Procedures and techniques named

• Breast augmentation: silicone, saline or fat transferBreast augmentation surgery increases or restores breast size using silicone gel implants, saline implants or in some cases, fat transfer.
• Facelift: short scar, incision around earYour surgeon might find you appropriate for a ‘short scar’ facelift procedure in which a short incision is usually limited to the area around the ear.
• Liposuction: age alone not a contraindicationLoss of skin elasticity with age can compromise liposuction results, but if your skin maintains elasticity, age alone is not a contraindication for liposuction surgery.
• Liposuction: may need to lose weightYou may need to lose weight to be a better candidate for liposuction.
• Tumescent liposuctionTumescent liposuction describes a “wetting solution” with a local anesthetic, such as lidocaine and another medication in IV fluids, which is injected before surgery, causing blood vessels to shrink down or constrict.
• Blepharoplasty: incision along lash lineIn traditional blepharoplasty, your surgeon will make the incision in an inconspicuous site along the lash line and smile creases of the lower lid.
• Eyelid surgery: local anesthesia with sedationLocal anesthesia combined with sedation is commonly used during eyelid surgery, though general anesthesia can be used instead.
• Rhinoplasty: open or endonasal approachThere are two main incision approaches for a Rhinoplasty: the open approach and the internal (endonasal) approach.
• Endonasal rhinoplasty: incisions inside nasal passagesFor an endonasal rhinoplasty, the incisions are made inside the nasal passages.
• Breast implants: above or below pectoral muscleBreast implants are placed either above or below the pectoral muscle.
