A cosmetic procedure that reshapes or resizes the nose to improve its appearance or function. It can correct a wide range of issues, including nasal asymmetry, size, and structural problems that may affect breathing.
Transferring hair follicles from one part of the head or body, commonly used to address balding or thinning hair and it can also restore eyelashes, eyebrows, beard hair, chest hair, and pubic hair, and to fill in scars caused by accidents or surgery such as face-lifts and previous hair transplants.
Otoplasty adjusts the shape, position, or size of the ears to improve their appearance. It is often performed to correct protruding ears or to treat deformities in the ear structure that are present from birth or result from injury, aiming to create a more natural shape while maintaining or enhancing the ears' functionality.
Surgeons can use round or anatomical (teardrop) shaped implants, tailored to the patient's needs. These implants are made from the latest high cohesion silicone, which is less fluid and more durable, reducing the risk of leakage even under extreme conditions like a car accident. They also retain a natural feel despite their firmness.Most implants have a textured surface, helping them maintain position and minimize sagging over time
Depending on individual factors, implants can be:
This is a common placement technique that allows implants to move naturally with the breast.
Implants are more stationary, ideal for larger sizes to prevent sagging.
A newer technique combining the advantages of the above two placements.
A procedure for enlarged or sagging breasts. While highly effective, it can leave scars and potentially affect future breastfeeding. The surgery involves reshaping the breast and repositioning the nipple.
Often recommended post-weight loss, combining reduction and lift results in a youthful appearance with swift recovery.
Targets sagging and nipple anomalies, adjusting the nipple height and reducing excess skin.
(can lift the nipple by 4cm) Suitable for slight sagging, focusing on nipple repositioning with minimal scarring.
The procedure can lift up to 10cm. This new technique ideal for significant sagging, tightening breast muscles for a lifted appearance.
Primarily used after breast removal, trauma, or burns, aiming to restore the breast shape or adjust the nipple.
Removing localized fat deposits. Modern liposculpture is an advanced form of liposuction. It uses a technique where a lot of a special fluid is injected into the area being treated. This fluid makes the area numb and reduces bleeding. Because of this, surgeons can use smaller needles to remove the fat at a lower pressure. This method lessens the chances of bruising and irregularities on the skin's surface, making the recovery smoother. It's also safer and allows surgeons to remove more fat in a more controlled way, leading to better-looking results.
Full Tummy Tuck - involves removing excess skin and fat below the midriff or navel and is performed under general anaesthesia. It allows for the repair or stitching of torn or weakened abdominal muscles, resulting in a lifted and firmer stomach area. Liposuction may also be employed to enhance the contour.
Mini Tummy Tuck - Similar to the full tummy tuck but less extensive, it also occurs below the midriff or navel and can be carried out under general anaesthesia, often on an ambulatory (day surgery) basis.
An arm lift (brachioplasty) reshapes the underside of the upper arm from the underarm to the elbow. The operation will redefine the contour of the arm by removing extra fat and sagging skin, as well as tightening and smoothing the underlying supporting tissue that defines the shape of the upper arm.
Thigh lift surgery, or Thighplasty, is designed to create firmer, more shapely upper legs. It's particularly beneficial for those with loose, excess skin resulting from weight loss. The procedure aims to tone and redefine the legs, with several types targeting different areas for specific results. During a consultation, the surgeon will discuss the various options and expected outcomes.
Inner Thigh Lift - Focuses on the inner thigh, helping those who struggle to eliminate excess fat in this area through diet and exercise. It's also used to address reduced skin elasticity due to aging or extreme weight loss. The procedure involves an incision at the thigh-pubic area junction, removal of a skin wedge, and possibly fat, followed by skin tightening.
Bilateral Thigh Lift - Aims to tighten skin on the front and outside of the leg. The surgeon makes an incision at the top of the leg (where the lower edge of underwear might be), removes some skin, and then pulls and attaches the remaining skin to the same area. This type is particularly helpful for those with excess skin following substantial weight loss.
Medial Thigh Lift - Targets excess skin and fat on the upper part of the inner thigh. Suitable for those unhappy with their leg shape or looking to remove excess skin after significant weight loss. The incision is made in the groin extending to the buttock crease, and excess skin and fat are removed to improve leg shape and tighten the skin.
