With the popularity of rings and expanders, the elongation or tear and even a complete tear of the earlobes has become very frequent. These tears are usually the result of wearing heavy earrings or a sudden sharp pull down. The lobes also lengthen over the years and they tune, this leads to the patient's desire to give it volume and shorten them.
Lobuloplasty procedure
The surgery is not complex and lasts on the order of 20 minutes. In this surgery local anesthesia is used, sleeping only the sector in which you work. Once the procedure is completed, the ear lobes are covered in order to avoid any type of infection that may occur in contact with water, blows or chafing.
The most common way to operate a torn lobe is called simple closure, where the walls of the hole are affected and the skin is sewn closing both the posterior and anterior parts of the ear lobe.
The patient immediately goes on with his normal life and the ring is placed in the same act in a place generally a little higher and more centered. It does not require previous studies, nor does it require the patient to come fasting.
This treatment is carried out by Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra in Hoogstra Medical Centers Caballito branch.

Those patients who have flat, flat or small buttocks and who are not satisfied with them, may be favored with the placement of gluteal prostheses.
This is a fast and effective outpatient procedure that can be performed as the only procedure or associated with a laser lipo of the waist, back etc. to improve the shape and overall contour.
Type of Anesthesia
We generally use local anesthesia with sedation or epidural.
Implant type and warranty
The most widely used implant is the round, high profile, 200 cc. Silimed brand. These implants are made of cohesive gel and are stronger than other implants. Buttock prostheses have a 10-year guarantee against breakage. The danger of rupture of a buttock prosthesis is very small, since they are resistant. The implant warranty excludes external damage such as that caused by injection needles.
What do I have to know about the intervention?
An incision of approximately 5 cm. It is performed in the intergluteal groove, which makes this scar not noticeable. The prosthesis is placed between the muscular bundles of the gluteal muscle in the upper part of the buttock, since the sciatic nerve is located in the lower part and makes its placement impossible. This intervention is performed at Hoogstra Medical Centers, Surgical Unit, Caballito branch. Our surgical units have the approval of the Secretary of Public Health, combining comfort and safety. Recovery time at Hoogstra Medical Centers is approximately 6 hours.
Post-operative care
Immediately after the procedure, you can sleep on your back, on your stomach and you can always sit on soft surfaces. The next day you can bathe and wander. During the first week after treatment, antibiotics and analgesics will be indicated. The stitches are removed after 7 days. The approximate time to resume your activity is 4 days.
What should you consider before performing this intervention? Intramuscular injections may not be applied to the buttock.

Use of Platelet Rich Plasma in internal and external female genital rejuvenation.
One of the very little invasive procedures that rejuvenates the vagina and vaginal lips is the application of Platelet Rich Plasma.
Genital rejuvenation without surgery
For many years we have used the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to reduce wrinkles, furrows, cellulite, stretch marks and repair ulcers. It is also used in orthopedics and dentistry for bone repair.
The use of rich plasma has no adverse effects on the body. It consists of removing a small amount of blood from the patient himself, centrifuging it, and using the platelet concentrate to reconstitute tissue.
Platelets have substances called Growth Factors, which once injected into the desired area produces a cellular rejuvenation.
For a few years now, at Hoogstra Medical Centers we have been using PRP for internal and external genital rejuvenation, sometimes as the only procedure, but more frequently in combination with laser, both for facial and genital rejuvenation.
It is a quick, painless and immediate recovery procedure, and the patient can have sex the next day. If combined with lasers, it requires a 7-day sexual abstinence.
With the injection of this fraction of PRP we seek to reverse the signs of aging of the mucous membranes and skin due to the action of these released growth factors.
What does the treatment consist of?
Growth factors stimulate the production of fibroblasts responsible for the synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, essential components for maintaining the structure of tissues. Also by its action angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) and mitogenesis (formation of new cells) are stimulated. All these changes improve dryness, atrophy, flaccidity, dyschromia (color alterations) and improve the texture, tone, color, shine and luminosity of the skin and mucous membranes.
After applying the PRP, the skin can feel smoother, softer and younger. The same happens at the level of the vaginal mucosa: the secretion of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin is stimulated, which improves the lubrication of the vaginal canal and prevents pain during intercourse.
The frequency of sessions is one every month with a maximum of 3 per year. Results for some women are fast and in other cases it takes several weeks to achieve the desired effects.
Origins of treatment
Since 2009 when Dr. Charles Runels, a doctor from Alabama, United States, began applying PRP to the clitoris and vaginal roof where the G-spot is supposed to be, there are more and more women in the United States and Europe than request this procedure. Dr. Charles Runel says his patients have “increased arousal, more intense orgasms, and younger, smoother skin around the vagina ".
This procedure is the same that we have been performing to rejuvenate the vagina and external genitalia, although with greater application of plasma rich in the vaginal ceiling and clitoris. Sometimes we also associate the application of hyaluronic acid in these areas.
The results are produced by a decrease of the vaginal introitus favoring friction, rejuvenating and lubricating the genitals, obtaining a positive effect in the sexual act.

