Cosmetic plastic surgery in Lucknow

Liposuction (also called lipoplasty or liposculpture) removes excess fat to contour the body. It is most often used on the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, neck and ankles. The surgeon inserts a thin tube (cannula) through tiny incisions and suctions out the fat.

Several techniques exist: suction-assisted (SAL), ultrasound-assisted (UAL), power-assisted (PAL) and laser-assisted (LAL). Your surgeon will advise which suits you.

A tummy tuck flattens the abdomen. It removes loose skin left after major weight loss or childbirth, tightens the abdominal muscles and removes fat. It can also remove stretch marks on the skin that is taken away.

Unlike liposuction, which removes fat only, an abdominoplasty also tightens muscle and removes excess skin. When only the skin below the belly button needs removing, a mini tummy tuck may be enough. Contour liposuction is usually done at the same time as a full tummy tuck.

A body lift combines several operations to remove extra skin after significant weight loss, often after bariatric surgery. A lower body lift usually includes a buttock lift, thigh lift and tummy tuck. An upper body lift often includes an arm lift (brachioplasty) and back lift, with a breast lift for women. A full body lift combines both, usually several months apart.

A combination of procedures, done in one operation, to restore the body after pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. It is planned around each patient but usually includes a tummy tuck (sometimes with repair of separated abdominal muscles), breast surgery (augmentation, lift or reduction) and liposuction.

A combination of procedures for men who want a firmer, more defined appearance when diet and exercise have not been enough. It can be as simple as injectables, skin treatments or hair restoration, or include liposuction and a tummy tuck for the waist and abdomen.

Calf implants add shape to calves that do not respond to exercise. Gluteal augmentation adds volume and shape to under-developed or poorly proportioned buttocks.

Varicose veins form when the valves inside veins weaken and blood pools, making the veins swell. Treatment is recommended for large or prominent veins, or when they cause burning, aching, soreness or cramps.

Morbid obesity (a BMI of 40 or more) can interfere with basic functions such as breathing and walking. Weight-loss (bariatric) surgery reduces hunger and appetite, reverses some of the hormonal changes behind obesity, and makes weight easier to maintain.

Breast augmentation increases breast volume with implants or with your own fat. It can also restore volume lost with age, weight loss, pregnancy or breastfeeding. With fat transfer, fat is taken from an area such as the abdomen or thighs by liposuction and injected into the breasts; sometimes fat is used with an implant so it sits more naturally.

Breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) removes extra fat, tissue and skin from large breasts that are out of proportion with the body or cause neck pain, back pain or other symptoms.

A breast lift raises and reshapes breasts that have lost firmness, and can correct drooping nipples and stretched areolas. If volume is too little or too much, augmentation or reduction may be combined with the lift.

A face lift (rhytidectomy) treats signs of ageing in the face and neck: sagging mid-face, jowls, neck folds, a double chin, lines around the mouth and wrinkles. Deeper tissues are tightened and the skin re-draped.

A brow (forehead) lift removes sagging skin and repositions the eyebrows, reducing hooding over the eyes and smoothing deep forehead lines, while keeping natural expression.

Eyelid surgery removes excess skin and tightens the muscles of the upper and/or lower lids for a fresher, less tired look. Drooping upper-lid skin can also block vision.

Adds volume and definition to the mid-face with an implant or with filler.

Lip surgery changes the size and shape of the lips. Lip reduction (reduction cheiloplasty) reduces large or protruding lips; lip augmentation makes lips fuller. It can be done alone or with other facial procedures.

Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose for appearance or breathing. It can correct a hump, a crooked nose or the nose's size and shape, and can reconstruct the nasal passages to correct problems such as a deviated septum.

Chin surgery gives the chin a shape that suits the face. Depending on the chin, this may mean augmentation with an implant, or treatment of fat under the chin (a double chin).

Dermabrasion and dermaplaning smooth the skin's top layers by controlled surgical abrasion. They improve scars from injury, surgery or acne, and fine facial wrinkles.

Otoplasty changes the size, position or proportion of the ears: pinning back ears that stick out, matching ears that sit at different heights, or reducing large ears.
