Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation surgery is a popular cosmetic option that helps women achieve larger and fuller breasts. It can change the shape and size of the breasts and boost self-esteem and self-confidence. It is typically a safe and effective procedure often performed outpatient.
It involves the use of breast implants or fat injections to work towards achieving the desired results. The degree of augmentation depends on the patient's needs and desires, and the type of implant used plays a big part in the outcome. The procedure is often done with the help of a skilled plastic surgeon.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Breast lift mastopexy plastic surgery is a type of procedure that is performed to achieve lifted and more youthful-looking breasts. This surgery removes excess skin, repositions underlying tissue, and reshapes the breast to give the patient a more pleasing and youthful-looking bust line.
While this procedure can reduce the size of the breasts, its primary goal is to lift them and give them a more youthful appearance. This procedure is also known as breast mastopexy, mastopexy augmentation, and/or mastopexy reduction.
This type of surgery is suitable for women with sagging breasts after pregnancy, weight loss, or other age-related changes. This surgery can improve patients' appearance and boost their confidence and self-esteem.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Tummy Tuck Abdominoplasty is a form of plastic surgery designed to change the lower abdomen and waist shape. The procedure involves removing excess skin and fat, tightening the abdominal wall, and occasionally repairing the abdominal muscles. The result is a flattening of the abdomen and an improved waistline contour.
This procedure can benefit those with weakened or stretched abdominal muscles caused by pregnancy, those with excess skin resulting from significant weight loss, or those wishing to have a smoother, more contoured stomach. With Tummy Tuck Abdominoplasty, many patients experience a noticeable improvement in their appearance and renewed self-confidence.
Rhinoplasty
This surgery can be used for medical and cosmetic purposes and alters the shape of the nose by reshaping or reducing the size of the nose or raising or lowering the bridge of the nose. The outcomes depend primarily on the patient’s needs, including making the nose wider, narrowing the nostrils, or changing the nose and upper lip angle. After the initial swelling, the changes made to the nose should be evident within a few weeks.
Liposuction
It is a medical procedure to remove excess fat deposits from specific body areas. During liposuction, a small metal tube is inserted into the body through a few small incisions, and the fat is suctioned out.
Liposuction is commonly used to reduce stubborn fat in the stomach, hips, buttocks, and legs. It can also help create better proportions among different body parts, such as the bust and waist, and can be used to improve body contour and shape.
Forehead or Brow Lift
A forehead or brow lift is a plastic surgery procedure that can help correct the signs of aging on the forehead and brow area. The forehead is lifted and reshaped during this procedure to create a youthful look. It can address excessive wrinkles, a sagging brow, hooding of the eyes, and other issues.
In addition to giving a more youthful and refreshed look, this surgery can improve visibility problems associated with drooping eyelids. The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours, and many patients will go home the same day.
Recovery time is typically quick, and patients should be able to return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks. Results usually last for several years, although age and lifestyle can affect the longevity of the results.
Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion plastic surgery is a type of facial surgery used to remove deep wrinkles, sun damage, and scars. It is a treatment that uses a concentrated stream of equipment, such as an oscillating diamond drill, which is used to carefully reduce the top layer of the skin to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
This cosmetic procedure can also help to reduce age spots and even out the complexion while also helping to tighten the skin and make it look younger. This type of facial surgery also allows for increased blood flow to the skin, which can help improve the health of your skin as well. Dermabrasion plastic surgery can help you achieve a much younger and brighter appearance.
