In Male Genitalia

Short bridle

When the frenulum is too short it restricts the movement of the foreskin, which causes discomfort during sexual activity.

Understanding the short frenulum: beyond phimosis

If the penis is erect and the frenulum is too short it causes the head of the penis-glans to deviate downwards. This causes pain, difficulty in penetration and can even cause tears and bleeding. These tears when healing can shorten the frenulum more and aggravate the situation. It is common to confuse the short frenulum with the phimosis, but they are different conditions. A simple examination allows you to identify the specific condition and offer appropriate solutions.

Complications

Short frenulum can lead to a number of additional complications and problems, including:

  1. Pain during sexual activity: Short frenulum can cause discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse, which can affect the patient's intimacy and quality of life.
  2. Difficulty in penetration: Due to the restriction caused by the short frenulum, penetration may be difficult or even impossible in some cases, which can affect the person's sex life and intimate relationships.
  3. Increased risk of injury: A short frenulum can increase the risk of tears or trauma during sexual activity, which can result in pain, bleeding, and even requiring medical attention.
  4. Hygiene problems: In some cases, a short frenulum can make it difficult to properly clean the genital area, which can increase the risk of infection or irritation.
  5. Psychological impact: Sexual difficulties and complications associated with short frenulum can have a negative impact on the individual's self-esteem, confidence and psychological well-being.

Frenuloplasty: short frenulum laser operation

He Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra performs this procedure under local anesthesia, which is very well tolerated by the patient. After the anesthesia is applied, a minimal incision of the frenulum is made with a Carbon Dioxide Laser. Next, 3 resorbable points are given which fall off on their own after 14 days. The procedure takes 10 minutes. Once completed, the patient continues his normal life. The procedure is not painful, nor is the recovery. It is recommended not to have sex for 20 days. After this the patient will have a normal life and sexuality.

Advantages of Laser Frenuloplasty: Optimizing the Patient Experience

The use of carbon dioxide laser in frenuloplasty offers numerous advantages for both the patient and the recovery process. These are some of the main ones:

  1. Surgical Precision: The laser allows the surgeon to make precise and controlled incisions, minimizing the risk of collateral damage to surrounding tissues.
  2. Minimal Invasion: The laser technique reduces the need for large incisions, which leads to less blood loss and faster healing time.
  3. Less Pain and Discomfort: Local anesthesia and laser precision help reduce discomfort during and after the procedure, improving the patient experience.
  4. Fast recovery: Thanks to minimal invasion and accelerated healing process, patients can return to their daily activities in a short time, minimizing the impact on their routine.
  5. Aesthetic Results: The use of laser allows for more satisfactory aesthetic results, with minimal scars and a natural appearance of the corrected frenulum.

Statistics and Facts about Short Frenulum or Frenuloplasty

According to recent medical studies, it is estimated that approximately 5% of adult men may experience some degree of frenulum brevis. This condition can cause sexual discomfort, affect quality of life, and increase the risk of injury during sexual activity. Additionally, it has been noted that frenulum brevis may be underdiagnosed due to lack of awareness about this condition.

Regarding the effectiveness of frenuloplasty, it has been shown to be a safe and effective procedure to correct short frenulum. In most cases, patients experience a significant improvement in sexual function and a reduction in associated discomfort. Studies have reported high satisfaction rates among patients undergoing frenuloplasty, with satisfactory long-term aesthetic and functional results.

Postoperative Advice and Care

After undergoing frenuloplasty, it is important to carefully follow your doctor's orders to ensure a quick and complication-free recovery. Some post-operative tips and care include:

  1. Rest and limited physical activity: It is advisable to rest and avoid strenuous activities during the first few days after surgery to allow the body to recover properly.
  2. Proper hygiene: Maintaining good genital hygiene is essential to prevent infections. It is recommended to gently wash the treated area with warm water and mild soap, avoiding rubbing or applying excessive pressure.
  3. Avoid sexual activity: It is advised to abstain from sexual intercourse for at least 2-3 weeks after frenuloplasty to allow the incision to heal completely and reduce the risk of complications.
  4. Follow the medication plan: If medications are prescribed for pain or to prevent infections, it is important to follow the medication plan as prescribed by the doctor.
  5. Monitoring for signs of complications: Watch for signs of complications such as excessive bleeding, severe swelling, fever, or increased pain, and contact your doctor if concerns arise.

