Understanding of the “ideal, beautiful, normal” is always the first step preceding any cosmetic breast enhancement surgery, such as breast augmentation, breast implants, breast lift or breast reduction in our Caribbean plastic surgery clinic at Trinidad Institute of Plastic Surgery, Trinidad and Tobago.
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 […]

Trinidad Institute of Plastic Surgery Reviews Breast Reduction

Short Scar Breast Reduction in Trinidad
Short scar breast reduction in Trinidad provides a vertical scar and a vertical concept – the entire movement of the breast is in an upward direction. Projection of the breast is also increased and the shape becomes more conical, closer to a youthful ideal. Shorter scars mean improved appearance and shorter recovery.
