Breast augmentation (mammaplasty) is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in Albania. Hundreds of thousands of women each year have this surgery to improve their appearance. Breast implants can be used to increase your breast size, restore lost volume, create greater symmetry for uneven breasts and reshape your bust line.
Candidate Profiles for Breast Augmentations
If you're 18 years or older and feel self conscious about your breasts being too small, uneven or lacking in firmness, you may benefit from breast augmentation. Ideally, you should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the benefits and potential complications of plastic surgery. You may wish to stabilize your weight before having this operation; substantial weight loss after surgery may affect the appearance of your implants. Heavy smokers and patients with health conditions that increase the risk of side effects during or after surgery may not be the best candidates for this operation.

A breast lift, known as mastopexy, raises and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. It can also help in cases where the areola becomes enlarged over time or where a patient may have lost a significant amount of breast volume. In such cases, breast implants in conjunction with a breast lift can achieve breast enlargement at the same time as the shape and position of the breasts are enhanced. Intended results include:
Reasons for Breast Lift Procedure
A woman's breasts often change over time, losing their youthful shape and firmness. These changes and loss of skin elasticity can result from:
Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammaplasty) is a plastic surgery procedure that decreases the size of the breast by removing unwanted fat, glandular tissue, and skin. Women with very large breasts are most likely to request this procedure. However, a less extensive version of breast reduction called "gynecomastia surgery" is becoming increasingly popular among men who have excess breast tissue. Candidate Profile If you're a woman with breasts that are disproportionately large or asymmetrical, you may be a candidate for this surgery. Ideally, you should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the benefits and risks associated with cosmetic surgery. If you’re not at or near your ideal weight, your surgeon may recommend a weight loss program prior to this operation to minimize the amount of fatty tissue that must be surgically removed. Patients who smoke or have a health condition that could increase the risk of surgical side effects may not be the best candidates for this procedure.
What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is enlargement of the breasts in men. It is relatively common, occurring in about one-third of men. About 65 percent of boys develop some degree of breast enlargement during puberty. This is normal and usually goes away by age 18.
The breast tissue is firm in men with gynecomastia. In contrast, the breast tissue is soft in men with fat on their chests, hence looking like enlarged breasts (fatty enlargement of the breasts).

Tummy Tuck
Also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin, and in most cases restores weakened or separated muscles to create a smoother and firmer abdominal profile.
Reasons for a tummy tuck procedure
Many of us strive for a flat and well-toned abdomen through exercise and weight control. But sometimes these methods cannot achieve our goals. Even individuals of otherwise normal body weight and proportion can develop a loose or sagging abdomen that protrudes. The most common causes for this condition include:
The ideal candidates for tummy tuck surgery are patients relatively good physical shape, but who have excess skin or fat in the abdominal area that is resistant to exercise. This includes the laxity of underlying muscles due to pregnancy, which have stretched beyond the point where they can naturally return to their normal location and shape.

Thigh Arms
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that:
Fluctuations in weight, growing older and heredity can cause your upper arms to have a drooping, sagging appearance. This is a condition that cannot be corrected through exercise. Arm lift surgery may be right for you if the underside of your upper arms are sagging or appear loose and full due to excess skin and fat. Who is a good candidate for arm lift surgery? In general, arm lift candidates include:
Thigh Lift
A thigh lift reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin, and in some cases fat, resulting in smoother skin and better-proportioned contours of the thighs and lower body.
Reasons for procedure
If fitness and weight loss efforts have not achieved your goals for a body that is firmer, more youthful looking and more proportionate to your overall body image, a surgical thigh or buttock lift may be right for you. A thigh and buttock lift tightens loose, sagging skin in the buttocks, thighs and hips, and improves the appearance of dimpled skin.
Liposuction + BBL
Liposuction is an elective surgical procedure. It reshapes the body through the removal of excess body fat.
Reasons for Liposuction Procedure
Some common reasons for choosing to have liposuction surgery include:
Blepharoplasty
The term “lower blepharoplasty” includes a collection of surgical techniques that aims to improve the appearance of the lower eyelids. Historically, lower blepharoplasty was a reductive procedure in which skin and/or fat was removed in order to reduce lower eyelid wrinkles, skin redundancy, and fat bulges.
Upper blepharoplasty constitutes the surgical repair or reconstruction of the upper eyelid including management of upper eyelid skin, orbital septum, any underlying ptosis, and excess or deficient preaponeurotic and medial orbital fat.
Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is among the top five most commonly requested cosmetic surgery procedures in Albania. Both men and women typically seek this procedure to combat the signs of aging. A specialized version of this surgery is also popular among Asian Americans in their 20s and 30s who want to create a crease in their upper eyelid.
You may benefit from this procedure if you’re dissatisfied with the appearance of sagging skin or constant puffiness around your eyes. Ideally, you should be in good overall health and have realistic goals for plastic surgery – including understanding that there are risks involved. Smokers or patients who have a medical problem that increases the risk of surgical complications may not be good candidates for this procedure. If you have dry eye or other eye conditions, be sure to tell your surgeon.
Face lift
A face lift is a surgical procedure to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck.
Reasons for procedure
Cosmetic reasons for a face lift include:
The face lift surgery usually involves incisions in front of and behind the ear. The incisions may extend into the scalp. Once the incisions are made, various degrees of undermining of the skin are performed, and the deeper layers of the face are lifted. Muscle tightening as well as liposuction of the neck and jowls may be performed, and excess skin is either removed or repositioned. The results are a reversal of the effects of gravity and tightening of soft tissues of the face to restore a more youthful contour to the face.
Neck lift
A neck lift can tighten muscles and remove excess skin and fatty tissues from the neck area. This procedure is commonly used to restore youthful contours to areas of the neck and along the underside of the jaw line for patients who are beginning to show signs of aging. It may also be requested by younger individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight if their skin doesn’t have enough elasticity to become firm again on its own.
If you are bothered by the appearance of your neck because of drooping skin, deep wrinkles or fatty deposits that don’t respond to weight loss, you may appreciate the effects of neck lift surgery. Ideally, you should be in good health and have realistic expectations about the risks and typical outcomes of this cosmetic surgery. Smokers and individuals with health problems that could increase the potential for complications may not be good candidates for this procedure.
Otoplasty
Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, corrects protruding or disfigured ears. It can also improve the shape, position or proportion of the ear.
Reasons for Otoplasty
Cosmetic ear surgery can correct a birth defect in the ear or an ear that is misshapen due to injury. It can help with a rare condition called macrotia (overly large ears), protruding ears occurring on one or both sides in varying degrees, and dissatisfaction with previous ear surgery.
Rhinoplasty
About two to four hours.
