St. Luke’s Medical Center’s Aesthetic Surgery
Center now offers its AWSM (Awesome) Good Looks personal
enhancement packages which include nose reshaping, aesthetic
eyelid surgery and breast enhancement procedures.
The acronym AWSM, which stands for aesthetic,
weight and skin management, refers to the awesome look and
feeling patients get after receiving quality care. The heads of
the three centers are Dr. Lonabel Encarnacion for the
Dermatology Center; Dr. René Valerio for the Aesthetic Surgery
Center; and Dr. Luisito Llido for the Obesity and Weight
Management Center.
The nose reshaping package, technically
called rhinoplasty, can involve either the elevation of the
nasal bridge, the trimming of the overhanging skin on the wings
of the nose, or both. For Asians, the insertion of the patient’s
own bone, cartilage or prosthesis is usually done to lift the
nasal bridge.
With the aesthetic eyelid surgery package,
also called blepharoplasty, the eyes can regain its refreshed
look as it takes out the droopiness and bagginess of the upper
and lower eyelids.
The breast enhancement package is done to
improve the shape and size of a woman’s breast. The procedure is
done by the hospital’s aesthetic surgeons whose stringent
qualifications and extensive training guarantee high level of
successes.
These procedures are done on an out-patient
basis, and there is no age limit for the three packages. The
procedures can also be given as gifts through the use of St.
Luke’s health gift certificates.
St. Luke’s Aesthetic Center is located at the 12/F, North
Tower, Cathedral Heights Building Complex. For inquiries, call
723 0101/0301 extension 5207.
