Frequently Asked Question

❓ How is breast augmentation performed?

Breast augmentation is performed by placing silicone or saline implants under the breast tissue or chest muscle. The procedure is done under general anesthesia and typically involves a small incision made in the armpit, under the breast, or around the areola. Surgery takes about 1 to 2 hours and aims to enhance breast size and shape with natural-looking results.

❓ Is breast prosthesis obvious when looked from the outside?

No, modern breast implants are designed to look and feel natural. When performed by an experienced surgeon and with the right implant size and placement, they are not noticeable from the outside.

❓ Does breast aesthetics damage milk ducts?

No, most breast aesthetic surgeries do not harm the milk ducts. Especially in breast augmentation, the implants are placed behind the breast tissue or muscle, preserving the milk ducts and allowing future breastfeeding.

❓ What shape should the breast prosthesis be?

Breast implants come in round and anatomical (teardrop) shapes. The ideal shape depends on the patient’s body structure, aesthetic goals, and the surgeon’s recommendations. Both options can provide natural-looking results when properly selected.

❓ Is there any scar after breast augmentation surgery?

Yes, but the scars are minimal and usually fade over time. The incision is typically 4–5 cm and placed discreetly in the armpit, under the breast, or around the areola. With proper healing, scars become barely noticeable.

❓ Does the breast prosthesis have a certain period of use?

Modern breast implants are long-lasting and often do not need replacement for decades. However, regular check-ups are recommended, and replacement may be needed in case of complications or personal preference over time.

❓ Who can have breast aesthetics?

Breast aesthetic procedures are suitable for healthy individuals over 18 who seek cosmetic or reconstructive changes. Ideal candidates include those with underdeveloped breasts, volume loss after pregnancy, sagging, or asymmetry. A medical consultation is necessary to assess eligibility.

❓ Is breast lift surgery permanent?

Breast lift results are long-lasting but not completely permanent. Aging, gravity, weight changes, and pregnancy can affect the shape over time. Maintaining a stable weight and wearing supportive bras can help preserve the results.

❓ How long after birth can breast lift surgery be performed?

Breast lift surgery is usually recommended at least 6 months after breastfeeding ends. This allows the breasts to return to their natural size and shape, ensuring more accurate surgical planning and better results.

❓ Does breast prosthesis cause cancer?

No, there is no proven link between silicone breast implants and breast cancer. Breast prostheses are FDA-approved and widely used. However, rare cases of a cancer called BIA-ALCL have been reported with certain textured implants. Regular check-ups and follow-ups are important for safety.

❓ When can I return to work after breast aesthetics?

Most patients can return to work within 5 to 7 days after breast aesthetic surgery. Recovery time may vary depending on the type of procedure and the patient’s job. Light-duty jobs are usually manageable within a week, while physically demanding work may require more time off.

❓ What is a breast lift operation?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes and lifts sagging breasts without changing their size. It is performed to correct breast drooping caused by aging, weight loss, or pregnancy. The goal is to achieve a firmer, more youthful breast contour.

❓ Who can have a breast lift operation?

A breast lift is ideal for women with sagging or uneven breasts who are in good overall health. Suitable candidates include those who are not planning pregnancy soon, have realistic expectations, and are bothered by the shape or position of their breasts.

❓ How do we know if there is sagging in the breasts?

Breast sagging can be identified if the nipples point downward or fall below the breast crease. Other signs include loss of firmness, flattened breast shape, or stretched skin. A simple test is to see if the nipple is lower than the fold under the breast when standing upright.

❓ What causes sagging breasts?

Sagging breasts are usually caused by aging, gravity, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. Over time, the skin and ligaments lose elasticity, leading to a loss of firmness and a downward shift in breast position.

❓ Is a prosthesis used in breast lift?

A breast lift does not always require a prosthesis, but implants can be used if volume enhancement is desired. When the breasts are both saggy and lacking fullness, combining a lift with a silicone implant provides better shape and projection.

❓ Is local anesthesia applied during the operation?

Breast aesthetic surgeries are usually performed under general anesthesia for maximum comfort and safety. In some minor procedures or touch-ups, local anesthesia with sedation may be considered, depending on the case and surgeon’s recommendation.

❓ What are the things to be considered before the operation?

Before breast surgery, patients should stop smoking, avoid blood-thinning medications, and follow the doctor’s pre-op instructions. A detailed medical evaluation, blood tests, and imaging may be required. It's also important to arrange post-op support and plan for a short recovery period.

