1. Invasive procedures
FACE
Rhinoplasty - Nose correction a plastic surgery procedure for correcting and reconstructing the form, restoring the functions, and aesthetically enhancing the nose.
During rhinoplasty a plastic surgeon, an otolaryngologist or a maxillofacial surgeon, creates a functional, aesthetic, and proportionate nose by separating the nasal skin and the soft tissues from the nasal framework, correcting them as required, suturing the incisions and immobilizing the corrected nose to ensure the proper healing of the surgical incision.
There are various types of nasal correction different than open rhinoplasty. In any case, a functional examination as well as a careful study of the facial features from all angles are required to determine what kind of correction should be performed.
Rhytidectomy - Face lift a type of cosmetic surgery procedure used to give a more youthful facial appearance and to improve self-confidence. Multiple surgical techniques be applied for a face lift.
Rhytidectomy usually involves the removal of excess facial skin, with or without the tightening of underlying tissues, and the redraping of the skin on the patient's face and neck.
On the contrary, Express Face Lifting is a fast performing and recovery procedure, which involves a strong facial tissue rejuvenation and can be performed under local anesthesia and a light sedation.
Blepharoplasty - Eyelid surgery a plastic surgery operation for correcting defects, deformities or disfigurations of the eyelids as well as for aesthetically modifying the eye region of the face.
The operative goals of a blepharoplastic procedure are achieved by eliminating excess skin from the eyelid(s), smoothing the underlying eye muscles, tightening the supporting structures, and resecting and re-draping the excess fat of the retroseptal area of the eye, in order to produce a smooth anatomic transition from the lower eyelid to the cheek.
Blepharoplasty can be performed in conjuction with other interventions such as face lift. An adequate preoperative analysis is necessary before proceeding.
Otoplasty - Ear surgery denotes procedures for correcting the deformities and defects of the external ear and for reconstructing a defective, or deformed, or absent external ear, consequent to congenital conditions and trauma.
The otoplastic surgeon corrects the defect or deformity by creating an external ear that is of natural proportions, contour and appearance, usually achieved by the reshaping, the moving, and the augmenting of the cartilaginous support framework of the external ear.
BREAST
Mastopexy - Breast Lift a plastic surgery procedure for raising the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour.
The usual mastopexy patient is the woman who desires the restoration of her bust (elevation, size, and contour), because of volume losses of fat and milk-gland tissues, and the occurrence of breast ptosis. The degree of laxness of the suspensory Cooper’s ligaments and of the breast skin-envelope (mild, moderate, severe, and pseudo ptosis) determine the applicable restorative surgical approach for lifting the breasts.
Breast Augmentation the surgical placement of breast implants or fat-grafts to increase fullness and improve symmetry of the breasts of a woman, or to restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy.
The surgical approach effects the global augmentation of the breasts using either an implant filled with saline-solution, or an implant filled with silicone-gel; moreover, the surgical augmentation approach can include the application of transplanted autologous skin flaps harvested from the woman’s body. The fat-graft transfer approach augments the size and corrects contour defects of the breast hemisphere with grafts of autologous fat tissue, drawn from the woman’s body.
Breast Reduction the plastic surgery procedure for reducing the size of large breasts by removing excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a breast size proportionate to the woman's body and to alleviate the discomfort associated with overly large breasts.
The surgical techniques and praxis for reduction mammoplasty also are applied to mastopexy (breast lift). Moreover, the correction of gynecomastia ('woman's breast') is the analogous, enlarged male breast-reduction surgical procedure.
