Understanding the Changes to the Tummy After a Caesarean Section

A caesarean section (C-section) is a common surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions in the abdomen and uterus. While this method can be life-saving and sometimes medicall...

A caesarean section (C-section) is a common surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions in the abdomen and uterus. While this method can be life-saving and sometimes medically necessary, it also comes with postoperative changes and challenges, particularly regarding the abdomen area.We explore the changes to the tummy after a C-section, the nature of scars, the common issue of a C-section pouch, swelling reduction timelines, treatment options for the scar, and how a tummy tuck can aid in improving the appearance of the abdomen post-pregnancy.

What is the Scar from a C-Section Like?

A C-section scar is typically a horizontal line above the pubic hairline, though in emergency cases, a vertical scar may be necessary. The appearance of the scar can vary widely among women due to factors like skin type, the surgical technique used, the surgeon’s skill, and how the wound heals. Initially, the scar may look red and feel slightly raised but usually fades to a paler hue and flattens out over time. Some women may experience keloid or hypertrophic scarring, where the scar becomes thick and raised. The scar can sometimes be tethered to the deeper tissues giving an indented appearance.

What is a C-Section Pouch?

The “C-section pouch” or “C-section shelf” refers to a bulge or skin overhang that appears above the C-section scar. The caesarean scan overhang can be caused by a combination of factors including excess skin, scar tissue formation, and the redistribution of abdominal fat. The pouch can be a significant cosmetic concern for many women as it can be difficult to conceal under clothing. Many people call this the “mum pouch” that occurs after a Caesarean section.

When Does Swelling Go Down After a C-Section?

Postoperative swelling is a normal response to surgery and part of the body’s healing process. Typically, much of the swelling subsides within the first few weeks after delivery. However, complete resolution of swelling may take anywhere from six months to a year, as the body gradually returns to its pre-pregnancy state. Maintaining a healthy diet, staying hydrated, and gentle physical activity (as advised by a healthcare provider) can help speed up the reduction of swelling.

Treatments for C-Section Scars

There are several treatment options available that can help improve the appearance of C-section scars:

  1. Topical Treatments: Silicone sheets or gels can be effective in managing the scar’s appearance. They work by hydrating the scar tissue and reducing its thickness and colouration.
  2. Steroid Injections: For raised scars, corticosteroid injections can help flatten them and relieve itchiness.
  3. Laser Therapy: Laser treatments can reduce scar redness and improve skin texture by stimulating collagen production. The CO2 laser is a useful option in this case.
  4. Microneedling: This procedure involves using small needles to puncture the skin, encouraging natural collagen production and can improve the scar’s appearance over time.
  5. Morpheus8: This is another method of microneedling that also delivers radiofrequency to help reduce fat and shrink the skin as well.

How Does a Tummy Tuck Help with C-Section Scars?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the abdominal muscles. This procedure can be particularly beneficial for women post-C-section for several reasons:

  • Improving Contour: By removing the excess skin and fat, a tummy tuck can effectively reduce or even eliminate the C-section pouch. The bulge or overhang above the scar can be improved with the tummy tuck procedure.
  • Scar Revision: During a tummy tuck, the old C-section scar can be removed or repositioned into a less noticeable location, typically lower on the abdominal wall. The scar of the tummy tuck is usually longer than the C-section scar.
  • Muscle Repair: Pregnancy and surgery can lead to a separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), which can be repaired during a tummy tuck, resulting in a firmer and flatter abdomen.

What are the other options for improving the tummy after c-section

There are some other useful techniques that can help improve the contour of the tummy following a c-section and these include:

  • BodyTite: The Bodytite is an radiofrequency device that is minimally invasive to help reduce fat and tighten skin. The probe is passed underneath the skin and helps shrink the fat cells by heating them.
  • Liposuction: Liposuction can be used to remove fat from the mum pouch and to help improve the fullness in the lower tummy due to fat. This does not remove the excess skin so can only be used if there is not much skin laxity.
  • Vaser Liposuction: Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound to breakdown the fat cells which are then removed with liposuction. This technique will also provide some degree of skin tightening.
  • Renuvion: This technique uses helium plasma to help cause skin shrinkage. This can be used in combination with liposuction.
  • Mini Tummy Tuck: The mini tummy tuck is a procedure that removes excess skin from the lower half of the tummy. This can help improve the appearance of the c-section pouch and often used in combination with liposuction.

