Surgical and Aesthetic Specialties

The clinic offers surgical procedures for the face, breast, and body. Techniques are designed to minimize visible scarring and improve physical proportions.

Breast and Body Contouring

Breast procedures include augmentation with silicone implants, reconstruction, and reduction. Patients may also choose a breast lift (mastopexy) without implants to restore firmness. Body contouring services include several specialized methods:

• Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) – removes excess skin and fat while firming the abdominal wall.
• Liposuction and Liposculture – uses aspiration cannulas through minimal incisions to remove fat.
• Abdominal Etching – targets specific areas to create a "six-pack" appearance.
• Vaser Liposuction – technology used for abdominal marking to improve skin retraction.

Liposuction is often combined with fat transfer or facial contouring. This helps refine the overall silhouette.

Facial Rejuvenation

Facial surgeries target signs of aging or structural concerns. Bichectomy removes buccal fat pads through incisions inside the mouth, so there are no external scars. The results are permanent since these fat pads do not regenerate.

Eyelid rejuvenation (blepharoplasty) uses two main techniques:

• Standard Blepharoplasty – removes excess skin and laxity for a rested appearance.
• Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty – uses an internal eyelid incision to remove fat without visible scars.

The surgical department also performs otoplasty for ear reshaping and fat transfer to restore facial volume.

Non-Surgical Treatments

Injectable treatments provide immediate results with minimal downtime. The clinic uses hyaluronic acid micro-injections to add volume to the lips, chin, and cheekbones. This treatment also hydrates the skin on the neck, hands, and décolletage. Botox temporarily relaxes facial muscles, which helps prevent expression lines from forming.

Pre-Operative and Post-Operative Care

All surgical patients undergo thorough preparation. This includes normal laboratory results and a mandatory evaluation by the anesthesiologist. Patients receive a specific list of medications and dosing schedules before their procedure. The night before surgery, patients must bathe with antiseptic soap to reduce infection risks.

Recovery protocols are strictly monitored through follow-up appointments. Patients who undergo breast or body surgery must follow specific guidelines:

• Wear a compression garment or post-operative bra 24 hours a day for two months.
• Avoid all sun exposure for the first four months after surgery.
• Sleep in a semi-sitting position for at least one week following breast surgery.
• Perform waist-down baths only until the surgeon approves a full shower.

After a tummy tuck, patients should walk slightly bent forward for two days. This prevents tension on the abdominal incision and supports healing.
