Introduction:
Breast lift is designed to improve breast ptosis (droop). This surgery may or may not be
performed with breast augmentation (placement or implant). It is also done to increase
volume and improve breast shape.
Reasons for undergoing a breast lift:
1. Some of the candidates have breasts that are
pendulous and for a satisfactory size.
2. Breast that lack substance or firmness
3. Nipples and areolas that point downwards,
especially if they are positioned below the breast crease.
4. Loss of elasticity, weight loss, pregnancy and
breast –feeding affect the shape and firmness of the breasts.
Breasts that are large and heavy can be lifted but the results may not
be as long lasting as when it is done on smaller breasts. A breast lift
can be performed at any age. But one has to wait until breast
development has stopped. Pregnancy and breast-feeding may have
significant effect on the breasts; surgery will not affect your ability
to breast-feed. This should be discussed with your surgeon. (more…)

This word is derived from the language Greek. Greek: rhinos,
(“nose” + plastikos, “to shape”) is a type of plastic surgery that
is used to improve the function or appearance of a person’s nose.

Botox is a form of botulinum toxin.
Cosmetic physicians have been using botox for years to
successfully treat wrinkles. Botox is the brand name of a toxin
produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum. This can be used for
both men and women. We associate this toxin taken in large amounts with
food poisoning. Inspite of serious complications associated with botox,
scientists have discovered a way to put it to the use for humans. Small
diluted amounts can be directly injected into the area which causes
controlled weakening of the muscles. (more…)

Abdominoplasty:

Abdominoplasty also has another name “tummy tuck”. It is a cosmetic
surgery procedure to reshape and firm the abdomen. It involves the
removal of excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen in
order to tighten the muscle of the abdominal wall. This surgery is
performed mostly on or usually asked for by women. Most women are
finished with having children when considering this surgery. This
procedure is also used following a large volume weight loss, either
from diet, exercise or gastric bypass, in which the remaining excess
skin is removed. (more…)

Face lift is actually known as rhytidectomy. As people age, the effect
of gravity, exposure to the sun and the stresses of daily life can be
seen in their faces. Deep creases form between the nose and mouth; the
jaw line grows slack. Folds and fat deposits appear around the neck. A
face lift can’t stop this aging process. What the face lift operation
can do is improve the most visible signs of aging by removing excess
fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face
and neck. (more…)
