Abdominoplasty (Tummy tuck)
Abdominoplasty is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen as well as surgically tighten the underlying muscles. An added benefit for the patients who decide to have the surgery is the partial or total removal of any preexisting surgical scars and stretch marks.
This procedure is not a weight loss technique; patients should be at normal or near normal weight before surgery. Abdominoplasty procedures vary in scope. The simplest procedure is performed in a young patient, at normal weight, with excellent skin tone. Frequently, this patient requires only liposuction, which is performed through small incisions (0.25 inch) placed in the pubic hair area and around the umbilicus (belly button). A more advanced condition with excess of lower abdomen and excess of fat requires a horizontal incision near the pubic hair area. This is called a mini-abdominoplasty, performed usually with liposuction of the upper abdomen. A full abdominoplasty is performed on patients requiring correction. The incision is low like the mini-abdominoplasty, but the skin is lifted more extensively and the weakened abdominal wall muscles are strengthened with permanent internal stitches. An extra incision is needed around the belly button, but it is not conspicuous after healing is complete.
After a full abdominoplasty, the patient remains in bed until the next morning. He or she will receive intravenous fluids until a liquid diet is resumed about 24 hours after surgery. For minor abdominoplasties, the outpatient can resume a liquid diet when he or she returns home. Some discomfort can be felt in the incision but it is alleviated with medication and as the patient begins to walk. Narrow bandages are removed from the incision after two days and the patient can shower after three days. Most stitches are internal and absorbable, but some skin stitches will be removed about five days after surgery.
Usually regular physical activity is resumed after two weeks. Strenuous exercise is prohibited for two to three months for the muscles to heal.
Women should not have an abdominoplasty if they want to become pregnant in the future. Some diminished sensibility may be present on portions of the abdomen, it usually disappears over several months, but some may last indefinitely near the scar.
Abdominoplasty with liposuction
The abdominoplasty in conjuction with the liposuction is done when the patient has excess fat in the stomach and hips. This combination can help contour the body.
Belt or circumferencial lipectomy or lower body lift
The lower body lift is a surgery done in the mid and lower body (abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks). It can be done in one or several sessions according to the patient's needs; it is always required to be performed with general anesthesia. The recovery takes around two or three weeks.
Botox 
Without the complications that any surgery may bring, Botox can reduce the lines between the brows caused by aging, for a limited time. The process, takes around ten minutes; it consists of tiny injections applied on the forehead area. One great benefit of Botox is that its effects last from 4 to 6 months, without the need to visit the doctor's office again.
These injections contain a toxin that paralyses the muscles that causes the wrinkles.
It is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Brachioplasty (arm lift)
The brachioplasty is a surgery performed to remove excess fat and loose skin located in the upper arm. Sometimes, the surgeon recommends the patient an arm lift in conjunction with a liposuction.
Breast Augmentation
Also known as mammoplasty, the surgery consists of an enlargement of the breasts. The objectives of breast augmentation range from increasing cup size to repairing the effects of weight loss or childbirth. This is achieved with surgically embedding a saline or silicone implant. The surgery can be performed on adult women of any age.
There are different ways to perform a breast augmentation surgery. The patients, along with the surgeon choose the technique that best fits the patient's situation. The incision can be made under the breast fold, in the axilla or through the belly button
After the breast augmentation, patients can control pain with medications. And a week after the procedure, the patient is able to go back to work regularly.
Breast lift 
Also known as mastopexy, the surgery is done to raise and reshape breasts that have been affected by pregnancy, force of gravity or other factors. The breast lift can also reduce the darker skin located around the nipple. Women with any size of breasts are candidates for a breast lift. Sometimes the mastopexy is performed along with breast implants, depending on the patient’s desires.
After the surgery, the patient may be uncomfortable for two days. The scars left by the surgery are visible but the bra may hide them. It is also common to have some loss of feeling in the breasts or nipples in the next months, however in some patients it may be permanent.
Breast, nipple reduction
The nipple reduction is a technique used to reshape the women’s nipple by shortening their extent. This surgery is common in women who have long nipples because of breast-feeding. The nipple can be reduced either by removing tissue from the center or removing a segment of the end of the nipple.
During the surgery, local anesthesia is needed. The recovery lasts less than a week.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction is technically called reduction mammoplasty and it is designed to make the overly large breast smaller. The patient seeking this type of surgery is often interested in relief of painful dragging sensations and backaches due to the weight of and bulk of greatly enlarged breasts.
Unlike augmentation, mammoplasty is an extended, more complicated operation. In the larger saggy breast it is impossible to move the nipple to a higher location and to remove the excess skin and breast tissue without scars. These fade to an acceptable degree and in most cases are placed around the nipple and downward so that even a demi-cup bra conceals them.
In most cases the sensibility of the entire breast is regained following surgery, however, the ability to nurse babies following a reduction mammoplasty is lost. Similar to the reduction mammoplasty is the surgery for elevation of the normally sized but sagging breast. This condition is known as ptosis of the breast. In this procedure no breast tissue is removed, on the contrary adding implants may increase breast volume.
