Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using saline or silicone implants. Ideal for patients seeking fuller breasts or post-pregnancy restoration, this procedure addresses asymmetry and volume loss. Dr. Balakhani tailors implant selection to body type and goals, ensuring natural contours and symmetry. Recovery typically involves 1-2 weeks of rest, with full results visible after swelling subsides.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits from areas like the abdomen, thighs, and neck to improve body proportions. Using advanced techniques, Dr. Balakhani sculpts targeted regions for a smoother silhouette. Patients maintain results through stable weight and healthy habits. Recovery includes wearing compression garments and avoiding strenuous activity for several weeks to optimize healing.
Facelift
A facelift addresses sagging skin and deep wrinkles to rejuvenate the face and neck. Dr. Balakhani tightens underlying tissues and repositions skin for a youthful contour. Results last 5-10 years, with recovery involving swelling management and sun protection. Complementary procedures like eyelid surgery enhance overall outcomes.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty refines nasal proportions by adjusting size, shape, or symmetry. Dr. Balakhani corrects congenital defects, injuries, or breathing issues while maintaining facial harmony. Swelling resolves over months, with final results emerging after a year. Patients report improved confidence and functional benefits post-recovery.
Breast Lift
A breast lift restores firmness by removing excess skin and tightening tissue. Ideal for post-pregnancy or age-related sagging, this procedure repositions nipples and reshapes breasts. Results are long-lasting, though weight fluctuations or aging may affect longevity. Recovery includes limited physical activity for four weeks.
