Gynaecomastia is the most common breast problem in men characterized by the benign enlargement of breasts. Usually both breasts are symmetrically involved but sometimes there may be enlargement of only one breast. Breast growth usually starts at puberty and is a physiological response to hormonal changes at that age. This slight hypertrophy normally subsides spontaneously but occasionally persists.
This condition needs to be treated as persistent enlargement of the male breast can become a source of embarrassment and distress in the adolescent or adult male. The treatment for gynaecomastia is surgical by means of liposuction by a very small incision at the margin of areola (dark pigmented skin around the nipple). There are no visible scars after surgery. Patient is given pressure garments for six weeks to prevent hematoma formation and allow the loose skin after liposuction to shape nicely over chest muscles.
Cleft lip and palate are congenital defects seen in newborns, where a gap occurs in the lip alone or in both the lip and palate, often accompanied by nasal deformity. While cleft lip primarily affects appearance and requires repair for cosmetic reasons, cleft palate and alveolus (the teeth-bearing portion of the jaw) cause several functional issues.
Babies with a cleft palate often face difficulty in sucking milk, which can affect nutrition. As they grow, they may develop problems in speech, hearing, and tooth eruption at the cleft site.
Timely surgical correction is crucial. Cleft lip repair is typically performed around three months of age, while palate repair is recommended between one to one and a half years. Continuous follow-up with a plastic surgeon is essential until adulthood to monitor growth and manage any secondary concerns.
As the child grows, additional procedures such as rhinoplasty (correction of nasal deformity) and dental treatments may be required to improve both function and appearance, ensuring proper facial development and confidence.
Although many people find moles on their faces to be attractive and do not want anything to be done for them, others feel uncomfortable about their presence usually these moles do not present any problem but if they start growing in size, change their colour or start showing discharge, they need urgent removal. Use of acids or other chemicals to remove these moles may leave bad scars or defects which are difficult to treat. Timely surgical removal of moles is the best option.
Acute burn patients require management of their wounds by an expert in the field so that the wounds heal faster, scarring is minimal and any consequential deformity is prevented from developing. Superficial burns can heal with proper dressings and supportive treatment within a period of one to two weeks without any complications. However the deep burns, which may take months to heal, should be excised and wounds should be covered with skin graft as soon as the general condition of the patient allows. This leads to early healing of wounds, reduction of risk to life, early discharge of patient from the hospital and prevention of deformities. The whole treatment also proves to be more economical. Even after healing of wounds patients need to remain in the follow up care of a plastic surgeon for their early rehabilitation into their social and professional life.
The hands are vital for day-to-day functions performed by people. Any kind of trauma to hand which may be because of roadside accident, an injury in a machine or even be self inflicted, should be taken care of by a plastic surgeon who is expert in hand surgery. Amputated fingers or hand can be re-implanted by micro-vascular surgery provided the injury is caused by a sharp instrument.
Tubular breast deformity is a congenital condition where the breasts appear narrow, elongated, and constricted at the base, often with enlarged areolas and asymmetry. Tubular breast correction surgery aims to reshape and reconstruct the breast to achieve a natural, rounded contour. The procedure involves releasing the tight breast tissue, reshaping the gland, reducing areolar size, and often placing breast implants or fat grafts to restore volume and symmetry. Surgery is done under general anaesthesia, with a short recovery period. The result is a beautifully proportioned, natural-looking breast shape that enhances confidence and body aesthetics.
Breast reduction is many a time demanded by a patient with large breasts who suffers from pain in the shoulders and back leading to postural changes. These patients are often troubled by recurrent fungal infections in the breast fold. The incisions for the procedure are designed to reduce the size of the breast preserving its functions and aesthetics.
Sagging of breast tissue with age and lactation or significant weight loss can be corrected by the procedure called mastopexy or breast lift. Sometimes the procedure needs to be combined with breast augmentation if there is a loss of breast volume.
