Plastic surgery focuses on altering, repairing, or reconstructing parts of the human body to:
- Enhance aesthetic appearance.
- Correct congenital defects, traumatic injuries, malformations, or bodily alterations caused by diseases.
This branch of medicine encompasses both cosmetic surgery, which aims to improve physical appearance, and reconstructive surgery, which focuses on repairing or reconstructing damaged body parts.
Plastic surgery can significantly impact patients’ lives, boosting their self-esteem and confidence. However, it is crucial that the decision to undergo surgery is well-considered and based on accurate and detailed information provided by the plastic surgeon.
Common Plastic Surgery Procedures:
- Breast Augmentation: Enhancing breast size.
- Liposuction: Removing excess fat.
- Rhinoplasty: Nose surgery.
- Facelift: Removing excess skin and reshaping the face.
- Eyelid Surgery: Removing excess skin or fat from the eyelids.

At Arsbiomedica, plastic surgery involves a multidisciplinary approach, requiring close collaboration between the plastic surgeon and other specialists, such as dermatologists, oncologists, orthopedic surgeons, and neurologists, depending on the patient’s specific needs.
Consultation and Considerations
Before undergoing plastic surgery, it is important for patients to discuss their expectations, concerns, and goals with the plastic surgeon. During the initial consultation, the surgeon will assess the patient’s condition, discuss available treatment options, and provide detailed information about potential risks or complications associated with the procedure.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks and benefits to consider. Therefore, it is essential to have a thorough consultation with an expert to evaluate the benefits and any contraindications before proceeding.
Aesthetic Medicine
At Arsbiomedica, we offer a variety of Aesthetic Medicine services, including:
The medical body hair removal treatment using Alexandrite Laser / Moveo Technology involves repeated passes over the targeted areas. This induces gradual heating of hair follicles for hair removal, melanocytes for benign pigmented lesions, hemoglobin for vascular lesions, and collagen for skin rejuvenation, effectively eliminating the problem and achieving the desired endpoint.
Pigmented lesions (age spots and sun spots) are skin discolorations that develop over time due to various factors and are commonly found on areas of the body most exposed to sunlight. Using Nd:YAG Q-Switched laser technology, very short-duration pulses can be emitted, selectively interacting with and effectively removing these skin spots quickly and efficiently.
Tattoo removal is performed using Nd:YAG Q-Switched technology, which delivers a sequence of extremely short-duration laser pulses. Operating in the picosecond regime (one trillionth of a second), the laser effectively pulverizes the tattoo ink.
Vascular lesions such as capillaries and subcutaneous venules can be removed using the Nd:YAG-Alexandrite vascular laser, which induces a thermo-coagulative effect on hemoglobin.
