Bichat fat pad removal, commonly called buccal fat removal, targets the naturally occurring fat pads located deep in the cheeks to reduce facial fullness and create a more angular, sculpted appearance. The surgeon accesses the fat pads through a small incision inside the mouth, avoiding any visible external scarring, and removes a carefully judged amount of fat to achieve balanced results. The procedure is quick, usually taking about 30 to 45 minutes under local anesthesia with or without sedation. Mild swelling and bruising are expected for one to two weeks, with a soft diet recommended initially. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days. Final facial contour results become apparent once swelling fully resolves over a few months.

Bichectomy is the surgical removal of the buccal fat pads to reduce cheek fullness and enhance facial contour, particularly popular among patients seeking a slimmer, more defined lower face and cheekbone area. The procedure is performed through small incisions made inside the cheek, so no external scarring is visible, and typically takes 30 to 45 minutes under local anesthesia. Patients can usually go home the same day, with mild swelling and soreness managed by pain medication and a soft diet for about a week. Ice packs and head elevation help reduce swelling during initial recovery. Most normal activities can be resumed within a few days. The final contoured appearance becomes fully visible after swelling subsides over the following weeks to months.

Breast reconstruction with a muscle-skin flap uses the patient's own tissue, most commonly from the latissimus dorsi muscle in the back or the rectus abdominis muscle in the abdomen (TRAM flap), to rebuild breast shape following mastectomy. The flap, including skin, fat, and muscle with its blood supply, is carefully moved to the chest and shaped to recreate a natural breast contour, sometimes combined with an implant for additional volume. This is a longer and more complex operation than implant-only reconstruction, typically taking four to eight hours under general anesthesia. Patients require close monitoring after surgery to ensure adequate blood flow to the transferred tissue. Recovery takes several weeks, with drains and activity restrictions during the initial healing period. The results provide a natural, durable breast reconstruction that ages similarly to natural tissue.

Breast reduction surgery is performed for women experiencing physical discomfort from overly large breasts, including back, neck, and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and difficulty with physical activity. The surgeon removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, and repositions the nipple-areola complex to achieve a smaller, better-proportioned breast shape. The procedure typically takes two to four hours under general anesthesia, with incision patterns chosen based on the amount of reduction needed. Patients wear a supportive surgical bra during recovery to aid healing and manage swelling. Most return to normal activities within two weeks, with full recovery over several weeks to months. Many patients report significant relief from chronic pain shortly after healing.

Breast reduction mammoplasty is the formal surgical term for breast reduction, addressing macromastia (overly large breasts) that causes chronic pain, postural problems, and skin irritation. Through carefully planned incisions, the surgeon removes a calculated amount of tissue while preserving blood supply and nerve function to the nipple, reshaping the remaining tissue into a smaller, more youthful breast contour. The operation generally takes two to four hours under general anesthesia. Drains may be used temporarily to prevent fluid accumulation, and a supportive bra is worn throughout recovery. Swelling and bruising resolve over several weeks, with scars fading gradually over the following year. Most patients experience substantial relief from pre-existing pain and improved ease of physical activity.

Butt lift surgery, often performed as a Brazilian Butt Lift using the patient's own fat, or as a traditional lift removing excess skin, reshapes and enhances the buttock area for improved contour and proportion. Fat is typically harvested via liposuction from areas like the abdomen or thighs, purified, and then carefully injected into the buttocks to add natural volume, while a lift technique addresses sagging skin if present. The combined procedure generally takes two to four hours under general anesthesia. Patients must avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for a couple of weeks to protect the transferred fat cells, using specialized cushions during this period. Compression garments support healing at the liposuction donor sites. Final results are apparent after a few months once swelling resolves and surviving fat cells stabilize.

Facial nerve decompression surgery relieves pressure on the facial nerve within its bony canal, which can become compressed due to trauma, inflammation, tumors, or severe cases of Bell's palsy that fail to improve with medical treatment. The surgeon accesses the nerve through the ear or skull base, depending on the location of compression, and removes bone or tissue pressing on the nerve to allow it to heal and recover function. This is a delicate microsurgical procedure performed under general anesthesia, typically taking two to four hours. Patients are monitored closely after surgery for hearing and facial movement changes. Recovery of facial function can take weeks to months, with physical therapy sometimes recommended to support the healing process. Earlier intervention generally offers a better chance of meaningful recovery.

Bone grafting replaces or augments missing or damaged bone using material taken from the patient's own body, a donor, or synthetic substitutes, providing a scaffold that encourages the body's own bone cells to grow and integrate over time. It is commonly used to prepare the jaw for dental implants, repair fractures that have not healed properly, or rebuild bone lost due to injury or disease. The procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia depending on the site and extent of grafting required, typically taking one to two hours. Healing time varies from a few weeks to several months depending on graft size and location before it is fully integrated. Patients are advised to avoid stress on the grafted area during this healing period. Successful integration provides a strong foundation for further reconstructive or dental procedures.

Arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, addresses loose, sagging skin on the upper arms that commonly develops after significant weight loss or due to the natural aging process, and does not respond to exercise alone. The surgeon removes excess skin and fat through an incision typically placed on the inner or back portion of the arm, tightening the remaining tissue for a smoother contour. The procedure generally takes one to two hours under general anesthesia. Patients wear a compression garment during recovery to support healing and minimize swelling. Most normal activities resume within two weeks, with strenuous arm exercise avoided for four to six weeks. Scars gradually fade over several months to a year.

The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) uses the patient's own fat, harvested through liposuction from areas such as the abdomen, waist, or thighs, to add natural volume and shape to the buttocks. After purification, the fat is carefully injected in multiple layers to achieve a smooth, natural-looking enhancement while simultaneously contouring the donor sites. The combined liposuction and fat transfer procedure typically takes two to four hours under general anesthesia. Patients must avoid direct pressure on the buttocks for about two weeks, using special pillows or cushions when sitting or lying down to protect the transferred fat. Compression garments are worn at donor sites to support healing. Because some transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed by the body, results stabilize over three to six months, with about 60 to 80 percent of transferred fat typically surviving long-term.

A breast biopsy is performed when imaging or physical examination identifies a suspicious lump or area in the breast that requires tissue sampling for a definitive diagnosis. Depending on the size and location of the abnormality, the biopsy may be done using a fine needle, core needle guided by ultrasound or mammography, or a small surgical excision. The procedure is generally quick, taking 30 minutes to an hour, and performed under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort. Patients can typically go home the same day with a small bandage over the biopsy site. The tissue sample is sent to a pathology laboratory, with results usually available within a few days to a week. The findings guide further management, whether reassurance, monitoring, or treatment planning if cancer is confirmed.

Brow lift surgery addresses drooping eyebrows and deep forehead creases that develop with age, which can create a tired or angry appearance. Using either traditional incisions along the hairline or minimally invasive endoscopic techniques with small incisions, the surgeon repositions the brow tissue higher and secures it in a more youthful position, often combined with smoothing of forehead muscles causing frown lines. The procedure typically takes one to two hours and can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Swelling and bruising around the eyes and forehead are common initially and resolve over one to two weeks. Most patients return to work within ten days, avoiding strenuous activity for a few weeks. Results are long-lasting, typically maintaining a refreshed appearance for many years.
