In Eyelids

Eyelid surgery before and after

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid operation, is a surgery that seeks to reverse the drooping of the eyelids and may involve removing excess skin, fat and muscle. The latter are usually the reason why the look acquires an aged and tired look.

Over time, the eyelids stretch and the muscles that support them lose firmness. This is why an excess of fat can accumulate in the upper and lower part of the eyelids, causing sagging eyebrows, drooping of the upper eyelids and bags in the lower part of the eyes.

Laser blepharoplasty without surgery

He Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra developed in 1995 a technique that rejuvenates the eyelids using laser technology without surgery, which does not leave scars and does not remove skin. This avoids the unnatural results and complications of conventional surgeries.

SAcar skin of the upper eyelid generates in most patients a drop in the eyebrows, creating a sad, tired and aged look. Eliminate excess Skin and scarring on the lower eyelids produces in many patients functional and unsightly deformations.

Blepharoplasty definitive results

Consists in remove bags from lower eyelids through an incision in the conjunctiva, and on the other hand, that of the upper eyelids Through a small incision in the inner corner of the upper eyelid, it does not require suturing.

Pixel laser for transconjunctival eyelid surgery 

Skin rejuvenation is performed with a fractional micro carbon dioxide laser (Pixel) . This tool has a skin analyzer that allows us to adapt the parameter to each type of skin. Transconjunctival laser-assisted blepharoplasty prevents drying of the skin and many of the unwanted effects seen with the conventional technique. This laser-assisted intervention rejuvenates the eyelids, preserving normal anatomy and leaving a natural, youthful look and without surgical stigmas.

Opinions and experiences

Why do patients prefer this technique? Very simple, recovery is much faster and less painful because:

  1. Leaves no scars.
  2. It does not damage muscle structures like the conventional technique does.
  3. Always natural result.
  4. Less edema.
  5. Fewer bruises.
  6. Quick labor and social reintegration.
  7. It does not lower the position of the eyebrows as the conventional technique does.
  8. Rejuvenates the expression of the gaze.

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.🤗🤗🤗🤗

Laser vs conventional blepharoplasty

The laser technique developed by Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra turns out to be much more effective than the traditional technique. At a recent congress in Rosario, Santa Fe province, Dr. Hoogstra explained the differences.Anesthesia

The intervention is performed with local anesthesia and sedation. The patient wakes up immediately after completing the procedure and retires to his home a few hours later.  All interventions are performed with local anesthesia and sedation, which provides safety and comfort. Sedation is performed by the anesthesia manager at Hospital Fernández or another doctor on his team.

Duration of the procedure

The residence time in the Clinic is approximately 3 to 4 hours. The duration of procedure is approximately 30 minutes. Surgery and postoperative are not painful. This surgery, in addition to leaving no visible scars, produces fewer edema and bruising than traditional eyelid surgery. Patients traveling from the interior of the country or from abroad must be the day before surgery and may return 48 or 72 hours after surgery. Patients from all over the world travel to Argentina to undergo surgery with Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra.

Postoperative blepharoplasty

  • Postoperative without pain. Some discomfort can be felt, both in the affected area and some conjunctivitis or dry eyes, but never pain.
  • Without scar. Laser blepharoplasty does not require sutures or dressings, so there is no scar and recovery is instantaneous.
  • Immediate results. You can resume normal activities the day after surgery. The definitive results of blepharoplasty are visible practically from the first moment, so that a few days after eyelid surgery the patient can check his new appearance and return to normal life as normal.

Surgery of droopy eyelids before and after

It is very important that you take a few minutes and see them. You are wanting to have nothing more and nothing less than your eyelids, the central elements of facial beauty, the expression of the gaze and vital elements for the occlusion and protection of your eyes.

Lichen sclerosus or scleroatrophic

It is a rare disease that creates white spots on the skin, which becomes thinner than normal. It is a chronic inflammatory skin pathology, which mainly affects women in the vulvar and perianal area. In the case of men, it is usually located in the foreskin and the glans. The age of onset is variable and may appear at any time (including children's age), although it is more frequent in older ages.

What areas does it affect?

Lichen sclerosus can affect the skin of any part of the body. However, it most often attacks the vulva, the foreskin of the penis, or the skin around the anus. It is not a contagious disease.

Causes

Its cause is not well known, it may be due to an overactive immune system or previous damage to the skin. This condition commonly occurs in postmenopausal women, although cases are also reported in men and children. In women, lichen sclerosus et atrophicus usually affects the vulva. In boys and men, who are not circumcised, the risk of suffering from this disease increases, since it generally affects the foreskin.

