Augmentation surgery and breast reduction are some of the cosmetic procedures that have the highest levels of satisfaction in patients. To achieve this, it is important that the plastic surgeon will be able to decide from the preoperative implant options in size, shape and site (submuscular or subglandular) that suits the patient.

In the pre-surgery breast augmentation consultation it is shown by placing testers under the clothes, the approximate result that will get the person with the implant. This displays the new size of the breast to check that make harmony with your body shape, lifestyle and expectations.

The prosthesis can be placed through various techniques; incision around the areola, through an incision at the armpit or the inframammary crease. Regardless of what might be the choice, the scar won't exceed four centimeters. There are two sites to locate the silicone implant, muscle tissue below or above this, leaving covered by breast glandular tissue. The choice depends on the characteristics of your breasts.

Anesthesia:

The breast augmentation surgery is done under regional or general anesthesia in most cases, depending on patient’s condition, taking less than two hours duration. The patient can return to work activities by the third day following the recommendations given by the doctor.

One of the most frequently asked questions by patients is how to improve their gluteal region, this is one of the most concurrent areas which most undergoes surgery. Buttock augmentation can be achieved by placing silicone implants designed specifically for this area or by injecting fat obtained in a previous liposuction procedure. Both procedures are safe and have excellent results, and risks injected which by ignorance of its components can bring in the patient adverse reactions in the future products are avoided, which does not happen with buttock augmentation with implants or fat injection. The procedures we do offer higher volume and better shape your buttocks, corrects sagging and cellulite, besides reducing the fat accumulated in adjacent areas. Finally, the result is a buttocks that look natural and attractive.

Autologous Fat Transfer is recommended primarily for patients which is possible to extract sufficient amount of fatty tissue in a liposuction procedure to inject into the buttocks, which is the key to the success of the surgery and what it can offer a clear result and durable. It should be noted that in some patients is not enough fat, so the solution is to place gluteal silicone prosthesis. According to the characteristics of the prosthesis chosen, very natural results are obtained without producing an artificial aspect of this area to calm the patient, because we know that is one of the concerns most manifest before this surgery. Surgical treatment of the buttocks is complemented by postoperative therapy in the clinic, where supported by the best technology, we give you the desired shape and tone for this area.

The facelift is a surgical procedure that involves making a stretch or "lifting" of the middle and lower thirds of the face, lifting flabby soft tissues and fallen (skin, fat, SMAS, muscles) and taking them to a higher position, further decreasing the stiffness or wrinkling.

It is indicated in patients by genetic predisposition, familial, racial, by sun exposure or age, they have changes in their appearance that makes them look older, with sagging and drooping of the tissues of the face, besides accentuating wrinkles and furrows. There is no age to realize it and may be even from forty onwards.

Facelift can be performed through different techniques, in which incisions are made in front of and behind the er, or just ahead, including endoscopic, releasing tissue as needed, fractionating and lifting the fallen dotted fabrics fixation, and excising excess skin while improving partially wrinkles and furrows. Usually it combined with neck surgery, eyelids and/or forehead.

This procedure takes about three to five hours, depending on the technique.

Anesthesia

It is performed under general anesthesia in most cases, and sometimes controlled locally. It is an outpatient procedure in most cases unless there before or after patient conditions warranting hospitalization.

Otoplasty

Otoplasty is the surgical procedure that treats the shape, size and position of the ears taking them to suitable aesthetic conditions.

It is indicated in patients older than 6 years with changes in the shape, position and size of the ears, for genetic causes in most cases, known as ears on the screen, at the expense of poor definition of anti helix, big shell, position lobe, or a mixture of two or three of these characteristics. Other alterations are known as cryptotia.

It’s advisable to make the surgery on children before starting the primary to prevent bullying. The otoplasty is performed, depending on the case or the surgeon's preference, by various techniques, mostly with boarding behind the ear, resecting cartilage, placing points and/or weakening the cartilage.

Anesthesia

This procedure lasts approximately one hour per ear. It is performed under local anesthesia in most cases, or general depending on the type of patient and choice. It is ambulatory.

Cosmetic procedures depend on a pre-surgical plan to ensure a successful outcome. In the case of rhinoplasty, it is a comprehensive evaluation of facial proportions and internal nasal anatomy of the patient. Surgery to apply will depend on changes in your nose, can be simply aesthetic or a more complex intervention: reconstructive or functional, in order to restore normalcy in the structures.

The average surgical time in the nose is two hours. To do general anesthesia is used, and guarantee comfort at the time of the intervention. As for post surgery, you clarify the process by which you will pass as a patient from the first moment: after a rhinoplasty intervention, inflammation gives way to the seventh day, time you'll disability. Furthermore, the use of tape lasts until day twenty. There is considerable likelihood that appear bruises around the eyes, but these disappear within ten days, also depending on each skin pigmentation.

We must take into account that the nose is the central element of the face, therefore, its shape and size can complement the beauty of a face or otherwise overshadow. Our methods seek to refine the features you dislike about your nose, improve respiratory function and give a natural and balanced appearance to the face.
