If you have never had surgery, you should understand that this is a process that requires your complete preparation. If you can prepare yourself mentally you will be able to take on the challenge of this experience, because you will face in a better way the changes that will come. Consider the following tips for your mental preparation:

- Understand that surgery is a process of transformation chosen by yourself. Think of the post-operative now as a time of healing, not as a disease. This will facilitate the recovery.

- Think that the results of your surgery will not be immediate, even when returning to your place of origin you will have to wait to see them. The body takes six months to complete its healing process. Only then will you see the final result.

- Have the clarity to understand that the experience of other patients goes to not necessarily your experience. Each body has its own characteristics to receive surgery in its own way and too every person lives their surgery abroad in their own way. Your experience will be unique. Just keep a good attitude and you will see that everything will turn out well.

Follow these tips to have a happy experience. Likewise, remember that you will always have at your disposal a group of professionals interested for ensuring your well-being and tranquility.

Many of my patients ask me if lipoinjection in the buttocks and breasts is a permanent or temporary procedure.

On this subject it is important that you know that this is a procedure that has a history of more than twenty years, in which the technology has advanced much to achieve permanent results.

Lipoinjection is a process in which part of the adipose tissue is removed from the body, purified and injected into the desired area. If you are a thin person, you should consider another procedure such as silicone prosthesis implantation, since will not be possible extract enough fat from your body. However if you have unwanted fat in areas such as the abdomen, legs or arms, this procedure may interest you.

At the time of performing the lipoinyección is possible that you see your buttocks or breasts bigger that the desired size. This is normal, because over time the body reabsorbs between 20% and 40% of fat. The rest of the fat is integrated into the muscle because it is living tissue.

Please follow strictly my recommendations, so you will have the better results and avoid complications.

A breast augmentation or mamoplasty has two options for implant placement, sub-glandular and sub-muscular. In our asessment appointment we will decide the location of the implants, because this varies from one patient to another. Without having studied your particular case, it is difficult to determine the best location for your breast implants, however, is a frequent question of my patients. I will explain what is the difference between both options:

Subglandular breast implant.

Subglandular breast augmentation, or also known as a submammary, is based on the collation of the implant between the pectoralis muscle and the mammary gland. This procedure requires less recovery time because only are cut skin and fat, rather than muscle, making the patient feel less pain and discomfort in port-surgical process. Submuscular breast implant.

Submuscular breast implant.

In the submuscular placement of the breast implant, also called subpectoral, the implant is placed behind the pectoral muscle, that is, the implant is placed between the muscle and the chest wall in the space below the muscle. This procedure is a little more painful and post-operative recovery takes longer. When you have your appointment with me, take the opportunity to ask all the questions you have so that you know the details in depth of your surgery.

If you have never come to Colombia, It’s probable that you surprise the difference that you will find with the culture of his country. That's why I've created a series of tips that will help to your mental preparation for the best experience of surgery with me in Cali, Colombia.

•  Remember that you come to a foreign country and you must adapt to the customs of the country, not the other way around.

•  Keep in mind that the official language of Colombia is Spanish. In my work team there are people who speak English but not all are bilingual, do't get frustrated if you meet someone who does not speak English.

There are programs like Duolingo, which offer you the possibility to learn while having fun. In case you do not have time to practice Spanish you can use tools like the google translator. Is important that you always keep a positive attitude, so, the people around you will try to understand you and help you.

A product that you will see very often is rice, because this cereal is part of the daily food in Colombia.