Symptoms

One of the symptoms of Lichen is pain during sexual intercourse, itching, fissures, blisters. It can produce scars that narrow the vaginal opening. It is very frequent that the patients who suffer from lichen suffer alterations of the desire and the possibility of having sexual relations.

Treatment for vulvar or perianal lichen sclerosus

He Dr Ricardo Hoogstra performs a treatment at the Caballito branch in the surgical area Carbon dioxide laser both inside the vagina and the external genital area. This treatment is associated with the application of a large quantity of plasma enriched in platelets.

The combination of the Aphrodite Laser plus rich plasma produces a repairing and rejuvenating effect of the treated area. Treatment with Carbon Dioxide Laser in conjunction with the application of platelet-enriched plasma increases vascularity, elasticity and trophism of the affected tissue.

We consider that before or at the same time of performing this treatment it is convenient to perform biopsies to confirm through histopathological studies that what we are really treating is a Scleroatrophic Lichen. This procedure is performed under sedation and the patient must carry out previous studies. It is ambulatory and effective.

Lichen Sclerosus Treatment Price

The cost of the intervention is made with prior evaluation of the Dr. Hoogstra. The query value is U$D 100 which are reimbursed in the total amount of the procedure.

Procedures facilities and security

In addition to having state-of-the-art medical equipment, we have a complete surgical unit and recovery and hospitalization rooms. The modern surgical room It is equipped with high-level technology and assisted by nurses and instructors specialized in this type of intervention.

Umbilical or inverted nipples

The normal nipple projects approximately 1 cm from the areolar skin. We call flat, inverted, retracted and umbilicated nipples, to those nipples that do not have the usual conical shape projected outward.

Difference between retracted and inverted nipple

Usually both terms are used interchangeably, however the differentiation is important, since inverted nipples are generally benign. Technically it is called an inverted nipple when the nipple is completely inward of the breast. Instead, "retracted" is used when the subsidence is partial.

How to verify it?

To verify how your nipples are you can look at yourself in front of a mirror, if they protrude approximately one centimeter they are normal. Place your index finger and thumb on the areola and perform gentle massages, if the nipple is projected forward it is a sign of normality, in case this does not happen, it is possible that your nipple is flat. On the other hand, if by massaging the areola the nipple is dipped into the areolar skin, you have an inverted nipple.

Types of retracted nipples

umbilical retracted nipple

  • The flat nipples they do not protrude from the areola nor do they protrude outward when stimulated.
  • The sunken nipples they retract backwards, in the shape of a navel, when they are stimulated.
  • The inverted nipples or umbilicated nipples They occur between 5% and 10% of women, they are also frequent in men.

Causes

The causes are congenital due to a shortening of the ducts and fibrotic bands of the breast from birth, or acquired after mastitis, surgery or breast cancer.

Inverted nipple treatment

He Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra Make an incision below the nipple and cut the fibers that pull it inward.
After the release of the nipple some points are made to keep it in its new position and achieve a permanent result.
This is a minimally invasive procedure, it does not leave scars, it is ambulatory and immediate recovery.

Results before and after

Treatment price

The cost of surgery for an umbilicated nipple is u$d 800 (IVA no incluido)

The surgery of the two umbilicated nipples is u$d 1200 (VAT not included)

In Lips, NON-SURGICAL FACIAL REJUVENATION

Lips

How can we get lips that look natural and sensual?

Lack of volume, shape and wrinkles are the main aesthetic problems of the lips.

Treatment

Fillers are the simplest tool with the shortest recovery time to give them shape and volume and reduce wrinkles. It is important, however, that the treating physician has knowledge of the different types of existing filler materials, ability to apply them and great aesthetic sensitivity.

Facial fillers: What you need to know before doing a treatment

At Hoogstra Medical Centers, the placement of fillers and the application of botulinum toxin (like all surgeries) are performed by Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra.

Two types of flashing are used in our medical centers:

  1. Autologous, fat autograft of the patient himself.
  2. Heterologous or synthetic, of which uses only hyaluronic acids such as Restylane (from the Galderma laboratory) and Voluma (from the Allergan laboratory).

Unfortunately, many patients come to our Centers reporting that they placed hyaluronic acid, and when asked how long it took since the placement, many times indicate a much longer time than they last in the body.

 

Restylane has an average duration of 14 months. Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra uses it for wrinkle fillers and facial grooves. Voluma has a much longer duration and is used to model cheekbones, chin, tear canal and maxillary branch.

