Reconstructive Surgery

Reconstructive plastic surgery is performed to restore function and normal appearance, and correct deformities created by birth defects, trauma or medical conditions including cancer. Examples include breast reconstruction following a lumpectomy or mastectomy for breast cancer, reconstructive surgery after burn injuries and skin cancer surgery. 

Using a wide range of reconstructive techniques, plastic surgeons mend holes and repair damage primarily through the transfer of tissue from one part of the body to another. Their main aim is to restore the body, or the function of a specific part of the body, to normal.

Plastic surgeon Cyprus - Plastic surgeon Limassol - Plastic surgery Limassol - Plastic surgery NicosiaMigraine headaches are a neurological disease that frequently have a wide range of symptoms, the most common being a headache. Surgery for migraine headaches was first discovered by a Cleveland plastic surgeon, who noticed that patients were reporting migraine relief after undergoing cosmetic brow-lift surgery. Research later showed that release of the supraorbital nerve, which is commonly done during brow-lift surgery, was the reason for this improvement.Since that discovery, we now know of several other nerves that can trigger migraines headaches.
