Facelift

At what age is a facelift recommended?

There is no exact age; the ideal timing depends on the degree of sagging and volume loss in each patient. It is generally performed between 40 and 65 years of age, though the most important factor is that the patient is in good health and has realistic expectations.

How long do the results last?

A well-executed Deep Plane facelift produces results that last between 7 and 10 years, depending on lifestyle and skin care.

Will it be noticeable that I had surgery?

With the Deep Plane technique, tissues are repositioned from their origin, achieving a natural rejuvenation. The goal is for you to look rested and younger, without the "pulled" or artificial appearance associated with superficial techniques.

Blepharoplasty

Is the upper eyelid, lower eyelid, or both operated on?

It depends on each case. Some patients require only the upper eyelid, others the lower, and in many cases both are addressed in the same procedure to achieve a balanced result.

Does it affect vision?

Quite the opposite — when there is excess skin in the upper eyelid that interferes with the visual field, blepharoplasty can notably improve it. The surgery does not compromise vision in any case.

How long is the recovery?

Between 7 and 10 days for the most noticeable swelling and bruising. Most patients resume social activities within 10 to 14 days.

Breast Augmentation with Implants

How do we choose the implant size?

Through a personalized assessment and volume trials during the consultation. The goal is to find a size that harmonizes with your figure; we never impose a result — we build it together.

Are implants lifetime devices?

Modern implants are highly durable, but they are not considered lifetime devices. They have no fixed expiration date, but periodic check-ups are recommended. A replacement may be necessary in cases of rupture, capsular contracture, or other factors.

Can I breastfeed after surgery?

In most cases yes, especially when the incision and surgical plane are chosen with that consideration in mind. It is a factor that is evaluated and planned from the initial consultation.

Mastopexy (Breast Lift)

What is the difference between mastopexy with and without an implant?

Mastopexy without an implant lifts and repositions existing tissue, ideal when there is good volume but sagging. With an implant, the lift is combined with volume augmentation, indicated when there is loss of projection in addition to ptosis.

How visible are the scars?

Scars are inevitable in this procedure, but they are placed strategically — around the areola, vertically, and in the submammary fold — so they remain hidden under underwear or a swimsuit. Over time, they mature and fade considerably.

When can I resume exercise?

Light activity from 3–4 weeks. High-impact or upper-body exercise from 6–8 weeks, with medical clearance.

Liposuction

How long do I need to wear a compression garment?

Generally between 4 and 6 weeks continuously, and then intermittently depending on progress. The garment is essential for achieving proper skin retraction and an optimal result; it is not optional.

Does the fat come back after liposuction?

The fat cells that are removed do not come back. However, if there is a significant weight gain after surgery, the remaining cells can enlarge. Maintaining healthy habits is key to preserving long-term results.

How many areas can be treated at the same time?

It depends on the volume of fat to be removed and the safe surgical time. It is possible to work on several areas simultaneously in a single session, always prioritizing patient safety over the number of areas treated.

Abdominoplasty

Can it be combined with liposuction?

Yes, and in most cases it is recommended. The combination allows for a more harmonious silhouette, addressing both excess skin and fat deposits in complementary areas.

What is diastasis and how is it corrected in this surgery?

Diastasis is the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles, common after pregnancy. It is corrected during abdominoplasty — in fact, muscle repair is one of its main objectives, not just skin resection.

How much rest time do I need?

Between 2 and 3 weeks of relative rest. Return to desk-based work may be earlier; more demanding physical activities are gradually resumed from 6 weeks onward.