Currently, unfortunately, some medical and non-medical professionals continue to make fillers with prohibited products such as silicones. This leads to great physical deformations, damage to the health and psyche of the patient. This damage is permanent and irreversible. Silicones migrate and produce those typical facial and lip deformations.

If you see a deformed lip or a deformed face, it is very likely that a prohibited product has been placed on it.
Hyaluronic acids and botulinum toxin should be applied exclusively by plastic surgeons who have a greater understanding of the anatomy of the body.

The application should be done slowly and progressively so that the patient is accompanying the subtle changes that occur.

If the procedure is performed in this way, the results should always be natural and the patient would notice an improvement immediately after application.

In our center it is very rare to see a hypercorrection, but if this were to occur, first you have to wait about 30 days because it is probably a small inflammation, which is based on soft massages that the same patient performs.

In our Centers there are only two brands that give us maximum security and they are Restylane (Galderma) and Voluma (Allergan).

What is hyaluronidase?

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme, a catalyst, that breaks the hyaluronic acid molecule and breaks it down, leading to its reabsorption and disappearance.

How long does it work?

A frequently asked question is how long does the product take to reabsorb?
As long as a second session is not required, the product will disappear in less than 24 hours.

Lip Filler Treatment Cost

La aplicación de una ampolla de Ácido Hialurónico en labios tiene un costo de $155.000.

Lips aesthetics is performed by Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra in the 3 branches.

In Actinic keratoses, seborrheic

Seborrheic keratoses, solar keratoses, senile keratoses.

They are benign tumors of the skin surface. The condition usually appears after age 40. They appear with age and appear more frequently. It forms in areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, scalp, back of the hands or chest.

They are thick, scaly patches on the skin. People can mistake them for warts. It has a color that goes from light brown to brown or black, its shape can be round or oval. They generally increase in size and number as you get older.

In a low percentage it can turn into cancer. It is convenient to remove them, this provides an aesthetic improvement and we make sure that they do not become malignant.

In our 3 centers we have laser technology and dermatologists specialized in this type of treatment. The cost will vary in the amount of injuries that the patient presents.

If the patient has many injuries, they are usually removed progressively. The patient does not feel pain during the treatment and once finished it is possible to continue with the normal life.

Clinical picture

Actinic keratoses develop most commonly in the parts of the body that are most exposed to the sun, such as the face, ears, neck, hands, or forearms.
They are usually painless but can be irritated and itchy. Keratosis presents clinically as rough, scaly patches or lesions.
These spots or lesions are not carcinogenic, but if left untreated they can potentially develop into a serious type of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma.

Frequent questions

  • What are the symptoms of actinic keratosis?
    Actinic keratosis looks like a pink, brown, or same-colored spot of the skin but is bulky and rough to the touch.
  • What causes actinic keratosis?
    The biggest cause of actinic keratosis is too much sun exposure (natural light like the sun, or artificial light like that of the solarium).
  • Who is at risk of getting actinic keratosis?
    It is more frequent in patients with fair skin, blue eyes of middle age or older who have had a lot of sun exposure.
  • How is actinic keratosis diagnosed?
    People who are at risk of having any skin disorder should check their skin regularly. If you notice any persistent lumps or spots of unusual color, texture, shape, or size, you need to contact a doctor or dermatologist. Other worrying signs are pimples that don't heal or anything else that bleeds easily. The doctor will likely biopsy the skin by removing part or all of the lump to check for cancer cells.
  • How is actinic keratosis treated?
    In most cases, actinic keratosis can be treated and cured. The result is more favorable if the disease is detected in its early stages. Treatment options include the following:

    • Topical creams or lotions
    • Cryosurgery (freeze it)
    • Electro-surgery (use of an electric current)

Treatment

Our Centers are equipped with the most advanced technology. The most modern treatment today is the exfoliation with the Lotus II Laser, Erbium micro fractionated. It is painless, fast, does not leave scars and the patient immediately continues his social activity.
It does not require the use of anesthesia of any kind, since the laser impact on the tissue is so fast that it does not cause pain or discomfort, allowing the treatment of multiple and large lesions.

 

How can actinic keratosis be prevented?

The best way to prevent actinic keratosis is to reduce sun exposure, especially during the hours when the sun is at its highest and the light is most intense. Some tips to keep in mind:
• Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and a hat to protect areas of the skin that may be exposed to the sun.
• Apply sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher at least 30 minutes before going outside. A broad spectrum sunscreen is recommended to protect the skin from both A and B ultraviolet rays.
• Avoid tanning by staying in the sun or using solariums; it is preferable to use self-tanning products
