Body contouring
Fat Grafting
Fat grafting (also known as lipofilling or fat transfer) is a body contouring procedure during which fat is harvested from one part of the body to deposit into another area in order to reshape or fill the contour.
-
Fat grafting can improve body symmetry and contour
It can be used as a permanent filler to augment certain areas, such as breasts and facial features
It can help improve self-confidence and psychological well-being
Fat grafting procedure can take several hours to do and the duration depends on the amount and position of fat needed to be moved. Liposuction removes fat from the area intended to be reduced in size, which is then processed and carefully injected into the target area.
Your recovery process may involve an overnight stay in the hospital, depending on the extent of your procedure. You will also be required to wear a compression garment while healing. The final results will show after about 6 months. The longevity of your result will depend on your lifestyle and ageing process. It is important to note that not all fat cells will survive the procedure, and you may not achieve your total expected size, shape, and volume in a single stage.

Abdominoplasty
An abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, removes loose skin and fat from the abdomen in order to create an aesthetically pleasing abdominal contour.
-
A tummy tuck can remove sagging skin that cannot be reduced through diet and exercise
It can improve self-esteem
It can relieve any discomfort from excess skin.
The extent of a tummy tuck depends on the individual patient’s needs and desired results. Typically, the incision extends horizontally from one hip to the other.`In some cases, a vertical incision may be required as well to redrape the tissues in several directions to achieve the optimal aesthetic result. Muscles are then tightened, and excess skin and fat are removed to achieve a tighter abdomen. The belly button will also be repositioned to complement the new contour. In some cases, an abdominoplasty is combined with liposuction.
A full tummy tuck can take a few hours to do and you will need to stay in the hospital overnight. The downtime from a tummy tuck is up to 6 weeks, during which you will be required to wear an abdominal binder. The final results should show at around 6 months and can be long-lasting if the patient maintains a stable weight following the procedure and leads a healthy lifestyle.

Recovery will generally take 3 weeks, after which patients will be able to return to regular activities.

Gynaecomastia Correction
Gynaecomastia correction surgery addresses gynaecomastia - a condition that results in enlargement of the male breast- by reshaping and reducing breast tissue to achieve a more masculine chest appearance.
-
Gynaecomastia correction can greatly improve self-confidence in your appearance, potentially improving your quality of life
It can increase comfort associated with chest skin and fat removal.
Gynaecomastia correction is often performed either through liposuction, excision, or both. An incision is made around the areola to remove excess glandular tissue, and beneath the breast to remove fat through liposuction. The result is a flatter, more masculine chest contour.
After gynaecomastia correction, you may need to stay in the hospital overnight. The results will be almost immediate, but it may take a few weeks for the swelling to subside. You will be required to wear a compression garment for 6 weeks after your surgery. The final results can be long-lasting, provided you maintain a healthy lifestyle and a stable body weight.

Labiaplasty
A labiaplasty surgically improves the appearance of a stretched or elongated labia minora -the inner skin folds surrounding the vaginal opening.
-
A labiaplasty can improve self-confidence
It can rectify stretched tissue after childbirth
It can alleviate discomfort from misaligned labia tissue
In a labiaplasty, incisions are made along the labia. Excess tissue from the labia minora is then excised to reduce and reshape the labia. The procedure will typically take 1-1.5 hours. It is important to note that variations in labia size and shape are normal and can vary greatly among individuals.
Labiaplasty typically does not require a hospital stay. You will be advised to wear loose, comfortable clothing during the initial recovery phase, but no specific post-operative garments are usually required. Individual recovery can vary but often takes around 2 weeks, with the final results becoming more apparent over several months. The outcomes of labiaplasty are generally long-lasting.

Scar Revision
Scar Revision methods encompass a spectrum of aesthetic and functional treatments and procedures to improve the appearance of scars. It is important to note that scar revision cannot eliminate a scar, but it helps improve its appearance.
-
A scar revision may help improve the range of movement and improve local function and quality of life
It can reduce pain associated with the scar
It can improve the appearance of scars caused by acne, burns, C-sections, cleft lip repair surgery, post-operative scars, piercings, infection, and scars from traumatic injuries
The exact process of a scar revision is highly dependent on the individual and the scar itself. The procedure may involve excising the scar and resuturing the tissues, or changing the alignment of the scar. Ultimately, the goal is to make the scar less conspicuous.
Recovery from a scar revision is dependent on the individual process but can take up to 3 months. Whether a night in the hospital is required also depends on the extent of the procedure.
