Cosmetic Surgery

Neck lift

The neck area, although not usually the primary focus of most people requesting a facelift, is sometimes desired by patients who want to improve wrinkles and lines in the neck. Whether treating a younger or older patient, the best neck-lift results are when it is done in combination with a lower facelift.

Cheek Augmentation

Cheek augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that is intended to pronounce the cheekbones in a person's face. Prominent cheekbones have long been a sign of beauty in both men and women. People who want more prominent cheekbones can have an implant placed to rest on top of their cheekbones. A surgeon will usually make an incision in the upper mouth near the top of the gum line and slide the implants into place. Another method is to make an external incision near the eye, but most patients do not prefer this method since it can create a visible scar.

Liposuction

This procedure is to eliminate specific areas with pockets of fat from an otherwise normal-weight person. Result would be best when the skin elasticity is still good. Commonly performed on areas such as inner thighs, hips, buttocks, arms and abdomen. Under General Anesthetic and the procedure can take between 2 to 4 hours depending on the areas and the amounts of fat to be removed. Small incisions are made to insert small tubular instruments connected to suction that used to vacuum out the fat carefully.

Augmentation Rhinoplasty

Re-shaping of one’s nose by adding silicone prosthesis and/or removing tissue to achieve the desired shape or size. Augmentation and incisions are usually done from the inside of the nose. This surgery takes about 2 hours under LA or GA and patients would require day or ward care.

Recovery from surgery will take between 3 to 5 days. Full and complete recovery will take approximately 3 weeks.

Varicose Veins (Open surgery for saphenous vein)

Varicose veins are gnarled, enlarged veins. The word "varicose" comes from the Latin root "varix," which means "twisted." Any vein may become varicose, but the veins most commonly affected are those in your legs and feet. That's because standing and walking upright increases the pressure in the veins in your lower body.
