Services
Breast Enlargement
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using saline or silicone implants. Ideal for patients seeking volume restoration post-pregnancy or cosmetic enhancement. Incision options and implant placement (submuscular or subglandular) are customized during consultation to achieve natural contours while minimizing visible scarring.
Breast Reconstruction
Post-mastectomy breast reconstruction restores natural breast shape using implants or autologous tissue. Available immediately post-cancer surgery or delayed reconstruction. Our surgeons prioritize symmetry and minimal scarring, with recovery periods varying based on procedure complexity and patient health status.
Gynecomastia Correction
Gynecomastia treatment reduces enlarged male breast tissue through liposuction and/or excision. Targets excess fat and glandular tissue while preserving natural chest contours. Requires preoperative assessment to rule out hormonal causes, with optimal results for healthy non-smokers.
Facelift
Facelift surgery addresses facial aging by tightening skin and underlying tissues. Combines incisions around the ears with fat grafting or fillers for comprehensive rejuvenation. Recovery involves one week off work with activity restrictions for 3-4 weeks to ensure optimal healing.
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery corrects sagging by removing excess skin and repositioning nipple-areola complexes. Addresses breast ptosis while improving symmetry and contour. Scarring patterns vary based on severity, with most patients resuming normal activities within one week post-surgery.
