What it is
Plastic surgery is a medical specialty with a broad scope of practice. Its purpose is to treat disease and trauma and to improve aesthetic aspects through techniques and procedures applied to different areas of the body.
Operations are carried out from two perspectives. Reconstructive surgery aims to correct disfiguring injuries and congenital or acquired defects - it is considered as necessary as any other surgical intervention. Aesthetic surgery seeks proportion and harmony, always starting from each patient anatomy.
Facial
Rhinoplasty for aesthetic and functional correction of the nose, restoring the balance between nasal and facial proportions without leaving an "operated nose" look and preserving breathing function.
Blepharoplasty, facelift and mini facelift to treat laxity, wrinkles and folds, restoring a defined contour and a rested look. These are often combined with one another for a broader and longer lasting rejuvenation.
Submental liposuction, buccal fat removal and otoplasty complete the range of facial procedures.
Body
Breast augmentation, breast lift, abdominoplasty, high-definition liposuction, gluteoplasty, arm and thigh lift, gynaecomastia and scar revision.
The choice of technique, of the implant plane and of the implant profile is individual, agreed between surgeon and patient - bringing together the surgeon technical judgement and the wishes and understanding of the person being operated on.
Reconstructive
Surgical treatment of skin cancer, cutaneous tumours, burns and unsightly scars. Assessing and removing pre-cancerous lesions early prevents complications later on.
