Plastic Surgery: Overview, Procedure and Benefits

Common Procedures

Precision Meets Artistry

At Liv Hospital, we believe that world-class plastic surgery procedures should not just change how you look; they should enhance how you feel. Our department specializes in advanced, minimally invasive techniques that reduce downtime while maximizing natural beauty. Unlike standard “medical tourism” clinics that rely on speed, we prioritize precision, utilizing ultrasonic tools, 3D modeling, and regenerative stem cells to craft results that stand the test of time.

Rhinoplasty: The Art of “Preservation”

The nose is the anchor of the face. Liv Hospital is a leader in Preservation Rhinoplasty, a modern technique that contrasts with the traditional “reductive” methods that often lead to a “ski-slope” or artificial look.

• Preservation Rhinoplasty: Instead of cutting away the bridge of the nose, surgeons remove cartilage from underneath, allowing the bridge to be lowered naturally while keeping the original structure intact. This preserves your natural lines and breathing function.
• Piezo (Ultrasonic) Rhinoplasty: We use ultrasonic sound waves to sculpt the nasal bone rather than breaking it with hammers and chisels. This results in less bruising, less swelling, and millimeter-level precision.
• Revision Rhinoplasty: We are a reference center for correcting unsuccessful nose surgeries performed elsewhere, using rib cartilage grafts to rebuild structure.

Body Contouring: Sculpting with VASER Technology

Diet and exercise are vital, but they cannot spot-reduce stubborn fat pockets. Our body contouring suite is designed to refine your silhouette using the latest in ultrasound technology.

• VASER Liposuction: Unlike traditional liposuction which can be harsh on tissue, VASER uses ultrasound energy to liquefy fat cells before removal. This allows for High-Definition (Hi-Def) Liposuction, where surgeons can etch out athletic muscle definition (like six-pack abs) while protecting nerves and blood vessels.
• Mommy Makeover: A comprehensive, single-stage surgery designed to restore a woman’s pre-pregnancy body. It typically combines:
  • Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
  • Breast Lift/Augmentation
  • Liposuction
• Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): We focus on the “Safe BBL” technique, injecting fat only into the subcutaneous space (never the muscle) to ensure patient safety while creating a fuller, rounder shape.

Breast Aesthetics: Beyond Standard Implants

Breast surgery at Liv Hospital goes beyond simple augmentation. We utilize Hybrid (Composite) Techniques to create soft, natural-feeling results that mimic real tissue.

• Composite Breast Augmentation: This combines a smaller, high-quality silicone implant (FDA-approved brands like Mentor or Motiva) with Fat Transfer. The fat is layered over the implant to soften the edges, ensuring that the transition is invisible and the cleavage looks completely natural.
• Stem Cell Enriched Breast Lift: For patients who want a modest size increase without implants, we use fat enriched with your own stem cells. These cells improve the survival rate of the transferred fat, offering a permanent, biological enhancement.
• Breast Reduction: Relieving chronic back and neck pain while reshaping the breast for a lighter, more proportionate look.

Facial Rejuvenation: The “Deep Plane” Difference

A facelift shouldn’t look like a “wind tunnel.” Our surgeons specialize in the Deep Plane Facelift, the most advanced technique available today.

• Deep Plane Facelift: Traditional facelifts only tighten the skin. Our surgeons release the ligaments and reposition the muscle layer (SMAS) deep beneath the skin. This restores the natural heart shape of the face without the “pulled” tight look.
• Neck Lift: Often performed with a facelift to sharpen the jawline and remove the “turkey neck” or double chin.
• Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): Removing excess skin and bags from the upper and lower eyelids to refresh tired eyes.

Regenerative Aesthetics: The “Liv Touch”

We integrate our GMP Stem Cell Center into surgical plans to supercharge your results.

• Stem Cell Face Lift: We inject your own stem cells into areas of volume loss (cheeks, temples). These cells don’t just fill; they regenerate the overlying skin, improving texture, glow, and elasticity.

Scar Therapy: Stem cell injections are used post-surgery to minimize incision lines, making them nearly invisible over time.

Male Plastic Surgery

Aesthetic procedures are not just for women. 30% of our international patients are men seeking masculine refinement.

