Cosmetic Surgeries common practices | Medical Tourism

Hair Care
By age 50, about 50% of American men—and a substantial number of women—are affected by hair loss, much of which is hereditary. Hair transplantation is normally used to restore baldind head. However it is also used to correct eye brows, beard, mustache, chest hair and pubic hair.
Hair is extracted by 2 common techniques
Strip harvesting: Here a piece of skin containing hair is removed  and further processed for transplantation. This leaves a scar in the donor area but should be un noticeable with normal hair length in the surrounding areas. The donor area is sutured and the recovery is expected in 2 weeks.
Follicular unit extraction/FUE harvesting: This advanced procedure utilizes the removal of hair follicle with tiny punches ranging approximately from  ½ to 1 mm under local anesthesia. No suturing is required and recovery is expected in 1 week.
 Micro-hair transplantation is a state-of-the-art hair transplantation technique that has replaced "plugs" or larger grafts of hair . Newer computerized hair transplantation techniques are currently undergoing clinical trails.

If you believe that your forehead is preventing you from looking as good as you feel, a forehead lift, also called a brow lift, may be a good option for you. This procedure is also called" brow lift". A forehead lift corrects the sagging or low position of the eyebrows, softens horizontal creases across the forehead and erases the worried or angry expression that can result from frown lines. This procedure is sometimes combined with other surgeries to bring about a more uniform appearance.

Over the time, this surgery has changed from invasive techniques to more complex short incision and endoscopic techniques. The Brow Lift procedure normally involves incisions in the hair-bearing scalp and very rarely, incisions may be performed in the forehead, and the upper eyelids.Then, various degrees of undermining of the skin are carried out, and the deeper layers of the forehead are 'lifted'. This results in reversing the effects of gravity and tightening of soft tissues of the forehead . This restores a more youthful contour to the upper face. The outcome is a more relaxed and refreshed appearance.
eyelidEyelid surgery
This procedure is also called Blepharoplasty. Eyelid surgery is performed on men and women of all ages who wants to improve their self-image. Most people have eyelid surgery to minimize the effects of aging. However, many people in their 20s or 30s may also benefit from the procedure, especially Asian Blepharoplasty.

In the routine Blepharoplasty, the incisions are made in the natural creases of the upper eyelids and below the eye lashes of the lower eyelid. This procedure was further refined to eliminate the scar on the lower eyelid by making the incision of the lower eyelid on the inside surface (Transconjuctival Blepharoplasty). This procedure is sometimes combined with simultaneous chemical peel.



Some of the most visible signs of aging first appear on the face. Although the changes appears gradually, there may come a day when you look in the mirror and decide that the face you see doesn't reflect the way you feel about yourself. If you'd like to look as good as you feel, a facelift can help. Also known as rhytidectomy, a facelift smooths the loose skin on your face and neck, tightens underlying tissues and removes excess fat.

The facelift surgery continues to develop from simple skin lifting to more complex deeper plane lifting techniques. Today we have various techniques, which provide outcomes that are consistently reliable and durable. In the facelift procedure incisions are usually made in front of and behind the ear. These incisions might extend into the scalp. Then various degrees of undermining of the skin are performed, and the deeper layers of the face are 'lifted'. Muscle tightening as well as liposuction of the neck and jowls may be performed, and excess skin is either removed or repositioned. As a result, your face will appear firmer and fresher.

Lip augmentation is usually performed to create fuller, plumper lips and reduces fine wrinkles around the mouth. Lips are injected with fat from another site in the patient's body. Liquid collage can also be used.

Both are absorbed by the body and repeat treatments are usually necessary to maintain results. The longer lasting options are AlloDerm, Soft Form and Gore-Tex.


If you often wish that your breasts were larger, fuller or more shapely, breast augmentation surgery may be the right choice for you. Breast augmentation (also called augmentation mammoplasty) is a cosmetic procedure that uses implants to enlarge and shape the breasts. Your new look will bring you greater freedom with fashion and may give you self image a boost as well.

This procedure usually involves an implant. Saline and silicone implants are normally used. The silicone implants continue to develop. The current 5th generation silicone implants have greatly minimized the risks of capsular contracture and leakage.

Breast Lift

The breast lift is also called Mastoplexy. This procedure is used to improve breast aesthetics of a woman by surgical manipulation of contour,size and pectoral elevation of the breast. Many variations of the surgical techniques are used. An important consideration is to preserve the integrity of nipple areola complex. This surgery is normally done for women having proper size breast , but lacking contour and elevation. However it is not uncommon to see the use of implants in some cases.




This procedure is also referred as abdominoplasty.A flat stomach is important to a physically fit appearance. However, a healthy diet and regular abdominal workouts can sometimes do little to eliminate accumulations of excess fat and loose, sagging skin in the abdominal area. If you are bothered by these appearance problems, abdominoplasty (also called "Tummy tuck") may be a good choice for you.

This procedure usually involves an incision from hip to hip just above the pubic area. The navel is surgically freed from surrounding tissue. Simultaneous liposuction may be carried out in the surrounding areas to ensure a refined abdominal sculpture.


Liposuction Liposuction is most commonly recommended for men and women of normal weight who simply want to improve their body contour. The procedure can produce excellent results for people who have deposits of excess fat that make certain body areas appear disproportionately large. Although liposuction is not a treatment for obesity, it can permanently alter body proportion and is sometimes the only way to eliminate fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise.This usually reserved for healthy patients who have tried diet and exercise with few stubborn pockets of fat. This procedure is not usually for people with Diabetes, Heart condition and elderly patients with very loose skin.