❓ Is there a certain season for the operation?

Breast surgeries can be performed in any season, but many patients prefer autumn or winter for easier recovery. Cooler weather allows for more comfortable use of post-op garments and easier scar protection from sun exposure.

❓ Is it possible to have a postpartum breast lift operation?

Yes, a breast lift can be performed after childbirth, but it's best to wait at least 6 months after breastfeeding ends. This allows breast tissue to stabilize, ensuring accurate surgical planning and long-lasting results.

❓ What should I consider when choosing a doctor for breast reduction surgery?

Choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in breast reduction procedures. Review before-and-after photos, patient reviews, and ensure the doctor operates in an accredited medical facility. A detailed consultation is key to discussing expectations and understanding the surgical plan.

❓ What should I pay attention to before breast reduction surgery?

Before breast reduction surgery, stop smoking, avoid blood thinners, and follow all pre-op instructions from your doctor. You may be asked to get a mammogram, undergo blood tests, and maintain a stable weight. Planning for recovery time and arranging support at home is also important.

❓ Will I experience regrowth and sagging after breast reduction surgery? Does breast growth recur?

In most cases, breast tissue does not regrow after reduction surgery, but minor changes can occur over time. Factors like weight gain, hormonal changes, pregnancy, or aging may cause some breast enlargement or sagging. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve the results long-term.

❓ How are breast reduction prices determined?

Breast reduction prices vary based on the clinic, surgeon’s experience, hospital quality, and whether the procedure is combined with other surgeries. At our clinics in Antalya and Istanbul, the average cost for breast reduction starts from 3000 euros.

❓ Is breast reduction risky for breast cancer?

No, breast reduction does not increase the risk of breast cancer—in fact, it may slightly reduce it. Some breast tissue is removed during the procedure, which can lower overall risk. Regular check-ups and mammograms are still recommended as part of routine health care.

❓ Will surgical scars go away after breast reduction surgery?

Scars from breast reduction surgery are permanent but fade significantly over time. With proper care, they become much less noticeable within 6 to 12 months. Scar-minimizing creams, sun protection, and silicone gels can help improve healing and appearance.

❓ Who is tummy tuck surgery for?

Tummy tuck surgery is ideal for individuals with excess abdominal skin, weakened muscles, or stubborn belly fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. It’s especially suitable for those who have experienced major weight loss or pregnancy and want a firmer, flatter abdominal profile.

❓ How much weight should be lost before tummy tuck surgery?

It's recommended to be close to your ideal weight—within 5 to 10 kilograms—before tummy tuck surgery. The procedure is not a weight loss method but a body contouring surgery. Maintaining a stable weight before and after surgery ensures better and longer-lasting results.

❓ Will there be any scars after tummy tuck surgery?

Yes, tummy tuck surgery leaves a scar, but it is placed low on the abdomen and can be hidden under underwear or swimwear. Over time, the scar fades and becomes less noticeable. Proper post-op care and scar treatments can improve healing and appearance.

❓ Which type of anesthesia is used in tummy tuck surgery?

Tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and safety throughout the procedure. You’ll be fully asleep and won’t feel any pain during the operation.

❓ What should be considered after tummy tuck surgery?

After tummy tuck surgery, it’s important to rest, wear a compression garment, and avoid heavy lifting for several weeks. Follow all post-op instructions, keep the incision clean, and attend follow-up appointments. Staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy diet also support faster healing.

❓ When can I get pregnant after tummy tuck surgery?

It’s recommended to wait at least 12 months after tummy tuck surgery before getting pregnant. This allows your body to fully heal and ensures the best results are maintained. While pregnancy after a tummy tuck is safe, it may affect the surgical outcome.

❓ What are the types of tummy tuck surgery?

There are three main types of tummy tuck surgery: mini, full, and extended.

  • Mini tummy tuck targets the lower abdomen below the navel.
  • Full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdominal area and often includes muscle tightening.
  • Extended tummy tuck removes excess skin from the abdomen, flanks, and lower back—ideal after major weight loss.


❓ How is a mini tummy tuck applied?

A mini tummy tuck involves a small incision above the pubic area to remove excess skin and slightly tighten the lower abdominal muscles. It targets the area below the belly button and is ideal for patients with mild sagging. Recovery is usually faster than a full tummy tuck.

