This website provides content and information of a general nature about the different Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery procedures available in medicine, in order to improve cosmetic and functional problems of the human body.

Plastic Surgery has
two functions:

Primarily, RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY, which includes Microsurgery, the purpose of which is to hide and to reconstruct the destructive effects of an accident or trauma, with techniques of osteosynthesis, transfer of tissue using grafts from other parts of the healthy body to the affected areas. And secondly, COSMETIC SURGERY, the purpose of which is to change those parts of the body that the patient finds unsatisfactory and wishes to improve.

The difference between Cosmetic Surgery and Reconstructive Surgery is at times undefinable as many Cosmetic Surgical procedures resolve a pathology which affects function and other Plastic Reconstructive procedures substantially improve the aesthetic of a patient.

Typical Cosmetic Surgery procedures are:

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Reshaping and re-firming of the abdomen and stomach.
Eye bag removal and brow lifts (Blepharoplasty): Surgery for the rejuvenation of the eyelids, restoration of skin and removal of bags under the eyes.
Breast implants or breast enlargement (Mammoplasty): Surgery using implants to enlarge the bust and reshape of the breasts.
Breast lift (Mastopexy): By lifting the breasts we achieve a firming effect.
Breast reduction (Mammoplasty): Breast reduction.
Nose re-shaping (Rhinoplasty): Improves the aesthetic of the nose.
Ear re-shaping (Otoplasty): Corrects defects of the ears.
Facelift: By removing the wrinkles, the face is rejuvenated.
Liposuction or Liposculpture: shape/removal of body fat.
Male breast surgery (Gynecomastia): Corrects the pathological enlargement of mammary glands in men.
Scars, Genitals, Lip Enhancement, Botox, etc.

All the surgical procedures are performed by a highly qualified team. And are carried out in specialist facilities which comply with the strictest measures of health and safety.
