Plastic Surgery – it is a very broad industry that affects all aspects of human life. It restores beauty to cancer survivors, as well as those who have experienced massive weight loss as a result of bariatric disease.
Plastic surgeon, MD, Professor of Tbilisi State University Iva Kuzanov told the readers of estet-portal.com about the most important nuances of reconstructive and post-bariatric interventions, as well as what surgical interventions should be avoided.
What role does microsurgery play in the practice of a plastic surgeon?
I.K.: Microsurgery is of particular importance for rhinoplasty, since only the most reliable and delicate instruments must be used for this operation. This also applies to facelift, during which you need to clearly know how much tissue can be dissected, and in what place it is best to do so as not to damage the nerves or blood vessels.
Microsurgery is of great importance for the treatment of cancer patients.
We work with patients after radical surgery quite often. We carry out restoration after oncologists remove the entire nose, esophagus, or lower jaw. During such complex surgical interventions, microsurgery allows for high-quality reconstruction, and plastic surgery – restore beauty to a person.

What operations have you encountered more often lately?
I.К.: Lately, all over the world, including Georgia, the problem of excess weight and bariatric surgery has become a topical issue. After any such operation, the patient always requires additional intervention by a plastic surgeon.
The person loses excess weight, however, their skin sags, becoming unable to recover. Therefore, for such patients, we perform the removal of excess tissue, we do a tightening of the abdomen, hips, breasts, etc., so that they can feel beautiful again.
Diet or liposuction? Opportunities for the treatment of obesity
These surgeries are extremely psychologically important and allow people who were previously obese to return to normal life more quickly.
What are your thoughts on shaping with hyaluronic acid?
I.K.: I personally have not had experience with hyaluronic acid fillers, however, in practice I have had to deal with the use of slightly different fillers. I began to receive patients who were injected with Vaseline to increase their breasts and buttocks.
Naturally, such a procedure had dire consequences. Three years after it, a terrible inflammatory process developed, her breasts swelled, the woman constantly experienced pain and discomfort.
In order to eliminate such side effects, it is necessary to remove the entire breast, since Vaseline penetrates into all tissues.
Patients should remember that they can only receive quality services in official medical institutions.
Of course, this procedure was not carried out in a clinic, but in an underground office. After such cases, I ask patients to be careful and use the services of certified medical institutions only.
