The earlobe is the lower, fleshy part of the ear that is sometimes pierced. The area consists of a delicate piece of skin that is made up of fat and skin.

We can manage:

• Split earlobes
• Elongated earlobes
• Stretched earlobes
• Reduction of earlobe size

A split earlobe is more likely to occur for those that wear heavy earrings constantly.

Elongation of the hole or complete splitting of the earlobe can occur either over time through the thin wire of an earring being pulled by the weight of an earring or through trauma such as the jewellery being yanked or snagged suddenly. Big holes in the earlobe from big plug earrings that stretch the hole intentionally can also be repaired.We also complete ear lobe reduction procedures to re-shape and re-size the fleshy lobe part of the ear.

Vaser® Lipo: 6-pack in two hours without any scarring

Liposuction is a surgery that started with the purpose of removing fat deposits under the skin. Eventually, the advancement of cosmetic surgery has expanded and is now known also as liposculpture. It is everybody’s dream to have a great-looking body with six packs. Now, by using the latest liposuction Vaser® method, the unwanted fat can be removed but also a well-sculpted body is created quickly and safely for the patient.

Procedure

During Vaser® liposuction, when in surgery, the patient is put under general anaesthesia which is done through two extremely small incisions. Then, with the help of Vaser® ultrasound probes which are inserted into the skin through small incisions, fatty tissue is broken up. Finally, the fatty tissue starts to break apart by using a cannula which helps carry out this procedure and in this way, the muscle tone underneath the body is revealed. This procedure takes approximately two hours always depending on the quantity of fat that needs to be removed. Another benefit of the Vaser® 4D Lipo is lipotransfer. In other words, fat is taken from one part of the body and moved to another in order to add volume and create curves.

Targeted areas for treatment

Vaser® liposuction can be done on the stomach area (6-pack abs creation), arms, chest (gynecomastia), waist, hips and thighs, buttocks and back. After this, the shape of the body is permanently transformed and improved. It is important to stress that this particular method does not apply to very overweight or obese people.

Results

The transformation is noticeable after the first day of the surgery and the incisions that had to be made are not so obvious because they are very small and are gone a few months after the procedure. 30 days after the surgery, the patient can appreciate the final result, while the swelling is gradually fading.

Why choose the Vaser® Lipo?
Vaser® Lipo has numerous benefits compared to traditional liposuction:

• Less invasive cosmetic surgery without leaving any scars
• Faster recovery time
• No tissue injury
• Minimal swelling
• Tight body shape
• Improved capability of collecting fat (for later infusion in another part of the body)

• Improving fine lines and wrinkles

The FaceTite™ treatment is done under local anesthetic for patient comfort, is minimally invasive and takes about an hour

.A very fine cannula is inserted under the skin using the power of Bipolar radio frequency energy, this energy is used to heat underneath the skin and into the fatty tissue. Here the temperature is monitored by your doctor so you can achieve tighter, younger skin.

FaceTite™ results are similar to face or neck lift surgery, but without the need for major surgeries or scars to deal with. Results can be seen immediately, with best results noticeable at 6 months and  the results last similar to surgery which is up to 10 years.

Following the FaceTite™ procedure the skin itself can easily be treated while still numb from the anaesthetic with Morpheus 8, the micro needling Radio Frequency, to achieve an improved result with skin remodelling to remove any fine lines& wrinkles and maximum skin tightening effect.
This will be discussed with your doctor at your consultation.

The breast lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Duration 2 and a half hours. The number and size of the incisions are determined by the degree of sagging. In the majority of cases, the technique known as vertical mammaplasty is used, in which two incisions are made – one around the areola and one vertical, going down from the underside of the areola to the breast crease. In rare cases, with a high degree of ptosis, a third horizontal incision is made right along the breast crease. An “anchor” incision is obtained, but since more scars remain, it is not among the preferred ones and is used only when necessary. During the operation, the nipple and the areola are lifted and moved to a predetermined location. If necessary, areolas are reduced. The breast tissues are restructured, and the new, firmer appearance of the breast is formed. Excess skin is removed. The incisions are sutured, and aspiration drains are placed.

