Dr. Sauvageau
Board-certified plastic surgeon on the south shore of Montreal, MD
With more than 20 years of experience in the health care sector, Dr. Sauvageau began specializing in cosmetic surgery in 2008. She worked for many years at Charles-LeMoyne Hospital as a plastic surgeon, specifically in breast reconstruction, hand surgery, microsurgery and skin cancer.

A mother of three young children, Dr. Sauvageau chose to continue her practice in a private setting for better work-family balance. Passionate about cosmetic surgery, she is delighted to join the large family of Dr. Schwarz’s renowned Clinique K and share her substantial expertise with clients on the South Shore of Montreal.

As a plastic surgeon, athlete, and mother of three, Dr. Sauvageau has a deep understanding of how the body can change post-pregnancy, and how difficult it can be to recognize yourself as a woman and regain your femininity. She wants to make her patients feel good about their bodies.“When a patient tells me, 'I feel like myself again’', this is the best gift I can get from my career.'
