Aesthetic Surgery

Procedures to harmonize craniofacial structures, reshape contours, and gender characterization. The aim is to obtain an ideal facial aesthetics according to the universal canons of beauty and in accordance with the patient's preferences and expectations. Beauty is personalized and takes into account the racial and ethnic features of each individual. In some cases it is necessary to modify features that do not harmonize with the rest of the face. Examples: mentoplasty, bichectomy (removal of fatty tissue), masculinization, feminization, facial symmetrization, and implants: malar, paranasal, mandibular and chin.




What is the ideal age for facial surgery?


There is no exact age for facial surgery, as it depends on factors such as personal goals, health status and visible signs of aging. Generally, it is considered between 40 and 60 years old to treat sagging or deep wrinkles, although younger people may opt for preventive treatments.

The most important thing is to have good health, realistic expectations and the guidance of a board-certified plastic surgeon, who will help you decide the ideal moment according to your aesthetic needs and goals.


Risks


  • Like any surgical procedure, facial surgery carries certain risks. Although it is usually safe in the hands of a certified professional, it is important to be aware of the possible complications:
    1. Infections: Although rare, they may occur and require treatment with antibiotics.
    2. Hematomas: Accumulation of blood under the skin that may need to be drained.
    3. Abnormal scarring: Some people may develop visible scars or keloids.
    4. Changes in sensitivity: Temporary or, in rare cases, permanent numbness may occur.

    To minimize these risks, it is essential to choose an experienced surgeon, follow pre- and post-operative instructions, and maintain realistic expectations. A detailed consultation with a specialist is key to evaluate your case and ensure your safety.


Recovery


Complications, although uncommon, are managed according to their nature:

  • Infections: With antibiotics or drainage if necessary.
  • Hematomas: They are drained to relieve pressure and improve appearance.
  • Cicatrices: Treatments such as gels, laser or surgical corrections.
  • Numbness: Generally improves with time, but may require further evaluation.
  • Asymmetries: Minor adjustments to balance the results.
  • Reactions to anesthesia: They are managed during surgery with medical monitoring.

Postoperative follow-up and the choice of a certified surgeon are key to ensure a safe recovery.

Handling of facial contours

The management of facial contours is key to achieve a balanced and natural look in a facial surgery. This process includes techniques such as tissue repositioning, removal of excess skin, and in some cases, the use of grafts or fillers to improve facial harmony.

A personalized approach and a detailed evaluation by the surgeon ensure that the results are proportional and favor the unique characteristics of each patient. The combination of technical precision and aesthetic design is essential to redefine and enhance facial contours.

Bichectomy
  • Bichectomy is a surgical procedure designed to improve facial contours by reducing the volume of the cheeks. It is performed by partially removing the Bichat bags, fat accumulations located in the cheeks, achieving a more stylized and defined face.

Anti-aging surgery
  • Anti-aging surgery is designed to rejuvenate the face, reducing the visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles, sagging and loss of volume. The most common procedures include facelift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and facial fillers to restore facial firmness and harmony.

    These treatments seek a fresh and natural look, respecting the unique characteristics of each person. It is essential to consult with a certified plastic surgeon to evaluate individual needs and obtain safe and personalized results.