The achieved result is long-lasting. Over the years, under the influence of gravity, the breast tissue relaxes but does not return to its pre-surgery position. The degree of future sagging depends on the individual characteristics of the body. Sometime after the operation, the breasts will be swollen. Patients must wear a special elastic bra around the clock for the first two months. Moderate post-operative pain is possible, which is quickly relieved by ordinary painkillers. Most patients can return to work after one week, but it takes 2-3 weeks for the discomfort and feeling of tightness in the breasts to disappear. Breastfeeding is possible after the operation.

Immediately after the intervention, heavy lifting and stretching should be avoided for about a month after the operation until the breast tissues have recovered. During the first months, the scars should not be exposed to the sun or solarium, so they do not become pigmented.

The breast reduction procedure is very complex, as it includes both breast volume reduction and breast shaping and lifting. The surgery also successfully corrects asymmetry in the volume of the breasts. The result is a body-proportioned, good-looking bust. The operation is sought both for aesthetic reasons and medical indications – back pain and strain can lead to future problems with the spine.

The operation is performed under general anesthesia. Duration is 3-3.5 hours. Due to the large size of the breast, an operative technique requires making three incisions – one around the areola, one vertical, descending from the underside to the breast crease, and one horizontal, passing along the breast crease. An “anchor” cut is obtained. During the operation, the nipple and the areola are lifted and moved to a predetermined location. Areolas are reduced. Skin, subcutaneous tissue, and glands are removed and the new, tighter appearance of the breast is formed. The incisions are sutured, and aspiration drains are placed. In Gigantomastia /huge bust/ the areolas must be moved a very long distance, which requires them to be separated from the underlying tissue as a free transplant and grafted to the new location.

Unlike all other plastic surgeries, with breast reduction, the benefit is not only aesthetic – patients also get physical relief from their previous symptoms such as the neck, back, and shoulder pain or frequent headaches. The result is definitive, as, over time, the breasts can only lose part of their shape and slightly relax under the influence of gravity. Wearing a bra regularly can significantly slow down this process. Sometime after the operation, the breasts will be swollen. Patients must wear a special elastic bra around the clock for the first two months. Moderate post-operative pain is possible, which is quickly relieved by ordinary painkillers. Most patients can return to work after one week, but it takes 2-3 weeks,

Immediately after the intervention, heavy lifting and stretching should be avoided for about a month after the operation until the swelling has completely subsided and the breast tissues have recovered. During the first months, the scars should not be exposed to the sun or solarium, so they do not become pigmented.

The operation reduces the so-called female-type breasts to normal male sizes. The problem with the increased size of male breasts can be due to accumulated fatty tissue, as a result of gaining weight, or an increased amount of glandular tissue, which is genetically determined in some men. Usually, in such cases, men are ashamed of the appearance of their breasts and hide them. This problem is completely solvable with surgery and helps men regain their self-confidence.

Before the intervention, you must go through a consultation with our specialist, with whom you can comment on the results you want and how achievable they are. You will be shown where the incisions will be made, and the operative technique will be explained to you. You will be informed about the recovery period and the possible risks and complications related to the upcoming procedure. You will receive instructions on what to do before the operation and what tests you need.

The operation is performed under general anesthesia. Duration is 1.5-2.5 hours. The location and size of the incisions are determined by the volume of tissue to be removed. Most often, an incision is made around the areola. For smaller breasts, it is enough to make a semicircle around the areola in its lower part. Excess breast tissue is removed through this incision. This is a typical case of correction in true gynecomastia. For larger breasts, when the volume of the breast is due to increased fatty tissue, the so-called pseudo gynecomastia, the operative technique is similar to that of female breast reduction. The incisions are around the areola and vertically downwards; in some cases, an incision is also made under the breast. Excess tissue and skin are removed. After the operation, drains are placed, the incisions are sutured, and a surgical dressing is placed over them. The breast is secured with a bandage to hold the skin in place. In rare cases, when the breast enlargement is small and is due only to accumulated fat, the problem can be corrected with liposuction.

