Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery

The result of revision nose surgery
Operated elsewhere and left with a collapsed dorsum, the patient had revision surgery and is happy with the result today.
Septum & asymmetry
Hump, wide dorsum and a drooping tip were corrected together; the two-hour operation aimed at a natural profile.
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Cartilage tip support
For a drooping, unsupported tip the open technique was chosen; graft support kept the tip stable over the years.
Morocco · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Measured narrowing of a wide bony vault
A dorsum proportional to the face was targeted; osteotomies stayed within plan and the result stayed natural.
France · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Reconstruction with rib cartilage
Where septal cartilage was insufficient, a rib graft was used and dorsal height was restored in one session.
Turkmenistan · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A scar-free correction with the closed technique
For a patient who did not want a columellar incision, the closed technique was used and swelling settled earlier.
Oman · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A small hump, a short recovery
Where only hump and tip needed work, the closed technique sufficed and she returned to work within a week.
United Kingdom · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Balance in profile, an unchanged expression
For a patient who wanted to stay recognisable from the front, change was confined to the profile.
Türkiye · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Gentle bone shaping with an ultrasonic device
Because the piezo device acts only on bone, surrounding tissue was spared and bruising was less than expected.
Ukraine · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A controlled cut in a thin-boned nose
Piezo was preferred in a thin bony structure at risk of fracture; the dorsal line stayed as planned.
Palestine · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
From planning to result, one line
The gap between the pre-op drawing and the third-month result stayed within the patient’s expectation.
Greece · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Breathing and aesthetics in one operation
For years of one-sided obstruction, septal correction was done together with the aesthetic step.
Uzbekistan · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A graft that supports the nasal valve
The narrowed internal valve was supported with a graft; the patient stopped using nasal strips at night.
Qatar · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Breathing capacity first, for an athlete
For a runner the airway came first; the aesthetic change was planned within that limit.
Ireland · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Tissue rebuilt at the second operation
Cartilage over-resected at the first operation was replaced with grafts, rebuilding dorsum and tip support.
Armenia · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
In revision, expectations came first
Before the second operation it was made clear what could be corrected and what would remain.
Saudi Arabia · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A non-surgical profile correction
A small hump and a low tip were balanced with filler; the procedure finished the same day.
Italy · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A trial before deciding on surgery
For a hesitant patient a reversible filler was offered; she saw the result and then decided.
Türkiye · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A safer application with a blunt cannula
A blunt cannula was used for vascular safety; she returned to daily life the same day.
Azerbaijan · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Deep-layer support with SMAS
Knowing that skin-only lifting is short-lived, the SMAS layer was suspended for a longer-lasting line.
Sudan · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A measure that keeps the expression
A rested face, not a tight one, was the goal; tension stayed below what would alter expression.
Netherlands · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Face and neck in one session
Jawline and neck were handled together, avoiding two operations and two recoveries.
Belarus · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Opening the gaze in a heavy brow
A heavy brow was shadowing the eyelid; after the brow lift the upper lid load eased.
Tunisia · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A measured correction of forehead lines
Forehead height was preserved without raising the hairline, and the lines softened.
Norway · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Small incisions, endoscopic route
Work was done through small incisions within the scalp, leaving no visible scar.
Georgia · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Regaining field of vision in the upper lid
Excess skin was blocking the upper field; afterwards she stopped raising her brow to read.
Yemen · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Correcting lower-lid bags
Fat pads were redistributed rather than removed, avoiding hollowing.
Poland · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A day-case under local anaesthesia
Done under local anaesthesia, she returned to the hotel the same day; sutures came out on day seven.
Türkiye · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Profile balance for a receding chin
A patient considering rhinoplasty in fact had a chin imbalance; an implant balanced the profile.
Kyrgyzstan · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A lasting solution by advancing the bone
For a patient who declined implants, her own bone was advanced for a lasting, natural result.
United Arab Emirates · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Deep contouring under the chin
Superficial fat removal was not enough; once the deep layer was addressed the jawline emerged.
Romania · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Otoplasty at school age
The cartilage fold was reshaped; the child removed the headband two weeks later.
Kazakhstan · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A scar hidden behind the ear
Because the incision stays behind the ear, no scar shows even with hair tied back.
Bahrain · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Symmetry between the two ears
Where one side stood out, both ears were planned together to preserve symmetry.
Sweden · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Volume from her own fat
Lost volume in the cheeks and temples was replaced with her own fat; no filler was needed.
Moldova · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Preparation that improves graft take
Fat was harvested with a fine cannula and filtered; most of the volume held at three months.
Algeria · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Choosing volume instead of lifting
With tight skin but lost volume, fat transfer — not a lift — was the plan.
United States · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Correcting platysmal bands
Vertical bands in the neck were joined at muscle level and the contour flattened.
Türkiye · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Regaining the cervicomental angle
The lost neck angle was rebuilt; a profile photograph felt comfortable for the first time.
