The incisions are made in the posterior fold of the ear, for What remains hidden and at the end of the healing process are practically imperceptible. During the postoperative period it is necessary to wear a special compression garment for about two weeks to keep the ears in a proper position during the healing period.

METOPLASTY (Chin Implant)

It is a surgery that involves modifying the shape, size or position of the chin, either by restructuring the patient's bone chin or by inserting a prosthesis in order to improve facial contour.

There are several options for increasing the size of the chin and the choice of technique varies depending on the patient's evaluation and the degree of deformity. Among the possible surgeries we find the advancement of the bone structures of the chin and fixation, the placement of implants. In cases of minor deformities, these implants can basically be made of two materials: silicone or Medpor, and the choice of this material also varies according to the patient's requirements.

Three fundamental aspects are involved in the study of the patient: The skin and the muscle, the bone, and the relationship of the dental occlusion.

The size of the implant, or the degree of advancement of the chin, is defined once the patient's study has been carried out. The procedure must be performed in surgery rooms, and has an average duration of an hour and a half, under local anesthesia, and is an outpatient procedure. , and generates an average disability of 5 days, since the degree of inflammation in general is moderate.

CERVICOPLASTY (Neck lift)

A neck lift is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance caused by excess fat and sagging skin on the neck. By lifting this skin, the jaw contour is redefined, the neck regains its youthful appearance and the descent of other tissues is prevented.

When treating the bands that are formed by separation of the neck muscles, it may be necessary to perform a small liposuction when this area has significant adiposity, a technique that is applied carefully in order not to injure the delicate tissues of the neck. . Some young patients also suffer from fat accumulation in the neck and, even when thin, they look bloated and thick. This circumstance adds years to the appearance and powerfully deteriorates the elegant neck line that is associated with youth.
To correct fat accumulation under the chin, a small incision is made under and behind the chin (submental sulcus), through which excess fat is aspirated and the neck muscles are pulled. Thanks to the latest endoscopic practices, the incisions that previously could make this surgery obvious are minimized.

BODY SURGERIES

*Silicone gel: this gel can be of two types

*Soft gel: By filling breast prostheses with this soft gel material, the breast is not maintained in a permanent shape, it modifies and changes shape depending on the movements and pressure received.

*Cohesive gel: It is a hard filling that keeps the breast prostheses in their shape and does not change due to the movements and pressures exerted on the breasts. If this cohesive gel-filled prosthesis breaks, it does not lose its shape, and its contents do not expand outside the prosthesis envelope.

- Saline: Saline implants are filled with sterile saline. They are placed empty and then filled once they are in place.

Regarding the location of the implants inside the breast, the techniques used by specialists depend on the physical characteristics of the patient, which determines whether the breast implants are located below the mammary gland (subglandular), the fascia of the pectoral muscle (subfascia) or under the pectoral muscle (submuscular). The decision of where the prosthesis will be placed will be up to the cosmetic surgeon once he has assessed which is the best option after checking the volume and anatomy of the patient's breast.

Breast lifting is usually accompanied by increasing the volume of the breasts with implants to not only leave them lifted, tempered but also with an appropriate size for the weight and height of women.

A properly positioned breast is determined depending on several anatomical aspects, such as the site of greatest volume, and the position of the areola. However, not only is an evaluation of the areola performed, the type and quality of the skin and the size of the breast are also evaluated to determine which surgical procedure would be the most appropriate.

With diet and exercise, patients reduce the body's fatty tissue globally, meaning that just as the fatty accumulations in the abdomen decrease, the fatty tissue in the face, breasts, hips, legs, etc. decreases. The entire body reduces its fatty tissue while maintaining the same shape. Then the localized fatty accumulations that they dislike will remain in the same place and the only way to remove them to achieve the desired shape is with liposuction.

What is the difference between liposuction and liposculpture?

Liposuction is the aesthetic procedure that is used to extract fatty tissue with suction and cannulas from any area of the body. This is why we can find isolated procedures such as liposuction of the abdomen, liposuction of the back, liposuction of the arms, liposuction of the thighs, among others. others.

Brazilian Butt Lift

Buttock augmentation is the medical term. Although it is called this way because it is a buttock augmentation with fat grafting. This procedure uses fat from other parts of the body and then injects it into the buttocks.

To obtain a more contoured shape, plastic surgeons can either add an implant or add fat. The Brazilian Butt Lift uses fat from other parts of the body. Many people feel this is an added benefit because those areas are liposuctioned at the same time. The fat that is usually taken can be from the back, stomach, hips or thighs. The fat that is extracted is purified and then used to shape and increase the buttocks.

Since fat is taken from other parts of the body, this procedure may not be an option for someone who does not have enough extra adipose tissue to contribute. These patients will likely need implants to achieve a fuller look, although a person with a medium amount of fat may be a good candidate.

This is a procedure used by both men and women and for many it looks more natural than an implant or filler of some type.
