Specialties and Surgical Procedures

The clinic offers aesthetic and reconstructive surgeries. Each procedure includes pre-operative guidance and long-term follow-up.

Facial Rejuvenation

Specialists perform the Deep Plane Facelift to address advanced aging signs. Results are tracked with photos at 30 and 60 days. For non-surgical lifting, the clinic uses the 8 Point Lift method with MD Codes. This technique applies dermal fillers like Juvéderm Voluma to restore cheek and zygomatic volume.

Body Contouring and Liposuction

The clinic offers several methods for body reshaping and fat reduction:

• Renuvion technology for tissue contraction and collagen stimulation
• VASER Lipo for ultrasound-assisted fat removal
• Gluteoplasty using cohesive silicone implants or autologous fat grafting (BBL)
• Abdominoplasty and mini-abdominoplasty for abdominal laxity

Surgeons place gluteal implants under or within the gluteus maximus muscle. This procedure typically takes around 2 hours.

Rhinoplasty and Calf Augmentation

Rhinoplasty addresses both aesthetic concerns and breathing issues. Surgery takes about 1–2 hours, and patients often go home the same day. Calf augmentation is available for both men and women using silicone prostheses. The procedure takes about 50 minutes. Surgeons use cyanoacrylate glue for skin closure, so there are no external stitches.

Pediatric Plastic Surgery

The clinic treats congenital conditions in children. These include otoplasty for ear correction and treatments for polydactyly (extra digits). Specialists also use the EarWell system for non-surgical infant ear correction.

Treatment Technologies

Planning tools focus on accuracy and patient visualization. Crisalix 3D scanning lets patients see simulated results before surgery. For skin closure, the clinic uses the Dermabond Prineo system – a surgical glue and mesh combination that replaces traditional external stitches. MRI and CT scans are available at affiliated hospitals.

Services for International Patients

The clinic treats patients from abroad, including the United States. International care is coordinated through JCI-accredited hospitals. This includes full anesthetic management and a complete surgical support team. The medical staff includes anesthetists and surgical assistants with over 20 years of experience each. Specialists provide post-operative recovery schedules, including guidance on compression garments and lymphatic drainage.
