When combined with the number of women that are of the belief that an implant can lift up their sagging breasts, it can be a surprise when the concept of a breast lift is discussed as needed with their implants..

Such ear amputations pose major reconstructive challenges which can be done using an autogenous method (cartilage framework and vascularized soft tissue cover), completely prosthetic method (ear prosthesis) or a combination of both autogenous tissue and prosthesis. (synthetic Read More…