Conclusion

Recovering from a C-section involves understanding and managing changes in the body, especially concerning the abdominal area. While some changes, such as the formation of a C-section pouch or scar, can be concerning or uncomfortable, there are various treatments available that can significantly improve these issues. A tummy tuck offers a comprehensive option for those looking to address multiple concerns, including excess skin, fat, and scar appearance, following a C-section. Mr. Reza Nassab, Manchester and Cheshire plastic surgeon, will provide personalized advice based on your specific anatomy, condition and goals. As with any medical procedure, understanding your options and the expected outcomes can greatly contribute to a satisfying post-recovery appearance and overall well-being.

8 Signs You Need a Breast Implant Replacement

Breast implant surgery is a popular cosmetic procedure that enhances the shape and size of the breasts. While breast implants can offer significant psychological and aesthetic benefits, they ...

Breast implant surgery is a popular cosmetic procedure that enhances the shape and size of the breasts. While breast implants can offer significant psychological and aesthetic benefits, they are not lifetime devices. Over time, various factors can necessitate a replacement. Understanding when a breast implant replacement might be needed is crucial for maintaining both the aesthetics and health of the implants. Here are some of the key signs indicating that a breast implant replacement may be necessary.

1. Capsular Contracture

Capsular contracture occurs when the scar tissue that naturally forms around the implant tightens and thickens excessively. This can cause the breast to feel hard, look deformed, and sometimes be painful. It is one of the most common complications following breast implant surgery. The severity of capsular contracture is graded on a scale from I to IV. Grade IV is the most severe, often requiring surgical intervention to remove the scar tissue and replace the implant. This involves a procedure called capsulectomy, which removes the capsule tissue. If the capsule is not too thickened, a capsulotomy can be performed, releasing the capsule. Patients with capsular contracture are always at higher risk of recurrence of the capsular contracture.

2. Implant Rupture or Leakage

Silicone and saline implants can both rupture, though the signs may differ. A rupture in a saline implant typically becomes noticeable quickly as the solution leaks out, causing the breast to deflate over hours to days. On the other hand, a silicone implant rupture might be a silent rupture, where the silicone leaks into the surrounding tissue without noticeable breast shape changes. Regular imaging tests, such as MRI, are recommended to detect silent ruptures in silicone implants. Extracapsular silicone may spread to the armpit’s lymph glands, causing a lump.

3. Implant Displacement

Implant displacement occurs when the implants move from their original position. This can result in asymmetry, where one breast is positioned higher than the other, or lateral displacement, where implants shift towards the armpits. Implant displacement can be due to several factors, including gravity, trauma, or incorrect surgical placement. Surgical intervention might be necessary to reposition or replace the implants. It is very common for implants to separate with time, resulting in a cleavage gap. Implant replacement or exchange surgery can sometimes try to bring the breasts closer together.

4. Rippling

Rippling refers to the visible or palpable wrinkling of the implant, which can occur with both saline and silicone implants. It is more common in patients who have thin breast tissue and skin. Rippling is typically seen on the outer perimeter of the breast, particularly when leaning forward. This can be aesthetically displeasing or uncomfortable, prompting implant replacement or adjustment consideration. This is very common and not a complication of surgery. Some options include changing implants to more filled types with a lower risk of rippling or increasing the coverage of the tissue over the implant using techniques such as fat transfer.

5. Breast Implant Illness (BII)

Breast Implant Illness is a term used by women who have breast implants and who self-identify a variety of systemic symptoms that they feel are directly related to their saline or silicone, textured, or smooth breast implants. Symptoms can include fatigue, chest pain, hair loss, headaches, chills, photosensitivity, chronic pain, rash, body odour, anxiety, brain fog, sleep disturbance, depression, neurologic issues, and hormonal issues. While BII is not officially recognized as a distinct medical diagnosis, many women have reported relief after having their implants removed. The studies currently show about 25-50% may still have residual symptoms following implant removal.

6. Change in Personal Preference or Lifestyle

Personal preferences and lifestyle changes are also valid reasons for replacing breast implants. Some women may decide they want a different size or shape for personal or aesthetic reasons, or changes in body weight may have altered how the implants look or feel. Additionally, aging can change breast tissue density and elasticity, which can affect the appearance of the breasts with implants.

7. Regular Update After a Long Duration

Breast implants are not guaranteed to last a lifetime. The general recommendation is that implants be replaced or evaluated every 10 to 15 years. This periodic replacement helps prevent complications and ensures the implants remain in good condition.

