You can decide which procedure and technique suits the best you for breast cosmetic surgery and that responds to your needs. Now, thanks to technological progress, augmented reality and artificial intelligence, it has become possible to view and preview the shape of the breast and the result of the operation, based on the Crisalix program, which allows taking measurements and size of the breast using augmented reality technology, and then choosing for example any size of silicone implant from among the available real brands.
This technology allows you to recognize your post-operative shape in a dynamic 5D manner even and how you look after wearing clothes.
Some women suffer from a small breast size and this would negatively affect the psychological state in their daily lifestyle and wellness. The goal of breast augmentation operations is to restore the consistency, size and balance of the breast with the rest of the body, which makes the woman regain her self-confidence and beauty.
Breast augmentation is the placement of an implant (sub-glandular, sub-fascial or sub-muscular) through a small hidden incision in the infra mammary fold or around the areola.
Breast enlargement in some women, with or without an increase in body weight, especially after pregnancy or breastfeeding, can cause chronic neck and back pain and also skin irritations in the infra mammary crease.
Breast reduction is considered one of the most plastic surgeries that give a high satisfaction rate among women, soon after recovery women notice higher self-confidence and a return to physical workout and comfort in dress.
If the woman intends to lose weight or is pregnant and breast-feeding, it is better to consider breast reduction surgery at a later time as these conditions may change the shape and size of the breast.
When the breast tissue becomes saggy, the nipple becomes drooping and the breast loses its beauty and consistency with the rest of the body. If the size of the breast is normal and acceptable, the operation consists in lifting and tightening the breast with a cut around the areola or with a vertical incision under the areola. However, if the breast is small, it is preferable to restore the volume by means of silicone implants with tightening.
One of the most frequently asked questions in breast plastic surgery is: “Is it possible to use autologous fat for breast augmentation instead of silicone implants?”
Answer: Although it is technically possible to inject an amount of autologous fat equivalent to the size of the silicone implant, the complication rate will be higher such as the occurrence of calcifications or infections. Melting of part of the injected fat may also lead to breast asymmetry.
Therefore, we consider the injection of autologous fat in the breast to be a complement to silicone breast augmentation or breast lift surgery in order to sculpt and give a more prominent aesthetic shape on the inner and upper side of the breast.
If you complain from excessive sagging abdominal skin with or without the accumulation of fat, then the tummy tuck procedure will be suitable for you.

The first thing you should know about liposuction is that it is not a weight loss method and it cannot repair sagging skin.
Liposuction is performed through small incisions in the skin in various areas of the body, such as the abdomen, arms, thighs and neck.
Technological advances have also contributed to finding methods for dissolving fat, such as lasers and Vaser ultrasound waves, with methods to help light skin tightening from the inside using radiofrequency such as J-plasma and Bodytite.
Autologous fat injection for buttock augmentation has become one of the most popular and requested cosmetic surgeries.
This procedure offers to the selected candidate to get rid of unwanted fat in the abdomen, back, waist and thighs, then transfer it to the buttocks area for a more lifted, enhanced gluts.
Although a very small percentage of fat may dissolve 6 to 8 weeks after the procedure, it remains permanent in time and has a natural look and texture in touch.
The decision to lift the arms depends primarily on the quality and elasticity of the skin on your arms (with or without the accumulation of fat), and secondly on the degree of skin sagging, simple, moderate or severe.
Your plastic surgeon will examine the arms and direct you to the appropriate procedure and technique for lifting the arms.
When arms skin sagging is severe as a result of massive weight loss or aging, arm lift procedure with a longitudinal scar (from the armpit to the elbow) becomes the most appropriate operation. As for the medium and light sagging, it depends on the amount of fat accumulated and the extent of the elasticity of the skin. In these two cases, the appearance of the arms can be improved by using laser technology, Vaser, j-plasma and Bodytite.
Arm lifting using transversal scar hidden under the armpit in cases of moderate skin sagging is less used. The possibility of scar stretching can become a source of patient dissatisfaction.
People who are most likely to undergo a thigh lift surgery are people who suffer from severe thigh skin sagging as a result of massive weight loss. Final scar in this case will be longitudinal, starting from the inner side of the knee and extending to the inner side of the thigh then curves laterally.
In case the sagging is moderate, the final scar can be on the inner and upper sides of the thigh.
360 degrees thighs Liposuction is always used with thigh lift procedures to get a symmetrical shape, as well as to get rid of unwanted fat.
Face and neck lipo-sculpting are among most popular cosmetic procedures nowadays offering well defined jaw line, cheeks and chin. The techniques used in this process are Vaser and radiofrequency. The plastic surgeon performs this procedure through small incisions behind the ears and under the chin.
This surgery has become very common. Its duration does not exceed an hour under local anesthetic, intravenous or general anesthesia as one-day surgery. The sculpting of the face and neck by Vaser and radiofrequency waves is also relatively simple and less invasive than face and neck lift surgery based on patient selection criteria.
Aging causes sagging and drooping of the eyelids with presence of eye bags. It may reflect a tired and sad look. Blepharoplasty aims to improve the shape of your eyelids by removing the excess of skin and fat. This procedure lasts from one to three hours, and it can be combined with other facelift surgeries.
If you notice that the shape of your nose is inconsistent with the rest of the face and causes you psychological inconvenience, rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that can help you to make the necessary adjustments to obtain a nose with a shape that is in line with the natural aesthetic sizes and proportions of your face.

Prominent ears, although it does not affect the sense of hearing, but it affects the psychological health of the person. Children are among the most psychologically affected by the prominent ear. This difference will be quick to notice and may make them subject of ridicule among their colleagues. Therefore, it becomes necessary to reshape the ears and restore self-confidence, especially in children and adults as well. The plastic surgeon will carefully examine the deformities of the ear cartilage, to make a surgical plan to restore the normal shape of the ears. The surgery takes two hours, during which the plastic surgeon performs a three-dimensional restoration of cartilage through an incision behind the ear.
With age, facial skin becomes less elastic and loose, and the distribution of fat in the face changes. The surgical face and neck lift operation aims to give the face a clear and attractive shape and features to appear 10 to 12 years younger.
Face and neck lift surgery is recommended after the age of 40 because non-surgical techniques achieve aesthetic goals at a younger age.
In the traditional surgical face and neck lift, your doctor technically makes an incision in the skin that starts from the hairline and continues around and behind the ears and ends in the scalp.
A face and neck lift cannot treat superficial cracks around the mouth or repair the color changes of sun-damaged skin
All people want a facial rejuvenation procedure that is safe and permanent. Perhaps one of the latest technologies in this field is the use of autologous fat injection and platelet rich plasma. As for the fat, it is suctioned from the unwanted areas and then subjected to centrifugation before being filtered, and then micro fat or nano-fat rich with stem cells is obtained. Then your doctor, according to the case, uses it either to fill the areas of the face or to improve the quality of the skin.
As for the platelet-rich plasma, a sample of the person’s blood is taken and then centrifuged to obtain a sufficient amount and ready to be injected at the level of the face to be brighter, fresh and smooth.
