Chemical Peel
Chemical peel treatment uses a chemical solution on the skin that causes skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This is administered to address skin issues related to wrinkling, ageing, acne and hyperpigmentation. The newly regenerated skin is smoother and gives the target area a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
Laser hair removal
Laser hair removal provides an effective alternative for conventional hair removal mechanisms that are short-term, inconvenient and sometimes even painful. The use of a concentrated beam of laser light allows the hair follicles to be removed by heat with no pain involved. Generally, 4 – 8 sessions are required to obtain complete results.
Botox
Botox is a US –FDA approved procedure that helps reduce wrinkles and improves facial appearance. The procedure involves administering a neuromodulator in the form of small injections into the problematic areas of the face. This safe and efficient procedure involves no down time and gives results in less than 10 days.
Fillers
Dermal fillers help eliminate facial lines by adding volume and fullness beneath the surface of the skin. It addresses problems such as thinning lips, shallow areas on the face, wrinkles and scars. Fillers generally last between 3-6 months
PDO threads
PDO threads helps lift and tighten sagging skin to enhance its appearance. Polydioxanone threads are implanted into the skin using small needles to induce collagen production that helps rejuvenate skin. Complete recovery time may vary according to the level of swelling. However, it is generally less than 3 days while the results lasts between 1- 2 years.
Micro Needling
Micro needling a non-painful method used to address skin issues related to scarring, hyperpigmentation, wrinkling and sun damage. Fine needles are used to create small holes in the top layers of skin to induces collagen production. This is an affordable skin rejuvenation treatment option that allow the skin to look fresher and healthier in just a few weeks with minimal discomfort.
Tattoo removal / Birthmark removal
The removal of pigmented lesions in the skin such as tattoos and birthmarks is achieved through a variety of laser treatments. Short, pulsating laser beams is directed at the areas of the skin that require correction. The procedures are quick and non- invasive and usually require very little recovery time.
Stretch mark treatment
Treating stretch marks is done using multiple techniques. Laser treatment removes the outer layer of the skin that helps the overlying skin to restructure. In addition, microneedling, platelet rich plasma (PRP) and mesotherapy can help eliminate stretch marks.
Acne and Acne scar management
A combination of treatments including chemical peels, intense pulsed light (IPL), laser treatment, platelet rich plasma (PRP) and microneedling can be used to manage acne and acne scars. The best combination will be decided by your doctor during consultation and analysis of your skin. However, a comprehensive home skin care routine is also very important to maintain the results of the treatment.
Laser facial rejuvenation / IPL
Intense Pulsed Light is a procedure that can be used to enhance the appearance of skin in the face, neck or hands. It is administered using the M22 machine that is US FDA approved. IPL targets the blood vessels and collagen below the epidermis in order to rejuvenate skin by eliminating the signs of ageing, damage and discolouration.
Spider veins / Telangiectasia
Spider veins can be treated using noninvasive laser treatment. These veins that usually appear in blue or red regress or disappear with the application of laser heat. Results are sometimes seen after a single treatment. However, most often two or more treatments maybe required in order to see complete results. Injectable solutions are sometimes used depending on the severity of the condition and the target location.
Scar treatment
Laser treatment, PRP/Meostherapy and Intralesional steroid injections are all treatment options to reduce scars in the body. All these procedures are minimally invasive and have little to no down time. The best option is a combination of treatments which will be decided by your doctor depending on the target area, extent of scarring and other individual factors.
PRP / Mesotherapy
The Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) procedure is a non-invasive, safe and efficient procedure that can be beneficial for both skin rejuvenation and improved hair growth. Use of the patient’s own tissues for the procedure reduces the risk of rejection and allergies. A course of treatments is recommended for best results. Mesotherapy uses injections of vitamins and plant extracts to rejuvenate the skin. PRP and Mesotherapy can be administered together or as independent treatments.
Hair growth treatment
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-invasive procedure to help induce hair growth. It is usually a three step treatment where the patient’s blood is drawn, processed and platelet rich plasma is reinjected to the problem areas. However, maintenance treatment is also required
Fat reduction / Cellulite treatment
The Mesotherapy Lipolysis technique is used for fat and cellulite reduction in target areas such as thighs, buttocks, hips, arms, legs and face. It is especially useful in the treatment of small fat deposits such as double chin areas. It uses injections of vitamins, enzymes and hormones to help break fatty tissues and tighten loose skin.
Cauterization (Wart removal)
Cauterization uses heat from electricity to remove warts and other skin growths. The growth can usually be eliminated with a single application of the procedure. However, a wound is left behind as a result of cauterization. This heals between 1 to 6 weeks.

