This surgery removes or transfers (fat graft) the localised fat deposited in various areas of the body and remodels (liposculpture) the shape and contour of these areas. The required incisions are very minor and discrete. This procedure is increasingly common today and provides extremely satisfactory results which can be used to simultaneously improve several areas of the body when performed in the safety of appropriate surgical facilities. The advent of liposuction has allowed modern plastic surgery to advantageously use the adipose tissue removed during liposuction to replace lost volume in areas such as the face or the back of ageing hands.
Silicone implants for the breasts, buttocks, male pectorals and leg calves. These silicone implants enhance the harmony and beauty of the body’s outline and contribute to improve a person’s self-image and increase overall self-esteem. They define volume and provide better projection of the corrected body areas. The current redesigned state-of-the-art implants offer greater safety, reliability and ease of insertion. These surgeries are now performed at day clinics, only require sedation and local anaesthesia and the implants no longer need to be replaced after 10 years.
Plastic surgery for eyelids corrects the problems of excess skin, fat and muscular laxity of the eyelids, thus reducing the puffy-faced “tired” or “weepy” caused by swollen eyelids. The procedure also improves the shape of the lower eyelids (generally baggy and drooping) and considerably rejuvenates the face in the surrounding area of the eyes.
This surgery enhances facial harmony and appearance but may also be recommended to correct nasal septum deviation or nasal obstructions that are the cause of conditions such as sleep apnea and snoring in mouth breathing persons.
A lifting procedure should comply with the patient’s requirements. These requirements shall define the parameters for the procedures to be performed. The success of facial surgery is gauged by how natural looking and long-lasting the results are. However, this does not mean that all the characteristic features of a person’s face should be removed but rather that these should appear rejuvenated without any indication of surgery. These surgeries are extremely complex and each patient will require a unique procedure intended to reduce expression lines, laxity and to restore volume lost over the course of the natural ageing process using fat grafts or hyaluronic acid techniques.
Abdominoplasty/Abdominal Dermolipectomy. This surgery is intended for persons having localised fat in conjunction with skin and muscular laxity in the lower body who wish to improve the contours of this area. It may advantageously be performed together with breast surgery and liposuction. This procedure is frequently sought by women after several pregnancies or by persons following major weight loss such as after bariatric surgery.
The aged appearance of hands is a frequent complaint of people seeking plastic surgery. It is currently possible restore a more youthful appearance to the back of hands by replacing lost volume and tissue through grafts of adipose tissue taken from the patient’s abdominal area.
This type of plastic surgery is intended to reduce or increase the size of breasts and reduce sagging and/or nipple ptosis. It remodels the breasts by providing a natural shape and appearance while leaving only the slightest incision scars. It can be done jointly with liposculpture and abdominoplasty.
