduction: Addresses hypertrophy and sagging. Recovery typically takes two weeks before returning to work.
For all aesthetic cases, the clinic requires smoking cessation and stable weight for six months. These steps lower complication risk and improve scar healing.
Reconstructive Breast Surgery
Dr Samuel Struk specializes in complex reconstruction after cancer treatment. The practice uses micro-surgical flap techniques with the patient's own tissue rather than implants. A double micro-surgical team often operates at once, so anesthesia time stays shorter.
Reconstructive options available at the clinic:
- DIEP Flap: Uses abdominal tissue to create a new breast. This micro-surgical procedure typically lasts 4 to 6 hours.
- PAP Flap: Transfers tissue from the upper thigh when abdominal tissue is not suitable.
- Latissimus Dorsi Flap: Uses muscle and skin from the back for reconstruction.
- Areola Reconstruction: Restores the breast's natural appearance in the final surgical stages.
The reported failure rate for micro-surgical reconstruction is below 5%. The French health system often covers these procedures at convention rates.
Treatment for Gynecomastia
The clinic treats gynecomastia – the enlargement of breast tissue in men. This includes cases from weight loss or hormonal imbalances. Diagnostics include a clinical exam and blood tests for liver, kidney, and hormonal function.
Surgery takes about 90 minutes under general anesthesia. Surgeons use fine cannulas for lipoaspiration of the chest. A small incision removes the glandular nucleus. Most patients return home the same day. Results are typically final after three months, with no risk of recurrence.
International Patient Services
The practice coordinates care for international patients, especially for complex cancer reconstruction. Consultations are available in English and French. The first post-operative check occurs 48 to 72 hours after surgery. The surgical team stays reachable for questions about scar healing during recovery.
