The secret of healing is professional care

Plastic surgery

Plastic surgical interventions

It’s very important to underline that esthetic plastic surgery promotes solving cor­rec­tion requirements of a healthy person. It’s worth to stress that a patient’s body change caus­es serious mental complaints and problems, therefore such surgical intervention has a healing effect as for a person’s body, so for his soul. These surgical operations can be carried out only with healthy patients being in a good general condition without any complaints, after their detailed preliminary informing, medical specialist’s con­sul­ta­tion and checkup preceding the operation.

To fulfill a patient’s need bringing him satisfaction and expressed as his requirement, we plan each plastic operation individually besides underlining the importance of the tasks recommended before and after the operation. Every patient is provided by an in­for­ma­tion­al material including all these questions.

Body changes mentally expressed as a wish give sufficient motivation for taking op­er­a­tion risk and strain. Each intervention includes the breathtaking feeling of a wish to change and a need for harmony. Successful recovery free of complaints and self-in­sur­ance contented after the operation mean the real essence of our work.

Anesthesia

Plenty of patients get in contact with medical services first during their plastic surgical in­ter­ven­tion. They have rightful questions, doubts concerning intervention and an­es­the­sia. Due to comprehensive, tolerant consultation we furnish information to our patients. Af­ter thorough preliminary medical checkup and planning at a time set in advance the sur­gi­cal operation is carried out in the condition and surroundings which are the best for the patient. Anesthetic medical consultation and internal medical checkup decide the pos­si­bil­i­ty of narcosis of a given pa­tient. Professional operational preparation of a patient (in case of need antibiotic or thrombosis prophylaxis) is followed by the most se­cure, intubation narcosis. After narcosis required for surgical interventions patients wake up easily, without unpleasant symptoms, complaints and recollections. Afterwards fol­lows a highly watchful control of a patient by our professional medical staff.

Breasts’ enlargement

This intervention is recommended in case of unsymmetrical or smaller breasts after teen­age period, breasts’ modification after delivery, suckling period or great body weight changes. The operation is performed under general anesthesia. The implant is placed in the breast tissue through the incision done in the crease (hidden place po­si­tioned directly under the breast), or around the areola by indulgent technique. Modern im­plants are under continuous, strict safety and medical specialist’s professional con­trol. They do not have any declared (EQUAM*) health injuring effect! Companies-pro­du­cers nowadays do not prescribe an obligatory change! After the surgical intervention there is not any substantial pain, limitation in movements! After some days of rest pa­tients can return to their everyday activity, work.

VI. Consensus Declaration of EQUAM 26.06.2004

Official standpoint:

Breast enlargement promotes the patients’ mental and physical condition. The implants to be chosen individually in every occasion.

There is not any better alternative for breast enlargement surgery than silicon breast im­plants. Medical tests had definitely excluded any possible connection between these breast implants and cancer or other (autoimmunity, rheumatologic) diseases!

Silicon prosthesis doesn’t have any harmful effect on pregnancy, fetus, suckling process or newborn baby. It does not change mothers’ nursing capability!

Lifetime of implants is not limited, it can be 50 year or even more. Silicon implants should not be removed unless they cause any problem.

It is not true that ¾ of implants tear within 10 years!

Breast plastic surgery

Breast lift surgery (+ enlargement)

It’s a plastic correction of loose breast after weight loss, during which breast tissue is lift­ed from both sides thus reconstructing its previous shape, after the skin is brought down tightly to reshape and fix its form. We work with vertical mastopexy short incision tech­nique, leaving only scars around the areola and in the crease under the breast! In case of appropriate indication breast lifting with incision only around the areola is comp­le­ted with enlargement thus leaving even less scars.

Breast reduction

As a result of teenage period, after delivery or weight gain substantial glandular en­large­ment causes back pain, spinal complaints, bra’s wearing (and purchasing) dif­fi­cul­ties. For breast lift excess fat is removed by special techniques. Thorough preparation, plan­ning, tissue protecting fine surgical technique and professional nursing after op­er­a­tion can decrease post operational wound healing disorder.

After every breast operation we provide all necessary recovery conditions – drain in­ser­tion, fixing bandage, multilayered scars, special bra, tolerance, chilling, vitamins, scar pro­tec­tion, etc.

Abdominoplasty

It’s one of the most frequent operations of patients after massive weight loss or women af­ter pregnancies and deliveries. It’s the most effective solution for the lax muscles, ex­cess sagging tissues due to gaining weight or pregnancy and loose, striated skin. It re­quires very thorough planning, preparation and medical checkup.

