Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure that aims to restore the shape and appearance of the breast following a mastectomy (the surgical removal of the breast, typically due to cancer) or, in some cases, after a lumpectomy. It can also be used to correct congenital deformities or damage to the breast resulting from trauma.
 
This procedure can be performed either at the time of the mastectomy or as a delayed option. While most reconstructions are done immediately, certain surgical findings may require postponing the reconstruction until after the completion of any necessary radiation treatment.
 
Typically, breast reconstruction is carried out in 2 to 3 stages. The first stage involves creating a breast mound and concludes with the reconstruction of the ni**le-ar**la complex.
 
Reconstruction can be performed using autologous tissue (the patient's own tissue), prosthetic implants, or a combination of both methods, depending on individual needs, additional therapies, and patient preferences.
 
All available options will be discussed in detail during your consultation to determine the best approach for your situation and to set realistic expectations for the outcome.

15/09/2025

Fat grafting is a surgical procedure where fat is removed from one part of the body (through gentle liposuction), purified, and then injected into another area to restore volume, improve contour, or enhance appearance.
 
•Common Uses of Fat Grafting
Face: to restore youthful volume, soften wrinkles, and improve contours (e.g., cheeks, under-eyes, temples).
Breast: Cosmetic augmentation (modest, natural increase in size). Breast reconstruction (after mastectomy or lumpectomy). Correction of irregularities after implant surgery.
Buttocks: for natural contouring.
Hands: to rejuvenate by restoring volume and reducing vein/tendon visibility.
Scar & contour deformities: to soften and correct irregularities after trauma or surgery.
 
•Benefits
Uses the patient’s own tissue (no synthetic filler, low risk of rejection).
Natural look and feel.
Long-lasting results (although not all transferred fat survives).
Improves both donor and recipient areas (removes unwanted fat and enhances another).
 
•Considerations
Not all transferred fat survives — typically 50–70% remains permanently. Surgeons may slightly overfill to account for this.
Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results.
Results vary depending on individual healing, lifestyle, and the treated area.
Recovery involves some swelling and bruising at both donor and recipient sites.
 
•Risks
Fat resorption (loss of some volume).
Cysts or small lumps (if fat doesn’t integrate properly).
Infection or bleeding (rare).
Fat necrosis (areas where fat doesn’t survive).
Very rare but serious: fat embolism (especially with large-volume transfers).

Breast reduction surgery is a procedure designed to reduce breast size by removing excess tissue. This surgery often includes a breast lift and a reduction in the size of the ni**le and ar**la. There are several reasons why individuals may seek breast reduction, including:
 
•Dissatisfaction with breasts that are too large or heavy
•Asymmetry or developmental abnormalities in breast shape
•Relief from physical symptoms such as back pain, neck pain, and poor posture
 
Improving these symptoms can enhance quality of life by reducing discomfort, increasing the ability to exercise, and boosting self-esteem.

27/06/2025

An otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the shape or prominence of the ears. This operation can also help make the ears more symmetrical if they have different shapes. Otoplasty can be performed on children and adults, but the ideal time for surgery is 6 to 12 years of age due to the growth of the ear. However, from 6 years on, social factors come into play, favouring repair at 6 years. Performing the surgery early can also help prevent teasing later.

Congenital abnormalities that may indicate the need for otoplasty include:
•Unfolding of the antihelix (the outward fold of the ear)
•A deep co**ha (the central part of the ear)
•A prominent lobule (the lower part of the ear)

The procedure is done through an incision on the back surface of the ear, which helps conceal the scar. The cartilage may be shaped with or without incisions, and sutures are used to secure the cartilage in the desired position.

Overall, otoplasty enhances facial balance and is frequently chosen for cosmetic or reconstructive purposes. It can boost self-esteem by providing natural-looking results without impacting hearing.

14/05/2025

A facelift is a cosmetic procedure that tightens the facial skin and the underlying SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), the muscular or fibrous layer beneath the skin. This procedure primarily addresses signs of ageing in the mid and lower face. However, it does not address the forehead, brows, eyelids, or neck. Therefore, it is often performed in combination with one or more of the following procedures: forehead or brow lift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), neck lift, fat injections, chemical peels, or laser treatments.
 
For larger surgical procedures, an overnight stay may be required for observation.
 
A facelift improves the signs of ageing in the face and neck, but it is important to understand that it cannot stop the ageing process. Instead, it enhances certain features, such as:
•Deep lines or folds from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth (marionette lines)
•Jowls, or the loss of a well-defined jawline
•Deep wrinkles and sagging in the cheeks
•Loss of volume in the face
•Loose skin, wrinkles, vertical "cords," or excess fatty tissue in the neck
 
Additionally, it is crucial to recognize that no single procedure can correct all aspects of facial ageing.

07/05/2025

Blepharoplasty, a surgical procedure for the eyelids, can be performed on either the upper or lower eyelids to address the following concerns:
•Natural signs of aging in the eyelids
•Excess skin
•Excess fat or bags under the eyes
•Vision improvement

It’s important to understand that blepharoplasty is effective for specific features of the eyelids and can enhance the results when combined with various non-surgical treatments around the eyes, such as Botox.

The approach to your surgery will be tailored to your individual desires and specific needs. Blepharoplasty is often performed in conjunction with other facial procedures.

02/05/2025

Gynecomastia is the development of excessive breast tissue in males. This condition can result from normal physiological or hormonal changes, certain medications, or a variety of other causes.

The appropriate treatment for gynecomastia depends on its cause and duration. Normally, hormonal workup and hormone balancing need to be performed. This may improve or prevent progression. However, in most cases, the surgical removal of excess tissue provides the best results. This removal may involve excising breast tissue, surrounding fat, and possibly some skin.
