Wide Range of Plastic Surgery Procedures

Liposuction:

Improve body shape by removing exercise-resistant fat deposits with a tube and vacuum device. Can be performed using the tumescent technique, in which targeted fat cells are infused with saline containing solution with a local anesthetic before liposuction to reduce post-operative bruising and swelling. The tumescent technique is a relatively new liposuction method that can reduce post operative bruising, swelling and pain, because blood loss is minimized during tumescent liposuction. Common locations for liposuction include chin, cheeks, neck, upper arms, above breasts, abdomen, buttocks, hips, thighs, knees, calves, ankles.

For larger volumes of fat or for fibrous body areas, ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL) may be used. UAL is a new technique in which a ultrasound probe is inserted beneath the skin to "liquify" the fat before it is suctioned.

Breast enlargement:

Breast augmentation, technically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breast. By inserting an implant behind each breast, surgeons are able to increase a woman's bustline by one or more bra cup sizes.

Depending on the size of the breast, a pocket is surgically created either underneath the breast tissue or underneath the muscle underneath the breast. The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. Depending on the type of implant used, it can be performed either through a scar around the nipple, a scar underneath the breast, a scar in the armpit or very occasionally, through a scar around the belly button.

Facelift:

A full face-lift, or Rhytidectomy, is an operation to improve sagging facial skin, the jaw line, the deeper wrinkle lines, and the corners of the mouth. Facelift improve the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face. A facelift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, neck lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.

Neck Lift

A Neck Lift, or platysmaplasty is a surgery designed to reduce the loose look of sagging skin in the neck area and under the jaw line. Some patients who complain of having a fleshy neck, "jowls", plastysma or neck "banding", or a "turkey waddle" can benefit from this procedure. Many times patients choose to have a neck lift with their face lift procedure.

Rhinoplasty:

Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip. It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help relieve some breathing problems.

Upper and Lower Eyelids:

Eyelid surgery (technically called blepharoplasty) is a procedure to remove fat--usually along with excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes - features that make you look older and more tired than you feel, and may even interfere with your vision. However, it won't remove crow's feet or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under your eyes, or lift sagging eyebrows. While it can add an upper eyelid crease to Asian eyes, it will not erase evidence of your ethnic or racial heritage. Blepharoplasty can be done alone, or in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures such as a facelift or browlift.

Ears correction:

Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is usually done to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to reduce the size of large ears.

Abdominoplasty:

Abdominoplasty, known more commonly as a "tummy tuck," is a major surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. But bear in mind, it does produce a permanent scar, which, depending on the extent of the original problem and the surgery required to correct it, can extend from hip to hip.

Breast reduction (Mammaplasty):

Breast reduction is the removal of excess skin and breast tissue with re-positioning of the nipple to a higher situation. It is most frequently performed for heavy breasts that results in physical problems, rather than for cosmetic appearance.

Breast lift (Mastopexy):

Over the years, factors such as pregnancy, nursing, and the force of gravity take their toll on a woman's breasts. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag. Breastlift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts--at least, for a time. (No surgery can permanently delay the effects of gravity.) Mastopexy can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. If your breasts are small or have lost volume--for example, after pregnancy--breast implants inserted in conjunction with mastopexy can increase both their firmness and their size.

Tigh correction:

Arm, thigh and buttock lifts are surgical techniques to eliminate loose and sagging skin.

Buttocks correction:

Arm, thigh and buttock lifts are surgical techniques to eliminate loose and sagging skin.

Arm correction:

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove loose skin and excess fat deposits in the upper arm. With age, upper arm skin can become loose and flabby. Plastic surgeons will discuss brachioplasty with patients who want to tighten this skin and look as good as they feel. In some cases your plastic surgeon may suggest that liposuction be used alone or in conjunction with an arm lift to remove excess fat in the upper arms.