❓ How many days does recovery take after tummy tuck surgery?

Initial recovery after tummy tuck surgery takes about 10 to 14 days, but full healing may take several weeks. Most patients can return to light activities within 2 weeks and resume normal routines after 4 to 6 weeks. Wearing a compression garment and following medical advice speeds up recovery.

❓ Which aesthetic surgeries are performed together with tummy tuck surgery?

Tummy tuck surgery is often combined with liposuction, breast lift, or breast augmentation for more comprehensive body contouring. This combination is commonly known as a “mommy makeover” and helps restore the body after pregnancy or major weight loss.

❓ What is Vaser Liposuction?

Vaser Liposuction is an advanced fat removal technique that uses ultrasound energy to break down fat cells before suctioning them out. It allows for more precise body contouring, less damage to surrounding tissues, and faster recovery compared to traditional liposuction methods.

❓ What are the differences between Vaser and classical liposuction?

Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound technology to target and liquefy fat, while classical liposuction removes fat mechanically. Vaser offers more precise sculpting, causes less bruising, and results in quicker recovery. It’s also better suited for areas requiring detailed contouring, such as the abdomen or arms.

❓ Who is Vaser Liposuction suitable for?

Vaser Liposuction is ideal for healthy individuals with stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. It’s best for those close to their ideal weight but seeking improved body contour, not for overall weight loss. A medical evaluation is needed to confirm eligibility.

❓ In which areas is Vaser Liposuction applied?

Vaser Liposuction can be applied to many body areas, including the abdomen, waist, back, arms, thighs, hips, chin, and chest. Its precision makes it especially effective for defining muscle lines and shaping smaller or delicate regions.

❓ How is Vaser Liposuction performed?

Vaser Liposuction is performed under local or general anesthesia using ultrasound energy to break down fat cells. A small probe delivers sound waves to liquefy fat, which is then gently suctioned out. This technique preserves surrounding tissues and allows for smoother, more defined results.

❓ How is anesthesia performed for Vaser Liposuction?

Vaser Liposuction can be done under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the treatment area and patient preference. Small areas may only require local anesthesia, while larger or multiple areas are typically treated under general anesthesia for maximum comfort.

❓ What should be considered after Vaser Liposuction?

After Vaser Liposuction, patients should wear a compression garment, avoid strenuous activities, and follow all post-op instructions. Mild swelling and bruising are normal and subside within a few weeks. Staying hydrated, walking gently, and attending follow-up visits help support healing and results.

❓ When can I return to my normal life after Vaser Liposuction?

Most patients can return to their normal daily activities within 3 to 5 days after Vaser Liposuction. However, it’s recommended to avoid intense physical activity and heavy lifting for at least 2 to 3 weeks. Full recovery and visible results improve gradually over time.

❓ Vaser Liposuction prices

Vaser Liposuction prices vary depending on the number of areas treated, the clinic, and the surgeon’s expertise. At our clinics in Antalya and Istanbul, the average price for Vaser Liposuction starts from 1500 euros.

👉 Contact us for a tailored treatment plan and free consultation.

❓ Is Vaser Liposuction harmful?

No, Vaser Liposuction is considered safe when performed by an experienced surgeon in a certified medical facility. As with any surgery, there are minor risks such as swelling, bruising, or temporary numbness, but serious complications are rare. Proper aftercare minimizes potential side effects.

❓ How long does Vaser Liposuction take?

Vaser Liposuction typically takes between 1 to 4 hours, depending on the number and size of the treated areas. Smaller zones like the chin or arms may take under an hour, while full-body sculpting can require a longer session. Your surgeon will give a personalized time estimate.

❓ Can Vaser Liposuction be performed while breastfeeding?

It is not recommended to undergo Vaser Liposuction while breastfeeding. Hormonal changes and fluid retention during this period can affect results and healing. It’s best to wait until breastfeeding is fully completed and the body has returned to its natural state before considering surgery.

❓ Does Vaser Liposuction cause pain?

Vaser Liposuction is generally well-tolerated and causes minimal pain compared to traditional liposuction. Mild discomfort, swelling, or soreness may occur in the first few days, but these symptoms are manageable with prescribed painkillers and proper aftercare.

❓ Can Vaser Liposuction be done at any age?

Vaser Liposuction is generally suitable for adults over 18 who are in good health and have realistic expectations. There is no strict upper age limit, but the skin’s elasticity and overall health play a key role in achieving optimal results. A medical consultation is essential.