However, the excess sagging skin is removed and the nipple is raised to a more normal position to produce a more natural looking breast.
Brow lift
Also known as forehead lift, the procedure corrects the lines in the area above the eyes by working on the muscles that cause these line expressions. Also in the surgery, the eyebrows are raised. Often the brow lift is done along with a facelift or an eyelid surgery.
After the incision, pain may be controlled with medications. Swelling may be discomforting in the week after the surgery. Some people may experience hair loss around the forehead lift; others may loose sensation in the incision area. Sun exposure should be avoided during the next months.
Cheek implants
Cheek implants may be performed in two different ways. These implants may be solid or porous. The surgery may be done with general or local anesthesia.
A week after the surgery the patient may return to work.
Chin implant
The surgery is done to improve the appearance of the chin. Usually a pocket created at this area inserts the chin implant that may be porous or solid. Also the surgery may be performed with general or local anesthesia.
Chin lipo & platysmal tightening
Most of the patients that decide to have a chin lipo are young adults, but that doesn’t mean the older ones can’t have it. However, this surgery is recommended for those who have undergone weight loss or aging. This procedure can be done along with the platysmal tightening (tightening of the neck muscle.) The patients will loose fat at the chin and the neck.
Dermabrassion, Chemical Peel and Injections
There are three ways of treating facial irregularities, blemishes and scars. Dermabrasion and chemical peel are surgical procedures. Fat injections are non-surgical procedures.
Dermabrassion involves smoothing of the skin surface by means of a power driven surgical diamond dust sander. Within several days a new layer of skin covers the treated area. Scars, fine wrinkles and pockmarks appear smoother and the skin has more even tone.
A chemical peel can minimize the effect of aging such as fine lines and wrinkling. On occasions, it can also be used to treat the effects of superficial acne. A chemical peel or dermabrassion should not be considered a substitute for a face-lift but rather a complimentary procedure often performed in conjunction with it. Just as a face-lift, it cannot eliminate fine vertical lines near the upper and lower lips or crow's feet around the outer edges of the eyes; neither can chemosurgery eliminate loose, sagging or excess skin.
Another modality for improving certain scars or wrinkles not corrected by face-lift procedures -especially around the mouth or on the lower forehead- is injectable fat or fillers. The patient's own fat is used and there are no scars. Usually the fat is aspirated from the abdomen or the hips and it is injected where needed, to correct defects or to reshape an area. The effects will last up to two years and can be repeated at appropriate intervals. Some other substances are used now for treating wrinkles and facial defects. Some of these are Dermalive, Restylane, Radiasse, Botox or Newfill.
Ears
The otoplasty consists in a surgery performed to situate the ears closer to the head or to reduce their size. The ear surgery is often done in children because by age of four, the ears are almost fully grown; in this case it is recommended that the child become part of the process. However adults are also candidates for the surgery. Depending on the patient's age, the doctor may recommend general or local anesthesia.
Usually, the scars are hidden in back of the ear and fade as time goes by. After the surgery, the patient should avoid any activity in which the ear may bend.
Eyelid surgery 
Eyelid surgery or blepharoplsaty is an operation that corrects droopy eyelids, bags and bulges around the eyes and deep crow's feet may improve. These conditions develop as a result of laxity of the eyelid skin and protrusion of fat around the eyes. In cases where these conditions are caused by medical problems such as allergy or thyroid disorders, the proper treatment may not be surgical. The age range for eyelid surgery is wide because of the various factors that predispose to the condition.
The operation begins by making hidden incisions in the upper and lower eyelids. The location of the incisions, with the excellent healing ability of the eyelid skin, almost always results in scars that are difficult, if not impossible to be seen months later. Through these incisions excess skin, fat or muscle is removed depending on the individual problem. Upon completion of the surgery the incisions are closed with very fine absorbable suture. Sometimes the lower lids can be treated through a tiny incision made on the inside of the lid, thus avoiding all visible scarring and shortening the recovery period.
Ideally, the patient may return to work or to social activity after a week or two. He or she can have a regular diet 12 hours after the operation and may take a regular daily bath. Exercises are allowed a month later and sun exposure and bending two weeks after that. Cold compresses over the eyes are recommended.
Face-Lift Surgery
Its technical name is Rhytidectomy, which means removal of wrinkles. It can be performed in conjunction with eyelid surgery or other cosmetic procedures. It is an operation that elevates and reshapes the facial skin and muscles to eliminate laxity and sagging, and helps to erase wrinkles.
The operation can be designed to correct problems in the neck, under the jaw, under the chin and in the cheeks. It can also be applied to the skin in the temporal regions and the forehead.
