Body Surgery
Abdominoplasty or Dermolipectomy
It is a surgery that aims to improve the contour of the abdomen, removing the sagging skin of the region. This often occurs after major weight loss, pregnancies and in patients who have frequent physical activity, including athletes who may have this excess skin in the region. It is performed in a hospital with a stay of around twenty-four hours. There are postoperative recommendations, such as rest, that the patient should follow.
It can be associated with liposuction in this region, which is a procedure we call lipoabdominoplasty, in order to improve the contour of the waist or the posterior region, improving the aesthetic result in general. The indication of each procedure will depend on what the patient has, that is, if there is sagging skin, we will have to remove the excess of this skin with an abdominal plastic surgery and, often, use liposuction as a resource to improve this region of the waist. and the posterior region of the trunk.
In case of severe abdominal diastasis, which is the removal of the abdominal muscles, this surgery is indicated, and the abdominal muscles are tied. Abdominal diastasis is a common problem among women and occurs mainly after childbirth, which can cause pain and difficulty in locomotion. When necessary, we take advantage of the surgery to eliminate sagging and stretch marks in the abdominal region, performing the remodeling of the abdomen, with the aim of leaving the patient with a firmer silhouette.
Brachioplasty or Plastic Surgery of the Arms
In the region of the arms, we commonly find situations where the patient has a small volume or flaccidity in the skin. When the region has a firm tissue, we perform liposuction, reducing the volume, and normally the skin retracts and the result is satisfactory.
When it is more flaccid, the option is plastic surgery, where we will remove the tissues, removing the fat and flaccid skin. However, in this case, the result is a scar on the inside of the arm. Another option can be to reduce the volume of the region, through Cryolipolysis, which is a treatment performed through a equipment.
In the case of the option for Cryolipolysis, it is important to carry out this
treatment with a doctor who has Anvisa records, so that the procedure is as safe as possible and clarify all doubts with your plastic surgeon.
Dermolipectomy or Thigh Lift
Surgery consists of removing excess fat and skin from this region of the body, being indicated for patients who have suffered great and rapid weight loss and who feel insecure with their appearance, due to excess sagging, resulting from the aging process.
The procedure can be performed alone or associated with liposuction to optimize body contour.
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is the presence of breasts with feminine characteristics in men. She may have an increase in either the gland or the fat around the gland, or both at the same time.
Regardless of the cause, most men with gynecomastia suffer from having female-shaped “boobs”. In addition to increased size, gynecomastia can also be characterized by asymmetrical breasts.
Corrective surgery can therefore be performed on just one breast or both.
Gluteoplasty or Buttock Lift
Plastic surgeries for buttocks are great allies for those who want to remodel this area. It is recommended in cases of excess localized fat, significant sagging of soft tissues and asymmetry. The main plastic surgeries for buttocks are:
Buttock implant: This procedure improves the appearance and size of the buttocks and consists of implanting a silicone prosthesis over or inside the muscle, under general or epidural anesthesia.
Fat transfer: Fat injections are performed, removed from the patient himself, in order to fill in irregularities and grooves in the buttocks.
Body contouring: Known as "body lifting", it is a procedure that removes excess fat and sagging skin, resulting in a contour more delineated, harmonious and youthful body. This technique is recommended for people who have low, irregularly shaped or flat glutes.
The difference can be noticed almost immediately, however, the final result can take up to 1 year to appear.
Laserlipolysis or Laser Liposuction
It is a minimally invasive and fast-acting technique, which has the same objective, indications and results of traditional liposuction, acting against localized fat and cellulite. The procedure is done by heating the fat cells, facilitating their elimination by the body itself and, by removing excess fat, it does not leave the skin flaccid.
How it works?
The method is performed with two types of laser, introduced through an optical fiber, from a micro orifice in the skin, one of which acts by melting the fat and the other generating compression of the skin, leaving it firmer and preventing skin sagging, common after traditional liposuction. With this, the laser reaches the fat cell, heating it and causing it to break.
When there is little localized fat, it is released and eliminated, over time, by the body itself. When the area is more extensive, the fat is aspirated in the same procedure, through very thin cannulas, which generates much less trauma than liposuction. In simpler cases, with less extensive area, it can be performed in the office itself.
In the case of more extensive areas, the procedure must be performed in a surgical center. Local tumescent anesthesia or epidural anesthesia is used, enabling greater fat removal with minimal blood loss. As the method is minimally invasive and does not require stitches, the patient can return to their daily activities right after the procedure. The laser also has a selective action, causing little swelling, little ecchymosis and few bruises, making recovery faster and less painful.
It is worth mentioning that it is not indicated for weight loss or excessive weight loss, as it only treats localized fat and not diffuse, with mild to moderate sagging. For areas with very large sagging, it is necessary to resort to procedures that also remove excess skin. It is always advisable to look for a trusted professional who is specialized in the method.
