Plastic surgery involves the reconstruction or alteration of body parts to improve appearance, restore function, or repair damage. It can be elective, corrective, or reconstructive.
Abdominal separation repair occurs when the rectus abdominis muscles (the "six-pack" muscles) separate due to the stretching of the connective tissue that holds them together. While common during and after pregnancy, it can also affect men and individuals with obesity or after repeated abdominal strain. Symptoms include a visible bulge, core weakness, lower back pain, and poor posture.
Abdominal Wall Reconstruction is performed to correct defects in the abdominal muscles and fascia (connective tissue) that may arise from conditions like large or recurrent hernias, infections, trauma, or complications following previous surgeries. This procedure not only focuses on closing the defect but also on restoring the normal function and strength of the abdominal wall, improving both appearance and quality of life.
Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck surgery, is a procedure that improves the appearance of the abdominal region by removing excess skin and fat and tightening the underlying abdominal muscles. It is often sought by individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight, experienced pregnancy, or simply want to address loose skin and weakened muscles that do not respond to diet and exercise.
The application of injectables involves the use of botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid, and biostimulators to enhance aesthetics, restore volume, reduce wrinkles, and stimulate collagen production. These treatments are minimally invasive and widely used in both cosmetic and medical dermatology.
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that targets the upper and/or lower eyelids to rejuvenate the eye area and restore a more youthful appearance. It can also address functional concerns, such as impaired vision caused by drooping eyelids. This procedure involves removing or repositioning excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle. It is commonly performed for cosmetic purposes but can also be medically necessary in some cases. Blepharoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries worldwide due to its ability to produce dramatic yet natural-looking results.
Botox is a popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure that temporarily smooths wrinkles and fine lines by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected. It’s often used to address signs of aging on the face, including forehead wrinkles, frown lines (glabellar lines), and crow’s feet. Botox is also used for medical conditions such as migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms.
Brachial plexus surgery is a specialized procedure aimed at repairing or reconstructing the network of nerves (brachial plexus) that originates from the spinal cord and controls the muscles and sensation in the shoulder, arm, and hand. This surgery is essential for restoring function and reducing pain following brachial plexus injuries, which can occur due to trauma, stretching injuries, or tumors.
Breast reconstruction is a complex and personalized surgical procedure designed to rebuild the breast mound after a mastectomy or lumpectomy, typically due to breast cancer. The goal is to restore the breast's appearance, symmetry, and contour, helping to improve the patient’s body image and quality of life. There are various techniques for breast reconstruction, including the use of implants or autologous (patient's own) tissue.
Dermal fillers are substances injected into the skin to restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours, offering a non-invasive solution to signs of aging. These fillers can also be used to augment areas such as the lips, cheeks, chin, and under the eyes. Dermal fillers are composed of various materials, with hyaluronic acid being the most commonly used due to its natural presence in the skin. Other fillers include calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, and autologous fat.

A facelift targets common concerns such as sagging skin, deep creases, and jowls, offering a long-lasting solution compared to non-surgical treatments.
Facial plastic surgery includes a wide range of surgical procedures aimed at improving the appearance and function of the face. These procedures can address aesthetic concerns, such as aging signs or asymmetry, as well as reconstructive needs resulting from congenital anomalies, trauma, or disease.
Fat grafting is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the volume and contour of various body areas using the patient's own fat. This technique provides natural-looking results and is often used in facial rejuvenation, breast augmentation, buttock enhancement (Brazilian butt lift), and correcting contour irregularities from previous surgeries or trauma.
Gynecomastia surgery, also referred to as male breast reduction surgery, is a surgical intervention designed to address the enlargement of male breast tissue, a condition known as gynecomastia. This procedure aims to reduce breast size, improve chest contour, and restore a more masculine appearance to the chest area.
Hymenoplasty is a surgical procedure that restores or reconstructs the hymen, a thin tissue that partially covers the vaginal opening. This procedure is often performed for cultural, religious, or personal reasons, with some individuals seeking it to feel a sense of purity or to meet cultural expectations surrounding virginity. While the hymen is not a definitive indicator of virginity, the procedure is performed to re-establish the physical appearance of an intact hymen.
Intimate rejuvenation encompasses a range of non-surgical and surgical procedures designed to enhance the health, function, and appearance of the vaginal area. These treatments target issues such as vaginal laxity, dryness, discomfort during intercourse, and aesthetic concerns related to aging, childbirth, or hormonal changes. By rejuvenating intimate areas, women can experience improved quality of life and sexual satisfaction.
Labiaplasty is a type of cosmetic surgery aimed at reshaping the labia minora and/or labia majora. Women may seek this procedure for various reasons, including discomfort due to enlarged labia, aesthetic preferences, or changes after childbirth or aging. The procedure can enhance comfort and boost self-confidence for many individuals.

It is typically used to target areas such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, back, and under the chin. Liposuction helps reshape these areas by permanently removing fat cells, providing a smoother, more contoured silhouette.

This procedure is commonly sought after childbirth, especially if significant tearing occurred, or for individuals experiencing discomfort, laxity, or pelvic floor dysfunction. The surgery may also be performed for cosmetic reasons to enhance the appearance of the perineal area.
Pilonidal cyst surgery is a procedure aimed at removing a cyst or abscess located near the tailbone (sacrococcygeal region) that typically contains hair and skin debris. This type of cyst can become painful and infected, often requiring surgical intervention to provide relief and prevent recurrence. Pilonidal cysts are more common in young adults and can result from ingrown hairs, friction, and prolonged sitting.
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that enhances the shape, size, and functionality of the nose. Whether for cosmetic improvements or medical reasons, rhinoplasty can help achieve better facial harmony and improve breathing by correcting structural issues.
