There is always some risks involved, but we take all the procedures to soften them, through evaluation and preoperative tests, control measures and treatment of pre-existing conditions. Also, the procedures are performed in appropriate environments, using the adequate surgical materials. To avoid problems at the postoperative phase, it is very important for the patient to strictly followall medical guidelines.

For the vast majority of surgeries, there is no contraindication or major danger. But in case of plastic, it is very important to have an extra care for weight control in a post-pregnancy phase. Alsotake care of the skin andphysical exercises (if specified by the doctor). It is also important to have a strict prenatal!

The pain is subjective and varies according to the individuality of each patient. Usually plastic surgery is not painful. The medications prescribed postoperatively are usually sufficient to control the pain.

Currentlyused techniques for plastic mammary do not affect breast feeding.

Some surgeries cause changes in sensitivity, in most cases due to swelling. With postoperative, reduced swelling and scarring, over time the sensitivity will come back to normal. This occurs at varying periods, depending on the patient, surgical technique and enough care at the postoperative.

The duration depends on size: the type of surgery and the technique used. During consult with doctors, we can only estimate the amount of time needed after detailed physical examination.

The anesthesia varies: it may be local with sedation, epidural with sedation or general.

Lymphatic drainage is indicated to assist in scarring and absorption of the swelling. It is always oriented in the postoperative period of surgical liposuction, abdomen, breasts, face, prostheses and others.

The surgical mesh, usually worn after surgery, should be continuously worn, in other words, 24 hours a day during the first month. On the second and third postoperative month, we recommend wearing the mesh during daytime.

The sun should be avoided as it swells and stains. Therefore, we suggest avoiding sun exposure for three months.

Scarring depends on each patient. There are patients who have barely noticeable scars, others may develop pathologic scars such as keloids (thick and painful scars), which is not very common. It is very important to make a rigorous postoperative follow-up, following all the medical instructions and scheduled returns for reassessment