FACE LIFT
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates your face and neck by eliminating the visible signs of aging. The main issues addressed by the procedure includes
Sagging caused due to the relaxation of facial skin
Fold lines between the nose and the corner of the mouth (nasolabial folds)
Disproportionate fat (excess fat in lower face and fat loss in mid face)
Jowls in the cheeks and jaw
Double chin/ turkey neck caused by loose skin and excess fat
All of the above factors result in the loss of youthful contours in the face. This loss is facilitated by thinning of the skin, loss of facial fat, gravity, sun damage and smoking. In addition, factors such as heredity and stress also contribute to it. Regardless of the cause for the changes in your face, we offer a solution that helps you regain a youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Brow lift and eyelid surgery is sometimes performed together with a facelift. In addition, fat transfers/fillers can be recommended to replace loss fatty volume. Other procedures that improve the quality and texture of the skin such as (intense pulsed light), peels, neuromodulator injections or laser treatments may also be suggested.
When is a face lift desirable?
You may decide the timing for the procedure according to your personal preference. However, our consultants will be happy to clarify any doubts you may have about the decision.
NECK LIFT
What is a neck lift?
A neck lift also known as a lower rhytidectomy is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the neck and reduce the signs of ageing.
When is a neck lift desirable?
There are instances when the appearance of the neck does not match the appearance of the upper face. This is most often when neck lifts become desirable. A Neck liposuction is another procedure that allows the reduction of a double chin. This in turn restores the definition of the lower face. Submental liposuction gets rid of the sagging, fatty tissue below the chin and is a less invasive option than a facelift.
A neck lift surgery addresses the following:
Tightens loose skin
Removes excess fat
Reduces a double chin
Reduces jowls
Defines the jaw line
Treats “turkey” neck
EYELID SURGERY
Also known as blepharoplasty, an eyelid surgery is performed to improve the appearance of the eyelids. It can be aimed at improving the appearance of the upper lids, lower lids or both. The surgery could either be performed with the objective of improving one’s appearance or to address functional problems related to eyelids.
An eyelid surgery addresses the following:
Factors that disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid such as loose or sagging skin. These factors can also impair vision.
Puffiness in the eyelids caused due to fat deposits
Bags or dark circles under the eyes
Appearance of white below the iris due to dropping lower eyelids
Wrinkles and excess skin seen in the lower eyelids
Eyelid reduction surgery will improve the bags and wrinkles around the eyes but will not improve wrinkles of the cheeks, temples or forehead. The procedure also does not address issues caused by drooping eyebrows.
RHINOPLASTY
Rhinoplasty, also known as nose surgery, is a surgical procedure to reshape the nose and improve its appearance. Rhinoplasty also addresses issues such as birth defects, deformities which result from injury and nasal obstructions. It helps to rectify proportions of your nose to achieve facial harmony. Nose surgery can also correct impaired breathing caused due to structural defects.
Nose surgery addresses/ rectifies following:
Nose size in relation to facial balance
Nose width at the bridge as well as the size and position of the nostrils
Visible depression or humps seen on the bridge of the nose
An enlarged or bulbous, drooping, upturned or hooked nose tip
Nostrils that are large, wide or upturned
Rhinoplasty to correct a deviated septum
Correction of a deviated septum, one of the most common causes of breathing impairment, is achieved by adjusting the nasal structure to produce better alignment
FAT INJECTIONS
A more youthful, rejuvenated appearance can be regained by a surgical procedure called fat injections, also known as facial injections or face injections. It is an effective way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, diminish acne scarring and contour the face. By injecting the fat collected from your own body, cosmetic surgeons at Aesthetic & Cosmetic Centre by Ninewells enhance facial fullness, fill deep creases, soften facial creases and wrinkles to give definition and build up shallow contours and help you to achieve the outcome you desire.

