Plastic Surgery Specialties

The clinic performs a wide range of aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Surgical plans address both cosmetic concerns and conditions requiring functional repair.

Facial Rejuvenation and Rhinoplasty

Facial procedures focus on restoring volume and correcting sagging tissues or deep wrinkles. For facelifts, the clinic offers several methods:

• Deep Plane Facelift for thorough tissue repositioning
• SMAS plication techniques
• Platysma plicature to address the neck area

Rhinoplasty services treat nasal aesthetics and breathing function together. Modern techniques preserve nasal anatomy while achieving the desired structural changes.

Breast and Body Contouring

The clinic offers breast augmentation, reduction, and mastopexy. For patients seeking a breast lift without implants, the Liacyr flap technique acts as a biological prosthesis. Mastopexy with implants may use the dual plane method or the Chiari L-technique.

Body contouring includes liposculpture to remove localized fat and various abdominal reshaping methods. The clinic offers MILA (Minimally Invasive Lipoabdominoplasty). This technique uses small incisions and tissue-retraction technologies, so recovery is faster than with traditional surgery.

Reconstructive and Intimate Surgery

Reconstructive services address deformities from congenital conditions or major weight loss, including post-bariatric cases. The practice also performs labiaplasty, most commonly for hypertrophy of the labia minora. Every surgical case involves a coordinated team covering anesthesia, nursing, and specialized monitoring.

Non-Surgical Aesthetic Treatments

The Cosmiatria department provides non-operative procedures for facial enhancement. These quick treatments work as standalone options or complement surgical results. Available services include:

• Botulinum toxin injections
• Dermal fillers for volume restoration
• Chemical peels
• Laser therapy

These treatments target skin quality and fine lines without the need for an operating room.

Recovery Support and Safety Protocols

Patient safety is managed through strict perioperative protocols, including rigorous asepsis and intraoperative monitoring. To support healing, the clinic offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a complementary treatment. This therapy helps tissue recovery after complex procedures in selected cases.

The clinic follows a structured postoperative plan. Specialists monitor swelling reduction and scar maturation over several months to achieve the best long-term results.