Birth defects like prominent ears, Dermoid cysts, hemangiomas, extra digits in hand or foot and other complex hand deformities, are also treated by plastic surgeons in an efficient way to give better functional and cosmetic results. Hemangioma are abnormal growth of blood vessels which are most common on face. They may be present at birth or may become apparent after some time. They usually grow up to the age of one year and then start regloosing on their own. They may completely disappear around the age of 9-10 years. But still some hemangiomas need surgical intervention. Dermoid cysts are small swellings near the eye which gradually increase in size. They need surgical treatment for their removal.
The natural process of wound healing is by formation of a scar. The scars vary in nature and appearance according to the nature of injury- whether due to burns or clean cuts or crushing of tissues. All scars take about six months to one year to mature to their final appearance. After this period the residual scars can be improved upon but cannot be eliminated completely. If the initial wound is treated by a plastic surgeon, the scarring can be reduced to quite some extent by their deft handling of tissues. Different scars need different kinds of treatment or may require multimodal approach. A patient’s healing ability has an important bearing on the outcome of scar revision surgery because of which the revised scar may not match the desires of the patient as well as that of the surgeon at times.
Successive pregnancies or significant weight loss can cause sagging of the lower abdominal skin and weakening of abdominal muscles. Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to restore a firm, toned abdomen. The procedure involves removing excess skin, tightening the abdominal muscles, and, if needed, performing liposuction to eliminate stubborn fat deposits. The belly button is reshaped and repositioned for a natural look. The resulting scar remains hidden beneath garments. Performed under general anaesthesia, this surgery requires a short hospital stay of two to three days, and most patients can resume normal activities within a week.
Baldness is considered a sign of ageing but nowadays even young men and boys suffer from hair loss leading to lot of distress. Although drugs like Minoxydil have been used to treat baldness but subsequent hair growth is scanty and temporary. Surgery is the only viable choice for those wishing to have a natural long-lasting outcome of treatment. Follicular grafting has remained the standard for several years now. It requires harvesting a strip of hair-bearing skin from the back of the scalp, harvesting follicular units under magnification and transplanting these units in the predetermined pattern in the desired region of the scalp. The procedure is done under under local anaesthesia as an outpatient procedure. The growth of hair starts in about 2-3 months and is expected to be parallel to the size of other hair in 6-9 months. Hair transplant can also be performed in the beard area or even eyebrows if there is loss of hair due to burns scarring. Even women who may also suffer from thinning of hair can benefit from this procedure.
Lipoma treatment by liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove benign fatty lumps (lipomas) beneath the skin. Instead of traditional surgical excision, liposuction gently extracts the fatty tissue through small incisions, leaving minimal scars and promoting faster recovery. At A New You Plastic Surgery Clinic, advanced liposuction techniques ensure precise removal while preserving surrounding tissues. The procedure is safe, effective, and ideal for patients seeking improved appearance and comfort. Performed under local or general anesthesia, it offers excellent cosmetic outcomes and minimal downtime, allowing patients to quickly return to their normal activities.
Post-vitriolage deformity refers to facial disfigurement caused by acid attacks, leading to severe burns, scarring, and tissue loss. Reconstruction aims to restore both function and appearance through multiple staged surgeries such as skin grafting, flap reconstruction, and scar revision. The goal is to rebuild facial features, improve eyelid and mouth movement, and enhance overall facial symmetry. Along with surgical correction, psychological support plays a crucial role in helping patients regain confidence, dignity, and reintegrate into society.
Re-virgination surgery, also known as hymenoplasty, is a delicate cosmetic procedure designed to restore the hymen, recreating its natural appearance and structure. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort and no visible scarring. At A New You Plastic Surgery Clinic, our expert surgeons ensure complete privacy, safety, and precision, offering results that look and feel natural. Recovery is quick, and patients can resume normal activities within a few days. This procedure is chosen by women for personal, cultural, or emotional reasons, helping them regain confidence and a sense of renewed self-esteem.