Body fat makes an excellent soft tissue filler material. Facial contouring can be done by fat injection procedure also called autologous fat transplantation that transfers fat from one part of the body to another to re-contour the face. It helps to reduce frown lines, nasolabial folds (smile lines), crow ’s feet and provide definition to areas like the cheeks and chin. Fat injection is a successful procedure that can also be used to fill out depressed scarred areas on any part of the body. Fat injection procedure is not permanent, and may require an effective maintenance program.
Technique:
The donor site (for example, abdomen, buttocks or thighs) and the treatment site are injected with local anaesthetic to numb the area. Fat cells are extracted through a small needle attached to a syringe after injecting an Intravenous (IV) fluid also into the donor site to facilitate fat collection. The fat is then processed to remove excess fluids and it is reinjected with another needle in multiple thin strands in the desired area. Fat also can be collected during a lipoplasty (liposuction) procedure in one area of the body, and then reinjected in another.
Benefits :
Natural, non-allergenic. Outpatient procedure that generally takes under an hour.
Injections may last from several months to permanently.
Minimal or no downtime.
Minimal discomfort, which can be controlled with pain relief medications.
Because fat is from the patient’s own body, no pre-testing is required and the fat cannot be rejected therefore no risk of allergy.
Good substitute if the patient is allergic to bovine collagen.
It is a cost effective if combined with another procedure like lipoplasty (liposuction).
BREAST SURGERIES
Breast surgeries are performed to achieve many objectives. For some women, it is a procedure that allows them to feel confident by enhancing their appearance. For others they are essential procuders for rebuilding breasts due to various conditions. There are three main categories of breast surgery:
Read More
- Augmentation – Enhances appearance, contour and size
- Reduction – Removal of excess skin, fat and glandular tissue
- Reconstruction – Recreate breasts with desired appearance, contour and volume
At Ninewells Hospital, all of the above surgeries are performed with special care to ensure that each client receives a personalised treatment plan that ensures best results.
Breast reduction
Breast reduction also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a plastic surgical procedure that reduces the size of overly large breasts. Overly large breasts can cause health issues, physical pain, discomfort as well as challenges with regards to self-image.
Breast reduction surgery eliminates excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin to achieve a breast size that is proportionate to your body. The procedure is designed to relieve the discomfort associated with overly large breasts.
Breast augmentation
Breast augmentation also known as augmentation mammoplasty can be a cosmetic surgery or a reconstructive procedure, depending on the circumstances. Almost any healthy woman who wants to enhance her figure with breast augmentation may do so as it improves fullness and shape to create beautiful natural looking breasts.
There are a number of reasons why women pursue breast augmentation. Some women are unhappy with their natural breast size while others lose breast volume due to pregnancy or weight loss. Some women will have a noticeable difference between the sizes of the two breasts and would like to have them made equal in size.
The breast augmentation involves implants being inserted beneath the breasts to enlarge them. The type of the implant and size depends on factors such as how much bigger you want your breasts to be, skin thickness and elasticity, your breast anatomy and body type.
Some of the benefits in breast augmentations are listed below
Increase breast size
Enhance cleavage and upper pole fullness
Improve proportions between your breast and torso
Improve symmetry between breasts that are different in size or shape
Restore lost volume due to pregnancy, weight loss or ageing
Boost self-confidence

Some of the key concerns addressed through the mummy make over are loss of volume or droopiness of the breasts, excess skin or volume of the stomach area and vaginal stretching or labial tears caused by childbirth.

Tummy Tuck (abdominoplasty)
C/S scar revision

Breast Augmentation
Breast lift
Breast reduction
Labiaplasty

What plastic surgery procedures are common for mummy makeovers?
Some mothers might only choose to have one surgical procedure, while others would go ahead with several procedures. If possible, some or all of the procedures may be performed during one surgery to minimise costs and downtime while speeding up recovery time.
The most popular plastic surgery procedures include:
Tummy tuck – Also known as abdominoplasty is used to make the abdomen thinner and more firm. It removes excess skin or “aprons” of skin around the abdomen giving mom’s back their pre baby tummy shapes.
Liposuction – This is a procedure that removes stubborn fatty deposits. It is commonly used to remove fat in the tummy area, hips and/or thighs.
Breast lift or Breast enhancement – Also known as a mastopexy, reshapes and increases the volume of the breasts. This is achieved by raising the breasts and tightening the surrounding tissue. Most often it also includes breast implants.
Breast reduction – Some mothers desire to reduce the size of their breasts once they have completed breastfeeding. This can also be achieved via surgery.
Vaginal rejuvenation – Also known as vaginoplasty, this involves tightening of the vagina or a distended labia which has been stretched or torn after childbirth. This procedure is becoming increasingly sought after by mothers of all ages.

