Aesthetic Surgery

Understand the scope of Aesthetic surgery, the questions to ask and the public profiles connected to this field of care.

Overview

Understanding the Specialty

Aesthetic surgery covers several possible care pathways. The appropriate assessment, alternatives, expected benefits, risks and follow-up depend on each person’s health and must be discussed with a qualified professional. Elysium Guide provides orientation and does not diagnose or recommend a treatment.

Related Procedures

Open a family to compare canonical procedures; technical variants and devices are explained within the relevant procedure.

Face and neck16

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty reshapes nasal bone and cartilage; functional breathing goals must be distinguished from aesthetic goals. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty removes or repositions eyelid skin and fat; functional visual-field indications differ from cosmetic requests. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Revision rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty addresses a previously operated nose; scar tissue, altered anatomy and limited graft material can make planning more complex. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Septorhinoplasty

Septorhinoplasty combines external nasal reshaping with correction of internal septal structure when functional and aesthetic goals coexist. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Facelift

A facelift repositions selected facial tissues and removes excess skin; it does not stop ageing and may include different depth planes. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Neck lift

A neck lift treats selected skin laxity, fat and deeper neck tissues; the operative plan depends on anatomy and associated facial ageing. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Brow lift

A brow lift repositions brow and forehead tissues; endoscopic, open and temporal approaches differ in scars, reach and risks. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Canthoplasty

Canthoplasty reshapes or supports the outer eyelid corner; eyelid position, eye-surface protection and prior surgery require careful assessment. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Otoplasty

Otoplasty changes ear shape or projection by reshaping cartilage and skin; symmetry and scar behaviour vary between patients. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Cosmetic genioplasty

Cosmetic genioplasty changes chin projection or position by moving bone or using an implant; dental bite and facial proportions must be assessed. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Cheek augmentation

Cheek augmentation adds volume or projection with implants or fat transfer; skeletal anatomy and soft-tissue balance guide the choice. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Facial implants

Facial implants alter selected contours such as chin, jaw or cheeks; implant material, fixation and future removal must be discussed. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Buccal fat removal

Buccal fat removal reduces a deep cheek fat pad; facial ageing, asymmetry and the risk of excessive hollowing require conservative assessment. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Facial fat grafting

Facial fat grafting transfers processed autologous fat to selected areas; some volume is reabsorbed and additional sessions may be considered. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Upper lip lift

An upper lip lift shortens selected skin between nose and lip to change lip show; scar position and dental exposure are central to planning. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Facial scar revision

Facial scar revision may reposition, excise or resurface a scar; it aims to improve appearance or function but cannot erase a scar. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Breast and chest12

Breast augmentation with implants

Breast augmentation with implants changes volume and shape using a medical device that requires long-term surveillance and may need future surgery. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Fat-transfer breast augmentation

Fat-transfer breast augmentation uses liposuction and grafting of the patient’s own fat; achievable volume and fat survival are limited and variable. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Breast lift (mastopexy)

Mastopexy reshapes and lifts breast tissue by removing skin and repositioning the nipple; it may be combined with reduction or augmentation. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Breast reduction

Breast reduction removes breast tissue, fat and skin to reduce volume and symptoms; scars, sensation and breastfeeding implications must be discussed. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Breast asymmetry correction

Breast asymmetry correction may combine different techniques on each side; perfect symmetry cannot be guaranteed and underlying causes must be assessed. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Breast implant removal

Breast implant removal extracts the device, with or without capsule surgery or reshaping; breast appearance after removal depends on tissue and implant history. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Breast implant revision

Breast implant revision addresses implant position, size, rupture, capsule or aesthetic concerns; the plan may include replacement, removal or tissue reshaping. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Capsulectomy

Capsulectomy removes part or all of the scar capsule around a breast implant when clinically indicated; extent and risks vary with anatomy and implant position. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Inverted nipple correction

Inverted nipple correction releases or rearranges tethering tissues; technique may affect sensation, ducts and future breastfeeding. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Areola reduction

Areola reduction removes a ring of pigmented skin to reduce diameter; scar widening, shape and sensation should be discussed. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Nipple reduction

Nipple reduction removes selected tissue to change projection or width; sensation, healing and breastfeeding implications vary by technique. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Gynecomastia surgery

Gynecomastia surgery removes glandular tissue, fat or both from the male chest after causes and non-surgical options have been assessed. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Body and contouring12

Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty removes excess abdominal skin and may repair separated muscles; it is not a weight-loss procedure. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Liposuction

Liposuction removes localised subcutaneous fat through cannulas; it is not a weight-loss treatment and device-assisted methods do not replace surgical judgement. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Panniculectomy

Panniculectomy removes a hanging apron of abdominal skin and fat, primarily to address functional problems; it differs from contour-focused abdominoplasty. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Arm lift (brachioplasty)

Brachioplasty removes and reshapes excess upper-arm skin and tissue; scar length depends on the extent of laxity. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Thigh lift

A thigh lift removes excess skin and may reshape inner or outer thigh tissues; scars and wound-healing demands vary by approach. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Lower body lift

A lower body lift treats circumferential laxity of abdomen, flanks, buttocks and thighs, often after major weight loss; it is extensive surgery. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Post-weight-loss body contouring

Post-weight-loss body contouring plans one or several staged operations to remove excess skin; nutrition, weight stability and cumulative risk are central. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Buttock lift

A buttock lift removes and repositions excess skin and tissue; it is distinct from adding volume with implants or fat transfer. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Buttock augmentation with implants

Buttock implants add projection using a medical device placed in or near gluteal muscle; infection, displacement and wound issues require discussion. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Gluteal fat grafting

Gluteal fat grafting transfers fat after liposuction; injection plane and embolic risk make adherence to current safety standards essential. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Back lift

A back lift removes rolls or excess skin from selected upper or lower back areas; scar position and closure tension depend on distribution. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.

Body scar revision

Body scar revision may excise, rearrange or resurface a scar to improve symptoms or appearance; recurrence and scar biology remain relevant. This page explains the questions to ask and the continuity of care to plan.