8. Changes in Shape

Breast implants and breast shape will always change with time. There can be many reasons for changes in shape, such as weight changes and pregnancy. These can often result in the breasts becoming more ptotic or droopy. The weight of the implants can also contribute to the breasts dropping. When the breasts drop, they may need an uplift procedure to lift them.

Breast Health Is Our Priority

If you experience any of the above signs, it is advisable to consult with a specialist plastic surgeon. Mr. Nassab offers breast implant checks and will perform an examination and then refer for additional tests, such as scans, if required. Regular follow-ups and imaging tests are crucial for maintaining breast health and ensuring the longevity of breast implants.

Defining the “perfect” breast shape can be subjective and vary greatly depending on cultural, personal, and individual preferences. One person’s idea of the perfect breast may be completely different from another. What one person considers perfect may not be the same for another. There are, however, some characteristics often associated with a perfect breast shape, which include:

  • Symmetry: People often consider breasts that are relatively equal in size and shape to be attractive.
  • Proportion: People tend to perceive breasts that are proportionate to the rest of the body as more aesthetically pleasing.
  • Firmness: Breasts with some degree of firmness can give a more youthful appearance.
  • Position: People often consider breasts that sit high on the chest and have a natural-looking slope more desirable.
  • Nipple and Areolar Size: People commonly view smaller, well-proportioned nipples and areolas as attractive, although preferences may vary.

It’s important to emphasize that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, and there is no one-size-fits-all definition of perfect breasts. Additionally, it’s crucial to prioritize the health and well-being of one’s breasts over achieving a specific aesthetic ideal.

If you want perfect breasts or ‘perfect tits’, you can’t change their shape without surgery. Understanding that there are limitations to what can be achieved naturally is important. Surgery is the only way to alter the shape of your breasts significantly. The surgical options for perfect tits or breasts include breast augmentation, uplifts or reductions. However, there are non-surgical methods that can enhance the appearance of breasts to some extent, such as:

  • Exercise: Strengthening the chest muscles through exercises like push-ups, chest presses, and chest flies can help improve the overall appearance of the breasts by providing better support and lift.
  • Good Posture: Maintaining good posture can help breasts appear lifted and more defined.
  • Proper Bra Fitting: Wearing bras that provide adequate support and lift can enhance the appearance of the breasts.
  • Healthy Lifestyle: Maintaining a healthy weight, staying hydrated, and consuming a balanced diet can help maintain breast health and overall appearance.
  • Cosmetic Techniques: Some individuals may opt for temporary solutions such as padded bras or adhesive breast lifts for special occasions. These may be helpful aids to improve the shape temporarily.

Ultimately, it’s essential to embrace and love one’s body regardless of its shape or size. Confidence and self-acceptance play a significant role in feeling comfortable and beautiful in one’s own skin. If someone is considering surgical options to alter their breast shape, they should speak to an experienced plastic surgeon such as Mr Nassab to discuss the risks, benefits, and realistic expectations.

Breast Shape Research Studies

Different people and cultures have varying opinions on what is considered beautiful. This is why there is no one perfect breast shape in medical books. Certain physical features are often seen as attractive and are frequently talked about in scientific studies on breast surgery and aesthetics. These characteristics include:

  • Symmetry: Breasts or tits that are relatively symmetrical in size and shape are often considered more attractive.
  • Proportion: Breasts that are proportionate to the body frame, with a balanced distribution of volume, tend to be perceived as more aesthetically pleasing.
  • Nipple Position: The ideal position of the nipple typically lies at the most projecting point of the breast mound when viewed from the front.
  • Natural Slope: Breasts with a natural, gradual slope from the chest wall to the nipple are often considered attractive.
  • Firmness and Elasticity: Breasts that have a degree of firmness and elasticity contribute to a youthful appearance.

It’s important to note that these characteristics are not absolute standards, and there is considerable variation in what individuals find attractive. Furthermore, beauty ideals are subject to cultural influences and personal preferences.

