Plastic surgery: a calling for Dr. Michele Zanzi. “Already at a very young age, I found changing physical appearance to be fascinating. Medical studies was thus a natural route to take. At age 27, he earns his medical degree and begins his training as a specialist.

During his post-graduate studies, Michel Zanzi traveled from Switzerland to the United States, drawing inspiration from eminent plastic surgeons there. Immersed in their universe, he observed and memorises their gestures. This wealth of references ultimately became the foundations of his practice. In 2004, once back in Lausanne, he worked for Professor Kesselring for a year. This experience opened the door to the Centre for Plastic Surgery (Centre de Chirurgie Plastique) in Lausanne, where he set up his own offices.

From that time onwards, his patients defined the evolution of his practice. To best serve them, he closely followed the advances in surgical techniques, developing a process that respects the psycho-social and physical integrity of each and every patient. Bolstered by his twenty years of experience, he has now created the Zanzi Clinic. “This project belongs to my former, current, and future patients. I'm only here to make it a reality.”

The protegé of Drs. Meyer and Kesselring - both world-renowned pioneers in plastic surgery who, together, founded the Centre for Plastic Surgery of Lausanne (Centre de Chirurgie Plastique de Lausanne) - Dr. Michele Zanzi is one of the rare Swiss-French surgeons who is entirely dedicated to cosmetic surgery. With the Zanzi Clinic, he combines leading-edge expertise with a highly personalised approach.

A sharp eye for detail and truly solid relationship of trust: these two values link Dr. Zanzi and his team. These seasoned experts have complementary skills and a joint vision of their profession.
