Dr. Nicolas Zwillinger is a plastic, reconstructive, and cosmetic surgeon known for his extensive experience in body contouring surgery and his advanced expertise in the treatment of lipedema.

He is the director of Clinique Paris Étoile, where he practices and welcomes patients to his cosmetic surgery clinic located in Paris’s 8th arrondissement, in a modern, safe, and highly specialized medical setting.

For over 15 years, he has built a practice centered on technical precision, patient safety, and medical excellence. He performs WAL (Water-Assisted Liposuction) using the original method, a tissue-preserving technique recognized for its precision and optimized recovery.

Dr. Nicolas Zwillinger was the first French surgeon to treat lipedema using the WAL method, beginning in 2018. This pioneering work has given him solid clinical experience and specialized expertise in managing this condition, which is still not widely recognized.

Expertise backed by a large medical team

Dr. Zwillinger’s practice is supported by a close-knit, experienced, and highly qualified clinical team: surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and specialized medical staff work in constant coordination at the Clinique Paris Étoile.

Care is never provided on an individual basis; it is collective, structured, and medical.
This approach ensures a high level of safety and a rigorous professional framework.

Thanks to strict protocols, careful selection of cases, and proven technical expertise, the clinic has an extremely low complication rate.