Key Insights from Research Papers

  • The ideal breast shape is often characterized by a specific upper-to-lower pole ratio of 45:55, with the nipple angling upwards at approximately 20 degrees from the nipple meridian and the upper pole having a linear or slightly concave slope while the lower pole is convex. This was published by Mr Mallucci, a plastic surgeon from London.
  • Environmental and lifestyle factors such as skin moisturization, hormone replacement therapy, body mass index, number of pregnancies, smoking, alcohol consumption, breastfeeding, and sleeping position can significantly affect breast aesthetics.
  • Aesthetic factors such as the shape of the lower and upper pole, breast height, nipple position, breast size, and breast width are highly correlated with overall breast aesthetic scores, with vertical dimensions being more determinative than horizontal ones.
  • In Asian populations, ideal breast shape preferences include specific proportions in relation to the body, such as nipple position at 45% of the sternal notch to umbilicus distance, and a preference for a straight upper breast slope and front-facing nipple.
  • Preferences for the ideal breast shape, including the upper pole contour and upper pole-to-lower pole ratio, can vary among different ethnic groups, with a general preference for a more convex upper pole contour and a 45:55 upper-to-lower pole ratio.
  • The ideal breast size and shape are subjective and vary depending on the individual’s build and cultural characteristics, emphasizing the importance of considering patient desires in augmentation surgery.
  • Breast shapes change with age, with volume increasing and firmness decreasing, leading to more significant vertical changes such as sagging.
  • The perception of the ideal breast is influenced by demographics and can vary, suggesting that beauty cannot be strictly defined by fixed parameters.

Medical literature also discusses various techniques and procedures for achieving specific aesthetic goals with breast surgery, such as breast augmentation, breast lift (mastopexy), and breast reduction. These procedures aim to enhance or restore breast shape and symmetry according to the patient’s desires while taking into account anatomical considerations and surgical principles. There are many social media or popular press conceptions on what are considered the perfect tits or breasts. There seems to be a move to more smaller sized breasts or tits compared to the previously popular large boobs.

Ultimately, the concept of the “perfect” breast shape is subjective and varies from person to person. Medical professionals prioritize patient satisfaction, safety, and overall well-being when discussing and performing cosmetic procedures related to breast aesthetics. To book a consultation with Mr Nassab to discuss your goals and desired outcomes get in touch now.

ITV launched the new series featuring Olivia Attwood called ‘The Price of Perfection’ exploring the world of aesthetics and cosmetic surgery. The series has a number of episodes covering the different parts of the body from the face to bum. The first episode looked at facial surgery and included procedures which are frequently performed at our CLNQ clinic such as the lip lift and local anaesthetic awake facelift.

Mr. Reza Nassab was filmed performing a breast augmentation procedure for the show in the second episode dedicated to breasts. During this episode, Olivia Attwood joined Mr Nassab in the operating theatre to watch him perform a boob job on model Chelsea Jenks. The operation took about an hour to perform and Mr Nassab some of the advances in technique such as use of the breast funnel to place the implant. The episode also highlighted the importance that breast implants are a long term commitment. There were patients seeking less invasive options for breast enhancement such as vacuum suction and PRP although we believe these have limited value for significant enhancement.

Mr Nassab is a well established consultant plastic surgeon in Manchester and Cheshire offering a wide range of cosmetic surgery procedures. This was not the first time he has appeared on the screens. He has previously appeared in a number of episodes of the Real Housewives of Cheshire. During his appearances on that he has performed a Mummy Makeover and eyelid lift procedure. He remains a popular choice amongst celebrities and influencers for cosmetic surgery procedures.

“I was delighted to be asked to feature in the new show with Olivia Attwood. It was great that Chelsea was happy to share journey on the show. I hope that this will help viewers understand the procedure and possible risks. It should also make people seeking surgery realise the importance of doing your research on the operation and surgeon. Thank you to Olivia and the Optomen team for giving us the opportunity to be part of the show.”

 

The entire series was released on the 18 January 2024 and is available for streaming on ITVx. Our CLNQ clinic was also featured in the third episode where Dr Kajal performed an intimate lightening peel on another former patient of Mr Nassab.

For more information about the procedures we offer at CLNQ please visit our websiteCLNQ.com or if you would like to book a consultation with Mr. Reza Nassab use our online booking page which shows the latest availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (Celebrity Plastic Surgeon)

Is a “celebrity plastic surgeon” only for celebrities?

No. It simply describes a surgeon and service model that prioritise discretion, natural results and smooth logistics. Most of our patients are professionals, parents and entrepreneurs who value privacy and quality.

How do I choose the best cosmetic surgeon UK for my needs?

Check consultant qualifications (FRCS Plast or equivalent), procedure focus, before-and-after portfolio, honest risk discussions, accredited facilities, and continuity of care. Meet your surgeon and make sure the aesthetic matches your goals. Mr Reza Nassab is one of the best plastic surgeons in the UK with credentials including membership to BAAPS, BAPRAS, ISAPS, ASPS, Aesthetic society and Certification in Cosmetic Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons.

