Aesthetic operations that experts warn against

The wish for physical change is often great. So are the risks.

It is generally known that a surgical procedure is always bound up with a certain risk.

In aesthetic medicine, surgical procedures such as breast augmentations, liposuctions, nasal operations, etc. are routine procedures. As a rule these are carried out only by professionally trained plastic surgeons with many years of experience and the risk for patients is very low. There are, however, also beauty operations that the aesthetic surgeons themselves warn against, since they can be extremely dangerous for patients.

Breaking the jaw for the shape of the face

In Asia, above all in South Korea, a small and oval face is considered beautiful. Beauty clinics there advertise operations in which the jaw is broken in order to correspond to this ideal.
In Europe, however, such an operation may be carried out only when there is a clear indication of a misalignment of teeth and jaw and the maxillofacial surgeon or dentist recommends it.

After such an operation there can be not only disturbances of sensation and numbness but also paralysis and chronic pain in the face.

Gaining height

Many people suffer because of their physical height. Leg lengthening promises 1 mm of growth per day. The limbs are broken and a telescopic rod is inserted that is meant to promote the growth of the bone. This method from the USA promises up to 18 cm of growth.

Misalignments, inflammation and restricted movement are only some of the side effects after such a procedure for ‘enlargement’.

I spy with my little eye

A new trend from the USA is the transplantation of various design shapes made of platinum under the cornea.

Doctors warn against such operations, since they can lead to infections of all kinds, such as a fungal infection. 

Innovative operating methods at the Kuzbari Centre 

With us the emphasis is on reputable and sustainable aesthetic medicine. No operations are offered merely because they are currently in fashion. 

A new treatment method is included in the Kuzbari Centre's repertoire of services only once it has been thoroughly examined by our specialists: among other things at international medical congresses and further training, as well as after exchanging views with other international leading lights about their experiences.

When it comes to aesthetic medicine, everything at the Kuzbari Centre has to be perfect:

• the patients healthy, that is to say in good physical and psychological condition
• their wishes and expectations realistic and comprehensible

Only then are they treated by our doctors according to the newest scientific findings and with the highest safety precautions.

‘It is about the health of our patients!
Every operation, however harmless it is often portrayed as being in the media, is a 'real' operation and can be bound up with risks and complications. The choice of doctor always plays an important role in this!" say our experts.
