Our suggestions so you can decide well

Choose the appropriate professional.
Plastic surgery is a surgical speciality and, even if theoretically any doctor may perform it, only the ones who have been trained in this discipline will obtain the results desired. The specialty requires eleven years of formation: six of career and five of resindency.

Where the scalpels pass through a scar is left.
Plastic surgeons aren`t magicians that make them disappear. What we do know is how to hide the scars taking advantage of certain tension lines of the skin and using stitching techniques which are especially delicate.

The scar formation is an individual biological process.
Each patient responds in a different way. Pathological scars exist (red marcs, wide and thick) that nobody can prevent and that occur in approximately 0,5% of the patients.

The minor surgery doesn`t exist.
Every surgical intervention has risks. The demarcation of them requires that the prevention and security measures are applied rigorously around the surgical action.

Don`t be scared of general anesthetics.
The anesthetic risk (with general or local anesthesia) always exists, but it is insignificant if the preventative measures are taken.

Not everything is achievable.
It is essential that you explain to the surgeon what the results you expect are and that he/she informs you of the real possibilities of obtaining them. In fact, it may be possible that no intervention is necessary.

In a very small percentage the result of a plastic surgery differ from the expected one.
This is because medicine isn`t an exact science since many biological factors are involved. Nevertheless, there are a series of technical elements that, if done, take us closer to a good result.

Trust the experience.
and don`t let yourself get blinded by those who promise "miracles" and apply "the last innovations". It`s proven that collagen injection, as well as the silicone oil injections, the golden threads and other techniques of the aesthetic medicine don`t resolve anything, on the contrary, many times cause problems.

All of the bothers that may appear in the post operative period, (pain, transitory physical incapability, hematoma, edemas, etc.) are best supported if one goes into the surgical room completely convinced of wanting the operation done and not influenced by a family member or the doctor you consulted.

Remember that the decision of getting the operation done is an individual, private and intimate act. This is the only surgical specialty where the patient is the one who decides to have the operation done or not.
