Women who wish to increase their cup size, whose breasts are irregular, or
whose breasts have changed due to childbirth or weight loss, will find that
this procedure can achieve firmer, bigger breasts with minimal scarring.
Silicone or saline-filled implants are inserted through the areola, armpits, or
underneath the breasts and placed behind the pectoral muscles in order to
enlarge the breasts. The procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis, but
may require general anaesthesia. Implants can rupture as a result of trauma or
spontaneously over time, requiring additional surgery. Following breast
augmentation, you can face the world in one week.
Mastopexy (breast lift)
Breasts that have lost their shape and firmness due to weight loss,
pregnancy or age can be restored to their original shape. The nipples are
repositioned higher on the breast and excess skin is removed to eliminate
sagging. The procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis, but may require
general anaesthesia. Depending on the technique used, the procedure may leave
permanently visible incision scars, but you’re ready to face the world in
one to two weeks.
Breast Reduction (for women)
Using a combination of liposuction and surgery, large breasts are
refined to reduce their size. The procedure, which can be performed on an
outpatient basis under general anaesthesia, may leave slight scarring. You can
face the world in two weeks.
Breast Reduction (for men)
Enlarged breasts, which may be the result of heredity or excessive
weight, are reduced through liposuction and/or removing excess glandular
tissue. The procedure can be done on an outpatient basis, but may require
general anaesthesia. You’ll be ready to face the world in three to seven
days.
Abdominoplasty (stomach reshaping)
Sagging stomach muscles – due to pregnancy, weight gain, or age
– can be flattened and tightened. An incision is made from hip to hip,
excess fat and skin are removed and the abdominal muscles and abdominal wall
are surgically tightened. The surgery requires general anaesthesia and,
usually, a hospital stay, and will leave incision scars, but you can face the
world in one to four weeks.
