BLEPHAROPLASTY

This surgery removes the fat, excess muscle and skin from the upper and lower eyelids. The surgery makes it possible to correct bags and drooping eyelids that can make a person look tired or older and can even interfere with vision. It is done on an outpatient basis and no hospital stay is needed. Local anesthetic and sedation are used. We recommend a 4 day stay in the city.

RHINOPLASTY

This is aesthetic surgery on the nose, which can correct curvatures or a prominent ridge hump. In most cases it is carried out using closed surgery to avoid scars and reduce post-operative complications. Surgery is under general anesthetic. A minimum stay in the city of 5 days is recommended, with a hospital stay of 24 hours.

OTOPLASTY

This is a surgical technique aimed at improving the position and size of the ears. The technique is basically used to correct ears that stick out from the head, although it is also used for the treatment of large ears. The surgery is done on an outpatient basis, that is, it does not require a stay in hospital. It is done using local anesthetic and sedation. A minimum stay in the city of 5 days is recommended.

BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

This type of surgery is carried out after a mastectomy to re-create one or both breasts. Implants, a breast prosthesis or tissue from the patient herself can be used; in our hospital we use the prosthesis as the means of replacement. It is carried out with general anesthetic and does not require a stay in hospital. A minimum stay of 7 days in the city is recommended.

BREAST AUGMENTATION

This is a surgical technique aimed at improving the volume and shape of the female breast so that a woman can feel better about herself. It consists of implanting a prosthesis under the mammary gland or the pectoral muscle fascia. It may need an overnight stay in hospital but not always. General anesthesia is used and a stay in the city of 4 days is recommended.

BREAST REDUCTION

This surgery consists of removing part of the mammary tissue and skin. It is carried out when there are aesthetic deficiencies or functional problems. The surgery is done under general anesthetic and requires a one-day hospital stay. A minimum stay in the city of 7 days is recommended.

LIPOSUCTION

This surgery makes it possible to reshape someone’s outline by extracting the fat or adipose tissue from various parts of the body. Liposuction is generally carried out on the abdomen, the hips and the thighs, although it can also be done on other parts such as the arms, knees, double chin, ankles or face. The type of anesthesia used depends on where the adipose tissue is to be removed from. It can be carried out on an outpatient basis or with a day’s stay in hospital, depending on the area of extraction. A stay of 5 days in the city is recommended.

ABDOMINOPLASTY

This is a complex surgical procedure to reconstruct the abdominal wall and consists of the elimination of excess skin and excess fat and tightening of the muscles of the abdominal wall, the aim being to remodel the abdomen, the waist and the shape of the trunk. General anesthetic is used and a two-day hospital stay is required. A minimum stay in the city of 8 days is recommended.