• Gynecomastia Surgery: Removing excess glandular tissue and fat from the male chest for a flatter, more masculine contour.
• Hair Transplantation: Using the FUE or DHI method to restore hairline density with natural-looking results.
• Male Rhinoplasty: Strengthening the nasal profile without feminizing the features.

Mommy Makeover

A “Mommy Makeover” is a combination of procedures tailored to address the physical changes associated with pregnancy and breastfeeding. It typically includes a breast procedure (a lift or augmentation) and an abdominal procedure (a tummy tuck).

This comprehensive approach allows for a single recovery period. It aims to restore the patient’s pre-pregnancy body. Each plan is highly customized to address the mother’s specific concerns.

• Combination of breast and body procedures
• Restoration of pre-pregnancy figure
• Single surgical session and recovery
• Correction of breast deflation and ptosis
• Repair of abdominal muscle separation

Post-Weight Loss Surgery

After massive weight loss, patients are often left with significant amounts of excess, sagging skin. Body-lifting procedures address this by removing excess tissue from the arms, thighs, and torso.

These surgeries are often staged over time to ensure safety. An arm lift (brachioplasty) or thigh lift can dramatically improve comfort and mobility. The goal is to reveal the new body shape hidden beneath the excess skin.

• Circumferential body lift for torso.
• Brachioplasty to remove “bat wings.”
• Medial thigh lift for inner thigh skin.
• Mastopexy for deflated breasts
• Improvement of hygiene and mobility

Facial Implants and Chin Augmentation

Facial balance relies on the structural support of the underlying bone. Facial implants can define a weak chin, jaw, or cheeks. Chin augmentation is often paired with rhinoplasty to balance the profile.

Implants are made from biocompatible materials and come in various shapes and sizes. They provide a permanent solution for structural deficiencies. Alternatively, dermal fillers can offer a temporary preview of the results.

• Enhancement of chin projection
• Definition of the mandibular angle
• Restoration of cheek volume
• Correction of facial asymmetry
• Permanent structural improvement

Otoplasty (Ear Surgery)

Otoplasty is a procedure to correct prominent or protruding ears. It is often performed on children before they start school to prevent social teasing, but adults also frequently seek it. The surgery involves reshaping the cartilage to “pin” the ears closer to the head.

It can also address ear asymmetries or birth deformities. The incision is typically hidden behind the ear, leaving no visible scars. The result is a natural appearance that balances the face.

• Setback of protruding ears
• Creation of the antihelical fold
• Reduction of large earlobes
• Correction of ear asymmetry
• Repair of torn or stretched earlobes

Minimally Invasive Injectables

Injectable treatments are the cornerstone of non-surgical aesthetics. Neuromodulators like Botox relax the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. Dermal fillers restore lost volume and fill in static lines.

These treatments offer immediate results with minimal downtime. They can be used to plump lips, define cheeks, and smooth the forehead. They are often used as maintenance strategies between surgical procedures.

• Relaxation of frown lines and crow’s feet
• Volumizing of lips and cheeks
• Filling of nasolabial folds
• Non-surgical rhinoplasty
• Jawline contouring with fillers.

Laser and Energy Treatments

Energy-based devices use lasers, radiofrequency, or ultrasound to rejuvenate the skin. They work by stimulating collagen production and resurfacing the skin’s outer layer. This improves texture, tone, and tightness.

These treatments can address sun damage, age spots, and acne scarring. They are often used in a series to achieve cumulative results. The technology allows for precise targeting of specific skin concerns.

• Fractional laser resurfacing
• Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) for pigment
• Radiofrequency skin tightening
• Ultrasound lifting therapies
• Treatment of vascular lesions

Consultation and Preparation

Designing Your Transformation

A successful aesthetic outcome is never an accident; it is the result of meticulous planning. At Liv Hospital, we believe that the plastic surgery consultation is the most critical phase of your journey. This is where your desires meet our medical expertise to create a blueprint for your new look.

For our international patients, this process begins long before you board a plane to Turkey. Through high-definition virtual consultations and advanced digital imaging, we ensure that you and your surgeon are perfectly aligned on the goals, risks, and logistics of your procedure.

The Virtual Consultation: Your First Step

We understand that flying across the world for surgery requires immense trust. Our Remote Assessment Protocol is designed to provide you with a clear surgical plan and a fixed price quote from the comfort of your home.

