Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 25913, member: 2262"] Dr. Martin Ajujo, the top plastic surgeon at AJ Plastic Surgery, said that people in Kenya are not just getting plastic surgery to look better anymore. They are also getting it to fix things like cleft palates, scars from burns or accidents, and to rebuild their breasts after having them removed because of cancer. Some women are even having their breasts made smaller so they can live their lives better. Social media, like Instagram, has made it easier for people to talk about plastic surgery. They can show how it has changed their lives. Kenya's plastic surgery business is growing and changing quickly. This is because of new technology, changes in how society thinks, and more people being able to afford it. The business has grown by 22% every year since 2020. This is because people have more money to spend, medical tourism is popular, and people see global beauty standards online. The most popular surgeries are liposuction and body shaping (35%), breast enlargement or reduction (28%), facial rejuvenation (20%), and reconstructive surgery (17%). AJ Plastic Surgery is a clinic in Nairobi that is changing how patients are cared for. It uses new techniques and has world-class experts. The clinic's success comes from following rules set by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Their surgeries cost 30-50% less than in Europe or North America. They use AI apps to help patients recover after surgery. The clinic has surgeons who studied at top schools around the world. They specialize in advanced techniques and use patient records that are kept safe with blockchain technology. AJ Plastic Surgery uses the latest technologies to ensure precise and safe surgeries. Kenya is among the top five countries in Africa for plastic surgery, along with South Africa and Nigeria. The country's medical visa program attracts patients from nearby countries, adding $15 million (Sh1.9 billion) to its budget each year. There are still challenges, like making sure everything is regulated and educating the public. However, AJ Plastic Surgery is working with places like the Kenya Medical Training College to train more people. They also plan to start mobile clinics to help people in rural areas by 2026. Dr. Ajujo talked about popular surgeries that use technology. These include liposuction with lasers that target fat cells very precisely, implants made with 3D printing to fit each person's body, fillers using nanotechnology, facelifts guided by AI for natural results, and skin grafts made with 3D bioprinting for burn victims and trauma patients.
