Specialties and Surgical Procedures
The clinic offers body contouring and facial surgery options focused on long-term harmony. Procedures use both traditional and energy-assisted methods. Available body procedures include:
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to reconstruct abdominal wall muscles
- Liposuction using Vaser or laser technologies for targeted fat removal
- Liposculpture and Body Jet liposuction
- Tumescent liposuction
- Gynecomastia treatment for male breast reduction
Abdominoplasty typically takes 2–4 hours and may require hospitalization. Patients generally return to work after 2 weeks and resume exercise after one month. Liposuction sessions also last 2–4 hours and include a 10-day course of post-operative massages.
The practice offers breast surgeries to address sagging or volume changes. These procedures often correct issues caused by pregnancy, weight shifts, or aging. Options include:
- Mastopexy (breast lift) with or without silicone implants
- Breast augmentation using silicone implants
- Breast reduction
- Male breast augmentation
Breast lift and augmentation procedures usually take 2–3 hours. No hospitalization is required, and most patients return to work within 5 days. For facial aesthetics, the clinic performs otoplasty to reshape or reposition the ears. This 2-hour outpatient procedure does not require an overnight stay.
Medical Technologies
The clinic uses energy-based platforms to improve surgical precision during fat removal. These tools reduce trauma to surrounding tissues. Available technologies include:
- Vaser – ultrasound energy used to break up fat cells
- Laser – heat waves used to liquefy fat and tighten skin
- Body Jet – water-assisted liposuction technology
