EVERY WOMAN HAS THE RIGHT TO FEEL CONFIDENT IN HER OWN BODY ESPECIALLY IF HER LACK OF A POSITIVE BODY IMAGE IS AFFECTING HER PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND SOCIALLY.
NBCC offers various aesthetic procedures to enhance the appearance of a woman’s breast. With the most innovative technologies available in breast cosmetic surgery, NBCC can help women reach the appearance they desire.
CRISALIX VIRTUAL AESTHETICS
Patients often hesitate to undergo breast cosmetic surgery because they worry that the new shape of their breasts will not match the rest of their body shape or appearance. With the new groundbreaking Swiss technology, women at NBCC can use Crisalix Virtual Aesthetics to actually visualize the surgical outcome.
With the most modern 3D and 4D virtual reality technology, Crisalix offers patients the chance to picture how they will look with a new size or shape of the breasts in a 3D web-based virtual preview technique. Using AR (Augmented Reality) goggles, the patient can simulate breast augmentation options based on different types of implants to see what suits her the most. Recent studies have shown that patients who chose to use Crisalix before surgery have a very high post-surgery satisfaction rate.
This technology has truly altered patients experience with cosmetic surgery since they can become more informed and involved in the decision-making process before the surgery and enter the operating room more confident of the end-result.
BREAST AUGMENTATION
The most requested type of aesthetic breast surgery is breast augmentation which includes using breast implants or fat transfer to increase the size of the breasts. This procedure can achieve a more rounded and full breast shape, improve natural breast size symmetry, or increase breast volume that might be reduced after weight loss or pregnancy.
Two of the most advanced breast augmentation techniques are uniquely available at NBCC, the Transaxillary Endoscopic Breast Augmentation technique and the 2cm breast augmentation technique.
Transaxillary Endoscopic Breast Augmentation
NBCC is one of the few centers in Lebanon to offer the option of Transaxillary Endoscopic Breast Augmentation. The advantage of this approach to breast enlargement is that the patient does not have any incisions or residual scars on the breasts.
The technique begins with a small incision in the top of the armpit to place an endoscope, or tiny camera, to control and visualize all the steps of the augmentation procedure. After creating an internal tissue pocket, silicone gel implants are carefully inserted to enlarge the breast size depending on individual preferences. There is a similar recovery time for this procedure to other breast augmentation techniques, except that the postoperative soreness is felt in the armpit instead of the breast.
2 cm Breast Augmentation Technique
Although breast augmentation is one of the most requested cosmetic operations in the world, the resulting scar is a concern for many patients. Consequently, the use of 2 cm limited incisions in breast surgery has gained increasing popularity because of the reduced size of visible scarring. The smaller the incision, the more challenging it is for the surgeon to perform the augmentation procedure. This technique is uniquely possible at NBCC because of the availability of the newest generation of prosthetic implants, most advanced technological equipment, and most importantly, the highly qualified surgeon trained in the most developed surgical techniques to perform this procedure.
BREAST REDUCTION (REDUCTION MAMMAPLASTY)
Many women suffer from physical and emotional distress because of excessively large breasts (macromastia). A breast reduction surgery removes excess breast fat, tissue, and skin to achieve a breast size more proportional with the patient’s body. After surgery, patients’ physical and emotional well-being often improves. Their neck, shoulder, and back pain lessens, and they are more comfortable participating in physical activities and wearing their chosen style of clothing without difficulty.
GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY
Gynecomastia surgery (also known as male breast reduction) is the surgical correction of over-developed or enlarged breasts in men.
Gynecomastia is a condition that can be the result of hormonal changes, heredity, obesity or the use of certain drugs. Before deciding on surgery a full assessment, including thorough history physical exam and blood work-up should be done to rule out any hormonal imbalances or endocrine problems that might be the cause of the Gynecomastia.
By having Gynecomastia Surgery, men’s self-confidence often improves and they are more motivated to participate in physical activities
