Breast lifting Surgery Mauritius, Breast Reduction Surgery Mauritius

Since the first of February 1991, I have been employed by the Ministry of Health as a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon with the biggest hospital in Mauritius, with 625 beds, where I am in charge of both the Burns Unit and the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department.

The Burns Unit consists of both a female and male ward, with a 25-bed capacity each and 5 Beds in Intensive Care Unit Burns. The Plastic Surgery Department shares the beds of two male and two female wards with the Orthopaedic Department.

There was also a constant increase in the number of plastic surgery cases treated by me during the past thirty years, and some of the pathologies treated by me, are the following:

Hand surgery such as tendons, nerves, blood vessels repairs, fractures as well as amputations, degloving injuries
Polytraumas with extensive tissue loss
Breast surgery
Post-burn reconstructive surgery such as contractures, keloids, etc
Cervico-facial surgery, excisions of tumours and reconstructive surgery
Orbital surgery after facial trauma
Skin tumours, such as melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, etc
Microsurgery
Reconstructive surgeries by flaps and tissue-expanders
Cranio-facial surgery
Congenital malformations like hypospadias

During the past twenty years, I have been improving substantially the surgical care and medical treatment at the Burns Unit and consequently, I have been able to bring down the mortality rate over the successive years, although, there has been a constant rise in the number of admissions at the same time.

Furthermore, I am involved in:

Teaching sessions for young doctors, nursing staff, nursing students, Red Cross, other governmental and non-governmental organisations
Setting-up of a high-standard Maxillo cranio-facial head & neck surgery unit in Mauritius
Seminars and conferences
Regular talks on the local radio and television stations
Exchange of opinions and techniques with visiting professors

Since 1993, I have been appointed as Advisor to the Ministry of Health. I have been in charge of the planning and surveillance of the construction of a new Burns Unit at the Victoria Hospital, comprising a five bed ICU, specialised reanimation rooms, operation theatre, recovery room, sterilising unit, etc.

Breast Augmentation can naturally restore your shape and make you feel confident about your body. Breast Augmentation is a cosmetic operation that changes a women’s appearance and look of the breast. Breast Augmentation is a surgical procedure in which the size, shape and contour of a person’s breast is changed using breast implants, with a natural or shaped implant in a subpectoral pocket. A breast augmentation is often performed as part of a mummy makeover. If there is one decision which will fundamentally determine whether you are happy with your breast augmentation, it is the size implants you choose to have inserted.

An expertly performed breast augmentation can transform the way others see your body and the way you see yourself. A breast augmentation can:
- Increase fullness and projection of your breasts
- Improve the balance of your figure
- Enhance your self-image and self-confidence
- Even out proportions of the breasts

Breast Reduction Surgery | Mauritius Plastic Surgeon

What is a Breast Reduction?
A breast reduction procedure (or Mammoplasty), is a procedure that can improve the shape, appearance, and size of heavy breasts. The area treated is the breast, and can also improve skin ptosis. The aim of breast reduction is to relieve the weight of large, heavy breasts and improve physical discomfort, skin chaffing, and indentations in the skin.

What are the Benefits of a Breast Reduction Procedure?
- Reduce back, neck and shoulder pain
- Improve the position, shape and appearance of the breast mound and areola nipple complex
- Reduce breast volume (weight and size)
- Reshape and reposition the breasts and nipples

Reduction Mammoplasty, wider known as Breast Reduction Surgery, is a surgery which revolves around reducing the size of overly large breasts. It is recommended for patients who wish to achieve a more proportionate size of breasts. Breast Reduction Surgery is performed by removing excess glandular tissue, skin and breast fat. The aim of Breast Reduction Surgery is to allow women with overly large breasts to overcome the restrictions associated with movement, physical pain or social discomfort, caused by excess breast tissue.

Reduction Mammoplasty is a way to:
- Improve the proportions, allowing for an attractive silhouette
- Relieve women from the pain associated with overly heavy breasts
- Resize or reposition nipples to be more in line with the overall breast shape
- Even up breast symmetry

About the Breast Reduction Surgery

How long is the breast reduction surgical procedure?
It takes between 2 to 4 hours and is performed under general anaesthesia

How is the anaesthesia administered?
Through Medications and General Anaesthesia

Breast Reduction Surgery allows you not only to reduce the size and weight of your breasts but also to reposition the nipples to be more in line with the overall shape of your breasts.
