Breast Aesthetics and Breast Surgery

Breast surgery is an important part of his clinical practice. Breast augmentation, reduction and lift are among the main surgical options.

For breast augmentation, chest structure, existing breast tissue and body proportions are considered. Implant selection depends on the patient's anatomy and desired changes.

Breast reduction involves removing selected amounts of breast tissue and skin while reshaping the breast.

Breast lift reshapes sagging breast tissue. In selected cases, different techniques can be combined according to tissue characteristics.

Gynecomastia surgery addresses excessive male breast tissue. The treatment method depends on the balance between fatty and glandular tissue.

Rhinoplasty and Nasal Aesthetics

Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose while considering facial proportions. The nasal bones, cartilage, bridge and tip are all evaluated.

A natural-looking nasal profile should remain compatible with the rest of the face. The forehead, chin and cheeks can also influence the overall planning.

Nasal tip surgery can address tip width, projection, angle and symmetry.

The nasal bridge and other structural features can also be modified according to the patient's anatomy.

Functional nasal concerns can be assessed as part of the consultation. Previous nasal surgery can also influence treatment planning.

Facial Aesthetics and Facelift

Facial aesthetics addresses age-related changes in skin and soft tissues. Facelift, eyelid surgery and lip lift are among the main procedures.

Facelift planning can include the cheeks, jawline and lower face. The degree of tissue laxity and skin quality influence the surgical approach.

Lip lift changes the distance between the upper lip and the nose. Lip shape and facial proportions are considered during planning.

Buccal fat removal reduces selected fat tissue in the cheek area. The patient's overall facial structure is considered before treatment.

Eyelid surgery can address excess skin and fat around the upper and lower eyelids.

Body Contouring and Liposuction

Body contouring includes liposuction, tummy tuck, arm lift and leg procedures.

Liposuction reduces selected fat deposits from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips and thighs. Fat distribution and skin elasticity are considered before treatment.

Tummy tuck addresses excess abdominal skin and tissue. Changes after pregnancy or significant weight loss can also be evaluated.

Arm and leg procedures address excess skin and soft tissue in the relevant areas.

Body contouring considers overall body proportions rather than only reducing fat from one area.

Post-Weight-Loss Body Contouring

Significant weight loss can leave excess skin in the abdomen, arms, legs and other body regions. Post-bariatric surgery addresses these changes.

Tummy tuck can address abdominal skin excess. Arm lift and leg procedures can be considered for excess tissue in the upper limbs and thighs.

Different areas can be treated separately or included in a broader surgical plan when clinically appropriate.

Stable weight and general health are important before post-weight-loss surgery. The patient's expectations and desired body contours are also considered.

Genital Aesthetics and Buttock Contouring

Genital aesthetics includes surgical procedures addressing the appearance or structure of selected genital areas.

Treatment planning considers anatomy, symptoms and personal expectations. Different patients may require different surgical approaches.

Buttock contouring focuses on changing volume and body proportions around the hips and buttocks.

The distribution of fat tissue, waist-to-hip proportions and skin characteristics can all influence the treatment plan.

Non-Surgical Aesthetic Treatments

Non-surgical aesthetic treatments include nose filler, lip filler, cheek filler, under-eye filler and chin filler.

Nose filler can temporarily alter selected aspects of nasal contour in suitable patients. Careful evaluation is necessary because it is not appropriate for every nasal anatomy.

Lip filler can enhance lip volume and contour. Chin filler can support definition of the lower face.

Under-eye filler can be considered for selected cases involving volume loss or hollowing beneath the eyes.

HydraFacial and other skin-focused treatments are also among the listed aesthetic services.