Thigh Liposuction
Among all plastic surgery procedures, liposuction is one of the most popular among Brazilians. The goal is basically to eliminate localized fat.
It can be performed in areas of the body where there is an accumulation of fat reservoirs, such as the thighs, being recommended to remove excess fat, even in thin people.
Buttock Liposuction
Liposuction in the gluteal region is intended for the removal of localized fat in the gluteal region through Liposuction. Liposuction of the gluteal region is simple, performed under general or epidural anesthesia with sedation.
The next day, the patient can walk.
Abdominal Liposculpture
With a relatively simple and safe procedure, men and women can improve their body contour. Liposuction is the removal of fatty tissue from a part of the body.
Liposculpture is liposuction performed on different parts of the body, and may be associated with lipoinjection or fat grafting (use of extracted fat to enlarge a deficient area, such as the buttocks).
This surgery can be performed alone or associated with others, such as an abdominal or breast lift.
Buttock Liposculpture
Liposculpture can have three purposes: to improve, reduce or increase.
To improve the gluteal contour, it is necessary to reduce the fat in certain areas and reinject the same fat in others, making the butt more defined.
The reduction is also performed with liposuction that can reduce the buttocks in a global way or in specific locations.
For augmentation of the gluteal region, liposculpture is a good option for patients who do not accept to undergo bioplasty.
HD Liposculpture
HD liposculpture or high definition lipo, is a technique that seeks to make the body athletic and super defined.
Considering that this technique emerged from the need to sculpt the human body in four dimensions, in practice, this procedure brings better results than conventional liposuction, promoting the definition of the musculature through specific techniques of aspiration and grafting, where the surgeon can reinforce visually the grooves and volumes that define the muscles.
Lipolaser with Thermographic Control
Lipolaser promotes, in some cases, better skin retraction in certain regions, improving possible sagging. It is a minimally invasive treatment that has been shown to be a safe and effective alternative to surgical liposuction.
The reduction of localized fat with laser guarantees immediate results, also treating sagging. In the procedure, the laser is applied to the skin through very fine fiber optic tips. The light beams break the fat cells, which are naturally eliminated by the body or aspirated by the doctor, resulting in a significant reduction in measurements.
At the same time, the unique combination of lasers also improves the texture of the skin at the application site, leaving it smoother and more rejuvenated. It is worth mentioning that, when used only as laser lipolysis, that is, the energy of the laser introduced through a small cannula, promoting the degradation of fat at the site, without associating with the aspiration of fat, which is used in very specific cases and regions, recovery is simpler and faster. The procedure requires only local anesthesia and is done in the office, and can be applied to areas such as the abdomen, flanks (waist), back, thighs, culottes, arms, jowls and knees.
Accessory Breast
When there is only a small increase in volume in the armpit, the surgical correction is performed by means of liposuction.
For cases in which there is a large increase in volume, the correction is made by combining liposuction with the removal of breast tissue.
Augmentation Mammoplasty
Mammoplasty can have several objectives and, in this specific case, augmentation mammoplasty surgery or silicone implant in the breasts, aims to give volume for a very small breast, as well as correcting the loss of breast tissue, which is breast ptosis, a surgery considered very interesting, because repositions the breast, not necessarily using the prosthesis or silicone implant.
You can have this surgery just to reposition the shape of this breast. The choice of subglandular or submuscular silicone implant is one of the plastic surgeon's tasks during the medical consultation. And to define the best position of the silicone prosthesis, your doctor must take into account some physical characteristics.
The quality of your skin, the amount of breast tissue that will cover the implant and the patient's physical type are some of the characteristics to be evaluated. In addition, the size of the prosthesis and the patient's aesthetic goalsmust also be taken into account when choosing between the position of thesilicone implant, subglandular or submuscular.
Reduction Mammoplasty
Breast reduction seeks to achieve a breast size proportionate to the body and alleviate the discomfort associated with very large breasts by removing excess fat, glandular tissue and skin.
In addition to the aesthetic discomfort, breast hypertrophy (or excessively large breast) can cause chronic pain in the back, neck and shoulders, skin irritation below the breast crease, depression in the shoulders (instead of bra straps) due to the weight of the breasts, in addition to posture defects.
Limitations to physical and daily activities and difficulties in finding appropriate bras and bikinis are also part of the daily life of those who suffer from this situation.
Mastopexy
For women, the importance of having beautiful, firm and proportionate breasts transcends the simple aesthetic aspect.
For women who have sagging, sagging and asymmetry in the breasts, lifting mammoplasty, or mastopexy, is the most indicated procedure. The surgery is indicated for women over 35 years old or those who have already had children and do not want other pregnancies.
The procedure can be done individually or in combination with reduction or augmentation mammoplasty.