Eye bags

What are dark circles?

Dark circles are a complex condition influenced by various anatomical factors. Below are the main factors that contribute to its appearance:

  1. Fat bags on the lower eyelid.
  2. Malar fat volume loss due to aging or genetic factors.
  3. Lower eyelid lengthening, caused by aging or lack of volume in the malar region.
  4. Groove or tear canal, produced by aging or constitutional predisposition.
  5. Skin factors, related to the texture, color and wrinkles of the skin.

Most patients with dark circles have a lack of volume in the malar region. To effectively correct dark circles, it is essential to restore lost volume in this area.

Aesthetic Impact of Dark Circles

Dark circles make the face less attractive, giving an appearance of tiredness and sadness. They are often believed to be difficult to treat, but each case can be addressed with specialized and personalized treatment.

Treatment with Hyaluronic Acid

Fillers with hyaluronic acid, when applied correctly, offer an immediate improvement, not only in dark circles, but also in the aesthetics of the eyelid and cheekbone. This treatment attenuates eyelid bags and the tear canal, significantly improving facial appearance.

Study cases

Patient 1

screenshot-2024-06-02-at-18-48-20-2-8621402

This patient had bags in her lower eyelid, which were removed through a transconjunctival incision, a procedure that leaves no visible scars. To improve the appearance of the skin, a carbon dioxide laser was used to lighten and tighten the skin. Additionally, volume was added to the malar region with hyaluronic acid. All of this was done in less than 30 minutes under local anesthesia and sedation.

Process:

  • Removal of bags from the lower eyelid through transconjunctival incision.
  • Carbon dioxide laser skin rejuvenation.
  • Volume with hyaluronic acid in the malar region.

Result:

  • Clearer and tighter skin.
  • Restored volume in the malar region.
  • Quick procedure, without visible scars.

Academic works

Patient 2

In this case study, the same procedure that had previously been performed on another patient was performed on Patient 2. This treatment focuses on the correction of certain facial features to improve aesthetic appearance, focusing primarily on the vertical linea nigra that extends from the tarsal edge to the palpebromalar junction.

  • Preoperative:
    • The vertical black line runs from the tarsal edge to the palpebromalar junction.
    • This line is long, which is considered unsightly because it gives the appearance of a long eyelid occupying the malar region.
  • Postoperative:
    • The black line is shorter.
    • The eyelid is shorter, which is a sign of beauty and youth.
PHOTO 2-Bscreenshot-2024-06-02-at-18-58-01-2293227

    • A natural projection of the cheekbone is observed, absence of bags in the lower eyelid and no visible scars.
    • There is a projection of the cheekbone and a shortening of the lower eyelid.
    • All of this represents natural beauty, youth and a fresh, rested expression.

Patient 3

Patient 4

PHOTO A

screenshot-2024-06-02-at-19-13-55-5093417

Clinical features:

  1. Fatty bags in the lower eyelid.
  2. Long lower eyelid.
  3. Lack of projection and volume of the cheekbone.
  4. Tear channel.
  5. It does not present wrinkles or skin aging.

Patient Preferences:

  • You do not want to treat the lower eyelid bags at this time.

Treatment Performed

Procedure:

  • Application of two ampoules of hyaluronic acid, one on each cheekbone.

Immediate Results Observed:

  1. Attenuation of the bags of the lower eyelid due to the increase in volume in the cheekbone, which reduces the protrusion of the bags.
  2. Disappearance of the tear canal.
  3. Significant improvement in the aesthetics of the cheekbone.
  4. Shortening of the palpebromalar distance.

Professional Comments:

  • The treatment is considered almost magical because it is painless, fast, outpatient, with natural results and without adverse effects.
  • The result could be improved with one more ampoule of hyaluronic acid, but it is preferred to advance slowly and allow the patient to decide about increasing volume.
  • Avoid treating patients who desire excessive volume that may result in an unnatural appearance.

Duration and Additional Benefits:

  • The filling must be repeated every 20 months, although sometimes it lasts longer.
  • Hyaluronic acid not only provides volume, but also hydrates and stimulates collagen, which can reduce the amount needed over time.

Treatment Reversibility:

  • If the result is not satisfactory, hyaluronidase can be applied to degrade the material.
  • Until now, it has not been necessary to use this enzyme in patients treated at this center.

