Perineoplasty is a procedure to repair damaged or torn perineum, the area between the vagina and the anus, usually done to tighten the vaginal opening in women who have had a perineal tear because of childbearing. Perineoplasty can also help with increasing sexual satisfaction, boosting self-esteem, and treating some related conditions such as vaginismus, dyspareunia, vaginal stenosis, genital warts, recurrent vaginal infection, and pain during penetration.
Tattoo removal surgery is a procedure aimed at removing an unwanted tattoo, performed by cutting out the tissue that contains the tattoo and stitching the surrounding skin back together. Surgical tattoo removal is usually done under local anesthesia. As the area with the tattoo is completely removed in this method, the result is immediate and effective without having to undergo several treatment sessions (compared to other removal techniques). However, surgical tattoo removal leaves a scar on the body and is mostly used for small tattoos only.
Chin reduction is a procedure that corrects a protruding or prominent chin either through the bone shaving technique or a jaw correction surgery (orthognathic surgery) to improve the facial balance, especially when seen in profile. The results of chin reduction surgery are immediate and last a lifetime. However, the final result will appear about 6 months after the surgery. It’s important to discuss your goals such as the size and shape you desire with your surgeon before the procedure.
Square jaw reduction is a procedure to reduce the mandibular (jaw) angles, known as ‘square jaw’, to make the face slimmer and more feminine, usually done by shaving the angular part of the jawlines. Depending on the square jaw type, the incisions could be made behind the ears or inside the mouth. The scars won’t be noticeable in either case. The result will be permanent and the reduced tissue won’t grow back.
Inverted nipple correction is a surgical procedure to correct inverted or flat nipples which is mostly a congenital issue and restore their natural shape. An inverted nipple points inward instead of outward. About 2-10% of women suffer from inverted nipples which could interfere with breastfeeding and cause irritation, infection, and also psychological discomfort due to a negative self-image. This corrective surgery is a simple procedure usually done in less than an hour under local anesthesia and has a short recovery time. However, it is often accompanied by other breast surgeries such as augmentation where general anesthesia is needed.
Hymenoplasty
Hymenoplasty is a surgical procedure to reconstruct a torn hymen (tissue that covers the opening of the vagina) without leaving visible scars, usually done for cultural reasons as an effort for revirginization and often ensuring vaginal bleeding with sexual intercourse. The restored hymen will remain intact until it is broken again, usually through sexual intercourse. However, you can repeat the procedure as many times as you need.
Scalp reduction is a surgical hair loss treatment option in which the bald part of the scalp (usually the crown area) is removed and the part with healthy hairs is stretched to cover the area, reducing the baldness. This procedure requires good skin elasticity and is an effective option for people suffering from vertex alopecia (baldness on the crown). The results are immediate and can totally eliminate the need for hair transplantation. However, occasionally a combination of both procedures could offer even better results.
Microblading is a semi-permanent tattooing method in which pigment is inserted under your skin using a needle to create the look of real hair strands, usually done to improve thin or sparse eyebrows and make them look fuller. Microblading gives a more natural appearance to eyebrows compared to conventional eyebrow tattooing, and its result usually lasts 18 to 30 months, after which you may need to repeat the procedure. Your skin type, lifestyle, and how often you get touch-ups can affect the durability of your microbladed brow.
Microneedling is a minimally-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure in which the skin is pricked with tiny needles to trigger a natural healing response, leading to the production of more collagen and elastin, which in turn will improve the overall appearance of the skin. Microneedling can be performed on the face or other parts of the body affected by aging signs such as lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin or other skin conditions such as acne scars or hyperpigmentation. Many people start to see the initial results of a microneedling treatment within a week. The results usually last 3 to 5 months. You may need more than one session depending on the severity of the issue you want to address.
Dermabrasion is an invasive skincare procedure in which the damaged top layers of the skin are scraped away, usually using a device with a rough rotating tip. This causes the skin to repair itself by producing more collagen, revealing new layers that are smoother and healthier. Dermabrasion is used to treat a variety of skin problems such as scars, acne scars, wrinkles, pigmentation issues, uneven skin texture, etc. The procedure is followed by a few days of downtime and the final results appear in around 3 months.
