FACE FAT TRANSFER
Facial fat transfer also known as fat grafting is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves harvesting fat from one part of the body, commonly the abdomen, thighs, or flanks and injecting it into specific areas of the face. As we age, our skin loses elasticity and collagen, leading to sagging and the formation of wrinkles. Additionally, the underlying fat pads in the face diminish and shift, resulting in a loss of volume and a hollow or gaunt appearance. Fat transfer can effectively combat these changes by replenishing lost volume and improving the skin's texture and tone.
RHINOPLASTY (NOSE JOB)
Rhinoplasty, also referred to as nose reshaping or a nose job, is a surgical procedure aimed at altering the shape and appearance of the nose. Nose plays a crucial role in facial appearance. Dr. Hirra Alavi specializes in nose surgery, regularly performs this procedure in her practice to make the nose look better while giving natural results.
BROWLIFT
Browlift surgery, also known as a forehead lift, is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the upper part of the face by lifting and tightening the skin on the forehead and brow area. This surgery helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, creases, and sagging skin, giving a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Browlift surgery addresses these issues by lifting drooping brows, smoothing forehead wrinkles and improving frown lines.
BLEPHAROPLASTY
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid lift surgery, is a transformative procedure that addresses concerns related to the upper and lower eyelids. This surgery can significantly enhance the appearance of the eyes, providing a more youthful, rested, and alert look. It is a popular choice among patients seeking to rejuvenate their facial appearance and improve vision obstructed by drooping eyelids.
FACELIFT AND NECKLIFT
In the world of aesthetic surgery, facelift (rhytidectomy) and necklift procedures are among the most sought-after solutions for combating the signs of aging. A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the visible signs of aging in the face and neck. This can include sagging skin, deep creases, and the loss of muscle tone. The goal of a facelift is to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance by tightening underlying muscles, removing excess fat, and re-draping the skin over the new contours. The myth that facelift makes a face look over stretched and unnatural has been debunked. Modern facelifts give very natural results that even your relatives are not able to tell you had a facelift. They just compliment you on how fresh you look.
OTOPLASTY
Otoplasty, also known as ear surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape, reposition, or resize the ears. This surgical intervention is commonly sought by individuals who are self-conscious about their ears' appearance due to congenital deformities, trauma, or simply aesthetic preferences. The most common reason for otoplasty is to address prominent ears, which can protrude significantly from the head. However, the procedure can also correct other deformities but it does not affect hearing in any way.
BUCCAL FAT REMOVAL
Buccal fat removal surgery, also known as cheek reduction surgery or buccal lipectomy, has gained popularity as a cosmetic procedure aimed at refining the facial contours by reducing the fullness of the cheeks. This procedure appeals to individuals seeking a slimmer, more sculpted facial appearance. Understanding the intricacies of buccal fat removal can help patients make informed decisions about their cosmetic goals and the potential outcomes of this transformative surgery.
LIP LIFT
Lip lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to elevate the position of the upper lip, creating a fuller and more youthful appearance. Unlike lip augmentation, which involves injecting fillers to add volume, a lip lift shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip (the philtrum), which can elongate with age. This results in a more pronounced and aesthetically pleasing upper lip.
NANOFAT TRANSFER FOR DARK CIRCLES
Dark circles under the eyes are a common cosmetic concern for many people. They can make one look tired, aged, and less vibrant. Various factors contribute to the appearance of dark circles, including genetics, aging, lifestyle, and health conditions. While there are numerous topical treatments and cosmetic procedures aimed at reducing dark circles, fat grafting has emerged as a highly effective and natural solution.
FAT GRAFTING FOR ACNE SCARS
Atrophic acne scars are typically categorized into three main types, ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars. They appear as depressions or indentations in the skin. Acne scars can have a significant impact on a person’s self-esteem and overall quality of life. Despite various treatments available, some scars, especially those that are deep and tethered, may require more advanced procedures to achieve optimal results. Two such effective treatments are subcision and fat grafting.
NECK LIPOSUCTION
Neck liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical technique focused on removing excess fat from the neck area. This procedure is ideal for individuals with good skin elasticity and isolated fat deposits that create a "double chin" or undefined jawline. Unlike traditional weight loss methods, which often cannot target specific areas, neck liposuction directly addresses these localized fat deposits, providing immediate and noticeable results contributing to a smoother and more aesthetically pleasing profile.
MICRONEEDLING WITH NANOFAT
Skin rejuvenation is a primary concern for many individuals seeking to maintain a youthful and vibrant appearance. Among the plethora of treatments available, microneedling with nanofat stands out as a highly effective and innovative procedure.
SCAR REVISION
Scar revision is a specialized field within plastic surgery focused on improving the appearance of scars. Whether resulting from surgery, trauma, burns, or other injuries, scars can significantly impact a person's self-esteem and quality of life.
