Face Lift (Rhytidectomy): Middle age women and men with face and neck wrinkling and deep lines, which causes the overlying skin to sag.

• 1a - Facelift (without forehead and eyelids surgery)
• 1b - Facelift (with eyelids surgery)
• 1c - Facelift (with forehead lift but without eyelids surgery)
• 1d - Full Facelift (forehead lift, cheeks, neck and eyelids surgery)

Brow Lift (Forehead Lift): A brow lift aims to smooth out forehead lines and furrows and to prevent their return, to raise the eyebrows and upper lids, and to soften or flatten deep frown lines between eyes.

Laser Skin Resurfacing: Laser technology is utilized to obtain a smoother skin contour, better texture, and some tightening of the facial skin. Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth can be smoothed. Deep laugh and frown creases can be softened. Some acne and surgical scars can be minimized.

• 3b - Eyelid surgery (lower only)
• 3c - Eyelid surgery (upper only)

Nose Surgery (Rhynoplasty): This surgery alters the size and shape of the nose for adults with nose deformities.

Lip Lift: A lip lift is performed to shorten the long lip of aging, allowing the upper teeth to show again when the lips are slightly parted. It also everts more of the upper lip vermilion, thus making the thin upper lip appear more youthful.

Facial Implants: We use facial implants to improve and enhance facial contours. Frequently, these implants will help provide a more harmonious balance to your face and features so that you may feel better about the way you look.

• 4a - Chin Augmentation
• 4b - Cheeks Augmentation

Dermabrasion: This treatment will result in a smoother skin

Peeling (face): Smoothes out skin and removes wrinkles by using acids (glicolic acid, thricloroacetic acid)

Hair Transplant Surgery: Decrease the bald areas of the scalp.

• 5d - Scalp reduction

Procedures For The Breast

Breast Reduction: This surgery is designed to make the overly large breast smaller.

Breast Augmentation: This surgery allows small breasts to be safely enlarged.

Breast Lift: This surgery removes stretched breast skin but not breast tissue and lifts nipples up to a normal position. Breast size is unlikely to change. Only breast shape is changed.

Procedures For The Body

Liposuction: Fatty tissue is removed (by suctioning) from the body through small (less than one centimeter) incisions for the purpose of improving body contour.

• 6a - Liposuction (one area)
• 6b - Liposuction (two to three areas)

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): This is a major surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen.

Thighs Lift: The thigh lift tightens the skin of the upper thigh.
