Cosmetic Surgery

Surgery is useful to:

• It helps in repairing burnt, wounded or distorted tissues which is called reconstructive plastic surgery

• This helps in making an individual more attractive which is called cosmetic or aesthetic surgery.

Common operations:

For acne scars:

Acne scars are very irritating as they are permanent. Acne scars are of three types- the small superficial pits which are seen very rarely, the larger pits which follow inflamed acne and the third type may appear – hypertrophic variety.

Hair transplantation:

this operation should be performed if and if there are no chances of growth of hair. There are few types of baldness for which hair transplantation is done to- one of transplantation is the male baldness. Small grafts of hair are transferred to the bald areas.

In one sitting about 50-100 grafts can be transplanted. For severe baldness, three to four sittings are done at the interval of four weeks.

The grafted hairs usually shed after three weeks from surgery but begin to regrow in about three months time. The skill and planning of the surgeon decided the final appearance of the person.

To reshape your face:

a number of changes can be done on your face. One of the common cosmetic surgery performed is the rhinoplasty or the nose repair operation. A long nose can be shortened, a hump can be removed, a crooked nose can be straightened and a turned up nose turned down.

Stitching is done from inside so no scars are visible. The only problem is that new nose takes about couple of months to settle and the area around the nose is swollen and there can be a feeling of numbness and stuffiness but this gradually disappears.

For wrinkled skin:

For the aged & wrinkled skin, a number of operative remedies are available - face lift, eye lift, chemical peeling & collagen implants.