❓ When will I see the effect of Vaser Liposuction?

Initial results from Vaser Liposuction can be seen within a few days, but final results typically appear after 2 to 3 months. Swelling gradually subsides over time, and the body continues to contour and tighten for several weeks after the procedure.

❓ Is the effect of Vaser Liposuction permanent?

Yes, the fat cells removed with Vaser Liposuction do not return, so the results are permanent—if a stable weight is maintained. However, significant weight gain can cause remaining fat cells to expand, which may affect body contour over time. Healthy lifestyle habits are key to long-term results.

❓ Does Vaser Liposuction cause more weight gain?

No, Vaser Liposuction does not cause more weight gain. It removes fat cells permanently from targeted areas, but it does not prevent future weight gain. If a healthy lifestyle isn’t maintained after the procedure, weight can return in untreated areas.

❓ Do I need a corset after Vaser liposuction?

Yes, wearing a compression garment (corset) after Vaser Liposuction is essential for proper healing and optimal results. It helps reduce swelling, supports skin tightening, and improves body contour. The corset is usually worn for 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the treated areas and your doctor’s advice.

❓ Can Vaser Liposuction be repeated?

❓ Is Vaser Liposuction done for the neck (jowl)?

Yes, Vaser Liposuction can be effectively used to treat the neck and jowl area. It targets excess fat under the chin, improves jawline definition, and enhances facial contour with minimal scarring and quick recovery.

❓ Does Vaser Liposuction leave scars?

Vaser Liposuction leaves minimal scarring, as the incisions are very small—typically just a few millimeters. These tiny entry points usually fade over time and become barely noticeable, especially with proper aftercare and scar treatments.

❓ Do sound waves damage the skin in Vaser Liposuction?

No, the ultrasound waves used in Vaser Liposuction are designed to selectively target fat cells without harming the skin or surrounding tissues. This technology allows for precise fat removal while preserving nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, resulting in smoother and safer outcomes.

❓ Does Vaser Liposuction cause an asymmetrical appearance?

When performed by an experienced surgeon, Vaser Liposuction provides smooth and symmetrical results. Asymmetry is rare but can occur if the procedure is not done properly. A detailed preoperative plan and precise technique help ensure balanced body contouring.

❓ What is arm lift surgery?

❓ Does arm lift surgery need to be repeated?

Arm lift surgery results are long-lasting, but natural aging and weight changes may affect skin elasticity over time. Most patients do not need a repeat procedure, but some may choose to undergo a second surgery years later to maintain results.

❓ Can't arm sagging be prevented with drugs and creams?

No, drugs and creams cannot prevent or reverse significant arm sagging caused by loose skin and tissue laxity. While topical products may improve skin hydration and texture, they do not tighten the underlying skin or remove excess tissue. For noticeable sagging, surgical intervention is the most effective option.

❓ Can breast sagging and arm sagging surgeries be performed together?

Yes, breast lift and arm lift surgeries can be safely performed together in a combined procedure. This approach reduces overall recovery time and provides comprehensive body contouring results, especially after significant weight loss or aging.

❓ Is the result of arm lift surgery permanent?

Arm lift surgery results are long-lasting but not entirely permanent. Natural aging, gravity, and weight changes can affect skin elasticity over time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps preserve the results for many years.

❓ Does arm lift surgery cause swelling in the hands?

Mild swelling in the hands can occur after arm lift surgery but is usually temporary. This happens due to fluid accumulation and typically resolves within a few days to weeks with proper care and elevation. If swelling persists or worsens, consult your surgeon.

❓ Does arm lift surgery damage the arm muscle?

No, arm lift surgery focuses on removing excess skin and fat and does not damage the underlying muscles. The muscles remain intact and functional, as the procedure is performed superficially beneath the skin.

❓ Can a non-surgical arm lift be performed?

Non-surgical methods like radiofrequency, ultrasound, and laser treatments can improve mild skin laxity, but they do not remove excess skin. For significant sagging, surgical arm lift remains the most effective option. Non-surgical treatments are best suited for mild cases or as complementary therapies.

❓ What does "bat arm" mean? Does surgery improve the appearance of the bat arm?

"Bat arm" refers to sagging or loose skin on the underside of the upper arms, resembling bat wings. This condition is usually caused by aging, weight loss, or genetics. Arm lift surgery effectively removes excess skin and tightens the area, significantly improving the bat arm’s appearance.