How the process works:

Photo Submission: You will be asked to submit clear, high-resolution photos of the treatment area from specific angles (front, side, 45-degree angle). Privacy is guaranteed; these images are stored on our HIPAA-compliant encrypted server.
Surgeon Review: Unlike agencies that use salespeople, at Liv Hospital, an actual Plastic Surgeon reviews your case to determine candidacy.
Video Call & Simulation: You will have a video consultation where we can screen-share. Using VECTRA 3D software, we can sometimes upload your photos to simulate potential results, showing you a “before and after” preview before you even book your ticket.

Medical Clearance: Safety is Non-Negotiable

Plastic surgery is real surgery. To ensure your safety, Liv Hospital adheres to strict JCI (Joint Commission International) anesthesia standards. We do not operate on high-risk patients without full medical optimization.

The “Pre-Op” Checklist includes:

• Blood Panels: Complete blood count (CBC), coagulation tests (PT/INR), and viral markers.
• Anesthesia Review: If you have asthma, diabetes, or high blood pressure, our Anesthesiology team will review your history to ensure you are “Class A” fit for surgery.
• Specialized Screening:
  • Breast Surgery: Mammogram or Ultrasound for patients over 40.
  • Rhinoplasty: CT Scan of paranasal sinuses if you have breathing issues.
  • Tummy Tuck: Abdominal ultrasound to check for hernias.

The 2-Week Rule: Preparing Your Body

To minimize the risk of complications like bleeding or poor wound healing, you must adhere to a strict pre-operative protocol for 14 days before surgery.

• STOP SMOKING: This is critical. Nicotine constricts blood vessels, cutting off oxygen to the skin. In procedures like facelifts or tummy tucks, smoking can cause skin death (necrosis). We reserve the right to cancel surgery if a patient tests positive for nicotine.
• Avoid Blood Thinners: Stop taking Aspirin, Ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin), Vitamin E, Fish Oil, and herbal supplements (Gingko, Ginseng), as these increase bleeding and bruising.
• Nutrition: Increase your protein intake. Your body needs extra building blocks to repair the incisions.
• Hydration: Drink plenty of water. Hydrated tissue heals faster and handles anesthesia better.

Mental Preparation: Setting Realistic Expectations

Plastic surgery is an emotional journey. We encourage patients to prepare psychologically for the “recovery rollercoaster.”

• The “Post-Op Blues”: It is normal to feel emotional or regretful 2–3 days after surgery due to anesthesia, swelling, and temporary discomfort. Knowing this is normal helps you get through it.
• Patience with Swelling: You will not look like your final result immediately. A rhinoplasty can take a year to fully settle; a tummy tuck takes months for swelling to vanish. Trust the process.
• Support System: Even though our nurses are with you 24/7, having a friend or family member travel with you provides emotional comfort.

Packing for Your Medical Trip

Your comfort depends on what you bring. We recommend packing specifically for your surgery type:

• Clothing: Bring loose, comfortable pajamas and button-down shirts. You should not lift your arms over your head after breast or nose surgery.
• Footwear: Slip-on shoes are essential, as you may not be able to bend over to tie laces after a tummy tuck or liposuction.
• Entertainment: Recovery involves a lot of resting. Bring an iPad, books, or headphones.
• Toiletries: Dry shampoo and face wipes are lifesavers when you cannot shower for the first 48 hours.

The Arrival Experience at Liv Hospital

From the moment you land in Istanbul, our International Patient Center takes over. You are not just a patient; you are our guest.

1. VIP Transfer: Our private driver meets you at the airport and takes you to your hotel or the hospital.
2. In-Person Finalization: The day before surgery, you will meet your surgeon face-to-face. This is the time for the “final touch” planning. We will redo the markings on your skin, review the 3D simulation one last time, and sign the consent forms.
3. Payment and Administration: All financial and administrative details are handled smoothly by your personal coordinator in your native language.

Surgery and Recovery

Your Journey to the New You

The day of surgery is the bridge between planning and reality. At Liv Hospital, we have engineered every step of the plastic surgery recovery process to be as safe, comfortable, and efficient as possible. Unlike standalone “boutique clinics” often seen in medical tourism, your procedure takes place in a fully accredited, JCI-standard university hospital. This means you have the backup of a full intensive care unit, advanced sterilization systems, and a multidisciplinary medical team watching over you 24/7.

