Cosmetic Plastic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery offers the choice to change, restore or enhance the appearance of your body through highly refined surgical and medical techniques. Skin and underlying tissue are reconstructed to improve and correct a structural defect or to remove a scar, birthmark, or normal evidence of ageing.

CAER offers Cosmetic Surgery for a wide range of procedures.

Margaret Strick has particular skills in the following areas of Cosmetic Surgery:

Caer Aesthetics

Non-surgical facial rejuvenation

facial rejuvenation

Lines and wrinkles develop around the face over time and cause us to look older than we feel. CAER Aesthetics provides the expert medical care to smooth lines and refresh tired skin without surgery.

There is an art to the effective use of injectables. Our experienced Aesthetic doctors are trusted to achieve completely natural results. The effect is radiance – you look refreshed, not obviously injected.

All our procedures can be carried out under local anaesthetic block and can be, consequently, pain free

  • Botox treatment

    Botox treatment is an approved and effective method of safely and temporarily smoothing frowns and furrows.

    Botox treatment is a wrinkle-relaxing injection used to gently erase tell-tale signs of ageing and to restore a more refreshed, relaxed appearance.

  • Dermal Fillers

    Dermal fillers are natural injectable substances which are used to smooth wrinkles and scars, and enhance lips. The effect is instant.

    Using small amounts of filler, facial furrows are minimised, texture is improved and, as a result, your face has a softer, more youthful appearance.

  • Skin Peels

    Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) have been used for thousands of years to make rejuvenating skin products.

    Used in peels, AHAs exfoliate the skins cells reducing unevenness and fine wrinkles and improving skin moisture and tone. The result is refreshed and younger-looking skin.

  • Botox treatment for excessive sweating

    Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating is a troublesome problem that results in awkward social situations for those who have been affected.

    Excessive sweating can affect hands, underarms forehead and feet. All these areas can effectively be treated with Botox.

Reconstructive

Reconstructive Plastic Surgery

The wonder of plastic surgery is the possibility of building skin and tissue to reconstruct damaged areas of the body. The skill of the reconstructive surgeon lies in working at microscopic level with nerves and vessels to restore form and function to damaged bodies.

    Surgery following massive weight loss

    "A life changing three year diet and a 15 stone weight-loss was certainly something to celebrate... Was I happy? In blunt terms No. My decades of overeating had destroyed the elasticity in my skin and I was left with a body that could only be likened to that of a deflated balloon." read more
