Cosmetic Surgery
A forehead lift is a good option for those who have dropping brows, deep lines on the forehead and between the eyes. This operation pulls the eyebrows into a slightly higher position, opening up the eye area. The muscles that cause the frown between the brows may also be removed. There are two techniques currently in use - the traditional coronal brow lift which uses a genral or twilight anaesthetic and different types of endoscopic brow lifts. In the coronal brow lift the incision is made in the natural hairline, running from ear to ear across the top of...
A beautiful 28-year-old Eurasian woman, who we will call Lisa, recently came to me to have eyelid surgery. This is not at all an uncommon request by Asian women. In the last ten years, there has been an increase of 58% of cosmetic surgeries performed on Asians. Lisa was half Asian and she was still wanted more Caucasian looking eyes. I performed the eyelid surgery for Lisa and she was very happy with the results. Only it didnt stop there...I later discovered she had already had five nose surgeries and four breast enhancements
next she demanded a facelift

No surgical procedure is entirely risk free. Nor are there any guarantees. No matter how experienced the surgeon may be, there is always a small risk that the procedure will not be entirely successful, of that a compication, such as post-operative infection might occur. In such cases further surgical or medical intervention may be necessary, but this should be at no cost to the patient. Make sure the surgeon has comprehensiveinsurance, and will agree to cover the cost of any necessary follow-up surgery, before going ahead. Pain: It should be remembered that pain is very subjective and patients give differing...
Like the face, hands are constantly exposed to ultra violet light and the elements, and are one of the first parts of the body to show signs of aging. Before fat transfer very little could be done. Small amounts of fat are extracted from the buttocks or stomach and reinjected into the back of the hand using a local anaesthetic. The fat is trapped among the tissues and plumps up the back of the hand, making it look less fragile and crepy. The patient may need several treatments and have the procedure repeated annually. ...
In this operation known as "abdominoplasty" a "mini-tuck" is used to remove tissue. A "full tuck" for larger amounts. It is a solution for a protruding or sagging stomach, sometimes following pregnancy and which is difficult to get rid of through exercise. The operation is performed under general anaesthetic. The best results are achieved if the excess local fat is removed at the same time using liposuction, and the weak abdominal muscles can be tightened too. The operation takes about two hours. The stiches along the bikini line are removed first after a week and the scar takes around six...
This surgery is mainly used by those who would like larger or fuller lips or those born with abnormalities or injuries. There are a number of different procedures ranging from temporary to permanent. In temporary procedures different substances are injected - to give a Paris (pouting) lip. The commonest material for this iscollagen for which an allergy test is required. Other substances include Hylaform and Restylane. Another alternative is using the patients own fat collected from the abdomen or buttocks. Permanent sustances are firmer but can sometimes result in a lumpy appearance. One of the newer substances is Artecoll which...
Used to treat worry lines, frown lines, hollow cheeks or collar bones, ageing hands. Fat is removed from parts of the body where it can be spared, such as the buttocks and stomach, and injected into parts where it is needed. The procedure is done under a local anaesthetic, takes about two hours and leaves no scars. The treated areas are supported by dressings to keep the fat in place and removed after two or three days. Bruising and swelling disappear after a few weeks.Results are good, but not all the transplanted fat cells survive, so surgeons usually transplant more...
The surgeon uses an ultrasound probe set at a special frequency to dissolve the fat. ...
Liposculpture is a variation on liposuction, but is done with smaller, hand-operated syringes rather than vacuum pumps. The technique is generally used to treat smaller reas of the body, such as ankles, removing double chins or fat around the knees. The procedure is slower than liposuction but is said to be more precise, although is probably depends on the skills of the surgeon. There is no scarring. ...
This treatment is used to remove excess fatty tissue in specific areas of the body, such as the thighs, stomach or buttocks, resistent to exercise and diet. Fat is removed by suction from selected sites of the body. An incision is made in the skin over the area, the fat cells are broken down using enzymes or ultra-sound, and the liquified fat is then sucked out through a cannula. This is done under local or general anaesthetic, depending on size of the area being treated. Common areas include, the hips, inner and outer thighs, abdomen and buttocks, as well as...
A facelift is the name given to a range of cosmetic surgery techniques which aim to give a total lift to the sagging and ageing face. Facelifts are carried out to counter the effects of ageing where gravity and the effects of exposure to elements have weakened the facial skin and the undelying tissue. The result of this ageing can be a combination of drooping eyebrows, a downward slant to the eyes, a heavier and lined forehead, less prominent cheekbones and loose skin at the jawline. The age at which this happens depends on a number of factors including heriditary...
In ageing some people's cheeks begin to hollow , giving them a gaunter look which can be ageing. It is not common, but it is possibloe to have the cheeks plumped out with silicone to give more definition. This is made possible by building the cheekbone up, using either hard silicone or hydroxyapitite. Prices and possible complications are similar to those of mentoplasty. Cheeks that have hollowed as a result of aging can also be plumped out with fat transplants. ...
Double chins can be smoothed away quite effectively using liposuction or liposculpture. Lloose skin round the jaw and upper neck can be tightened with the classic face-lift. However, at the moment there are no widely available techniques for improving prematurely aged and lined necks, though Botox is sometimes used. A few surgeons are experimenting with fat transplants to plump out lined areas, and this could eventually become more popular. ...

Enhancement According to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), breast enlargement/enhancement is the most popular cosmetic surgery treatment in the UK. This operation, known as breast "augmentation" in which a silicone or saline implant is inserted behind the breast, either from the crease under the breast or under the armpit, so scars are hidden. Implants do not usually interfere with breast-feeding. Surgery takes about one and a half hours and is performed under a general anaesthetic. There has been some controversy in the past over the use of silicone, suggesting they may be responsible for increasing the risk...
Plastic surgery used to correct a small or receding chin is called "mentoplasty". The jawbone can be built up, using implants, to achieve the desired effect. Traditionally these have been made of silicone, but now newer and better materials are being introduced from dental surgery ie polymers and HTR. Silicone implants are inserted from inside the mouth and sliped down to lie over the chin, so there is no scar. The new type of implants are inserted from below the chin and physically attached to the bone, eventually fusing with the jawbone. The scar is hidden under the jaw. In...
Known as "otoplasty". The usual problem is protruding ears. The ears can be altered reasonably easily and, for adults, a local anaesthetic can be used, injected around the ears to make them numb. An incision is then made in the crease behind the ear and the cartilage is trimmed, bringing the ear closer to the head. The operation lasts less than an hour. Children can have this operation under general anaesthetic from the age of seven, which is when the ears stop growing. It's a straightforward procedure.The ears which will be swollen and bruised, are bandaged after the operation, and...
This operation is known as "rhinoplasty". Many people are unhappy with noses that have bumps on the nasel bone, are too broad or have long tips, or that have been broken at some stage. In this operation the nose is reshaped and realigned to bring it into better proportion with the rest of the race. This mayincludes removing bumps, slimming an overly broad nose or altering the tip. Some procedures may involve breaking the nasal bone and resetting it. Work on the tip of the nose, where the supporting tissue is cartilage rather than bone - may be more complex...
Eyelid surgery is known as "upper" or "lower blepharoplasty". This is one of the most popular cosmetic operations as the skin around the eyes is thinner than on the rest of the face and is usually the first to show signs of ageing. On the upper-eyelid the skin can stetch which can lead to a hooded effect and even - in extreme cases - loss of peripheral vision. The other problem is bags under the eyes, which are created by an accumulation of fatty tissue underneath, together with a loss of elasticiy in the skin. Some people are affected by...
