COSMETIC SURGERY
Face Aesthetics
Explore rhinoplasty, facelift, eyelid, neck and chin procedures.
Rhinoplasty
Read more — Rhinoplasty Read more — Facelift Read more — Eyelid Surgery Read more — Neck Lift Read more — Chin AugmentationRhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that alters the shape, length, and width of the nose for aesthetic or functional purposes. It can correct congenital or acquired deformities and improve upper respiratory tract issues such as a deviated septum.
Facelift surgery, also known as rhytidectomy, repositions deeper facial tissues and redrapes skin to address selected signs of ageing in the face and neck. The technique, anaesthesia, recovery, scars, and expected changes depend on facial anatomy, skin quality, health factors, and the planned treatment area.
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper or lower eyelids by removing excess skin and fat. It can address both aesthetic concerns, such as wrinkles and puffiness, and functional issues like vision impairment caused by drooping eyelids.
Neck lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to correct sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle relaxation in the neck and jawline area caused by aging, weight fluctuations, or genetics. The procedure can involve removing excess skin, tightening muscles, or liposuction, and is often performed alongside facial rejuvenation surgeries.
Chin augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enlarge the chin bone and improve facial harmony, often using an implant. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically requires a recovery period of about six weeks.

BREAST AESTHETICS
Personalized surgery that balances natural proportion
Explore breast augmentation, reduction, lift and nipple aesthetics.
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that increases breast volume or changes breast contour, most often using implants. Implant type, placement, incision, recovery, and whether a breast lift is also needed depend on the individual examination and treatment goals.
Read more — Breast AugmentationBreast reduction is a surgical procedure that removes excess tissue, fat, and skin to reshape disproportionately large breasts and relieve physical discomfort like back and shoulder pain. The operation is performed under general anesthesia and typically requires an overnight hospital stay, followed by a recovery period of one to two weeks.
Read more — Breast ReductionBreast lift (mastopexy) is surgery that reshapes and raises breasts affected by sagging by removing excess skin and repositioning breast tissue and nipples. It can be performed without implants or combined with volume-focused procedures when appropriate, while scars, recovery, and breastfeeding effects vary by technique and anatomy.
Read more — Breast LiftBreast asymmetry describes a difference in breast size, shape, volume, nipple position or areola appearance. Mild unevenness is common, while more noticeable differences may be addressed with observation, bra fitting, augmentation, reduction, lifting, nipple repositioning or fat transfer after specialist assessment.
Read more — Breast AsymmetryNipple aesthetic surgery addresses cosmetic and structural issues of the nipple and areola, such as inverted, enlarged, or missing nipples. These procedures can be performed alone or in combination with other breast surgeries to restore a natural appearance while aiming to preserve milk ducts.
