The Culture of Aesthetic Surgery
It is entirely personal. The motivation to seek enhancement of physical appearance (e. g. shape) or rejuvenation (e. g. the reconstruction of a youthful shape) should come from within the individual person. The individual perceives some aspect of his/her shape, which in their totality makes up his or her appearance, as a problem in a […]
Short Scar Vertical Breast Reduction Surgery in Trinidad
Short scar vertical breast reduction surgery in Trinidad refers to operations trying to avoid the long inframammary scar in the design of the skin reduction pattern used to reduce the excess skin during breast reduction surgery in Trinidad. As short scar vertical breast reduction surgery removes by far more breast tissue than skin it relies on a certain degree of skin elasticity so that excess skin not removed during the procedure will eventually shrink down and like a glove again fit the overall reduced breasts.
Plastic Surgery – A Plastic Surgeon’s Perspective

Abdominoplasty Surgery – Structure is Beauty
The most powerful effect on the waistline can in my opinion however be achieved during abdominoplasty surgery by a technique of repositioning the muscles from the side more towards the center, which creates a permanent internal binder around the waist. After redraping the skin a much more hourglass like shape is achieved.

Craniofacial Surgery
Craniofacial surgery in its purest form is plastic surgery of the skeleton of the face and skull. It was developed into a subspecialty of plastic surgery based on several principles and discoveries put forward by Paul Tessier of Paris in the 1960’s. Tessier proved in the laboratory and the operating room that it was possible […]
What is cosmetic surgery, what is reconstructive surgery, what is everything in between ?
All too often a difference is made between reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, most often to elevate the status of reconstructive surgery and lower the one of cosmetic surgery. I am a cosmetic surgeon and I do complex reconstrucive surgery. So I never could understand how someone could come up with something so artificial, neither based […]