Waxing is a hair removal technique in which a sticky substance is applied to the skin and then abruptly removed to pluck unwanted hair at the follicle level. For optimal results or to reduce pain while waxing, make sure the hair length is no more than one-fourth to three-fourths of an inch, and avoid using retinoid creams a few days before waxing to prevent skin removal along with the hair. Other factors such as specific medications and diseases, recent sunburn, or laser therapy may also increase the chance of skin lifting while waxing. Waxing results last about 3-6 weeks depending on the individual’s hair growth rate and the area of waxing.
Threading is a precise hair removal technique in which a thin cotton/polyester thread is doubled and twisted and then rolled over the skin, plucking the unwanted hair at the follicle level, mostly used for brow shaping. Compared to waxing, threading is a more precise method for shaping eyebrows, providing more control over the procedure to define eyebrows more accurately. It is also a gentler method, making it an ideal option for removing unwanted hair on the entire face area, however, not so efficient for areas with too much coarse hair. The results of hair removal through threading can last up to 4 weeks.
Microblading removal aims at removing unwanted microblading which is done with different techniques such as laser and saline solution. You’d better wait for 8 to 12 weeks before starting your laser treatment. Depending on the ink density, laser microblading removal may need 1 to 4 sessions (sometimes more), each 8 weeks apart, so that the skin goes through two growth cycles and shows the real results. Removal using saline may also require several sessions (3-6) each several weeks apart. Laser removal is a non-invasive method and is usually more effective. However, it requires the eyebrows to be shaved off before the treatment.
Brow lamination is a procedure that straightens the brow hairs and sets them in the right direction using a chemical solution, making the eyebrows smooth and shiny. Unlike tattooing techniques, brow lamination gives a fuller and thicker appearance to already existing brow hairs instead of adding pigments to enhance an eyebrow shape. It also lasts shorter (about 6 weeks). You can have your eyebrows re-laminated afterward to maintain your look for longer. Brow lamination works best with fuller eyebrows. However, it could be accompanied by a brow tint for a bolder result.
Tissue expansion is a procedure in which an implant called a tissue expander is placed under the skin and gradually filled and enlarged to make the body grow additional skin to be used in reconstructive surgeries like breast reconstruction and reconstructive burn surgery. Using expanded skin instead of a skin flap or graft usually promises better results both concerning the treatment outcome and aesthetic aspects. It’s also less likely to cause side effects. However, it’s a long process, taking up to 3-4 months with weekly visits. And since skin health is a requirement for tissue expansion, it may not be applicable for severely damaged areas.
Buried ear correction is an ear reshaping surgery that is performed to correct cryptotia, also known as pocket ear or hidden ear, a congenital condition in which the ear is buried underneath the skin of the side of the head. This procedure elevates and releases the ear from its hidden position and resurfaces the posterior ear cartilage and is often done using skin grafting or tissue expansion techniques.
Ear tag removal is a simple surgical procedure to eliminate an ear tag, also known as accessory tragus or a branchial cleft remnant, which is a benign growth of excess skin or cartilage on the ear. The procedure includes a small incision around the base of the tag to remove the tag and cut its stalk a bit deeper than the skin surface to make sure the remaining cartilage in the stalk base will not cause a bump on the ear.
A prosthetic ear or ear prosthesis is an artificial prosthetic device, mostly made of silicone, that is used to replace a missing outer ear to restore its natural appearance. Prosthetic ears are a great option for people with naturally deformed ears or those losing an ear due to injuries and auriculectomy. They come with a life-like appearance, perfectly resembling a natural ear’s color, texture, tone, and size, and could be attached through several methods.
Prosthetic eye surgery is a procedure in which an eye prosthesis, also known as an artificial or glass eye, is placed inside the eye socket to replace a missing eye that has been lost or removed due to any reason, with the aim of restoring the natural appearance, but not the function, of the eye. However, eyelid function will be thoroughly supported after implanting the prosthetic eye. Prosthetic eye care includes polishing them every 4 to 6 months and although the glass eyes usually maintain their integrity for more than 10 years, many people may need a replacement every 5 years to ensure the eye socket is not hurt.
Eyelash transplant is a permanent cosmetic surgery in which hairs are taken from other parts of the body such as the back of the head and transplanted into the eyelashes to make up for sparse eyelashes and provides you with longer and thicker ones. Those interested in cosmetically improving their eyelashes' appearance, naturally born with short or scanty eyelashes, or having their eyelashes affected by trauma and infection may be candidates for an eyelash transplant.