After the operation, the breasts are of normal size for men and are proportional to the body. The result is extremely durable, and only gaining a lot of extra pounds and accumulating fat in the chest can spoil the effect. That is why the patient must take care of his figure by exercising and following a proper diet. Postoperative pains are quite moderate and respond well to ordinary painkillers. A special adhesive elastic bandage (tonoplast) is worn for the first week, and an elastic bandage for another two weeks. After 4-5 days, the patient can return to work. About a month is needed for a full recovery and the disappearance of discomfort.

It is most often used to rejuvenate the face – the nasolabial folds are filled and smoothed, and the cheekbones and cheeks are given volume. Lipofilling is the safest method for filling in hollows under the eyes. It is also a great method for lip augmentation. It is also used to correct irregularities due to liposuction, in breast reconstruction, to rejuvenate the palms of the hands, etc.

The procedure is suitable for all men and women who want to improve their appearance. By adding volume where needed, a natural and excellent result is achieved. The procedure is widely used and practically has no upper age limit. An important condition is that the patient is not too thin; that is, there is enough fat tissue to be transferred to the desired area.

The duration is between 1.5 and 3 hours, depending on the volume of fat tissue that needs to be transferred. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia. It starts by taking adipose tissue, most often from the abdomen or thighs. This is done by making a small incision in the previously anesthetized donor site, and with the help of a fine cannula, the necessary amount of fat tissue is extracted. The fat tissue is then purified and injected into the desired area with the help of another cannula.

*The type of cannulas used is very important for the final result since it largely depends on the so-called “survival” of the injected fatty tissue, i.e., the final volume that will permanently remain in the new location.

Lipofilling is a very gentle procedure with excellent results. A great advantage of the procedure is that the patient’s fat tissue is used – thus, rejuvenation takes place naturally, and the risk of an allergic reaction is completely avoided. From the injected fat tissue, after 1.5-2 months, up to 30%-50% remain permanently. The procedure can be applied repeatedly until the desired effect is achieved. The recovery period depends mainly on the patient’s age and health. Most people return to work as early as the second day when the initial swelling and possible redness have passed.

Facelift surgery lifts and firms sagging facial tissues to restore a more naturally youthful facial appearance. It is often said that having a facelift works to “turn back the clock” and patient look like a younger version of him or herself. By removing excess, sagging skin, smoothing deep folds, and lifting and tightening the deep facial tissues, a facelift surgery can help a patient look not just younger, but simply “better.” Facelift surgery is a complex procedure that requires extensive knowledge in facial anatomy, a very specific skill set of surgical techniques, and a highly-developed eye for aesthetic detail.

The end result is visible facial rejuvenation. With this type of facelift can be corrected many unaesthetic changes in the face and the consequences of age. The first step before the intervention is to go through a consultation with our specialist, where you will have the opportunity to comment on the desired result and how achievable it is. The patient has the ability to ask all the questions that interest him/her, as well as let the doctor know about any diseases. The patient will be informed about how the procedure is going, the recovery period, and receive instructions on what to do before and after the operation.

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, although it can also be performed under local anesthesia and intravenous sedation. The duration is about 2-3 hours. As a result of the facelift, the face looks younger, smoother and more attractive. The durability of the achieved effect is individual, up to several years and depends primarily on the condition of the skin. It is determined by its blood supply and elasticity, which decrease with age. In addition, smokers have thinner and weaker skin and the result usually lasts less time than non-smokers. To stabilize the result in smokers, it is recommended to stop smoking two weeks before and after the operation and use a face cream rich in oxygen. There is usually swelling and bruising after the operation. Cold compresses can help these symptoms go away faster.
