Cosmetic surgery and treatments available in Mauritius

The Department of Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery at Apollo Bramwell Hospital, Mauritius specialises in the following procedures:

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a common procedure whose aim is to improve the shape of the nose. Hump, broad nose and flat nose can be corrected.

Reduction of the male breast 

Breast enlargement in male adolescent can be a source of social embarrassment and can be treated by removing the excess breast and fat tissue. It leaves no visible scars.

Eyelid surgery

Also called blepharoplasty, this procedure treats droopy eyelids, loose skin and fat bags beneath the skin. In addition, fat can be injected to correct hollows underneath the lower lids for a fresher and more rejuvenated look. This procedure is done under local anaesthesia and does not require hospitalization. Recovery takes a week and scars are not noticeable.

Neck lift 

Loose skin of the neck, with loss of youthful contour (‘turkey wattle’), can be corrected by adjusting muscle position in the neck, liposuction and removal of excess skin.

Face lift

Face lift makes use of various techniques to create a smoother and more youthful face. Through incisions around the ear, a surgeon removes excess skin and manipulates deeper layers of tissue to tighten the face. Fat injection is used at the same time to restore volume to the face.

Dermabrasion

This procedure removes acne scars over the face. Two or three sessions may be required. To prevent or predict problems with pigmentation after surgery, a test patch is one behind the ear prior to the operation.

Arm lift

Keeping the triceps muscle toned is a challenge as we age, especially for women. Extra skin and fat may dangle from the upper arms. This can be corrected by a brachioplasty which tightens the under portion of the arm between the elbow and the armpit. This procedure will leave a permanent scar on the inner side of the arm.

Liposuction

Liposuction is the most common cosmetic surgery. Using a suction device, bulges of fat from the tummy, thighs, hips and the buttocks are removed. The result is a smoother contour to the treated area. Liposuction works best on patients of average or slightly average weight. Risks are minimal, though infection and temporary skin discolouration can happen.

Tummy tuck

Unlike liposuction, a tummy tuck is a major surgery. Also called Abdominoplasty, the surgery gets rid of excess fat and tightens muscles in the abdominal wall. It leaves a permanent scar. This operation is not recommended for overweight patients or for those planning a future pregnancy.

Breast implants

Breast augmentation is a common procedure. Enlargement is done with silicone gel or saline-filled implants via an incision in the lower breast fold, areola or armpit. The procedure is minimally invasive and has relatively few risks.

Breast reduction

Heavy breasts can cause neck and back pain, in addition to being a source of social embarrassment. Skin and breast tissue are surgically removed to create the desired breast size. Risks include change in sensation over the nipple and difficulty in breast feeding.

Breast reconstruction

Breast reconstruction after removal of the breast due to cancer can be done by using the tissues of the lower stomach skin and fat or the skin and muscle of the back to create a breast mound. Continued cancer surveillance is done by the oncologist.

Cleft lip and palate repair

Cleft lip is a birth defect. A cleft lip may be just a small notch in the lip. It may also be a complete split in the lip that goes all the way to the base of the nose. A cleft palate can be on one or both sides of the roof of the mouth. It may go the full length of the palate. Children may have one or both of these conditions at birth.

Cleft lip and cleft palate repair is a surgical procedure to fix the upper lip and palate (roof of the mouth). The lip repair is done at three months of age provided the child is well nourished and healthy. The palate is repaired at around 10 to 11 months to give the best chances for good speech to develop. At birth, parents are reassured of the future of their babies and emphasis is placed on the importance of feeding and bonding with the infant. As well, they are advised on the need for regular paediatrician follow-ups.

Secondary correction of cleft lip deformity

Sometimes minor or major scars and other deformities persist in the lip and the nose after primary cleft lip surgery early in life. In a cosmetically-conscious culture, these can be very disturbing to the patient. A revision procedure can minimize the scars or deformities.