The face begins to show signs of aging when wrinkles become more pronounced, the furrows deepen, the branch of the jaw loses definition, the cheekbones lose volume, the neck loses definition and gains volume, the lips become thin and lengthened and the eyelids have bags and excess skin.
When this process begins and its signs are incipient, it is feasible to treat it conservatively or minimally invasively.
If you notice that your face has lost the shape of the oval, that the branch of the maxilla has lost definition and that you have a significant excess of skin and fat on your neck, you probably need a face lift.
face lift
This procedure repositions the structures, the face recovers its oval and the patient gains freshness and youth.
The face and neck lift is performed with local anesthesia and sedation, mostly on an outpatient basis. The approximate time to resume the activity is 10 days.
Generally to achieve a natural, pleasant and harmonious result, the face and neck lift is associated with other procedures such as:
If the patient presents lip, cheek, periorbital wrinkles, it would be indicated to associate treatment with Carbon dioxide laser.
If the patient has a decrease in the forehead and eyebrows, surely a Endoscopic Lifting.
If the grooves that go from the nose to the lip and from the lip to the chin are pronounced, they can be filled (See nasolabial groove filling).
If the neck shows an increase in adipose tissue, laser lipomodeling is performed (See Lipolysis laser).
Face lift Price
The value of the consultation with Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra is U$D 100 . If you later decide to carry out the treatment, this value will be deducted from the total amount.
The cost of face and neck lifting is u$d 8.500 (VAT not included).
Duration of the procedure
The surgery time is approximately 90 minutes. The time of stay in the clinic approximately 6 hours.
This treatment is carried out by Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra in Hoogstra Medical Centers Caballito branch.
Facelift before and after
In these patients we can see how the replacement of facial structures provides harmony, youth and beauty to the face. The results are natural because the only thing that is sought is to recover its previous state.
In the following example, in the pre-treatment image, it is shown how in the aging process, facial structures are losing definition and the face takes on the appearance of a square rather than an oval.
The oval is youth, the square shows us the laxity of the superficial and deep structures and the displacement of these tissues from the face to the neck. In the postoperative photo the patient recovers the shape of the oval. This is accomplished through a replacement of the superficial (skin) and deep facial structures (muscles and fascia).
In the following photos, a face and neck lift and laser lipo of the maxilla and neck were performed on the patient. We can observe the naturalness of the result and the absence of visible scars. No filling of the nasal lip grooves was performed, which would have further improved the result obtained.
In most of these patients, filling of the nasolabial and chin grooves was also performed. In the aging process, most of the structures of the face move downwards, while the facial centers deepen, this is caused by reabsorption of the bones.
It is for this reason that most of the time we do a facelift we must use fillers, which can be used many times before surgery to delay the facelift. Sometimes they can be done during the procedure as we did with these patients and other times they are done postoperatively.
A novel non-invasive treatment. Based on the use of focused micro and macro ultrasound Radiofrequency with microneedles of greater depth and energy Associated with facial fillers