What makes a breast augmentation look natural on and off camera?

Correct base-width matching, appropriate projection, gel cohesivity suited to your tissues, and a pocket plane that supports a soft upper pole with a smooth lower-pole curve. Skin quality and implant positioning matter as much as implant size. Mr Nassab is famous for his signature MiniAug procedure which offers a bespoke natural look breast enhancement.

Can you keep my treatment completely confidential?

Yes. We provide discreet scheduling, secure communications and private access where possible, aligned with our data-protection policies and professional standards.

How long should I wait before public appearances?

It depends on the procedure and your role. For eyelid surgery, many patients feel camera-ready ~10–14 days; for breast surgery, public events often resume from ~2–3 weeks with garments concealed under outfits. We’ll tailor a plan to your diary.  Mr Nassab has had some models and influencers that have been ready for shoots about 2-3 weeks following their surgery although caution is recommended.

Do you offer revision surgery?

Yes. We frequently manage revision breast, body and facial procedures, including capsular contracture, implant malposition and shape refinements, always prioritising tissue health and natural aesthetics.

Are scars obvious?

We plan incisions to sit in natural creases or areas typically covered by clothing or stage outfits. With good aftercare, most scars fade significantly over 6–12 months.

What if I only want a very subtle change?

That’s our specialty. We’ll be honest about what is achievable and may suggest staged or non-surgical options to keep your look understated and fresh.

Who are the celebrity plastic surgeons in the UK?

The Ultimate Guide to Breast Augmentation in Liverpool

Breast augmentation, also known as breast enhancement or breast surgery, is a popular cosmetic procedure that involves the use of implants to increase the size and improve the shape of the breasts. It is a highly personal decision and one that should be carefully considered. If you are considering breast augmentation in Liverpool, this guide will provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision.

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that involves the placement of implants to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. It is typically performed to increase the size of small or asymmetrical breasts, restore volume after weight loss or pregnancy, or to improve the overall appearance of the breasts. You find out more about some of the frequently asked questions about breast enlargement.

Types of Implants

There are two main types of implants used in breast augmentation: saline and silicone. Saline implants are filled with a sterile saltwater solution and are known for their natural feel and appearance. These are very rarely used in the UK. Silicone implants are filled with a silicone gel and are often preferred for their ability to mimic the look and feel of natural breast tissue. Silicone implants are the type of implants that are used in the UK.

Incision Options

There are three main incision options for breast augmentation: inframammary, periareolar, and transaxillary. The inframammary incision is made in the fold under the breast, the periareolar incision is made around the edge of the areola, and the transaxillary incision is made in the armpit. The most commonly used incision in the UK is the inframammary or underneath the breast.

Placement Options

Implants can be placed either above or below the pectoralis muscle. Subglandular placement, also known as over the muscle, involves placing the implant above the chest muscle. Submuscular placement, also known as under the muscle, involves placing the implant below the chest muscle. Your surgeon will determine the best placement option for you based on your body type and desired results.

Why Choose Breast Augmentation in Liverpool?

Liverpool is a popular destination for breast augmentation due to its highly skilled surgeons, state-of-the-art facilities, and affordable prices. The city is home to a number of reputable clinics and hospitals that specialize in breast augmentation, making it an ideal location for those seeking this procedure.

Highly Skilled Surgeons

Liverpool is home to some of the most highly skilled and experienced plastic surgeons in the UK. These surgeons have undergone extensive training and have years of experience performing breast augmentation procedures. They are known for their attention to detail and ability to achieve natural-looking results. You should always look for a surgeon that is on the GMC Specialist Register in Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of BAAPS.

State-of-the-Art Facilities

The clinics and hospitals in Liverpool that offer breast augmentation are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and the latest technology. This ensures that patients receive the highest quality of care and have access to the most advanced techniques and procedures. We use facilities near Liverpool and also in Cheshire close to Manchester.

Affordable Prices

Compared to other cities in the UK, breast augmentation in Liverpool is relatively affordable. This is due to the lower cost of living in the city, which translates to lower overhead costs for clinics and hospitals. As a result, patients can expect to pay less for their procedure without compromising on quality. The breast augmentation cost in the North West are generally more reasonable than London.

The Breast Augmentation Procedure

The breast augmentation procedure typically takes between one to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Your surgeon will make the necessary incisions, create a pocket for the implant, and insert the implant. Once the implants are in place, the incisions will be closed with sutures.