Under general anesthesia through an incision in the crease of lower abdomen we re­move the excess of skin and fat, after that we fortify the muscle tissues of abdomen wall in their full length, reconstructing them anatomically, sculpturing the skin of the ab­do­men in the acquired shape. This operation can be executed with or without the na­vel’s relocation. After surgery the patient is medically observed and the operated area is drained during 2–3 days. Special post operational compression garment to be used dur­ing 6 weeks for the comprehensive biologic recovery.

Plastic surgery of nose, ears, eyelids

Rhinoplasty

This surgical intervention is executed under general anesthesia in case of inborn or ac­quired nasal structural deformities. In every occasion the surgical hemorrhage stanch is completed by local anesthesia as so as for reduction of post-operational pain. Through the hidden incisions done in the nostrils we correct the deviations of softer car­ti­lage, nasal bones, septum and its ending. The new shape is fixed by special outer plas­ter cast and internal tampon. After the nasal surgery the patients do not complain of pain! Swellings, hemorrhagic stains under the eyes can occur. The tampon is removed on the next day, the plaster cast is re­moved after one week. The visible face mod­i­fi­ca­tions disappear within 10 days, but the full biologic recovery will be after 6 weeks.

Otoplasty – Ear surgery

Similarly to the above, this cosmetic plastic surgery procedure is executed in case of in­born or acquired deformities of ears with local anesthesia. It can be aimed at setting prom­i­nent ears closer to the head permanently, or reshaping. We remove through the in­ci­sion done in the crease behind the ear the excess of cartilage and reshape concha. The operated area is fixed for one week by external wet compression bandage.

Eyelid plastic surgery

Human connective tissues loose its flexibility due to various internal and external fac­tors as so, as due to aging procedure. Excess skin is well seen, tiring for eyes making dif­fi­cult vision and reading, evoking often tears. Besides, eyebrow’s outer side also low­ers. This area can be corrected by complex intervention under local anesthesia. Through a hidden incision done on the hairy scalp surface on temple level we make an eye­brow lifting, then removing the skin excess of the upper eyelid and simultaneously re­con­struct­ing the muscles around the eyes we “refresh” their look. Baggy, wrinkled low­er eyelid makes often esthetic complaints. Through the incision done in the line of eye­lash­es we remove small fat hernias, reconstruct the muscles, strain and reshape the skin. The sutures are removed after 1 week, in 10–14 days after the intervention the result is visible without marks.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a technique used to sculpt the body and remove local fat deposits on spe­cial body regions, which deposits are impossible to lose by physical exercises. The re­gions to be treated under local or general anesthesia depending on their mea­sure­ment. In every occasion we apply the so-called super-wet technique, i.e. primarily we in­ject into the given region a special “fat dissolving” fluid which also reduces bleeding and pain. It’s very significant to stress that this operation could be completed only on body ar­eas covered by properly elastic skin, since the intervention makes relative skin ex­cess, therefore comprehensive recovery depends on the skin and its quality. You should not count on tough pain and discomfort, but on obligation to wear elastic gar­ments/trousers during 6 weeks!

Intimate surgery

Labiaplasty or trimming of labia minora (lips of the vagina) is required when they are over­de­vel­oped after teenage period causing complaints, physical and sensual dis­com­fort. Due to labiaplasty we can give painless relief and self-confidence to the patient. The operation effects distinct improvement without scars. The desired shape is created just after menstruation cycle in deep obfuscation combined with local anesthesia.

Skin modifications

Such intervention is executed under local anesthesia in case of inborn or acquired skin mod­i­fi­ca­tions after dermatologic checkup and medical consultation indicated by therapy or aesthetics. We provide ideal wound recovery conditions by incisions following the skin’s creases, indulgent technique and multilayered sutures. However, the quality of scars’ healing depends greatly also on the person’s genetic diathesis.

Complications

Every surgical intervention carries in itself a risk possibility. Aesthetic plastic surgery is the only branch of medicine, where not sick but healthy patients are operated. It puts great responsibility on us, operating doctors. The patient is motivated by his sensual de­sire for his body corrections.

Precise observation of professional rules, proper surgical indication, detailed informing, thor­ough medical consultation and checkup, the patient’s appropriate ‘participation’, tis­sue indulgent, fine surgical technique and comprehensive post operational care is the ba­sis of minimization of a potential risk of any complication after operation, either of com­pla­cen­cy combined with safe healing.