Nymphoplasty or Intimate Surgery
The main objective is to increase the self-esteem of the woman who, due to dissatisfaction, avoids changing in collective changing rooms, wearing tight clothes and is embarrassed during sexual intercourse. It is a minor surgery, with local anesthesia, in which the patient is discharged on the same day and can return to work two days later.
Reduction of the labia minora: More commonly called labiaplasty or nymphoplasty, it is the most sought-after intimate surgery by women, who seek it out when they are bothered by the fact that the labia minora protrude outside the labia majora and consists of removing this “excess”.
Reduction of the labia majora: There are also cases where a woman is uncomfortable with the appearance of the labia majora, when she considers that there is excess skin or sagging. In this case, a filling is indicated, which makes the skin, before flaccid, stretch or even the possibility of removing excess skin.
Reduction of the mound of venus: It is the region above the pubis, a few centimeters below the navel. Some women are uncomfortable when there is an accumulation of fat in the area, making it voluminous. In this case, it is possible to perform liposuction in the region, in order to eliminate the bulging caused by the accumulation of localized fat. These women report discomfort when wearing a bikini or tight-fitting clothes as they reveal the extra volume.
Fillers for the labia majora: The most common filler these days is with hyaluronic acid. It is a substance that is applied with needle pricks to the outside of the labia majora, to improve the appearance and hydration of the tissue. The purpose is aesthetic. But it is not a definitive procedure. The effect only lasts for about a year (the substance is absorbed by the body over time).
Vaser
This is a technology that uses ultrasound waves to selectively break and liquefy fat cells, and reducing trauma and recovery time.
Currently used with liposuction and can combine with another devices to improve the result of liposuction and reduce the bleeding.
J.PLASMA ( RENUVION)
Renuvion or J-Plasma is a skin-tightening treatment used to enhance the outcome of your liposuction procedure. It uses helium gas, activated by radiofrequency, to create plasma energy. This energy is delivered to the fibroseptal network underneath the skin to maximise the soft tissue’s contraction and improve the area’s contour and laxity.
The application of heat to the underlying skin tissue promotes neocollagenesis, which is the production of collagen following repair to the controlled injury to the soft tissue layer.
ARGON PLASMA
The device uses pressurized argon gas to drive radiofrequency energy into a hollow cannula.
The cannula is moved around in a similar way to a liposuction cannula, rapidly heating small sections of subcutaneous collagen matrix to 85°C. This heat generates strong contraction of the collagen within fractions of a second, causing a 40–50% reduction in fiber length.
Skin tone continues to improve over a year, as new collagen develops within the tissue. Studies show the treatment can achieve up to 36% measured skin surface area contraction.
Repair Surgeries
Skin Cancer: Removal
Skin cancer can look like moles, eczema, or other benign lesions. In this way, knowing the skin well and knowing in which regions there are spots, makes all the difference when detecting any irregularity, but it is important to always be aware of symptoms such as:
• Raised, shiny, translucent, reddish, brown, pink, or multicolored skin lesions with a central crust that bleeds easily;
• Black or brown spots that change their color, texture, become jagged at the edges and grow in size;
• Spots or sores that do not heal, that continue to grow, become itchy, crusty, crusty, or bleed.
In addition to all these signs and symptoms, metastatic melanomas may have others, which vary according to the area where the cancer has advanced. This can include skin lumps, swollen lymph nodes, shortness of breath or coughing, abdominal pains and headaches, for example. Only a clinical examination by a specialist doctor or a biopsy can diagnose skin cancer.
Scars: Corrective Surgery
The purpose of this surgery is to correct skin defects, such as irregularities in texture, size or color, providing a more uniform skin.
It is performed only in the most serious cases or when other types of aesthetic treatments do not work.
Tits: Reconstruction
Techniques for breast reconstruction vary and fundamentally depend on the amount of tissue removed and its location.
The most used are those that make use of the breast tissues themselves, which, with repositioning, fill the empty spaces.
These are the so-called local flaps associated or not with mammoplasty. There is no ideal technique, but the most suitable for a given case.
Minor Surgeries
Repair of warts, moles, nevus, among others, are routine procedures, such as cauterization, cryotherapy, biopsy, abscess drainage, removal of moles, lipomas and cysts, dermatological curettage, foreign body removal, intralesional corticosteroid infiltration, Ear lobes, among others, are minor surgeries performed preferably to remove lesions and usually performed in the doctor's office.
Polydactyly
In polydactyly of the hands and feet there are more than four fingers or more than one thumb. In the case of the hands, it can occur next to the thumb (called preaxial polydactyly or thumb duplication), next to the little finger (called postaxial polydactyly), or on the central fingers (central polydactyly).
Pre-axial polydactyly is more frequent in whites and post-axial in blacks. Central polydactyly is infrequent. Regardless of location, the surgical procedure is simple and safe.
