• Facelift: a procedure that tightens and lifts the skin on the face and neck to reduce wrinkles and sagging skin.
• Rhinoplasty: a procedure that reshapes the nose to improve its appearance or function.
• Breast augmentation: a procedure that involves the use of implants to increase the size of the breasts.
• Liposuction: a procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body using a suction technique.

• Botox injection: a procedure that uses small injections of a chemical called Botulinum toxin to temporarily paralyze the muscles that cause wrinkles, it's mainly used in the face.

It is important to keep in mind that cosmetic surgery is a serious decision that should not be taken lightly. Patients should do their research and carefully consider the risks and benefits of any procedure before going through with it.
