Lip correction (lip plastic surgery, cheiloplasty) | Plastic surgery – What is cosmetic surgery?

Lip correction (lip plastic surgery, cheiloplasty)

This method is used in cosmetic surgery and for cleft lip and palate. A distinction is made between the lifting of the upper lip (lip lift), the reduction and enlargement of the lip. Enlargement of the lip can be achieved by padding with the patient’s own fat, connective tissue, biological or plastic materials.

Breast Surgery

–> Continue to the topics breast lift and breast augmentation.

• Breast lift (mastopexy): This procedure lifts and reshapes sagging, sagging breasts. At the same time the breast can be reduced or enlarged at the patient’s request.
• Breast reduction: To reduce the volume of the breast, glandular and fatty tissue, as well as excess skin is removed before the areola and nipple are repositioned.
• Breast augmentation (breast augmentation): Silicone implants are inserted under the mammary gland or breast muscle to increase the volume of the breast. The incision is made in the armpit, the inframammary fold or in the area of the areola and is therefore hardly visible. A special complication is capsule fibrosis, which can still occur a few years after the operation and makes a new operation necessary.

Liposuction (liposuction)

This cosmetic surgery is mostly used on the buttocks, stomach or thighs. Fatty tissue is sucked out through a cannula. Superfluous skin shrinks in the course of scar formation. The result can only be conclusively assessed after 3-4 months. –> Continue to the topic of liposuction.

Hair transplantation (transplantation of own hair roots)

In this operation, bald areas on the head or other regions are filled with hair roots from the back of the head/neck, so that hair grows there again after about 3 months. For this purpose, the removed hair roots are transplanted individually or in groups of 2-3 roots at the desired location in the skin tubules. –> Continue to the topic hair transplantation.

Wrinkle treatment (facelift, face lift, face lift)

This method is mainly used in the face and neck area (facelift). The appearance should be rejuvenated without changing the facial expression and facial expressions. For this purpose, the corresponding layers (skin, muscle, fat and connective tissue) are tightened.

The incisions are made in such a way that no conspicuous scars appear on the face. In cosmetic surgery, this procedure is often combined with a forehead lift, where the eyebrows are raised. –> Continue to the topic wrinkle treatment.
