Cosmetic Surgical Procedures
An extensive range cosmetic surgical procedures
There is an extensive range of cosmetic surgical procedures available at Cosmex Clinic, led by highly experienced Reconstructive Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon Giovanni Ferrando
Cosmex Clinic’s default approach is biased towards prevention and early non-surgical intervention. However, we always consider what is in the patient’s best interests and if the option of a surgical procedure is in the best interests of the patient we will offer that.
In some cases, it will be a viable alternative but not essential in others it may be the only viable option that will give the desired results.
Face Lifts
A facelift or face and neck lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure which aims to lift and tighten the skin of the face and neck. It is carried out to reduce flabby or sagging skin around the lower half of the face, to achieve a more youthful look.
Different levels of surgery are available to suit your needs, the details of which will be discussed with you during your consultation.
Eyelid Surgery
As we age skin loses elasticity and muscles slacken. In the eyelid this results in an accumulation of loose skin that causes folds on the upper lids and creases in the lower lids. Slackening of muscles can cause the appearance of bagginess around the eye sockets.
A surgical procedure called Blepharoplasty – an eyelid reduction – can be carried out here at our clinic in Cosmex for our patients to correct this problem. The surgeon makes cuts that follow the natural lines of the eyelids through which excess fat, skin and sagging muscle is removed before the cuts are stitched up.
At Cosmex we use the latest technique first developed in Japan, which results in a much longer lasting correction to the upper eyelid.
This very successful procedure typically has a major impact, refreshing and remarkably rejuvenating the appearance.
Rhinoplasty (Nasal Reshaping)
Colloquially known as a “nose job”, rhinoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures in the UK. We carry out nose reshaping surgery for aesthetic reasons – because patients are unhappy with the size or shape of their nose – or for health reasons, such as correcting breathing difficulties and sleep apnoea.
Each rhinoplasty procedure is tailored to the requirements of the individual patient. We can change the length or width of your nose; reshape the tip, bridge and nostrils; straighten your nose; and alter the angle between your nose and upper lip.
Various surgical techniques can be used to achieve the desired result, but the outcome should be a natural-looking reshaped nose that is in harmony with your face.
Otoplasty (Ear Correction)
Otoplasty is the cosmetic surgical procedure you’d choose to have at our clinic in Cambridge if are bothered by the position or shape of your ears. Ears that stick out prominently, or are misshapen because of an injury or birth defect.
Most of the ear correction surgery we do involves pinning back prominent ears. We don’t change the size of the ears significantly and the surgery does not alter the location of the ears or impact on your ability to hear.
Incisions are made on the back of the ears or within the inner creases, and excess cartilage and skin can be removed with the remaining cartilage folded into the proper position and secured with internal stitches.
Brow Lift
Ageing brings changes to the face, reflected in the lowering of the position of the eyebrow, which can contribute to heavy upper eyelids and contact with the eyelashes. Mr Ferrando can carry out a brow lift procedure (also commonly known as an endoscopic brow lift or “endo brow”) designed to reposition the eyebrow, often in conjunction with an Upper Blepharoplasty (removing excess skin from the eyelids).
This is a popular procedure for those who want to restore and enhance the eye area and youthful shape of the brow line. It is also performed on occasion to improve the visual field in patients where a drooping brow can affect vision.
There are several techniques for brow lift surgery, and the surgeon will determine which is most appropriate in each case. The most common method is the endoscopic brow lift which involves a few small incisions on the scalp, behind the hairline, through which keyhole surgery is performed.
Lips
As we age our upper lip tends to drop, which contributes to a more aged appearance. It is a relatively minor procedure under local anaesthetic to correct this.
We are also able to remove silicon that has been injected into the lips and or face. The devil is always in the detail, so please contact us to book a consultation, to discuss your requirements.
Chin Reshaping & Cheek Bone Surgery
When we talk of “normal” facial appearance it is implied that there is a “normal” balance in the facial features – particularly the nose, chin and cheek bones. If one of these features is out of proportion compared with the others, a face can look unusual, especially to someone who is aesthetically sensitive. Facial Cosmetic Surgery can put things back in balance.
When it comes to chin and cheekbone re-shaping you’re in the best of hands at the Cosmex with Mr Ferrando, an experienced plastic surgeon who has improved the appearance of many people.
Lumps & Bumps Removal
Mr Ferrando offers a range of minor cosmetic procedures at our clinic in Cambridge, including the removal of what can be termed “lumps and bumps” on the face, which detract from the appearance and many find troubling.
These procedures include the excision and reconstruction of suspected skin cancers (Basal Cell and Squamous Cell Carcinomas), excision of benign moles, split ear lobe reconstruction and scar revision. If you have a troublesome facial blemish we can probably help.
This kind of surgery, which is relatively quick and usually minimally invasive, can improve self-esteem and psychological health, and often there is a medical benefit too.