The Surgical Experience

For international patients, understanding the environment is critical. In Turkey, surgeries can be performed in small private clinics or full-service hospitals. At Liv Hospital, we strictly adhere to Hospital-Grade Safety Protocols:

Hospital Safety vs. Clinic Risk

• HEPA-Filtered Operating Rooms: Our surgical suites utilize laminar flow airflow systems that filter out 99.9% of airborne particles, drastically reducing the risk of infection.
• General Anesthesia Safety: You are monitored by a specialist Anesthesiologist—not a technician—throughout the entire procedure. We use modern, short-acting anesthetic agents that reduce the “grogginess” and nausea often felt after waking up.
• Emergency Readiness: While complications are extremely rare, being in a full-service hospital means we have immediate access to cardiology, internal medicine, and intensive care if ever needed.

Waking Up: The “Soft Landing” Approach

We believe the first hour after surgery sets the tone for your entire recovery. Our anesthesia team utilizes a Multimodal Pain Management protocol designed to stop pain before it starts.

• Nerve Blocks: For procedures like tummy tucks or breast augmentation, surgeons often inject long-acting local anesthetic into the surgical site. This means you wake up numb in the operated area, giving you a painless head start of 6–12 hours.
• Nausea Prevention: We administer prophylactic anti-nausea medication intravenously during surgery, so you wake up hungry, not sick.
• The “Bear Hugger”: To prevent shivering (a common side effect of anesthesia), you are wrapped in a warm air blanket immediately after surgery.

Immediate Post-Op: The “Liv Touch” Technologies

Swelling and bruising are the enemies of a fast recovery. We attack them immediately using advanced technology that many standard clinics do not offer.

1. Hilotherapy® Cooling Masks

Forget messy ice packs that melt and cause freeze burns. Liv Hospital utilizes Hilotherapy, a precision medical cooling system.

• How it works: You will wear a specialized mask (shaped for the face, eyes, or jaw) connected to a device that circulates water at a constant, therapeutic temperature (typically 15°C).
• The Benefit: This constant cooling significantly reduces facial swelling, bruising, and pain without the damage caused by extreme freezing. It is standard for our Rhinoplasty and Facelift patients.

2. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

Fluid retention (edema) is normal after liposuction or body contouring. To speed up the drainage, our specialized physiotherapists begin Manual Lymphatic Drainage massages often as early as Day 2.

• The Benefit: This gentle, rhythmic massage encourages the trapped fluid to move into your lymph nodes, reducing the “hard” feeling under the skin and preventing fibrosis (lumpiness).

Managing Pain and Comfort

“Will it hurt?” is the top concern. While some discomfort is expected, “suffering” is not.

• The Pain Pump (PCA): For major surgeries like a Body Lift, you may be given a Patient-Controlled Analgesia pump for the first night, allowing you to self-administer small, safe doses of pain relief with the press of a button.
• Waist-Level Living: Your private room is designed for post-op mobility. Everything you need is at waist height so you don’t have to bend (painful for tummy tucks) or reach up (painful for breast ops).
• Compression Garments: You will wake up wearing a medical-grade corset or bra. This isn’t just for shaping; the pressure actively stops bleeding and supports your healing muscles.

The Recovery Timeline: Day by Day

Knowing what to expect reduces anxiety. Here is a typical timeline for our international guests:

• Day 0 (Surgery Day): You stay in the hospital. Focus on rest, hydration, and using the Hilotherapy mask. Nurses check your vitals every hour.
• Day 1: The most important day for movement. A nurse will help you sit up and take your first steps. This is vital to prevent blood clots. Drains (if used) are checked.
• Day 2 (Discharge): Most patients (except major body contouring cases) are discharged to their hotel. You will be given a “Goody Bag” containing your antibiotics, painkillers, and specific wound care instructions.
• Day 3-5: “Hotel Recovery.” You relax, order room service, and explore Istanbul gently if you feel up to it. Our team remains in contact via WhatsApp.
• Day 6-7 (Final Check): You return to the hospital. The surgeon removes splints (for nose), checks incisions, and removes drains.
• Day 8: Fit to Fly. You are cleared to travel home with a “Medical Flight Certificate.”

Hygiene and Wound Care

Showering is usually permitted 24 to 48 hours after surgery, depending on the procedure. Water should flow gently over the incisions; scrubbing is forbidden.

