Reconstructive cosmetic surgeries

Face lift (face and neck)

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:

Face lift Price

The cost of face and neck lifting is u$d 6,500 (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.

Bichectomy – Bichat Fat Bags

Clinical picture

Bichat fat bags are a fatty accumulation located on the inside of the cheek. They are located between the masseter muscle and the buccinator muscle, on both sides of the face.

Bichat fat bags are a fatty tissue that is free and can be removed easily.
In some patients these fat bags are very large giving a very round face and a very bulky cheek.

These bulging cheeks give the appearance of being overweight and cause a blurring of bone structures, with the prominence of cheekbones, chin and maxillary branch giving greater definition and beauty to the face.

A round face at first glance suggests an excess of adiposity in other parts of the body.
This volume of fat has no relation to the weight of the patient, it is due more to a heredofamiliar and racial constitution. There are thin patients who have bulky cheeks and vice versa.

The reduction of Bichat's fat balls seeks a sharper, more defined face, which forms a gap between the malar bone and the branch of the maxilla.

What does bichectomy consist of?

This surgery seeks to beautify the face and at the same time that it is in accordance with the rest of the body.

It can be performed as a single procedure or associated with filling the cheekbones, chin or maxillary branch and often with a non-surgical facelift with microfocalized ultrasound.

Clinical picture

Ectropion is an alteration in the position of the eyelids in which it everts and moves away from the eyeball, in such a way that the inner surface (conjunctiva) is exposed. In most patients, ectropion occurs on the lower eyelid.

Symptoms

Dry and painful eye, tearing, redness of the eyelid, conjunctivitis.

Causes

It occurs in elderly patients, due to a weakness of the myoneural plate of the orbicularis oculi muscle.
It is also seen very frequently in eyelid surgeries that dry out the skin and approach the adipose bags through the orbicularis oculi muscle.
Other causes are facial paralysis, burn sequelae, etc.

Complications

If ectropion is not resolved in time, corneal ulcers and eye infections can occur, both of which can affect vision.

Prevention

Perform aesthetic surgeries that do not cause damage to the orbicularis oculi muscle and, if possible, do not dry out the skin of the eyelid.

Treatment

An ophthalmological assessment by a lacrimal duct specialist is recommended to determine their status prior to surgery. In some cases, lacrimal duct intubation with silicone stents may be necessary.

These procedures are performed under local anesthesia and sedation, so the patient can go home that same day. The duration of the procedure is approximately 30 minutes. The stitches are usually removed between 10 and 14 days after surgery. The first 48 to 72 hours there is usually edema and hematoma in the periocular region that improves with local cold and rest.

Increasing of buttocks

Auto graft of fat in the buttocks. It is a procedure designed to increase and give volume, roundness and projection to the buttocks.

Buttock augmentation is a procedure that reshapes and improves the shape of the gluteal area, providing a profile of the raised and projected buttock.

The buttocks are one of the most attractive parts of the female body. In the past ten years, this procedure has become increasingly popular worldwide as well-shaped buttocks are a symbol of femininity and sensuality.

The gluteal fat grafting improves the balance of the figure and molds the body contour, producing an effect in increasing self-esteem and self-confidence.

Intervention

The most frequent method to shape the buttocks is through the fat obtained from the patient's own body. This procedure is a good alternative for its safety and optimal results, in order to obtain the desired harmony.

Reasons to consider a buttock augmentation treatment

  • Lack of volume or buttocks too small for your body structure.
  • Buttock shape too flat and without curves.
  • Flaccidity due to weight loss or aging.
  • If the clothes and swimsuits do not fit correctly in your figure.

Lipo fat transfer or auto grafting in the gluteal region produces results that are immediately visible, although the definitive results must be evaluated at 6 months.

We can obtain naturally rounded buttocks both in texture and appearance.

In order to carry out an adequate fat auto graft in the gluteal region, it is essential that the patient has abundant fat in the abdomen and lower limbs.
