Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the difference between plastic surgery, reconstructive surgery, and aesthetic surgery?
Plastic surgery is a broad field that includes both reconstructive and aesthetic procedures. Reconstructive surgery focuses on restoring form and function after trauma, congenital issues, or medical treatments such as cancer surgery. Aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery is performed to enhance appearance and improve body proportions. Specialized clinics offer all, ensuring safe, customized outcomes.

2. What are the most common procedures in aesthetic breast surgery?
Aesthetic breast surgery includes augmentation (implants or fat transfer), breast lift (mastopexy), and breast reduction. These procedures aim to achieve natural, proportionate results while addressing concerns such as sagging, asymmetry, or volume changes after pregnancy or weight loss.

3. What are the latest techniques in body contouring after massive weight loss?
Specialized clinics now use advanced techniques like Vaser liposuction, high-definition body sculpting, body lifts, and abdominoplasty. These approaches focus not only on removing excess skin and fat, but also on enhancing muscle definition, tightening tissues, and restoring balanced body proportions.

4. How is regenerative medicine used in modern plastic surgery?
Regenerative medicine is increasingly integrated into plastic surgery and it includes techniques, such as stem-cell enriched fat transfer, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and tissue engineering, that all work on promoting healing, improving skin quality, and enhancing long-term surgical outcomes.

5. What is a mommy makeover and who is a good candidate?
A mommy makeover combines multiple procedures such as tummy tuck, breast lift or augmentation, and liposuction to restore body shape after pregnancy. Good candidates are women in good overall health, who have completed the childbearing stage and want to maintain a stable weight.