PHOTO B

  • Long eyelid, “rained” and tucked into the cheek.
  • Lack of cheekbone projection, probably hereditary.

Aesthetic Effects:

  • Appearance of sadness, tiredness and old age due to the aforementioned factors.

PHOTO C

screenshot-2024-06-02-at-19-13-34-6492058

Procedure:

  • Application of a filler ampoule.

Immediate Results Observed:

  1. Improved aesthetics of the cheekbone.
  2. Disappearance of the tear canal.
  3. Shortening of the eyelid; the palpebromalar junction is closer to the eye than the cheek.
  4. Attenuation of lower eyelid bags.

Professional Comments:

  • Patients are fascinated by the speed, the immediate result, the naturalness, the absence of bruising and the indolence of the treatment.
  • Sometimes more than one or two syringes are needed to obtain the desired result. You start with a smaller amount and evaluate if more volume is necessary in a subsequent session.

Complementary Treatment:

  • Helios depigmentation laser: It attenuates skin color and treats blemishes, in addition to stimulating collagen and improving the appearance of the skin. A minimum of 6 sessions is recommended, one every 15 days or one per month. For more information on dark spot treatment, Click here.

  • Should I rest after the procedure? There's no need.
  • How long does the effect of the filler last? Approximately two years.
  • How does the skin look after the filler disappears? The skin improves, since hyaluronic acid stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.

2 weeks ago I had the opportunity to undergo surgery for the second time, I had a forehead lift-endoscopy and the first time was in 2019, it was a blepharoplasty, they removed the fat from my eyelids. Due to the pandemic, it was only possible for me to return this year. Dr. Hoogstra's way of working is incredible! You remain as if nothing had happened. It didn't hurt at all, I didn't take a single analgesic for the pain, I didn't have any pain and the recovery was very fast. It is worth traveling from the United States for the second time. Since the security of not taking any risks and of looking good is guaranteed. I tried to take a friend with me who wanted to have a face and neck lift and my friend didn't want to go, she went to Cancun Mexico, because it was cheaper for her. They left her with facial paralysis on the entire left side of her face. Dr. Hoogstra takes care of you and treats you as if you were his family. And his work team is fantastic. Very attentive girls. Josefina, Lucia, José Luis, thank you, even the lady who was bringing coffee to my husband. I do not remember his name . She is in charge of caring for the patients' families. And he helped me get dressed. Very grateful to all of you. A piece of advice to all people who want to have facial beautification. Please see him with a doctor who is highly trained. It is not easy to travel to Argentina from Texas, United States. But the effort is worth it since I put myself in the hands of an eminence in surgery Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra.🤗🤗🤗🤗

[:es]Quiero dejar mi opinión porque cuando algo sale bien también hay que decirlo. En mi caso el dr me practico un láser CO2 en los parpados sin blefaroplastia, porque cuento con poca grasa en mis párpados pero ya lucían cansados y caídos. El tratamiento duro 3 minutos como mucho, y tras lo cual durante 2[:en]I want to leave my opinion because when something goes well, it must also be said. In my case the dr practiced a CO2 laser in my eyelids without blepharoplasty, because I have low fat on my eyelids but they already looked tired and droopy. The treatment lasted 3 minutes at most, and after which for 2[:]

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

The passing of the years and the loss of weight produce sagging of all body tissues, the skin of the arms does not escape this phenomenon. This fact generates in the person who suffers it a aesthetic discomfort. We have had a large number of patients who attended our centers our Centers of both sexes to carry out a treatment against this situation.

The solution to sagging arms

The difficulty that existed until a while ago was the unsightly scar left by the conventional technique. Due to its anatomical characteristics, the skin on the inner side of the arm is not adequate to accommodate a scar, which in most cases despite the precautions taken by the surgeon trained in this procedure, widens, proving to be highly visible and unsightly.

For some time in our centers we have developed lthe technique of leaving the scar on the back of the arm. The dermis on the back of the arm is thicker and therefore has less chance of widening. The back of the arm is generally the closest to the body and therefore the least seen. With this simple change in technique, we have managed to improve the aesthetic result of the arm lift, obtaining greater patient satisfaction. Thanks to this we managed to get some stylized and harmonic arms with the body.

How is it the procedure?

This surgery is performed by the Dr.Ricardo Hoogstra. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia, with sedation assisted by an anesthesiologist. The patient retires to his home a short time later and the next day he can continue his activity.
