Botox – Beyond Beauty

When you hear “Botox,” you might immediately think of smoothing wrinkles – but did you know Botox has many medical benefits too?

Chronic migraines – Relief from persistent headaches
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) – Restoring daily comfort
Muscle spasms – Helping relax overactive muscles

Because it’s safe, quick, and minimally invasive, Botox offers both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits, improving not only appearance but also overall quality of life.

At Dr Viwe Nogaga Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, we believe Botox is more than skin deep — it’s about restoring comfort, confidence, and well-being.

What Happens to Your Skin After Weight Loss?

Losing weight is a major achievement – one that boosts your health and confidence. However, many people are left with loose or sagging skin after significant weight loss. This is completely normal, as skin often struggles to shrink back after being stretched for a long period of time.

Why does this happen?
Skin loses elasticity over time
The amount of weight lost and how quickly it was lost
Age, genetics, and lifestyle all play a role

The good news? Plastic & reconstructive procedures such as body contouring, arm lifts, thigh lifts, and tummy tucks can help restore comfort and confidence, completing your transformation journey.

IV Therapy: Health Support from the Inside Out

✔ Boosts your immune system
✔ Speeds up recovery after surgery or illness
✔ Improves hydration, energy, and skin health
✔ Supports mental clarity and performance
✔ Helps reduce fatigue, brain fog, and inflammation

🧬 At Dr. Viwe Nogaga’s practice, IV therapies are customised to your body’s needs, with options including:

💡 Available IV Drips:
✨ Immune Booster IV
✨ Skin Glo IV
✨ Mental Revitalisation IV
✨ Enhanced Wound Healing IV

✨ Jet Fuel IV (performance & energy)

Whether you're recovering, preparing for surgery, travelling, or simply recharging — IV therapy is a smart, science-based way to give your body the support it needs.

Because sustainable change begins from the inside out.

The gastric balloon is a medically approved, non-surgical weight loss solution designed for individuals struggling with excess weight despite diet and exercise.

🔵 How does it work?
A soft balloon is placed in your stomach and filled with saline to take up space. This helps you:
✅ Feel full faster
✅ Reduce portion sizes
✅ Curb overeating habits
✅ Kick-start long-term lifestyle changes

💡 Why consider it?
✔ No surgery or incisions
✔ Reversible and temporary (6–12 months)
✔ Safe and medically supervised
✔ Ideal for individuals with a BMI over 27
✔ Supported by nutrition and wellness guidance throughout the process

This isn’t a quick fix — it’s a tool to help retrain your habits, reboot your health, and take control of your weight with professional support.

What Is Reconstructive Surgery – and Why Does It Matter?
It’s not about perfection. It’s about restoration, function, and dignity.

Reconstructive surgery is often misunderstood as cosmetic, but its purpose goes far deeper. It’s about repairing the body after trauma, illness, or congenital conditions — and helping patients regain their confidence, mobility, and independence.

🔍 Common reasons for reconstructive surgery include:
✔ Injuries from accidents or burns
✔ Scarring from previous surgeries
✔ Tumour removal (e.g. skin cancer reconstruction)
✔ Congenital differences (like cleft lip or hand deformities)
✔ Post-mastectomy breast reconstruction
✔ Wound or tissue healing support

🧬 These procedures can restore both function and appearance, helping individuals return to daily life with comfort and confidence.

💡 Reconstructive surgery is more than skin deep — it’s often the final step in a long journey of healing.

Let’s Talk About Botox – More Than Just Wrinkle Reduction
Understanding the science, safety, and purpose behind Botox injections.

Botox (botulinum toxin) is one of the most studied and widely used treatments in both cosmetic and medical fields — but do you really know how it works?

🔬 What is Botox?
Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles. This helps reduce dynamic wrinkles — the kind caused by repeated facial expressions like frowning, squinting, or smiling.

📘 Common Cosmetic Benefits:
✔ Smooths forehead lines and frown lines
✔ Softens crow’s feet around the eyes
✔ Lifts brows for a refreshed look
✔ Refines jawline (in some cases)

🩺 Did You Know? Botox is also used to treat:
✔ Chronic migraines
✔ Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
✔ Muscle spasms and certain neurological conditions

💡 When administered correctly, Botox is safe, effective, and subtle — helping you look refreshed, not frozen.

📍 Dr Viwe Nogaga – Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon
💬 “We use Botox not to erase who you are, but to enhance your natural expression.”

Gender-Affirming Surgery: A Journey of Medical Transition
Affirming your identity with dignity, care, and clinical excellence.

Gender-affirming surgery is a powerful step in many transgender individuals’ medical transitions — but it’s more than a single operation. It’s a comprehensive journey involving emotional preparation, medical evaluation, and lifelong care.

🔍 What does the journey involve?
✔️ Assessment & psychological support – Mental health care and readiness evaluations
✔️ Hormone therapy (if applicable) – Often part of the broader transition plan
✔️ Personalised surgical planning – Every body and identity is unique
✔️ Aftercare & long-term support – Healing takes time, and so does adjustment

💡 For many, this isn’t about changing their body to fit society — it’s about aligning their body with their truth.

Dr. Viwe Nogaga approaches gender-affirming care with compassion, clinical skill, and absolute respect, understanding the deep trust patients place in their surgical team.

Breast Reduction Surgery – Relief Beyond the Surface
Because how you feel matters more than how you look.

Breast reduction surgery, also called reduction mammoplasty, is not just a cosmetic choice — it’s often a medical necessity for individuals experiencing physical and emotional discomfort due to overly large breasts.

🔍 Common issues it helps address:
✅ Chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain
✅ Skin rashes or infections under the breast fold
✅ Poor posture and spinal stress
✅ Bra strap grooves and discomfort
✅ Difficulty exercising or sleeping
✅ Emotional distress or low self-esteem

💡 The goal? To help you feel lighter, freer, and more comfortable in your body — improving both your physical health and quality of life.

Many patients describe the surgery as life-changing — not because it changes who they are, but because it allows them to finally move, breathe, and live without constant pain.

📍 Dr Viwe Nogaga – Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon
💬 “Breast reduction is not about size — it’s about relief, function, and freedom.”
