Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgeon
Medespoir Clinic, Tunis & Paris
Dr. Youssef Gam is a plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon trained at leading institutions in Tunisia, France and South Korea. He is a member of the SOFCPRE (French Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery) and provides lipoedema consultations and surgical management in both Paris and Tunis.
What sets him apart: he has developed an exclusive lipoedema treatment protocol that combines three cutting-edge technologies — a combination not offered by any other clinic in the region. As a result, he sees patients from across the UK, Ireland, the US, Canada and Australia.
His ambition is to contribute to a new generation of lipoedema surgery — one that combines deep medical understanding, surgical precision, and advanced three-dimensional body contouring.
BC Academy Certified Surgeon
The first surgeon from the southern Mediterranean and the Arab world to earn this leading international certification in advanced body contouring.
Dr. Gam is the only surgeon in the southern Mediterranean region to combine these three technologies in a single lipoedema protocol. This Medespoir exclusive makes it possible to treat the condition globally, rather than area by area as is typically done in Europe or the US.
Ultrasound energy that selectively dissolves the fibrous fat typical of lipoedema without damaging the surrounding lymphatic tissue. Less bleeding, faster recovery.
A vibration system that eases fat extraction while actively stimulating lymphatic circulation — essential for addressing the root cause of lipoedema.
Radiofrequency energy that tightens the septa and firms the skin after extraction, eliminating the risk of recurrence and preventing skin laxity.
Advantages over conventional methods:
Lipoedema surgery is not simply about removing fat. Each patient presents with a unique distribution of abnormal adipose tissue, skin quality, body proportions, and stage of disease. Therefore, surgical planning must be highly individualized.
Building on his recent advanced training in Colombia — a country internationally recognized for its expertise in high-definition aesthetic surgery — Dr. Gam has integrated the Total Definer philosophy into his practice. This comprehensive approach treats the entire body as a coherent three-dimensional structure.
Developed by Dr. Alfredo Hoyos, Total Definer is a holistic approach rather than a single technique. Applied to lipoedema, it means looking beyond the volume of fat to be removed and considering the patient as a whole: her symptoms, her mobility, her skin and the balance of her entire silhouette. The philosophy can be summed up in one sentence:
“Combining surgical precision, advanced techniques, and artistic body contouring to improve patients’ quality of life.”
Dr. Gam co-authored a book devoted to lipoedema, alongside a specialist angiologist and a journalist, to raise awareness of a condition that remains widely misunderstood. The book highlights the long diagnostic journey many patients face and the importance of comprehensive, medical and human, care.
International training and professional exchange are an integral part of Dr. Gam’s approach. Working alongside experienced surgeons from different countries allows him to continuously compare techniques, refine his surgical planning, and incorporate relevant advances into his practice.
Today, Dr. Gam provides lipoedema consultations and surgical management in Paris and Tunis, with every patient undergoing an individualized assessment before any surgical indication is made.
"After years of suffering and treatments that didn't work, Dr. Gam's technique changed my life. My legs look normal again and the pain has eased considerably."
"I travelled to Tunisia after consulting several specialists back home. The value for money is unmatched, and my results at the one-month mark went beyond every expectation."
"I came from Manchester because I simply couldn't afford the surgery privately at home, and the NHS waiting list wasn't an option. Thanks to Dr. Gam, my calves lost 8 cm and I no longer have that constant ache."
"I'd been going back and forth with doctors in London for months with no real solution. Finally, an answer that actually worked. Dr. Gam in Tunisia was excellent — the care, the follow-up, the results."
Dr. Gam doesn't only treat lipoedema. His international training allows him to offer a full range of cutting-edge aesthetic and reconstructive procedures.
