Blepharoplasty
Also known as “Eyelid Surgery” is a safe and fast procedure to remove excess fat and skin from around the eyes. People who are experiencing sagging eyelids in their 20s and 30s, Eyelid Surgery can be a great option to correct them. Do you know that the procedure was the 2nd most popular in the UK in 2013 with a 14% increase from the previous year? You may need upper, lower or combined Blepharoplasty, depending on the nature and harshness of your excess eyelid skin. Remember, Blepharoplasty procedures differ in terms of their process and recovery.
Rhinoplasty
Also referred as ‘A Nose Job’ is designed to help those people who are sad because of their nose shape, size or form. There are 3 main types of rhinoplasty namely, Standard rhinoplasty (Full nose correction of the bridge, nose tip and alar bases), Septo-rhinoplasty (Full nose correction, including the alteration of a deviated nasal septum) and Rhino-tip (Correction of the tip and alar bases). These procedures are performed under general anaesthetic and can take more than hours, depending on the nature of the procedure.
Liposuction
It does not matter how much you exercise and diet, there can be some areas left with immovable pockets of excess fat that not going to shift. Due to busy and hectic life, our body suffers very much, gaining excess body fat at a shocking rate as we age, so our health at risk. Liposuction, a cosmetic surgery procedure can help sculpt the body by removing surplus fat from particular body areas, and leaving you a more defined shape. Liposuction can be performed on any area of your body, including buttocks, abdomen, chin, hips, thighs, breasts, knees and upper arms. The procedure can take 1 to 3 hours, depending on the number of body areas being treated.
Otoplasty
Ears are important features of the body, so their size and shape can have a great effect on our face. For example, large ears can affect our confidence while ears that sit far from the head can be uncomfortable and painful. Otoplasty, commonly referred as ear reshaping (Pinnaplasty) is a relatively simple cosmetic surgery procedure to reshape, resize, or hold back the ears. This procedure generally takes up 2 hours and can be performed under general or local anaesthetic, depending on the individual case.
Facelift
Huge weight loss or ageing can cause skin to lose both volume and softness. This result in the face drawing closer to the bone and often results in lines, sagginess and folds. A surgical face lift, also called as rhytidoplasty can tighten your skin around your face, neck and jaw-line, resulting in young and re-energized look. The procedures are custom-made to each patient as each face is different, so the correct procedure differs from patient to patient.
