ASSESSMENT OF CARDIO VASCULAR FUNCTION

BEFORE THE SURGERY

Poorly treated hypertensive patients, patients with decompensated thyroid disease, patients with poor renal function, poor respiratory function, valvular stenosis, and chronic smokers are at very high risk of complications.

Patients over 60 years of age must have an electrocardiogram and evaluation by an internist.

The only medication that you can safely take before surgery is acetaminophen and buscopine.

On the day of surgery, you must fast completely (6 hours) and you must have adequate sedation provided only by the surgeon or by the anesthesiologist.

PREGNANCY

No woman can get plastic surgery while pregnant, nor should she seek pregnancy in the 3 months after surgery.

POSTOPERATIVE

The post-operative time requires discipline to take the medication, prudence in movements, cleanliness in personal and bed clothes, patience with edema, pruritus, bruises and the evolution of scars._cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_

THE MEDICATION

The medication must be administered complete and with the schedules required.

THE DIET

The diet must be isosmolar, hyperproteic, hypocaloric and hypofat.

The isosmolar diet includes: broths or consume 3 times a day, pedialyte 30 or electrolit y excludes plain water, aromatics or soft drinks.

The hyperproteic diet includes: sweated or grilled chicken, sweated or grilled ground red meat and sweated or grilled fish; tuna in olive oil and ham.

The hypocaloric diet is achieved by limiting sugars and flours or starches to 1 per meal as much as possible.

The low-fat diet excludes: butter, milk cream or mayonnaise, as well such as chorizo, chicharrón or fried meats.

Fruits and vegetables will facilitate their digestion.

THE MOVEMENT

Movements must be prudent, but mobilization out of bed is mandatory, we even suggest activating circulation when lying down with gentle movements of the feet.

RISKS

Complications in plastic surgery with a skilled surgeon, a well-trained anesthesiologist, and a clean clinic, are very rare. You must comply with the pre-operative instructions and follow the letter of the medication and the post-operative instructions.

INFECTIONS

Seek a lot of cleanliness in the wounds, the bedding and your clothes for daily use. Do not have children or pets that climb on your bed. The healing of your wound is carried out only by the surgeon. Do not use untreated water, or bathtubs, or a sauna, or a Turkish bath, until the wound is well healed.

BRUISES

They are prevented by not taking medication that alters coagulation before surgery. And in the post-operative period, use prudent and smooth movements.

THROMBOEMBOLISM

It is a complication that is the consequence of an alteration in the venous circulation of the lower extremities or abdomen prior to surgery, excessive rest, lack of elastic support in the lower extremities or lack of medication support (aspirin, enoxaparin).

ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK

Severe allergic reactions are unpredictable but you should report any known allergies.

FAT EMBOLISM

It is a very rare complication, it can occur in any form of liposuction or in destruction of biopolymers in the buttock, it compromises the lungs and very rarely the brain and must be treated in the intensive care unit. It is impossible to predict.

THE INFARCTION

It occurs only in patients with predisposing diseases such as: hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia, which mistreated have left alterations in the coronary arteries.

CLEANING OF CLOTHES AND BEDS

The bedding should be clean and pets and children of the house should not climb into bed in the immediate postoperative period; small children who do not have toilet training should not be placed on the abdomen of patients when they are carried or in their sleeping bed. The risks of infection brought by pets in bed are high And furniture.

Ice must be placed in indicated areas only for 48 hours.

The bag with warm water is used with caution in terms of temperature to avoid burns in areas that have decreased sensitivity due to surgery.

The bathroom is restricted for the first 4 days to shampoo on the head and cleaning with wet towels at mandatory daily cleaning points.

Do not use water without adequate treatment (farm water, bathtubs, or swimming pools) before 3 weeks.

If a girdle was placed during surgery, it must be permanently on (day and night) and can only be removed and washed with the express indication of the doctor.

The direct sun on the skin is prohibited for the first 6 weeks after surgery.

A separate chapter deserves the peace of mind that despite the inflammation must accompany the postoperative period; today the post-operative periods are short en disability, which does not mean that the surgery is finished in its healing, a process that can sometimes take 6 to 8 months.

You should not drink alcohol until 21 days after surgery.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

The costs of the procedures are never high, they are proportional to the work they require and the results that can be offered.

The fees of the professional who provides his medical service must include post-operative consultations for up to 2 months. The costs of the medical institution where the procedure is performed, the anesthesiologist and the instrumentalist, are apart from the professional fees. There is also a separate cost for the value of the prostheses used in the surgery or extra materials that are required during the procedure.

The guarantee of the prostheses must be assumed by the manufacturer of the same and there must be a written record of the guarantee that these products carry. If during the trans-operative or post-operative there are setbacks and some diagnostic means, hospitalization or additional medical treatment is required, the insurance you take prior to surgery will assume the costs, the medical insurance does not include medical consultations without justification.

You can be sure that your investment in body image will cost much less than what you spend on vacations or luxury items.

CARE SERVICES

During the first 8 days you will have telephone support 2 times a day and then 1 call a day for the next 15 days. The cures will be performed by the surgeon personally and you will receive preferential attention.

All instructions must be given with the authorization and knowledge of the surgeon, by his secretaries; On Sunday or public holiday you can consult any concern on your cell phone: +57 3116057562.

If you have any symptoms that you consider to be serious, you should go to the emergency room at clínica where surgery was performed. After 2 months you will receive instructions on how to maintain the results of your surgery with diet, exercise, and cosmetic scar and skin care.
