ALAR (NOSE) REDUCTION

The alar is the area of the nose that extends from the tip and rounds outwardly towards the cheek. Performed under local anaesthesia, this 40-minute procedure makes the nose thinner. A small incision is made on the side of the nostril in order to remove excess tissue. Scars are invisible and the results look natural

Nymphoplasty Explained

French Aesthetic Clinic — Fri, 18 Dec 2020 06:49:06 +0000

NYMPHOPLASTY

Nymphoplasty is the surgical correction of hypertrophy of the labia minora and is the most often performed intimate surgery operation.Hypertrophy is usually the excessive projection of the labia minora that protrude beyond the vulvar slit and the labia majora and can rub on underwear.

“Hypertrophy of the labia minora is a functional and esthetic problem that can have a significant impact on quality of life.” —Dr Albane

LABIA MINORA

The reduction procedure of the labial minora is the most common procedure. The intervention consists of repairing the labia minora’s hypertrophy by removing the excess loosening skin. This excess can be related to ageing or birth defect. Hypertrophy manifests itself in the excessive projection of the labia minora that protrude beyond the vulvar slit and the labia majora. It can rub on underwear and can cause functional discomfort during sexual intercourse or even in everyday life. In addition to the aesthetic and functional discomfort, there are also psychological repercussions, which can alter the patient’s image of her femininity and create a complex. The improvement is aesthetic but this procedure has a beneficial impact on the patient’s personal well-being, behaviour and development as they are relieved of their complex.

CLITORAL HOOD REDUCTION SURGERY

A clitoral hood reduction, also known as a hoodectomy, reduces the length and projection of the skin around the clitoris. This procedure can be done for various reasons, but is typically done to enhance stimulation during sexual activity or reduce excess skin that causes discomfort while exercising or wearing certain clothing.

LABIA MAJORA LIFT

A labia majoraplasty or lift is a procedure designed to surgically reduce the size of the outer, hair-bearing labia majora.

The surgeon removes two slight crescents of skin from the inner portion of each labium. The amount to be removed depends on the amount of excess tissue. In some cases, when there is atrophy of fatty tissue, a small amount of fat can be transferred from another area of the body after liposuction. This procedure is called lipofilling and can also be done with synthetic dermal fillers.

FACE LIFT

Where in the past faces were just lifted or pulled, nowadays we look at face-lifting as sculpting and restoring lost volume. The term lifting is misleading and should instead better be called facial skin re-draping.

The aim must be to reverse the anatomic effects of ageing by repositioning of the SMAS layer underneath the skin in the most natural way possible

LIP LIFT

A lip lift is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that gives the appearance of fuller and more youthful and defined lips. The upper lip is elevated through a small incision under the nose. It shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip by removing that excess bit of skin. This procedure takes less than one hour and is best completed by lip fillers.

EYE LIFT

Blepharoplasty is a commonly performed cosmetic surgery that can remove the sagging skin, dark shadows, puffiness and bags under your eyes. In as little as one hour, it can fix eyelid drooping and reverse the signs of ageing in your eyelids. It can also solve functional problems by treating the skin that can disturb the natural contour of the eyelid and impair vision.

EAR CORRECTION SURGERY

Ear surgery can improve the shape, position or proportion of the ear. It can correct a defect in the ear structure that is present at birth and becomes apparent with development or it can treat misshaped ears caused by injury. The surgery creates a natural shape while bringing balance and proportion to the ears and face, and can have profound beneﬁts on one’s appearance and self-esteem.

ACNE SCAR CORRECTION

Rejuvenating Skin

French Aesthetic Clinic — Fri, 18 Dec 2020 03:48:42 +0000

Two cosmetic procedures:

MULTI-VITAMIN MESOTHERAPY

Mesotherapy is a rejuvenation treatment that is safe, natural and non-invasive. It uses very fine needles to deliver a series of injections into the middle layers of skin. The substances injected consists of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. These nourish and rejuvenate skin by promoting the production of collagen and elastin and stimulating the skin’s metabolism. Mesotherapy injections will make your skin look firmer and more radiant.

THREAD LIFTS

We are the only clinic in Dar es Salaam to offer this minimally invasive technique that can shave years off your age without you having to undergo major surgery with a long recovery time. We insert absorbable threads, which have long been used in surgery, into the face and body. New connective tissue builds up around them so skin becomes firmer and tighter. This new and gentle method of lifting and revitalising tissue leaves neither wounds nor scars.

BODY

LIPOSUCTION

Liposuction is the most performed procedure throughout the earth. Contrary to popular belief, liposuction is not a miracle weight loss tool; it is a body contouring procedure that changes your shape by removing unwanted stubborn fat from areas such as the thighs, stomach and love handles.

LIPOFILLING

After a liposuction, we use the fat cells collected to fill up places which have lost fat on the face for example or to create some volume on the breast or butt: It is a lipofilling. In certain cases, we do the liposuction only to be able to collect this fact needed for the lipofilling.

SCAR REVISION

Scars are visible signs that remain after a wound has healed. They are the unavoidable results of injury or surgery, and their development can be unpredictable. Depending on how they have healed, they may become raised or recessed, different in colour or texture from surrounding healthy tissue or particularly noticeable due to their size, shape or location. Whilst scar revision surgery cannot completely erase a scar, it can make it more consistent with your surrounding skin tone and texture and provide a more pleasing cosmetic result.

Cancer Treatments

CANCER SCREENING

Cancer screening is very important and should be done from your mid twenties going forward in life. The process consists of looking for anything abnormal on the skin, that could be the start of cancer. The screening checks the skin for moles, birthmarks, or other marks that are unusual in colour, size, shape, or texture. A dermoscope is used to inspect the abnormality which then assists in the decision making of whether or not to have a biopsy.

In general, if you have a fair skin, you should start getting screened regularly. However, if you live in the tropics, have a family with a history of skin cancer, or have lots of moles, you should be checked more often.

We make a mole mapping (taking pictures of your moles) to monitor if there are any changes going forward that will require more investigation.

CANCER SURGERY

Skin Cancer diagnosis may be difficult to accept, mainly if it is located on the face. Every time it is possible, we use Mohs surgery technique to reduce scaring as well as minimizing any further risk of the cancer spreading.

When the lesion is wide, we use reconstructive techniques : flapping to hide the scare in the natural folds of the face and grafts.

Dr. Albane works closely with the consultants of Hopital Ambroise Pare in Grand Paris to make sure that the treatment she proposes is aligned with the international guidelines.

MOHS SURGERY

Mohs micrographic surgery is accepted worldwide as the gold standard for removing the several common forms of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, sarcomas, Dubreuilh’s melanomas.

This precise surgical technique, whereby thin layers of cancer-containing skin are removed and examined until only cancer-free tissue remains, boasts the lowest recurrence rate and highest cure rate, and leaves the smallest scar possible.

Dr Albane’s team in Paris introduced this surgery to France and the hospital in Paris where she works remains the referral center for this type of surgery.

RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY

Reconstructive surgery is performed to treat body parts affected aesthetically or functionally by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities or after large skin cancer excision.

The different options of reconstruction will be presented to you and you will decide which one meets your expectations.