Incisions may be covered with steri-strips or surgical glue. These eventually peel off on their own. Keeping the area clean prevents infection.

Baths, swimming pools, and hot tubs are off-limits until the incisions are fully closed to avoid bacterial contamination.

• Gentle showering after clearance
• No scrubbing of surgical sites
• Patting incisions dry with a clean towel
• No soaking in baths or pools
• Application of antibiotic ointment if prescribed

Dealing with Swelling and Bruising

Swelling and bruising are expected aftereffects of surgery. They typically peak around day 3 or 4 and then gradually subside. Gravity causes swelling to move downward; facial surgery may lead to bruising of the neck.

Arnica Montana and Bromelain are natural supplements often recommended to speed up the resolution of bruising. Keeping the surgical area elevated is the most effective way to combat swelling.

• Expectation of peak swelling at day 3-4
• Use of Arnica or Bromelain supplements
• Elevation of the surgical site
• Patience with asymmetry during healing
• Avoidance of salty foods that retain water

Emotional Rollercoaster

Recovery is not just physical; it is emotional. It is common to feel the “post-op blues” a few days after surgery. Swelling, discomfort, and cabin fever contribute to this.

Patients may temporarily regret surgery when they see the initial bruising. This is a normal phase. Trusting the process and knowing that the results will emerge is key.

• Normalization of “post-op blues.”
• Managing expectations of appearance
• Seeking support from friends and family
• Focusing on the long-term goal
• Avoiding mirror obsessing during early healing

Follow-Up Visits

The first post-op appointment usually happens within a week. The surgeon checks the incisions, removes drains if ready, and ensures healing is on track.

Sutures may be removed at this time or in the following week. These visits are crucial for catching any complications early.

Photographs are often taken to document the progress. It is an opportunity to ask about increasing activity levels.

• Incision check and drain removal
• Suture removal if non-absorbable
• Assessment of healing progress
• Clearance for driving and work
• Updating the recovery plan

Complication Awareness

While rare, complications can occur. Signs of infection include fever, increasing redness, and foul-smelling drainage. A hematoma involves a collection of blood that causes sudden, painful swelling.

Skin necrosis is the loss of tissue due to poor blood supply. Identifying these issues early allows for prompt intervention. A vado plastic surgery resource or clinic hotline should be available for urgent questions.

• Fever over 101.5°F
• Increasing redness or heat at the incision
• Suddenly, severe swelling or pain
• Foul-smelling or purulent drainage
• Leg swelling or chest pain (clot signs)

The Long Haul

Full recovery takes time. While patients look presentable in a few weeks, deep tissue healing takes months. Scars take a full year to mature and fade.

Nerves may take time to regenerate, leading to temporary numbness or tingling. Residual swelling can fluctuate with diet and activity for up to six months.

Patience is the most important tool in the recovery kit. The final result is worth the wait.

• Scar maturation takes up to a year.
• Resolution of residual swelling
• Return of sensation to numb areas
• Settling of implants into position
• Final assessment of results

Maintenance and Results

Enjoying Your New Look Forever

Plastic surgery is a significant emotional and financial investment in yourself. While our surgeons craft the change, maintaining that change is a lifelong partnership between you and your lifestyle. Plastic surgery results are rarely “permanent” in the sense that they stop time; aging continues, and gravity never sleeps. However, with the right care strategy, the benefits of a facelift, tummy tuck, or breast lift can last for decades.

At Liv Hospital, we provide our international patients with a “Long-Term Aesthetics Plan.” This guide ensures that the confidence you feel leaving our hospital is the same confidence you feel looking in the mirror ten years later.

When Will I See the Final Result?

One of the hardest parts of recovery is patience. It is crucial to distinguish between “healed” and “final.”

• The “Socially Presentable” Phase (2–3 Weeks): Bruising has faded, and incisions have closed. You can go to dinner or return to work with makeup, but you are still swollen.
• The “Settling” Phase (3–6 Months): About 80% of the swelling has resolved. This is when breast implants “drop and fluff” into their natural pocket, and the waistline from a tummy tuck becomes defined.
• The “Final Result” (1 Year+): This is the true outcome. For Rhinoplasty specifically, the tip of the nose may retain subtle swelling for up to 12–18 months. We advise patients not to judge their final nose until this milestone is reached.