❓ Can't the inner thighs be corrected with Liposhaping alone?

Liposuction (Liposhaping) removes excess fat but does not address loose or sagging skin. For significant skin laxity in the inner thighs, a thigh lift surgery is required to remove and tighten the skin. Sometimes, combining liposuction with thigh lift yields the best results.

❓ Can liposuction be performed together with thigh lift surgery?

Yes, liposuction is often combined with thigh lift surgery to remove excess fat and tighten loose skin for improved contour. This combination provides smoother, more natural results and is commonly recommended for optimal thigh rejuvenation.

Facelift surgery involves tightening facial muscles, removing excess skin, and repositioning tissues through incisions around the ears and hairline. It is usually done under general anesthesia.

❓ Will there be any scars after facelift surgery?

Yes, facelift surgery leaves scars that are carefully placed along natural skin folds. Scars typically fade over time and become inconspicuous with proper care.

❓ What are the psychological effects of vagina relaxation?

Vaginal relaxation can affect self-confidence, sexual satisfaction, and emotional well-being. Many patients report improved quality of life and intimate relationships after treatment.

❓ Are vagina surgeries risky surgeries? What are the dangers, if any?

Like any surgery, vaginal procedures carry risks such as infection, bleeding, and scarring. Choosing an experienced surgeon and following post-op care reduces complications.

❓ Does vagina aesthetic surgery damage the hymen?

Vaginal aesthetic surgery may or may not affect the hymen depending on the procedure type. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon to choose an approach that respects your preferences.

❓ Are vagina surgeries painful? Will there be a scar after the operation?

Vaginal surgeries are generally well-tolerated with manageable pain controlled by medication. Scarring is minimal and typically hidden within natural folds, becoming barely noticeable over time.

❓ Do aesthetic surgeons or gynecologists do vagina aesthetic surgery?

Both qualified plastic surgeons and gynecologists with specialized training perform vaginal aesthetic surgeries. Choosing an experienced surgeon with relevant expertise is crucial for safety and good results.

❓ When can patients with vaginal aesthetics take a shower?

Patients can usually take a shower 24 to 48 hours after surgery, following their surgeon’s specific instructions. Care should be taken to keep the area clean and dry.

❓ Does vagina surgery increase sexual pleasure?

Many patients report improved sexual satisfaction after vaginal aesthetic surgery due to enhanced comfort and confidence. However, results vary individually.

❓ Will there be bleeding after labiaplasty surgery?

Minor bleeding or spotting may occur after labiaplasty but usually resolves within a few days. Excessive bleeding is rare and should be reported to your doctor immediately.

❓ How is the urine health after vagina aesthetic surgery?

Urine function is generally not affected by vaginal aesthetic surgery. Some patients may experience temporary urinary discomfort or frequency, which resolves during recovery.

❓ Is rhinoplasty a painful operation?

Rhinoplasty involves mild to moderate discomfort post-surgery, which can be managed with pain medications. Most patients tolerate the recovery period well.

❓ Are there complications or risks of rhinoplasty operation?

Rhinoplasty carries risks like infection, bleeding, swelling, and asymmetry. Serious complications are rare with experienced surgeons. Following pre- and post-op care minimizes risks.

❓ Can I combine my rhinoplasty surgery with another facial surgery?

Yes, rhinoplasty can be safely combined with other facial surgeries such as facelift or chin augmentation for comprehensive results. Your surgeon will plan the procedures accordingly.

❓ Can I correct the shape of my nose aesthetically while correcting my breathing problem?

Yes, functional rhinoplasty addresses both aesthetic concerns and breathing issues like a deviated septum in the same surgery.

❓ What are the medical conditions that will prevent a healthy recovery after rhinoplasty?

Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding disorders, smoking, and poor overall health can affect recovery. Your surgeon will evaluate your medical history before surgery.

❓ Open technique or closed technique?

Both techniques are effective. Closed rhinoplasty involves incisions inside the nose, while open rhinoplasty uses a small external incision for better visibility. The choice depends on case complexity and surgeon’s preference.

❓ Will I have obvious surgical scars after rhinoplasty?

In closed rhinoplasty, scars are hidden inside the nose. Open rhinoplasty leaves a small, well-hidden scar on the columella that usually fades over time.