EAR LOBE REDUCTION
Earlobe reduction is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at resizing and reshaping large or elongated earlobes to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Earlobe reduction involves the careful excision of excess skin and tissue from the earlobe. This procedure is particularly popular among individuals who feel self-conscious about their earlobes' size or shape, whether due to genetics, aging, or the effects of wearing heavy earrings over time.
BOTOX
Botox, a trade name for botulinum toxin, has become a household name in the realm of cosmetic procedures. Derived from the bacterium *Clostridium botulinum*, this neurotoxin is primarily known for its ability to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles.
FILLERS
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers have become a popular choice for those looking to enhance their facial features without undergoing surgery. These fillers can help smooth out wrinkles, restore lost volume, and improve facial contours.
MESOTHERAPY
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that has gained significant popularity for its effectiveness in skin and hair rejuvenation. Mesotherapy involves the administration of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and plant extracts through microinjections into the middle layer of the skin, known as the mesoderm. This technique is designed to rejuvenate and tighten skin, as well as stimulate hair growth, providing a minimally invasive solution to a variety of aesthetic concerns.
EXOSOMES
Exosomes are tiny, nanoscale particles naturally produced by our cells. Think of them as little packages that carry important messages between cells. These packages are filled with proteins, lipids, and genetic material, which are crucial for cell communication. In simpler terms, you can imagine exosomes as delivery trucks that transport essential cargo between different locations (cells) in your body. This cargo helps maintain healthy skin, promote healing, and even combat aging.
PRP (PLATELET RICH PLASMA)
PRP therapy involves the extraction of a patient’s blood, which is then processed to concentrate the platelets. Platelets are a type of blood cell that play a critical role in healing and tissue regeneration. By injecting this concentrated platelet-rich plasma back into the targeted areas of the body, PRP stimulates and accelerates the body’s natural healing process, enhancing tissue repair and regeneration. PRP therapy offers a range of benefits from facial rejuvenation to scar reduction and hair restoration.
BOTOX FACIAL
A Botox facial, also known as a micro-Botox or intradermal Botox treatment, involves the application of Botox (Botulinum Toxin) in micro-doses across the face. Unlike traditional Botox treatments, which target specific muscles to reduce wrinkles, a Botox facial aims to improve overall skin texture, minimize pore size, and reduce fine lines. This technique uses tiny needles to administer Botox just below the skin's surface, ensuring a more even distribution and subtle, yet effective, results.
MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves using a device fitted with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These controlled micro injuries kickstart your skin’s natural healing process, leading to a host of benefits that can leave you looking fresher and younger. If you're seeking a non-invasive yet highly effective way to rejuvenate your skin, reduce scars, or simply give your face a radiant boost, microneedling could be the perfect solution for you.
CO2 LASER
The CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser is a highly precise and effective tool used for skin resurfacing. It not only removes damaged or unwanted skin but also stimulates the production of collagen, leading to smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin. This advanced laser technology has revolutionized the field of plastic surgery, providing remarkable results for a variety of skin concerns.
CARBON LASER
A carbon laser treatment combines the use of carbon lotion and laser technology to rejuvenate and cleanse the skin. The procedure begins with the application of a thin layer of carbon-based lotion to the skin. This lotion penetrates the pores and adheres to any debris, dead skin cells, and excess oil. Once the carbon lotion has dried, a laser is used to target the carbon particles. The laser energy heats and vaporizes the carbon, removing it along with the impurities attached to it.
HYDRAFACIAL
HydraFacial is a non-invasive, multi-step facial treatment that combines the benefits of next-level hydradermabrasion, a chemical peel, automated painless extractions, and a special delivery of antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and peptides. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and addresses a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, elasticity and firmness, even tone and vibrancy, skin texture, brown spots, oily and congested skin, and enlarged pores.
LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Laser hair removal has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in recent years, offering a permanent solution to unwanted hair. Laser hair removal works by targeting the melanin (pigment) in hair follicles with concentrated light beams. The laser's energy is absorbed by the melanin, which damages the follicle enough to inhibit future hair growth. This process requires precision and expertise to ensure that the surrounding skin is not damaged while effectively targeting the hair follicles.
CHEMICAL PEELS
Chemical peels are a popular cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the skin. They involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the top layers to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is typically smoother, less wrinkled, and may have more even pigmentation.
ACNE SCAR TREATMENTS
Atrophic acne scars, characterized by depressions in the skin's surface, can significantly impact an individual's confidence and self-esteem. Fortunately, advancements in aesthetic medicine have led to various effective treatments to address these scars, providing hope for those seeking smoother, more radiant skin.
DIMPLEPLASTY
Dimple creation surgery, also known as dimpleplasty, is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to add a charming and youthful aesthetic to the face. Dimples are small indentations that form when the facial muscles pull on the skin, creating a charming and endearing smile. While natural dimples are considered a genetic trait, dimple creation surgery allows individuals to achieve this coveted feature through a simple and minimally invasive procedure.
