There is an extensive range of plastic surgery procedures available at Cosmex Clinic, led by highly experienced Consultant Plastic Reconstructive Surgeon, Mr Fawaz Al-Hassani.
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 and Neck Lifts
Face and neck lifts are a range of plastic surgical procedures, which aim to lift and tighten the skin of the face and/or neck.
Mr Fawaz can perform a range of face and neck lifts to meet your personal need.
In line with the Cosmex Clinic minimally invasive approach, face lifts start from a superficial one or two stitch face lift under local anesthetic, through to more invasive and deeper face and face and/or neck lifts under sedation.
More than one option may exist. Your consultant will discuss these options and outline what you can expect so that you are fully informed before making your decision. Please feel free to ask any questions you have.
You will be provided with a treatment plan following your consultation and given time to reflect prior to booking your operation.
Blepharoplasty (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.
This very successful procedure typically has a major impact, refreshing and remarkably rejuvenating the appearance.
Medical conditions that can benefit from blepharoplasty are ptosis, a condition where the drooping eyelid can start to interfere with the field of vision. A weeping or dry eye can often also benefit from blepharoplasty.
Blepharoplasty is often performed in conjunction with a brow lift to lift the upper eyelid and/ or fat transfer to even out hollows under the eyes due to fat loss.
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 they 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 if you live in or near Cambridge and 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 by the lowering of the position of the eyebrow, which can contribute to heavy upper eyelids and contact with the eyelashes. Mr Fawaz 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.
Chin Reshaping & Cheek 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.
Lumps & Bumps Removal
Mr Fawaz offers a range of minor cosmetic procedures 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.