❓ Are there any alternatives to rhinoplasty operation?

Non-surgical rhinoplasty with fillers can temporarily improve minor contour issues but does not provide permanent or structural correction like surgery.

❓ Is it true that the nose flows more after the rhinoplasty operation?

Post-surgery nasal drainage is common due to swelling and mucus production, but it typically decreases within days to weeks. This is a normal part of healing.

❓ Does smoking affect my recovery after rhinoplasty?

Yes, smoking negatively impacts healing by reducing blood flow and increasing risks of complications. It is strongly advised to stop smoking at least several weeks before and after surgery.

❓ Is it true that homeopathic remedies reduce swelling and bruising?

There is limited scientific evidence supporting homeopathic remedies for swelling and bruising. Standard medical treatments and cold compresses remain the most effective options.

❓ What kind of material do you use if you need a graft when reconstructing the nose?

Cartilage grafts from the septum, ear, or rib are commonly used for nasal reconstruction. The choice depends on the defect size and location.

❓ Will I be asleep during my rhinoplasty operation?

Yes, rhinoplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia, so you will be fully asleep and pain-free.

❓ Can I have breakfast on the morning of the operation? How soon after waking up from anesthesia can I eat anything?

You should fast for at least 6-8 hours before surgery. After waking up, patients can usually start with light fluids and progress to solid foods as tolerated, often within a few hours.

❓ When will the stitches be removed after my rhinoplasty operation?

If non-dissolvable stitches are used, they are typically removed within 5 to 7 days post-surgery. Many rhinoplasty surgeries use dissolvable stitches that do not require removal.

❓ Is it possible to be allergic to these dissolvable stitches?

Allergic reactions to dissolvable stitches are extremely rare. These stitches are made from biocompatible materials designed to minimize immune response.

❓ Will I be given cortisone to help with the scar tissue?

In some cases, corticosteroid treatments may be prescribed to reduce scar tissue formation and inflammation. Your surgeon will decide based on your healing progress.

❓ How many times will I have to come for a check-up after the rhinoplasty operation?

Typically, patients have 3 to 5 follow-up visits within the first few months after surgery. These appointments monitor healing and address any concerns.

❓ How long after the splint will be removed after the surgery?

The nasal splint is usually removed 5 to 7 days after rhinoplasty surgery.

❓ When can I breathe easy?

Nasal breathing gradually improves as swelling decreases, usually within 2 to 4 weeks post-surgery.

❓ Can I wear my glasses after my operation?

It’s recommended to avoid wearing glasses directly on the nose for at least 4 to 6 weeks post-surgery to prevent pressure on healing tissues.

❓ When can I start sports?

Light physical activities can typically be resumed after 3 weeks, but strenuous sports should be avoided for at least 6 weeks.

❓ Is it possible to enlarge the nose after rhinoplasty?

Surgically, it is possible to revise or enlarge the nose after rhinoplasty, but it requires careful planning. Non-surgical options are limited and temporary.

❓ Is it true that it is necessary to wait a year to see the effects of rhinoplasty operation?

Yes, while initial results appear within weeks, the final shape of the nose can take up to a year to fully settle as swelling subsides.

❓ What if I am not satisfied with the results of your rhinoplasty operation?

If you are unsatisfied, revision rhinoplasty may be considered after full healing, usually 12 months post-surgery. A detailed consultation helps plan any corrective procedure.

❓ What not to do before cosmetic surgery?

Avoid smoking, alcohol, blood thinners, and certain medications before surgery. Follow all pre-op instructions from your surgeon for a safe procedure and smooth recovery.

❓ What is the highest risk for cosmetic surgery?

The highest risks include infection, bleeding, anesthesia complications, and poor wound healing. Choosing an experienced surgeon and following all medical advice greatly reduces these risks.

❓ What happens during breast reduction surgery?

Breast reduction involves removing excess breast tissue and skin to reduce the size of the breasts. The incision shape depends on breast size: a lollipop shape for small, a J-shape for medium, and an inverted T-shape for large breasts. Mammography is usually required before surgery to assess breast tissue.

❓ How is a breast lift performed?

Breast lift surgery reshapes and repositions the breasts to correct sagging. If the breast is very saggy, implants may be used. When breast tissue is sufficient, lifting is done using the patient’s own tissue. The nipple is repositioned, and the breast regains volume and firmness. It is often combined with augmentation or reduction.