The Art of Scar Management

Scarring is an inevitable part of surgery, but a visible scar is not. Liv Hospital employs a multi-tiered “Scar Protocol” to ensure incision lines fade into near-invisibility.

Our 3-Step Protocol:

1. Silicone Therapy (Months 1–3): We provide medical-grade silicone sheets or gels. Silicone creates a micro-environment that hydrates the scar and regulates collagen production, preventing raised (keloid) scars.
2. Laser Resurfacing (Month 6): If a scar remains red or textured, we invite patients to return (or visit a local provider) for Fractional Laser treatment, which breaks down the scar tissue and blends it with the surrounding skin.
3. Stem Cell Injection: For difficult scars, injection of the patient’s own stem cells can regenerate healthy skin tissue within the scar line.

Protecting Your Investment: Lifestyle Matters

Plastic surgery can contour the body, but it cannot fix metabolism. To maintain your results, stability is key.

• Weight Fluctuations: A Tummy Tuck or Liposuction removes fat cells permanently from specific areas. However, if you gain significant weight (10kg+), the remaining fat cells will expand, potentially creating “lumpy” or disproportionate areas. We recommend being at a stable goal weight for 6 months before surgery and maintaining it after.
• Sun Protection: The sun is the enemy of a Facelift. UV rays break down collagen and elastin, reversing the tightening effects of surgery. Daily SPF 50 is non-negotiable.
• Nicotine: Smoking after a Facelift or Breast Lift will accelerate skin aging and sagging, undoing the surgeon’s work much faster than normal.

Non-Surgical Maintenance

Surgery sets the foundation; non-surgical treatments maintain the house. We recommend a “maintenance schedule” to prolong surgical results.

• Botox & Fillers: Using Botox prevents the dynamic wrinkles (like frown lines) from re-etching themselves into the skin after a facelift.
• Skin Quality Boosters: Surgery tightens loose skin, but it doesn’t fix texture or pores. Treatments like Mesotherapy or Salmon DNA injections keep the skin “canvas” glowing and hydrated.
• Breast Implant Monitoring: While modern silicone implants are designed to last a lifetime, we recommend an MRI or Ultrasound check-up every 5–10 years to ensure shell integrity.

Remote Monitoring: We Are Still With You

Distance does not dissolve our responsibility. Liv Hospital’s International Patient Tracking System ensures you are never managing your recovery alone.

• Photo Check-Ins: You will be asked to upload photos to our secure portal at specific intervals (1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year). Your surgeon reviews these to track healing and symmetry.
• Video Consultations: If you have a concern—for example, if one breast looks higher than the other at month 3—we schedule a video call. Often, this is just normal asymmetric healing, and reassurance from your surgeon saves you a panic.
• Local Partners: If a physical intervention is needed (e.g., draining a small fluid collection), we can often coordinate with partner physicians in major US or European cities, or guide your local GP.

Our Revision Policy: Your Peace of Mind

Fear of a “botched” result is the #1 barrier to medical tourism. Liv Hospital stands behind its work with a transparent Revision Policy.

While we cannot guarantee subjective happiness (e.g., “I wish I chose a bigger implant”), we do guarantee surgical quality.

• Corrective Surgery: In the rare event of a surgical complication (like an implant malposition or asymmetry beyond normal limits) occurring within the first year, Liv Hospital covers the surgeon’s fees and hospital costs for the corrective procedure.
• Transparency: This policy is explained in detail and signed during your consultation, so you know exactly what is covered before you fly.

A facelift typically turns back the clock by about 10 years. As you age, you will always look younger than you would have without the surgery, with results generally lasting 10 to 15 years.

The fat cells removed during liposuction are gone permanently, but if you gain significant weight, the remaining fat cells in other areas of your body can expand, altering your proportions.

Many women can breastfeed after breast reduction surgery. Still, because some milk ducts may be removed or damaged, there is a possibility of reduced milk supply, so it is not guaranteed.

No scar disappears completely, but with proper care and time, they typically fade to a thin, pale line that is difficult to see; their visibility depends largely on genetics and surgical technique.

Yes, it is safe to have multiple procedures over a lifetime as long as you are in good general health and allow adequate recovery time between surgeries to let your body heal fully.
