About Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic Surgery, performed by specialists in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, is a branch of plastic surgery focused on enhancing a person's appearance through elective surgical and medical techniques. It addresses aesthetic goals related to symmetry, proportion, and overall harmony of facial and bodily features. Common procedures include facelifts, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation or reduction, liposuction, and tummy tucks. These surgeries are tailored to individual patient desires and anatomical considerations, aiming to boost self-confidence and improve quality of life. Modern techniques prioritize safety, natural-looking results, and minimal scarring. Consulting with a board-certified surgeon ensures a comprehensive evaluation and a personalized treatment plan aligned with realistic expectations.

PATIENT REVIEW

Anika Nair, a 28-year-old software engineer,...

Anika Nair, a 28-year-old software engineer, had been self-conscious about her prominent dorsal hump and wide nasal tip since her teenage years. She avoided profile photos and felt her nose dominated her face, clashing with her otherwise delicate features. After years of saving, she consulted Dr. Evans. He recommended a rhinoplasty to refine the hump, narrow the tip, and improve overall facial harmony. The surgery, under general anesthesia, took three hours. Recovery involved two weeks of significant swelling and bruising, managed with cold compresses and elevation. After six months, the final results emerged: a straight, elegant nose that balanced her face. Anika's emotional journey shifted from constant self-monitoring and anxiety in social situations to a profound sense of confidence and finally feeling like her outer appearance matched her inner self.
