Men and Plastic Surgery

Men and Plastic Surgery

Currently, plastic surgery is not a practice strictly for women. There are procedures designed exclusively for men. The general trend is personal care, the pursuit of personal and emotional satisfaction. It is proven that aesthetic procedures give security to patients who see in their physical aspect what reflects their interior.

Men can also care for and care about our appearance and it is a part of my work that is getting stronger.

Among the procedures indicated for men is:

1. Blepharoplasty: modification of the eye area, specifically the eyelids that, as time passes, lose firmness and accumulate fat under the eyes, what we call dark circles. The goal is to rejuvenate the look.
2. Gynecomastia: The abnormal growth of the mammary gland in men is a reality. With this procedure it is possible to make correction and avoid discomfort.
3. Pectoral Enlargement: Despite the routines for muscle growth, some men have genetic dispositions in which their pecs do not develop much muscularly. Through this intervention a silicone implant is inserted in the chest to simulate the volume that they want.
4. Liposculpture: This procedure is very common in women, however, it is also indicated for men, since it can extract the localized fat difficult to lower with diets and exercise routines.

The nature of Tummy Tuck

The nature of Tummy Tuck

Lipectomy is a surgery that is done to tighten the muscles of the abdomen and extract the excess skin so that you can show it flat.

This surgery is planned with reference to your angle when you are standing. It is worth clarifying this point, because it is completely normal that if you sit or crouch, the skin tends to fold since this organ must be flexible and cover the entire surface of our body, which does not mean that you still have residues of fat Located.
We can make the comparison with a high performance athlete who, although the level of fat of his body is minimal and his muscles are developed and toned, when he folds his body, his skin contracts and creates these folds that you can find in Your belly after the recovery process from your surgery.

Mammograms and Breast Implants: what You Should Know

Mammograms and Breast Implants: what You Should Know

Patients usually ask me if mammograms can be performed after breast augmentation surgery. That’s why I decided to write about this to help clear the doubts of those who want to perform this type of procedures.

Mammography is an important test that should be done periodically for women. Through these checkups you can detect breast cancer in its early stages. This is why it’s so important the mammogram is well performed.

The procedures are usually similar for patients with implants and for those who do not have implants, but it is very important that the specialist who will perform the test be informed about the existence of the prosthesis, as it should be more thorough in the taking of the images, during the study.

That is, while a mammogram in women without breast implants require the taking of four images, in cases where there are implants it is necessary to practice double, which can be more uncomfortable. Especially because in patients with implants it is necessary for the doctor to perform a displacement of the prosthesis to achieve a better visualization of the state of the breasts.

Difficulty may also occur if any keloid scar is developed after augmentation surgery.
In spite of all this, it is proven that prostheses do not interfere with the effectiveness of breast examination.

Tuberous breast's correction

Tuberous breast's correction

Plastic surgery often contributes to the correction of conditions that patients suffer and that make them feel uncomfortable. The tuberous breast is one of them.

The tuberous or tubular chest is characterized by the fact that the breasts look like a tube-shaped or cone-shaped instead of rounded, as is generally, apart from there being a lot of separation between the breasts. It can also be found that the areolas can be large, dilated and usually lack development in the inferior part and / or asymmetry.

Surgically this condition can be corrected generally with the following objectives: to replace the conical form of the breasts for a more rounded one, to give volume to the areas where they are necessary and to correct the aspect of the areola.

Thigh Lift Or Cruroplasty

Why to wear a post surgical garment after a body surgical procedure

The use is prescribed after a body plastic surgery because it has advantages and benefits, especially in the postoperative process and its use depends on the progress and recovery of patients as well as the instructions mentioned in the consultations and controls.

Among the benefits of using this type of garments are:

- By exerting a uniform pressure over the treated area it reduces the risk of irregularities in the surface of the skin, such as ripples and bumps.

How to recognize a good Lymphatic Drain therapy

How to recognize a good Lymphatic Drain therapy

When the lymphatic system is congested, lymph nodes can not perform their work properly and that arise inflamed lymph is a sign that something unusual going on inside. It is normal after any type of surgery present .The inflammation and edema or retentions occur when the lymphatic system is not able to debug these areas, or when liquids and substances stagnate.

For this reason, I prescribe at l at least 10 sessions of this therapy.

Manual lymph drainage is a therapy that involves making the skin massage slow, rhythmic, harmonic and very smooth movements, when done in the proper direction, following the flow of the lymphatic channels, it stimulates the drainage of these ducts nodes, cleaning congested areas. This technique requires a certain amount of intuition and very accurately, because the pressure is a factor and each case and each patient requires care and special handling.

Effective MLD session should last at least one hour. It is advisable that your therapist performs this in a harmonious space that conducive patient to relaxation.

The manual lymphatic drainage movements are extremely slow and repetitive, always following the direction to lymphatic conducts.

With concern , I've noticed that people have a misconception of this therapy concept and confuse a common massage with lymphatic drainage massage . I would like to clear that Another type of massage in a postoperative period is totally contraindicated because it can cause even more edema on operated patients .
