1.Rhinoplasty
Functional re-modeling of the nose is carried out to correct malformations and developmental abnormalities. These procedures can be done under local anesthesia, in most instances and will take more than an hour.

2. Blepharoplasty
This process is done for the excision of superfluous skin from the upper and/or lower eyelids. This can be done under local anesthesia with surgery taking around one hour.

3. Face Lift
This delicate procedure can range from the full facelift to just removal of ‘Crow's Feet’ for example. Major procedures can take up to 5 hours in surgery and requires general anesthesia and an in-patient stay of up to 4 days. Minor procedures are done under local anesthesia and patients may be able to return home on the same day.

4. Lip Surgery
Both thickening and thinning of protuberant lips is done as an "out-patient” procedure. This takes up to 2 hours and is performed under local anesthesia.

5. Augmentation or Reduction Mammoplasty
Increasing or decreasing the size of the breasts can take up to 4 hours in surgery and requires general anesthesia and an in-patient stay of up to 4 days. Only saline implants are used. Minor procedures to reduce the size of nipples can be done under local anesthesia and an in-patient stay is not necessary. For many women these operations can give them a new lease on life, ending many years of embarrassment and trauma.
