Cosmetic plastic surgery includes surgical procedures that revitalize and restore areas of the human body, most often affected by the human aging process. These procedures enhance appearance, but also self-confidence.

Reconstructive plastic surgery is where knowledge and artistry truly meet. These procedures are technically difficult, but allows me to improve and evolve my cosmetic surgery techniques. The final goal is to restore as close as possible to normal.
Having taken great strides in breaking barriers in her own career, Dr Gloria Tshukudu continues to drive her field into the future, by offering innovative, compassionate care to those who need it most.
In 2013, she became the first black woman to qualify as a plastic and reconstructive surgeon in South Africa, and today, she is a sessional plastic surgeon at Mediclinic Muelmed in Pretoria and Mediclinic Legae in Mabopane.
Dr Tshukudu explains she treats many cancer survivors who need reconstructive surgery to repair the effects of having had their tumours removed, and trauma victims who have been mutilated in an accident. In these cases, reconstructive microsurgery offers surgeons an opportunity to work within tiny areas with fine precision.
Reconstructing missing tissue is about a lot more than simply finding new tissue to replace it, says Dr Tshukudu: it means transferring a piece of tissue to the site, and then delicately reconnecting severed nerves and blood vessels without damaging them. Unless surgeons are able to reconnect these nerve endings and restore blood supply successfully, the new tissue will have no chance of surviving.
Surgeons will utilise specific operating microscopes and other precise instruments to repair tiny and intricate blood vessels and nerves, some of which are less than a few millimeters in diameter. They can also use this technique to transplant large sections of tissue, muscle or bone from one part of the body to another.

During a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen. Connective tissue in the abdomen (fascia) usually is tightened with sutures as well. The remaining skin is then repositioned to create a more toned look.
A tummy tuck can remove loose, excess skin and fat, and tighten weak fascia. A tummy tuck may also remove stretch marks and excess skin in the lower abdomen below the bellybutton. However, a tummy tuck won't correct stretch marks outside of this area.
A tummy tuck can also be done in combination with other body contouring cosmetic procedures, such as breast surgery. If you've had fat removed from your abdomen (liposuction), you may decide to have a tummy tuck because liposuction removes tissue just under the skin and fat but not any excess skin.
Review your medical history. Be prepared to answer questions about current and past medical conditions. Talk about any medications you're taking or have taken recently, as well as any surgeries you've had.
There are a number of different procedures for a tummy tuck, depending on your goals and the extent of change you would like to see. During the typical tummy tuck, your plastic surgeon makes incisions to remove most of the skin and fat between your bellybutton and pubic hair in a horizontal oval or elliptical shape. Connective tissue (fascia) that lies over the abdominal muscles is then tightened with permanent sutures.
The amount of excess skin removed and the type of procedure you have will determine the shape and length of the incision. The incision above the pubic hair will be stitched together and will leave a scar that falls along the natural crease within the bikini line.
Drains might be left in place for several days after surgery. Your doctor or another member of your health care team will show you how to empty and care for your drains. You might need to continue taking an antibiotic as long as the drains are in place.
You'll wear a supportive abdominal garment (abdominal binder) for about six weeks after your tummy tuck. This helps prevent fluid buildup and provides abdominal support while you heal. Your doctor will explain how to care for your scar.