Scarring Considerations - While thigh lift surgeries do result in scars, they are typically located in less visible areas and can often be concealed by underwear or swimsuits. Patients considering this surgery should weigh the benefits of improved leg contour against the presence of scars. It's important to discuss any concerns about scarring with the surgeon to understand the available options.
Brazilian butt lift - Enhancing the buttocks using implants or fat transfer.

There are two main types - inflatable and malleable (bendable) implants. The procedure generally requires general anaesthesia.
Recovery - Recovery takes 4-6 weeks, with patients advised to avoid sexual activity until fully healed.
Includes reconstruction after injury, disease, or for gender affirmation surgeries, aiming to restore or create genital structures that align with the individual's gender identity or reconstruct damaged areas.
Procedure - Varies widely based on the specific type of reconstruction, involving complex surgeries that may require tissue grafts, implants, and sculpting of genital tissues.
Recovery - Depending on the complexity of the procedure, recovery can vary.
Expect swelling, bruising, sensations like tingling, areas of numbness, and fatigue. While these are common post-surgery, consult your surgeon for any concerns.
Cosmetic surgery, also known as plastic surgery, involves procedures performed to enhance a person's appearance. If you are planning cosmetic surgery you may have specific questions about the procedures, potential outcomes, and recovery. Here are some of the most common frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Plastic Surgeons vs. Cosmetic Surgeons: What's the Difference?
Plastic surgeons undergo extensive training in both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures, addressing functional restoration and aesthetic enhancement. Cosmetic surgeons specialize in procedures designed purely to enhance aesthetic appeal, focusing on symmetry, proportion, and beauty.
Will Cosmetic Surgery Leave Scars? What kind of scarring can I expect after the surgery, and how can it be minimized?
All surgeries can result in scars, but cosmetic surgery techniques aim to minimize visibility. Incisions are strategically placed in less noticeable areas, and with proper care, most scars significantly fade over time.
After Cosmetic Surgery, When Can I Return To Normal Activities?
Recovery varies by procedure. Minimally invasive surgeries may allow a quick return to daily routines within days, whereas more involved surgeries might necessitate weeks of recovery before resuming strenuous activities. Your surgeon will provide a recovery timeline specific to your procedure.
Is Cosmetic Surgery Safe? What are the potential risks and complications associated with the procedure?
DHI partner Cosmetic surgery Clinics are chosen for their skill and reputation. Surgeons are highly trained, extremely skilled and carefully selected. Advancements in techniques and the preference for minimally invasive procedures under local anaesthesia enhance safety and recovery.
How to Prepare for Cosmetic Surgery?
Preparation includes consultations to align on goals and expectations, medical evaluations, medication adjustments, and smoking cessation. It's crucial to follow your surgeon's specific pre-operative instructions.
Are Cosmetic Surgeries Outpatient Procedures?
Many cosmetic surgeries are outpatient, allowing patients to return home the same day. The decision for an outpatient procedure or hospital stay is based on the surgery's complexity and patient health.
Are Results Guaranteed to Be Positive?
While the goal is to enhance appearance, outcomes vary, emphasizing the importance of realistic expectations. Satisfaction rates are high, but results depend on the surgeon's expertise, patient health, and individual healing responses.
When Will I See My Surgery Results?
Immediate improvements may be noticeable, but the full impact unfolds over weeks to months as swelling subsides and the body heals. Surgeons will guide you on what to expect during the recovery of each specific procedure.
How soon after the surgery can I resume normal activities, including exercise and work?
Recovery times depend on the type of surgery undertaken. Some procedures take longer than others for complete recovery. It is important to have realistic expectations and not expect immediate recovery and immediate results. The surgeon will be able to inform you of expected outcomes and recovery times during your consultation.
Are there any specific pre-operative instructions or tests I need to follow?
Prior to booking we will require you to complete a detailed Medical History Questionnaire (MHQ). This will give the Cosmetic Surgeon an indication as to whether you are a suitable candidate for surgery.
What should I do if I experience unexpected symptoms or complications after surgery?
This question serves as a starting point for patients to discuss their concerns and expectations with their cosmetic surgeon. During your consultation with the Surgeon you will be able to ask questions and discuss any concerns. It is crucial for patients to have open communication with the cosmetic surgeon to ensure they have a clear understanding of the procedure, potential outcomes, and the recovery process. If you experience any unexpected symptoms or complications after surgery you should immediately contact DHI who will put you in direct contact with the surgeon and ensure that the corrective measures and follow up are enacted.
