procedures-face-ear reshaping(otoplasty)

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Ear reshaping surgery, or otoplasty, can improve the shape and the position of ears, bringing them in harmony with the rest of facial features. Deformities can be presented at birth or can be caused by trauma. The otoplasty surgery boosts self-esteem both in children and adults.

The Aim

Ear surgery is usually undertaken to set prominent ears back closer to the head or to reduce the size of large ears. It is a procedure that can be successfully performed on both children and adults.

The Procedure

Incisions are generally placed behind the ear so the scars are invisible. The cartilage of the ear is remodelled and on occasion some of the cartilage removed. This procedure can be performed under local or general anaesthesia. Surgery lasts about one hour and discharge from hospital takes place the same day.

The Recovery

Patients can back to everyday activities about five days after surgery.

Nose reshaping or rhinoplasty can not only enhance the look of your face but also correct breathing problems (septoplasty). The origin of these problems can be different: from child birth deformity, history of trauma or dissatisfaction with the previous rhinoplasty.

There are various rhinoplasty techniques in which it is possible to change the shape, size, bridge and tip of the nose. Your surgeon will spend time advising you on the most appropriate operation to suit your needs. The surgery takes around 90 minutes, performed under general anaesthesia, and requires usually 1 over night stay in hospital.

What is Thredlift?

Threadlift is one of the most sweeping facial cosmetic rejuvenation trends available today..

Who can benefit?

Our dedicated surgeons are fully equipped to perform this surgery for you if you have minimal signs of ageing or feel you are not yet ready for a full face lift. Opting for this procedure can lessen the need for more major facial rejuvenation in subsequent years.

The Procedure

Specially designed surgical threads are fed into the fat layer, just under the skin which effectively suspends a relaxed facial, brow or neck area. The barbs from the one end of the thread grab lift the sagging tissue and the teeth from the other end anchor it to the rest of the facial tissue. No stitches are required and no scars are produced. The contour thread material, clear polypropylene, has been widely used in other medical applications for many years.

The Recovery

Thread lift is a relatively simple procedure, performed in about one hour under a local anaesthesia. It requires very small incisions and a minimal recovery time.

procedures-face-eyelid surgery(blefaroplasty)

One of the earliest signs of ageing can be loose skin on eyelids and puffy eye bags. That makes some people look constantly tired.

The Aim

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty and sometimes eye lift surgery, eliminates that sagging skin, wrinkles and puffiness around the eyes for a more youthful and well rested, fresh look.

The Procedure

Incisions are hidden below the lower eyelid lashes and carefully set into the creases of the upper lids. If there are ‘fat bags’ underneath lower eyelids but no skin needs to be removed, an incision is made inside the lower eyelid (tranconjutival blefaroplasty).

The Recovery

During that period, you will be suggested to apply light ice packs over your eyes. The recovery from eyelid surgery takes from one week to one month and the complete healing process takes up to few months as scars fade to thin white lines.

**Eyelid surgery can be performed alone or together with other cosmetic procedures.

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Ageing process is inevitable, but looking old is not! Facelift surgery, also known as rhitidectomy, reshapes the face and neck to recapture the appearance of youth without that pulled unnatural look.

The Aim

This confidence building procedure effectively renews a youthful appearance to the face, resulting in a more defined profile and a fresh, more pleasing reflection. Your surgeon will firm up the jaw line, smooth out deeper lines and wrinkles across the face and brow and tighten any excess or sagging skin around the neck.

The Procedure

Incisions are mostly hidden beneath the hairline and behind the ears. Through the incisions, the underlying tissues are expertly re-modelled and re-draped. Surgery lasts around three hours under general anaesthesia. It requires a one or two night stay in hospital.

The Recovery

Swelling and bruising is normal.

The Aftercare

Stitches are removed after 7 and 14 days. During this period you will be advised to refrain from physical activity. Afterwards, normal daily activities can be resumed.
