Breast Lift, Augmentation and Reduction

During pregnancy, the breasts grow to contain milk. However, after the birth and the end of the breastfeeding period, problems such as shrinkage, sagging or loss of fullness may occur in the breasts. Thanks to the aesthetic surgical methods used, it is possible to restore the breasts to their pre-pregnancy state or to the form requested by the patients. After the operation, the breasts will have a much more aesthetic appearance. If breast augmentation and lift is to be performed, some soft tissue removal and silicone prosthesis are placed here.

Vagina Tightening and Vagina Aesthetics

Vaginal tightening surgery is performed in order for the vagina to have a narrower, tighter and more aesthetic appearance after delivery. With this surgery, called vaginoplasty, the enlarged and loosened vagina is narrowed. Labiaplasty means vaginal aesthetics. Loosening and elongation may occur in the inner lips and outer lips of the vagina after birth. Generally, the inner lips are badly affected by this situation, but in some cases, it is possible to extend the inner lips and protrude beyond the outer lips. With the labiaplasty procedure, the excess skin on the inner lips is removed and the vagina is provided with an aesthetic appearance. The recovery period of patients after this operation is extremely short.

Liposuction

Excess fat accumulation may occur in the hips, back, arms or abdomen. These fats are removed using special tubes and cannulas. Liposuction can be performed just before the tummy tuck procedure.
