Just as the desire to achieve a more harmonic silhouette is a reason for some women seeking to increase their breasts, there are important reasons why women are looking for a reduction mammoplasty, an intervention in which remodels and reduces the size of the breasts and which is becoming more common.

Reduction mammoplasty is recommended for patients who have very large breasts and for this reason suffer from chronic pain in the neck, head or shoulders that affect their quality of life. Likewise, macromastia can cause problems due to bad posture; Irritation in the lower part of the breasts related to the rubbing of the skin. There are women who find it difficult to perform sports activities or who do not easily find clothing that fits their figure, due to the size of the breasts.

Some of these drawbacks can be partially resolved. For example, you can strengthen your back muscles or men through exercise, but sometimes it is not enough. In such chronic cases surgery is the best option.

The Christmas season is accompanied by family gatherings, novenas and of course the Christmas Eve and New Year dinners. In these events we offer snacks, desserts or dishes that are difficult to refuse, and of course, no one will want to do so. Faced with this panorama many people worry about the eventual increase in weight and what that would mean in sacrifice for the first months of the following year.

That's why I give you some tips to avoid gaining weight or, at least, that the increase is not significant. Start the days with some physical activity, this helps to combat the sedentary lifestyle, avoid eating between hours, avoid the temptations. Avoid sugary drinks, especially if foods are already sweet or fat, so you avoid adding more calories, you can also drink water between hours so you will clean the body, help to expel toxins and not accumulate as much fat.

If you are the host you can vary some recipes and opt for dishes rich in vegetables and baked dishes, avoiding hypercaloric foods. Avoid white bread. Change it for whole wheat bread. If you are in charge of the desserts it is important to control the amount of sugar you add. If instead of preparing them you plan to buy, remember that there are low sugar preparations on the market. And an additional tip: weigh yourself at least twice a week.

In this way you will be aware of the weight you are in and how much you have gone up. As you will realize, most tips aim to be disciplined and not to stop eating. We can enjoy, but with responsibility, avoiding excesses.

People who have suffered a hit causing nose deformities, those who suffer from breathing problems or who simply are not conform with the aesthetic aspects of their face, appeal to rhinoplasty as a solution.

This surgery is outpatient. And after approximately two hours of the procedure, there is an important stage that will allow the patient to obtain satisfactory results: Recovery.

In this case, it´s important that my patients closely follow all my instructions so that the recovery is faster and less painful. Although, the recommendations may vary depending on each patient, here I share the most frequent.

The first thing is to be very judicious with painkillers and other prescription drugs. During the first 4 to 5 days you should keep your head elevated, position that reduces bleeding and swelling, you can use several pillows to facilitate this position when sleeping. You should avoid strenuous physical activities for the first 10 to 15 days.

The patient should also avoid to drink liquor during this period, as well as the cigarette - even as a passive smoker - because this makes healing difficult. I also recommend not exposing to the sun during the first few months.

It’s important, as far as possible, to avoid blowing your nose to aid healing. If you should sneeze, it´s best to do it with your mouth open. Thus, following these basic tips can ensure a recovery as uncomfortable as possible.

The areas of the body where the premature aging of our skin is most evident are the face and neck.

There are different factors in our lifestyles that influence this condition, among them are excessive exposure to the sun, as ultraviolet rays affect the production of collagen and elastin, proteins that confer resistance and elasticity to the tissues. On the other hand, there is the nutrition since, if it does not contain the necessary nutrients, it begins to see diminished the freshness of the skin.

Habits such as tobacco or liquor consumption are also determinants for premature aging, as they reduce the level of oxygen in the blood, affecting the production of collagen. Some liquors also reduce the amount of vitamin A.

Likewise, lack of sleep causes skin aging to occur, as the production of growth hormone, crucial for skin regeneration, is reduced. Not sleeping also contributes to the generation of stress, a condition that generates a hormonal imbalance, decreasing the production of collagen.

For no one is a secret that one of the main concerns of patients is about the risk of one of the breast prosthesis present a break. Not always that one of these implants is broken is by carelessness. An accident may occur. A bad blow or a sudden movement can cause them to break.

That is why it is necessary that people who have undergone an implant procedure are aware of certain symptoms and, in case of any of these signs, it’s important to see a doctor immediately.

-Inflammation in the bust area

-Deformations in the prosthesis

-Change size

-Burning sensation in the affected area

-Intense pain

-Numbness sensation

-Considerable increase in temperature in the bust

I remind you that, sometimes, these types of accidents do not present symptoms, so it’s necessary for patients to perform preventive medical check-ups, at least once a year. Through these checkups you can determine if a mammogram or other similar procedure is needed to know the condition of the prostheses.