Mongolia · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Early intervention while laxity is mild
A limited lift while laxity was mild postponed the need for a larger operation.
Egypt · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Selective fat emulsification with VASER
Ultrasound emulsified fat while sparing vessels and nerves; bruising stayed limited.
Austria · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Defined muscle lines
For someone training hard without definition, the superficial layer was sculpted.
Russia · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Compression and drainage
After six weeks of compression and regular drainage the swelling settled and the contour set.
Iraq · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Buttock shaping with her own fat
Fat from the waist and back was transferred to the buttocks, changing both contour and proportion.
Australia · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Measured waist-hip
A proportional, not exaggerated, contour was wanted; the target was set by measurement beforehand.
Tajikistan · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Sitting protocol
The sitting protocol for the first two weeks was explained in detail; graft take depends on it.
Jordan · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Repairing diastasis after childbirth
Excess skin was removed and the separated abdominal muscles repaired, restoring core support.
Belgium · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A tuck and liposuction together
A tuck alone would not give the waistline; targeted liposuction was added in the same session.
Türkiye · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A mini tuck for limited laxity
Laxity was confined below the navel; a small incision gave a shorter recovery.
Turkmenistan · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Arm contour after weight loss
After losing thirty kilos the remaining skin was removed and sleeveless clothes became possible again.
Kuwait · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A lift combined with liposuction
With both fat and skin excess present, the two methods were applied in one session.
Bulgaria · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Deciding the scar line together
Where the scar would sit was drawn and discussed beforehand, so the outcome held no surprise.
Ukraine · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
An implant chosen by measurement
The implant was chosen from chest width and tissue thickness, keeping the result proportional.
Lebanon · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Planning lift and volume together
Ptosis and volume loss coexisted; the lift and implant were planned in one operation.
Canada · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Back pain that ended with reduction
Reduction was done for years of back and shoulder pain, which eased from the first month.
Uzbekistan · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Measuring breast tissue in men
Examination and imaging separated fat from glandular tissue, and the method followed.
Libya · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Chest contour with a fine cannula
While the gland was removed, surrounding fat was thinned with a fine cannula for a soft transition.
Switzerland · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Not a problem a T-shirt could hide
A patient who avoided pools and gyms returned to both six weeks after the procedure.
Türkiye · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A circumferential lift after major weight loss
Excess skin around the abdomen, waist and hips was addressed in a single plan.
Armenia · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A staged plan for a safer operation
An area too large for one session was divided into two stages.
Morocco · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Surgery once weight had stabilised
Surgery was planned only after six months of stable weight, on which durability depends.
Germany · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A realistic goal in thick skin
Skin thickness limited the result; the goal was discussed against that reality before surgery.
Azerbaijan · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Swelling that settled early
Because less tissue was lifted, swelling settled fast; she could be photographed on day ten.
Oman · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Bilateral balance in an asymmetric vault
One side was wider than the other; the cuts were planned separately and the midline held.
Denmark · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Surgery planned alongside allergy care
Part of the obstruction was allergic; pre-op treatment made the expectation realistic.
Belarus · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
What waiting a year gave back
No revision was done before tissues settled; a year later one session resolved what remained.
Palestine · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Knowing where filler stops
Filler does not shrink a nose; what could be balanced and what needed surgery were explained separately.
Spain · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A limited lift at a younger age
In her forties a limited correction was chosen over a major operation; the result stayed natural.
Türkiye · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
The difference between two brows
One brow sat clearly lower; the asymmetry was measured and each side lifted differently.
Georgia · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Measuring dry-eye risk in advance
A tear test was done before surgery; how much skin to remove followed that result.
Qatar · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A defined jawline in a male patient
An angular line was the goal in a male face; definition, not softening, was planned.
France · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A decision taken in adulthood
A correction not done in childhood was completed in her thirties, under local anaesthesia.
Kyrgyzstan · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Planning the second session
Not all the target volume went in at once; the second session followed once the take was clear.
Saudi Arabia · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
The neck after weight loss
The skin left on the neck after weight loss was removed; the jawline reappeared.
United Kingdom · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Deciding how many areas
There was a safe volume limit per session; priority areas were chosen with the patient.
Kazakhstan · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
No implant when there is enough fat
Harvestable fat was measured; since the goal was reachable with her own tissue, implants never came up.
Sudan · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Keeping the navel natural
The navel is what gives a result away; its position and shape were planned as a separate step.
Greece · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
An incision hidden in the armpit
Because skin excess was limited, the incision stayed in the armpit; no scar ran down the arm.
Türkiye · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Measuring the difference between the two breasts
A congenital asymmetry was measured; different volumes were planned per side and symmetry followed.
Moldova · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
The cause was investigated first
Surgery was planned after hormonal and drug-related causes were ruled out; recurrence risk fell.
Tunisia · Aesthetics
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
Nutrition and iron levels as preparation
Iron and protein levels were corrected before major surgery; recovery went without trouble.