BODY CONTOURING/LIPOSUCTION
Aesthetic and Cosmetic Centre by Ninewells offers world renowned and scientifically proven body shaping procedures for any individual. These procedures are aimed at restoring and boosting your confidence. Body contouring is a plastic surgery procedure that removes the excessive sagging skin and fat to improve the shape of your body and provide smoother contours.

Significant weight reduction is a major accomplishment that enhances your health, outlook, general appearance and overall wellbeing but extreme weight loss may leave you with heavy sagging skin around your arms, thighs, abdomen, buttocks, breasts and face. Loosening of the skin can be seen as a result of extreme weight loss as a result of stretching for a long time, thereby preventing the skin from shrinking back to its original position. This will give rise to many problems such as hygienic and medical issues, sores, rashes, infections and is a major cosmetic issue. Body contouring plastic surgery can help you achieve a new, positive and confident image.
Liposuction and liposculpture are two commonly used plastic surgical procedures that are performed tens of thousands of times throughout the year. These two plastic surgeries have a few unique differences. It is important that you understand these subtle differences, if you are exploring the benefits of either surgery.
Liposuction
Liposuction is also known as “lipo.” It is a cosmetic surgery that is performed to slim and reshape specific areas of the body by reducing and removing excess fat deposits. Liposuction can be used by a skilled cosmetic surgeon to improve a patient’s body contours and proportions. Liposuction techniques are often used on: thighs, hips, buttock, abdomen, upper arms, and lower legs, back, around the knee, chest, chin and neck.
A vital component for a successful liposuction procedure is consistent exercise both before and after the surgery. Exercise will ensure that you maintain the results of the surgery.
Liposculpture
Liposculpture is a more advanced cosmetic surgery while in the same cosmetic family as liposuction. It is designed to perform more excessive contouring through the removal and reshaping of fat deposits in the body. It is performed to enhance the definition of muscles and remove fat from problem areas, such as the stomach, neck, and chin.
These procedures can be performed as day surgeries. However, patients are welcomed to stay overnight in the hospital if they wish to. The quick recovery time of the procedure allows patients to go back to work within 2-3 days post-surgery. However, this may be subjective to the individual.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty which is also known as ‘tummy tuck’ a surgery that is designed to tighten muscles that become loose or split following pregnancy, or to remove excess fat and sagging skin from the middle and lower abdomen after massive weight loss. The result is a flatter, firmer and toned abdomen.
While abdominoplasty can be a cosmetic procedure, it may also be partly a reconstructive surgery that is necessary to restore weakened or separated muscles, to repair an abdominal hernia, improve bladder function and remove a large apron of fat, also called a pannus. A firmer and smoother abdominal profile is achieved in all of the above instances by removing the excess skin and changing the shape and tone of the abdomen.
Abdominoplasty is not an alternate for weight loss or exercise. It may be possible to achieve a flatter stomach without surgery, through healthy eating plans and exercise. However, there are instances when natural weight loss does not allow to achieve these results. In such occasions, abdominoplasty is an ideal option.
It is important to note that many plastic surgeons advise to work towards achieving the desired body shape through exercise and dieting as an initial step and to follow it up with surgery if necessary.
There are two types of abdominoplasty,
Full abdominoplasty – which is performed to removes excess skin and tightens underlying muscles across the whole abdominal area, including around the navel
Partial abdominoplasty – which is performed to removes excess skin below the navel and tightens the lower abdominal muscles only.
GYNAECOMASTIA CORRECTION
Gynaecomastia refers to the development of breast tissue or overdeveloped breasts in males. The cause for the condition is often unknown and it can affect only one breast or both. Up to 50 % of males experience this condition, at least to a certain extent.
Even though it has no apparent health effects, gynaecomastia can result in emotional impacts such as loss of confidence and self-esteem. Breast-reduction surgery is a safe and effective procedure to overcome the challenges brought on by the condition.

The procedure removes excess fat and/or glandular tissue from the chest. This results in flatter, firmer and better contoured chest. Liposuction is also used as part of the procedure to remove fat tissue through incisions around the areola. Such incisions are barely seen because the scar is well hidden.
Usually male breast reduction surgery can be done as a day-case. However, many choose to stay overnight in a hospital bed. Regardless, the procedure ensures quick recovery and allow most patients to return back to work in 2 -3 days. For maximum comfort and safety, the surgery is performed under a General Anaesthetic, administered by an Anaesthetist.
