Liposuction can remove radically and permanently localized fat excess. Liposuction is not a method of weight loss and its goal is not to control the weight of the patient or the patient. Despite good health and a reasonable level of fitness, some people may still have a body with disproportionate contours due to localized fat deposits. These areas may be due to family traits rather than a lack of weight control or fitness. Liposuction slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposit, improving body contours and proportion, and ultimately enhancing the patient’s self-image. It can be applied to many regions of the body: “saddlebags” of course, but the hips, buttocks, abdomen, thighs, knees, calves, ankles, upper arms and chest area . Technical improvements have also helped to extend its action in the face and neck such as cheek, chin and neck.

The operation is designed to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck such as sagging in the midface, deep creases below the lower eyelids, deep creases between the nose and mouth, fat that has fallen or is displaced, loss of muscle tone in the lower face that may create jowls and loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw. A facelift is designed to correct all of these aging features, restoring a more youthful , rested appearance with uplifted contours and improved tone in facial skin and underlying muscle. Face and neck are somehow ‘reconstructed’ and ‘restructured’.

While the shape of the nose is usually the result of heredity ; the appearance may have been altered in an injury or during prior surgery or simply by aging. Also known as rhinoplasty, surgery of the nose can change the morphology of the nasal pyramid (either partially or totally) by improving the appearance and proportion of the nose. The goal is to get a nose look natural, harmonious with other facial features and enhancing self confidence. The procedure, performed as well in women than in men, can be scheduled at the end of growth starting at 16 years old. Surgery of the nose may also correct impaired breathing caused by structural defects in the nose. Rhinoplasty can change : - Nose size, in relation to facial balance - Nose width, at the bridge or in the size and position of the nostrils - Nose profile, with visible humps or depressions on the bridge - Nasal tip, that is enlarged or bulbous, drooping, upturned or hooked - Nostrils that are large, wide or upturned - Nasal asymmetry