The operation involves lifting and removing excess skin. However, and equally important, part of the operation is the tightening and support of the underlying tissues and muscles, which helps give a longer lasting result. Another important aspect of this procedure is the removal of the excess fatty tissue found in the neck and jowls of many patients. This is removed with liposuction as a standard part of the modern face-lift operation. The lift is performed through incisions made in the hairline at the temples and extending down in front of the ear, around the lobe and up behind the ear ending in the hair in the back of the head. The skin of the face and neck is then undercut forward into the cheeks, downward and backward into the neck, freeing it so it can be drawn up, tightened and smoothed. The skin edges are tailored carefully to fit smoothly into the scalp and around the ear. Sometimes it is necessary to tighten the muscles of the neck further to better define the normal, more youthful neck and to "clean up" a firm and strong jaw-line. The incisions can be continued across to the forehead, undercutting the skin of the forehead and tightening the forehead to remove wrinkles.
The face-lift can leave scars, but they are located in areas hidden by the hair or ears. A patient can expect a face-lift to last seven to ten years, at which time the wrinkling and bagginess will reappear. A face-lift by itself will not eliminate superficial wrinkles or age spots, especially around the mouth, but these can be decreased by dermabrassion, chemical peel, or fat injections. This procedure is suitable for people in the 30s to 80s depending on their individual case.
Fat grafting for buttocks
The fat grafting on the buttocks increases the volume of the buttocks. Using your own fat, the surgeon can redistribute it on your body. First, the fat is removed and purified. Then it is inserted in the buttocks.
The patient must stop smoking a week before surgery. It is recommended also to take Vitamin C a month before.
Gynecomastia – liposuction
The surgery is perfomed on men that intend to reduce their breasts. This breast reduction can be caused by excess of fat on the area. Done through liposuction it removes fatty tissue and surgical resection removes fat and any glandular tissue.
Inner thigh lift 
The inner thigh lift can reduce the rubbing together of the inner thighs. Sometimes the inner thighs and the inner knees are worked together.
Laser resurfacing
Also called laser peel, the laser is used to remove problem skin areas. Laser resurfacing can help reduce wrinkles or scars. Local anesthesia is used in this procedure. In some cases laser peel is done in conjunction with another surgery. Sometimes it is also necessary to use a chemical peel to achieve the results. The risks carried by the surgery are few. However some patients may experience burns in the skin after the surgery.
Lateral thigh lift with buttock lift
This surgery is done in order to decrease irregularities in skin surface and correct the loss of skin elasticity located around the abdomen, thighs, lower back and buttocks. The lateral thigh lift with buttock lift is performed with general anesthesia. After the surgery, the patient may experience discomfort that can be reduced by taking medications.
Lip augmentation with fillers
The lip augmentation is done to increase the size of the lips of men or women. In the procedure the upper or the lower lip can be increased or both at the same time. Lip augmentation can be done with fillers made up of natural or synthetic materials. After the lip augmentation, the patient should avoid talking or chewing. Pain can be controlled with medications.
Lip reduction
Lip reduction is done to remove lip tissue. This procedure takes about 20 minutes and it can be done with different kinds of anesthesia. The following days, the patient should carefully choose what to eat in order to avoid an infection. The patient should not practice sports in the next two months.
Nasal Reconstruction
Surgery done to reshape the nose is called rhinoplasty. It is usually performed to improve appearance but can be done to correct deformities from injury or relieve obstruction and nasal congestion. The intention of rhinoplasty is to give the patient a pleasing nose that corresponds to his face not a nose often too short, snub and upturned. Improvement rather than perfection is what should be expected according to previous agreement with the surgeon.
The surgery can be done by adding or removing cartilage, placing tissue from other parts of the body or implanting synthetic material. There is no external incision and the surgery is short and usually completely uncomplicated. Nasal reconstruction can be combined with mentoplasty for those patients who have a drooping nose and a receding chin. There is usually only a mild discomfort following rhinoplasty. A splint is worn on the nose for several days and occasionally the nose is packed with Vaseline-coated gauze to support the internal structures during healing. The eyes may blacken because of normal bruising and there may be some midface swelling that lasts about five to ten days after surgery.
Nasolabial fold, filler material
The objective is to correct deep lines located between the nose and the mouth by injectable fillers.
Suction Lipectomy (Liposuction or Liposculpture)
Suction, lipectomy, liposuction or liposculpture is a procedure developed and refined in Europe in the early 1970's. The procedure is useful for the permanent removal of localized fatty deposits from hips, thighs, buttocks, knees, abdomen, and neck. It is not intended for people with generalized obesity.
This procedure is not a weight loss technique; patients should be at normal or near normal weight before surgery. Tumescent technique infiltrating a solution of normal saline, xilocane, adrenaline and bicarbonate, makes the procedure better and with less blood loss. Liposuction and liposculpture are safe and predictable. The patient may experience after the surgery swelling, pain and bleeding but these symptoms disappear over a couple of days. Results can be seen immediately after the operation, but more detailed and definite results can be seen after a few months.
Thigh lift
As the name says, the surgery is performed in order to stretch the loose skin around the thigh and the buttock. The thigh lift is done with general anesthesia.
