Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery is an integrated blend of science and art, where the latest scientific advancements merge with the artistic sense of the physician to achieve the best possible results. The aim is to make the individual appear more youthful, beautiful, and radiant, while maintaining a natural look and avoiding any abnormal or artificial appearance. Plastic surgery is no longer exclusive to a specific group; it has become accessible to everyone, allowing anyone to look better, more radiant, and less wrinkled.
Plastic surgery extends beyond just removing wrinkles from the face or sagging skin from the body; it also includes correcting deformities, injuries, birth defects, treating facial paralysis, and addressing anything that negatively affects the appearance of the face and body.
Facial nerve paralysis (Bell’s palsy) leads to severe facial distortion. This distortion affects the individual psychologically and socially, impairing their ability to communicate and leading to social isolation, which in turn affects their work and hinders their progress in life.
