      Patient’s Safety. The number one issue. Any intervention must be performed at an accredited facility only by a board certified Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon. By that means we assure our safety and we guarantee that the maximum experience and knowledge will be addressed within the best possible way. 

       Rhinoplasty. The artistry of sculpting at its magnitude. A surgery that can last from 30 min up to 3 hours. From simple resections to complete reshaping by grafts and fillers. Also a matter of ethnicity. A worldwide accepted beauty form does not exist. A perfect match to our face and personality is principally what matters in addition to what the patient desires and what can be delivered.

·     Eyelids. 4 best ways to lift your eyebrow reshape your eyelids and growth your eyelashes effectively. A combination of micro fat grafting, fillers, Botox and minimally invasive techniques are available now.

·       Face and neck rejuvenation. How we can transform a hippo to a swan. Regenerative surgery for true facial rejuvenation. Organic Cosmetic Surgery, PRP with growth factors injections and again micro fat grafting techniques. Everything in our hands but cautiously applied.

·    Body Contouring. Mini lipo abdominoplasty, Safe liposuction, 3D Hi definition power assisted body sculpting, scar less belly buttons, Brazilian Gluteoplasty are the new trends. When liposuction is not enough and finally surgery is needed? Post weight loss patient need special attention by experienced surgeons at well-equipped facilities.

·     Stem cells enriched therapy, structural fat grafting even in large volumes and growth factors applied by micro injections are our new tools to enhance our surgical outcomes for scars, facial rejuvenation, large volume fat grafting of the buttocks and lipomodelling of the breast.

·     Aesthetic Breast surgery. Composite breast augmentation mastopexy with lipomodelling and implants. Painless techniques. 3D implants available now for natural results. Short scar yes but only when indicated. Internal bras new concepts applied.

·    Cosmetic Medicine. Cellulite treatments by tissue recycling and minimal invasive laser approach, fat grafts versus fillers, ultrasonic body contouring, new lasers for improving final aesthetic surgical results, PRP and mesotherapy cocktails rich in growth factors and stem cells combined with Botox for scratched faces.

·       And do not forget that multispecialty clinics are the best options for offering cosmetic treatments. A group consisting of a plastic surgeon, dermatologist, dentist, laser therapist and a massage beauty therapist ideally. Websites are useful do get an idea but sometimes can be really dangerous. Always meet and trust the doctor that you have been referred to.
