It all depends on the type of surgery and its purpose. If it is cosmetic surgery aimed at improving appearance, then not before the age of 18. But if surgery is necessary for medical reasons, then there are no age restrictions. These are usually operations to correct protruding ears, disproportionate ear lobes, cleft lip, scar removal, etc.

The shell of certified breast implants is made of a special material that is biologically inert, i.e. the material is non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, hypoallergenic, non-thrombogenic, etc. The tabloid press often publishes articles claiming that implants may not take root, but there is no adequate argument to support this. Indeed, there is a small percentage (about 3%) of all cases where complications arise after surgery. But even here, it should be understood that some of them are associated with the patient's improper rehabilitation period: excessive activity, concomitant diseases, refusal to wear compression garments, etc. Less than 1% of cases are associated with medical staff error.

Typically, women can enjoy the results of a breast lift for 10 to 15 years. After that, the patient may need to see a plastic surgeon to determine whether she needs further breast correction or not. The appearance of your breasts after surgery may be affected by factors such as the general ageing process, lifestyle, genetics, etc. Therefore, the longevity of the results of a breast lift varies in each individual case.

The formation of fibrous tissue around the implant is a natural reaction of the body to a foreign body. The process of capsule formation takes two to three months, depending on the characteristics of the body. In order for the capsule to form correctly, it is necessary to follow all the doctor's recommendations during the rehabilitation period. Avoid physical exercises that involve the chest muscles, wear compression garments recommended by your surgeon, sleep on your back for the first 2 weeks, avoid jumping, etc.

Fibrocystic formations (mastopathy) are not a contraindication for reduction mammoplasty. You must first undergo a preoperative examination and obtain permission from a mammologist. In addition, the specialist may recommend removing the formations during the operation, followed by histological examination of the material.

The cost of plastic surgery depends on many factors: the surgeon's qualifications, the level of the clinic, the equipment, the patient's conditions during rehabilitation, etc. In Ukraine, the price tag for rhinoplasty starts at $3,000. But this cost is not always accurate, as it is the minimum, to which several thousand more are added after consultation. At our clinic, the cost of the operation is fixed in the price list. The price of rhinoplasty is $5,000, and repeat rhinoplasty is $6,000. You can find more details about the price list at this link.

No, they cannot. Bichat's fat pads can be permanently removed through surgery. A simple operation to remove Bichat's fat pads, performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, takes an average of 40 minutes and allows you to permanently get rid of the aesthetic problem of loose cheeks. Bichat's fat pads can be partially removed by injecting indirect lipolytics. However, only surgical removal can ensure a long-lasting, stable result.

Ligature eyebrow lift is performed when the patient is not ready for surgery or it is contraindicated for some reason. This method allows you to raise the eyebrows, as well as smooth out the unevenness of the lower jaw and neck contour. The ligature lift technique can improve the appearance of these areas of the face, tighten and rejuvenate them. The results of a ligature eyebrow lift last for more than two years. The advantage of this technique is that there are no incisions. During a ligature lift, the doctor uses a thin needle device to attach specific threads to the immovable structures of the face. As a result, the skin of the face is lifted.

Yes, these two procedures can be combined, which will help you change faster and save time on rehabilitation. However, the final decision on performing simultaneous surgery is made by the plastic surgeon after consultation and examination, based on the patient's health condition.

It all depends on your goals and individual facial proportions. Fillers provide almost instant changes to the jawline, without the need for recovery time or anaesthesia (except for local anaesthetic). The results of filler injections usually last up to 2 years, so if you want to maintain the results, you will need to repeat the procedure from time to time. Chin augmentation with implants is performed if the patient has a significant disproportion in the size/shape of the chin relative to the face. This surgical procedure has long-lasting results, but requires a certain amount of time for recovery, is more expensive than fillers, and requires anaesthesia (local anaesthesia with intravenous sedation or general anaesthesia).

Swelling after surgery is normal. Gradually, over the course of 1-3 weeks, it will subside and the nose will take on a more refined shape. For successful healing, the patient must follow all the doctor's recommendations and refrain from self-medication. Under no circumstances should you use anti-inflammatory gels and compresses on your own. If the swelling is very bothersome, you should consult your doctor, who will prescribe medication if necessary. What can help:
1) Get plenty of rest;
2) Refrain from using cosmetics;
3) Refrain from facial massage;
4) Limit physical activity involving bending over;
5) Do not take hot showers or baths.

Yes, it is possible. Very often, to achieve optimal results, plastic surgeons combine abdominoplasty with liposuction. This helps not only to correct the figure by removing excess fat deposits, but also to remove excess skin at the same time. Although combining these operations is not contraindicated, the final decision is made by a specialist after consultation and examination of the patient.

Recovery after brachioplasty takes about two weeks. You will need to take time off work during this period. Doctors do not recommend driving or lifting heavy objects for two to four weeks after the procedure. Avoid physical exertion and sudden movements involving the upper body. Keep your arms raised from time to time: this will help reduce post-operative swelling. You should also wear a compression bandage for 6 weeks after surgery, as it helps reduce bruising and swelling and facilitates your recovery. During the recovery period, you should refrain from smoking, as nicotine can negatively affect the healing process.

Women are often interested in whether they will be able to experience the joy of motherhood after abdominoplasty. Yes, after this type of surgery, you can become pregnant and give birth. But there is one thing to consider. If you are planning to become pregnant in the near future, it is better to postpone the surgery. This is because during pregnancy, the muscles and skin of the abdomen stretch, which negates the effect of the surgery. You can find out more about the specifics of tummy tucks on the page.
