Plastic surgery is an incomparable discipline of medicine that is focused on normalizing and improving the appearance of an individual through surgical and medical techniques and could be carried out on any part of the body: head, face, neck, trunk, arms, hand and lower limbs. The science of moulding tissues from local areas or from distant areas of the body is an integral part and is the origin of the word ‘plastic’ which means to ‘mould’ in Greek.

There are many cosmetic procedures designed to improve the appearance of different areas of the body. Liposuction is the removal of fatty tissue to help shape fatty areas and help with weight loss procedures. This procedure is popular with men as well as women. While many people think that liposuction is exclusively designed for the stomach and waist area, it is a cosmetic surgery procedure that can also target problem areas such as the hips, buttocks, inner and outer thighs, arms, knees and double chins.

A tummy tuck, or Abdominoplasty, is a different kind of body sculpting treatment also popular with those hoping to slim their waistline as they are specifically designed to create a flatter tummy. Three aspects are specifically addressed here: the fat, the muscle and the excess of skin if present. After a thorough evaluation, these aspects are tackled to get a cosmetic abdomen.

Breast Surgery is definitely one of the most popular and common types of Plastic surgery procedures. Many women find that the shape and appearance of their breasts have been adversely affected by childbirth and weight loss. Lots of women choose to undergo breast enlargement using breast implants to boost the size of their breasts. Most of the women considering breast augmentation are either born with small breasts or had surgical removal. Sometimes the breast is too large and cause multiple issues and reducing the size of the breast can be considered- a procedure called reduction mammoplasty. For patients with sagging breasts, a procedure to uplift the breast can be done called mastopexy.

However, breast surgery including liposuction is not confined to women, and we offer male breast reduction surgery which is ideal for men who are suffering from enlargement of the male breast commonly known as Gynecomastia. This will help boost the confidence of young males who because of their large breast size are embarrassed and do not go for public events like swimming or often wear loose clothes to mask their big breasts.

Large ear holes and torn earlobes can pose a serious problem wearing earrings and these can be repaired at kinder at your convenience.