Recovery and Aftercare

After the procedure, you will be given specific instructions on how to care for your incisions and implants. You may experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising, which can be managed with pain medication and cold compresses. It is important to follow your surgeon’s instructions and attend all follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.

Results

The results of breast augmentation are immediately visible, but it may take a few weeks for the swelling to subside and the implants to settle into their final position. The final results will be long-lasting, but it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and attend regular check-ups with your surgeon to ensure the longevity of your results.

Risks and Complications

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks and potential complications associated with breast augmentation. These may include infection, bleeding, scarring, and changes in nipple sensation. It is important to discuss these risks with your surgeon and follow all pre and post-operative instructions to minimize the likelihood of complications.

Choosing the Right Surgeon

Choosing the right surgeon is crucial for a successful breast augmentation procedure. It is important to do your research and choose a surgeon who is GMC registered, experienced in breast augmentation, and has a good reputation. You should also schedule a consultation to discuss your goals and expectations and ensure that you feel comfortable and confident with your surgeon. When you come to us, we will usually have at least 2 consultations before your procedure.

Conclusion

Breast augmentation in Liverpool is a popular and effective way to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. With highly skilled surgeons, state-of-the-art facilities, and affordable prices, Liverpool is an ideal location for those seeking this procedure. By understanding the procedure, recovery, and risks, and choosing the right surgeon, you can achieve the results you desire and feel confident in your decision to undergo breast augmentation.

Mr Nassab was an invited speaker at the Royal Society of Medicine masterclass in September 2023 in London. During this meeting, he shared his experience in non-surgical body contouring devices. The Royal Society of Medicine is one of the oldest medical institutions in the United Kingdom. It was a great privilege to be an invited member of the faculty and join esteemed colleagues from around the world including Dr Carlos Roxo from Brazil and Dr Alfredo Hoyos from Columbia. The talks covered a broad range of topics including weight loss surgery, massive weight loss surgery, abdominoplasty, arm lifts, breast lifts and other body contouring topics.

The presentation was based on his award winning research undertaken in 2015 which was published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal. In the gold journal paper, Mr Nassab reviewed the devices available for use in non-surgical body contouring. The most popular devices at that time included: Velashape, Ultrashape, Coolsculpting, Zerona, and Thermage. In the period of 8 years from this paper, there have been many advancements in technology and some of these devices have become obsolete or upgraded.

During the talk, he reviewed the latest technology and devices available in the body contouring field. These devices included:

The statistics from the United States Aesthetic Society reveals that the non-surgical body contouring market is becoming hugely popular with treatments equalling that of laser hair removal.

Mr Nassab shared his experiences with a number of these devices used in CLNQ. He showed the evidence behind some of these devices and scientific basis supporting their effectiveness.

He concluded that the area is growing very quickly and there are many devices coming to the market. As a plastic surgeon, we need to be aware of the latest technologies and identify those that will be effective for patients. He provided a framework for evaluating new devices for clinics and hopes this would help clinic owners decide which devices would be bested suited for their practice.

In September 2023, Mr Nassab attended the Nayak Cakir Masterclass in Istanbul, Turkey. This was a masterclass to teach the latest techniques in facelift surgery and rhinoplasty.

The main facelift surgeon was Dr Mike Nayak, an internationally renowned surgeon from the United States. He has become very well known for his deep plane technique and is based in St Louis. During the course, Dr Nayak taught his approach to a patient with an ageing face. He shared his experiences of the deep plane facelift technique. He performed a live surgery which was a face and neck lift, and browlift.

The rhinoplasty surgeon was Baris Cakir, an well known surgeon from Istanbul, Turkey. He has been a leader in the field of preservation rhinoplasty. The preservation rhinoplasty surgery differs from the traditional structural procedures. Dr Cakir performed a rhinoplasty procedure on a patient with a significant dorsal hump.

The meeting was well attended by numerous plastic and facial plastic surgeons from around the world. The surgeons were from places such as the United States, Thailand, Canada, Spain, Netherlands and the UK. The first day involved lectures from Dr Nayak and Dr Cakir. The second day was live surgeries by these surgeons whilst the final day was a hands on workshop. Rhinoplasty in Turkey is a very common procedure and probably the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery in Turkey.

Mr Nassab was stated, “I feel privileged to have learned from the masters in the field of facelift and rhinoplasty surgery. I am extremely happy to be able to offer my patients the latest techniques in plastic surgery. A surgeon should also be trying to develop skills and knowledge to constantly improve outcomes for their patients.”
