Increased body weight or a higher body mass index do not directly prevent a person from undergoing abdominal contouring surgery. Of course, scales and BMI provide a general indication, but ultimately what matters is the patient's overall condition and where the fat is located in the body. Surgery is always planned on an individual basis, not solely on the basis of weight.
Social media is one of the most important sources of information today – even when searching for information about plastic surgery. Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube offer a wealth of photos, videos, and patient stories, and many people get their first taste of various aesthetic procedures from them. Although social media can inspire and help you find information, its content also presents certain challenges.
What to do if your previously beautiful breasts feel shriveled and depressed? Perhaps your breasts no longer feel like your own, or you may want a change for another reason. A breast lift alone is not enough, and enlarging the breasts is not the only way to get the best results. In this case, a two-stage operation may be the answer.
Facelift has maintained its place among the most popular aesthetic surgeries for decades. Despite the industry's introduction of various injection treatments, laser, radiofrequency and ultrasound devices, various lifting wires and a variety of face-lifting treatments, there is no winner in the face and neck lift surgical market.
After 35 years of executing breast lifts, one rarely gets to make significant changes considering the operation. Changes should only occur, if they result in making the procedure safer, more indistinguishable, or otherwise end up improving the outcome. Thus, old and proven methods can be used for a very long time, as novelty methods may indeed be rare or apparent.
After a major weight loss, many people may seek answers from plastic surgery as excessive tissue may disrupt everyday life. There are many reasons for this, but usually the desire for surgery is the same: improving quality of life.
In modern medicine, self-determination over one's own body is taken for granted – at least as far as breasts are concerned. Even today, the medical profession as a whole is still plagued by weird attitudes towards mastectomies. Why is there still so much lack of understanding towards a normal procedure such as this?
In recent years, Turkey in particular has gained a foothold as a health tourism destination for aesthetic surgery because of its lower prices. People from the Nordic countries travel to Turkey especially for hair transplants and nose jobs. However, health tourism has its own share of problems everyone should be aware of.
With age, almost everyone's hair thins out. In addition to thinning, the hairline often recedes. There are several types of baldness, with some people losing their hair first, known as the bald patch, while others lose their sides, or forehead and temple area.
With ageing, weight loss or weight fluctuations, it's natural for the upper arms to start loosening, stretching and sagging – sometimes to an extent that compromises quality of life. Sagging shoulders can be mended either by liposuction or by surgery. However, the choice of operation always depends on the individual.
What are the differences between upper eyelid surgery, eyebrow lifts and brow lifts? And what different options and techniques are there for these procedures, and when is it appropriate to consider each option? In this article we will take a closer look at the different types of reconstructive surgery for the upper eyelids, eyebrows and forehead.
Intimate surgery is becoming more and more common. The reason for seeking surgical treatment can be discomfort caused by enlarged or asymmetrical labia, which, for example, causes disturbance when playing sports or getting dressed.
Breast removal is a common surgery and the most common reason for surgery is sex correction. Other reasons include fear of breast cancer, genetic exposure to breast cancer or an irreversible desire to get rid of one's breasts.
It can be a daily concern when the mirror no longer shows a firm stomach, but rather loose abdominal skin, for example, after pregnancy or weight loss.
Sometimes reality can be stranger than fiction. Or how does it sound if you could fix back problems by patching up your stomach? Post-pregnancy urinary leakage may also stop after the procedure.
Plastic surgery is often understood by two extremes: aesthetic surgery and reconstructive surgery.
Plastic surgeon Des Fernandez has dedicated his life to the study and treatment of skin ageing.
Treating sunburn starts with avoiding the sun, or at least minimising it. Sunscreens can help prevent the skin from burning, but it's worth remembering that even the strongest protection will not prevent all damage sun does to the skin.
A long time ago, when I was a general practitioner in my home town of Vaasa, an elderly lady came to my office. Her face had seen a lot of life and sunlight.
An old Finnish saying "priimaa pukkaa vaikka sutta yrittää" (prime quality even with a bad attempt) turned on its head "a bad attempt with an aim for prime quality" describes the life of a surgeon at its harshest.
Under the Treatment Guarantee, you must get help for a particular condition within a certain time.
Hardly anyone has been admitted to intensive care or died for lack of aesthetic surgery. Does this then mean aesthetic surgery is pointless?
