Buccal Fat Removal Indication:
The facial contour is an expression of beauty and personality, a delicate symphony of lines and curves that tell our individual story. It is the result of a harmonious collaboration between bones, muscles and soft tissues, which together create a masterpiece that makes us unique.
An indication for buccal fat removal is excessive fat in the cheek area, causing a round or full facial profile. The procedure can help to achieve a slim and defined facial contourachieve and make the face appear slimmer overall. One option for patients seeking a narrow V-shaped face is surgical removal of the Bichat fat bodies, which are located in each cheek. Unlike hyaluronic acid or Botox, the results are permanent because these fat bodies are isolated from the rest of the body fat and cannot regenerate. Bichectomy requires approximately 30 minutes under local anesthesia and leaves no visible scars. However, it is important to note that the procedure is only indicated for certain facial shapes and proportions and is not suitable for everyone.

Surgery:
Buccal Fat Removal is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat in the cheek area to create a slimmer facial contour. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthetic and usually takes an hour or less. During the procedure, a small incision is made from the oral cavity in the cheek area in order to carefully remove the fatty tissue. The bleeding is carefully stopped and sutures are sewn with absorbable threads._cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_

tummy tuck
Indication:
Drooping upper eyelids - so-called droopy eyelids - can be extremely annoying for those affected. The development of drooping eyelids can be attributed to various reasons. With age, the skin and tissue in the area of the upper eyelids lose elasticity and resilience. The musculature becomes weaker and as a result the upper eyelids begin to droop: the eyelid droops, the eyes appear small and the gaze looks tired. However, droopy eyelids can also be genetic.
An eyelid lift can remove drooping upper eyelids and give the face a more alert and younger look. Eyelid correction is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries.
Surgery:
A tightening of the upper eyelid is a standardized procedure in which excess skin in the area of the upper eyelid is removed. If necessary, the muscles are also tightened at the same time. Since the incision is made in the natural fold of the upper eyelid, no noticeable or visible scar remains after the drooping eyelid operation.
After the operation:
-
After tightening the upper eyelids, the eyelids may be swollen
-
This swelling can last up to two weeks
-
Cool eyelids after surgery
-
head elevation
-
Sunbathing or going to the solarium should be avoided,
-
The result of the eyelid lift can be seen about four weeks after the operation
