Modern treatment methods in Plastic Surgery Department

Plastic Surgery Department practices all modern methods of reconstructive interventions.

Endoscopic facelift

The classic facelift technique is a circular facelift. During this surgery, large incisions are made, which are placed in less noticeable areas (hairline on head, chin), but if you look closely, such scars always remain noticeable. The modern version of a facelift is an endoscopic facelift; during this procedure, incisions up to 0.5 cm long are made in the area of the temples and forehead along the hairline; surgeon performs all manipulations using modern endoscopic technology.

Benefits of endoscopic facelift:

minimally invasive procedure;
significantly lower amount of complications;
severe postoperative swelling occurs less frequently;
recovery is much faster;
surgery time is reduced;
the effect of procedure is comparable to a classic circular facelift.

Mohs micrographic surgery

Often, after radical treatment of skin tumors, disfiguring scars remain on the body, and if this is located in a visible place, for example, on face, this can cause serious psychological problems for patients in future. In Plastic Surgery Department, we practice a modern method of treating skin tumors using the Mohs method in order to minimize the possibility of large scar formation at the site of radical surgery to remove the tumor.

The technique allows for microscopic examination of tissues during surgery itself and layer-by-layer tumor removal, while preserving the full extent of healthy tissue.

Using the Mohs method, our specialists perform interventions such as removal of cysts, moles, lipomas, scars, suspicious skin tumors, and malignant tumors (basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma).

Important!

Patient is required to undergo allergy tests for drugs that will be used during surgery and in postoperative period. In case of positive reactions, medications are replaced with safe options for each patient.

Blepharoplasty

This procedure allows us to remove defects of lower eyelid (bags and wrinkles under the eyes). The incision is made along the edge of eyelash growth or from the inner surface of lower eyelid. Next, surgeon eliminates all defects (excess skin or fatty tissue). The procedure is highly effective and can be performed under both general and local anesthesia.

Otoplasty

Correcting the shape of ears can eliminate a fairly common problem – protruding ears. Surgery is performed on both adults and children from the age of 7 (at this point formation of auricles in children ends). The incision is located behind the ear, so scar will be completely invisible in future.

Female breast reconstruction using the DIEP flap method

Breast removal is a common procedure for cancer. Recently, this disease has affected middle-aged patients, and not just older women. At the same time, losing a breast for most women is not only a medical tragedy, but also a difficult psychological test.

Therefore, at TAMC, all breast cancer patients scheduled for mastectomy consult with a plastic surgeon about future breast reconstruction.

One of the best methods for breast reconstruction is the DIEP flap technique. The essence of surgery: a skin flap is excised from patient along with subcutaneous fat in abdomen or buttock and transplanted to the site of removed breast. With the help of high-tech microsurgical equipment, a new female breast is formed, which is almost identical to natural one.

Reconstruction of female breast using the DIEP flap method is a very complicated surgery, but TAMC plastic surgeons are perfectly proficient in the technique of performing this progressive surgical intervention.

This is only a small part of plastic surgeries performed by surgeons at Plastic Surgery Department of Tel Aviv Medical Clinic.
