Can you speed up your recovery after plastic surgery?
It is very normal for patients to have doubts about the things they should take into account in order to shorten the recovery time after surgery. Especially because they desire to return as soon as possible to their normal activities, such as going to work or resuming their gym routine. However, it is usually very difficult to get an accurate recovery time, since it is a process that depends a lot on the kind of procedure, in addition to some other factors that can make this process faster or slower, depending on the circumstance, there are still some things that can help the patient recover sooner. Tips to follow after plastic surgery As we said before, the recovery process may take a different amount of time for each patient. However, there are simple things that patients can try to strengthen their body day by day in order to recover faster. Follow your doctor’s instructions It may sound very obvious, but the truth is that not all patients follow the plastic surgeon’s instructions, making their recovery more difficult. The doctor will indicate which medications patients can take after surgery, as well as the supplements, the food they can eat and the movements they can do. It is also important to talk to the surgeon if you are taking medications or following a diet outside of your instructions. This could be counterproductive for a favorable recovery. Be active It is true that after a plastic surgery Tijuana the patient must rest for a few days, but this does not mean that the whole recovery process must be in bed. Getting up and moving around can be of great help, since you will have a better circulation, reducing swelling and improving recovery. It is only necessary to remember keeping harmony and taking things calmly, since it is not advisable to exaggerate with the movement. The most advisable is to consult with the plastic surgeon what things you can do and after what time. Having support Usually, after plastic surgery, patients need the support of a family member or friend. That is because they cannot perform some activities on their own, such as bathing, cleaning the house, taking care of the children, taking care of the pets or any other task. Having someone who can do the housework, in addition to lightening the load, will be of great help to accompany you in the postoperative period. Do not smoke You have probably already heard that smoking can be counterproductive at the time of surgery, that is why it is usually requested that the patient stops smoking. In some cases, it is advisable to stop smoking at least a few weeks before the procedure is performed; however, it is not recommended to resume smoking after the surgery. Waiting until after the surgery to resume smoking is a bad idea, since smoking can inhibit the body’s ability to recover. In other words, it will take much longer and be much more complicated for patients to recover if they are smoking, and complications may even occur. Eat healthy It is true that this may seem obvious and may sound very simple, but food and natural water can play a very important role. During the recovery process it will be of great help to keep a healthy and balanced diet, in addition to maintaining good hydration, as it optimizes the body’s recovery. On the other hand, the consumption of processed foods, sugary drinks or foods containing a large amount of salt and sugar is not recommended. The main reason for this is that they can negatively influence the body’s recovery process, affecting its proper functioning. In case you like caffeine or alcoholic beverages, you should know that you will also have to avoid them to avoid complications. Keep your appointments It can be said that follow-up visits with the plastic surgeon are mandatory if you want to verify that everything is fine. It is in these reviews that the plastic surgeon or someone from his team, verifies that there is no abnormality in the treated area and that it is healing properly. During these appointments, in addition to preventing complications, patients have the opportunity to clarify any doubts they may have with the surgeon. They can discuss important things about recovery and how long to wait before resuming exercise or other activities that may be tiring. Don’t hesitate to ask All questions are important as well as the concerns that a patient may develop, that is why you do not need to wait for your appointment to talk. You can consult your plastic surgeon at any time and solve all your doubts and concerns about plastic surgery. Also, in case you feel any discomfort or pain out of the ordinary, do not hesitate to talk to your plastic surgeon. Being a specialized person, the plastic surgeon will be able to give you all the support you need to make your recovery faster and more effective.

What is the difference between a tummy tuck and liposuction?
There are several procedures that are used today in order to give people an improvement in the contour of their body. Two of the most popular are the tummy tuck and liposuction, while both surgeries may have similar results, they are quite different procedures. Although these procedures are quite popular, it is not uncommon for patients to be unaware of the difference between them. As well as the advantages and disadvantages that can be associated with these procedures, therefore we will try to explain some of the main points about both procedures. Differences between tummy tuck and liposuction? With the passage of time, with bad eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle, it is normal for fat to accumulate in the abdominal area. The problem with this area of the body, is that it is usually very difficult to work, so that in many occasions a single aesthetic procedure won’t give the desired results. In these cases it may be necessary to combine more than one procedure, exercise and follow a balanced diet. Liposuction Characteristics Liposuction is a procedure whose main objective is to remove excess fat from certain areas of the body. So it is not only used to try to improve the physical appearance of the abdomen, it can also be used in the legs, hips and buttocks, all depending on the patient’s needs. Although we usually think of problems such as obesity when talking about liposuction, in reality it is usually requested by all types of people. Since the plastic surgeon can reshape the patient’s body in a relatively simple way, in addition the recovery time is not usually very long. Usually this procedure lasts between 1 and 4 hours approximately and has the advantage that it does not tend to leave any kind of scar on the body. This characteristic is very important for people, since it is not always easy to process the idea that the skin will be left with marks after the surgery. As with other procedures, not everyone is a candidate for liposuction, so it is necessary to have an evaluation consultation before scheduling it. The recovery process varies in each case, but it is normally quite fast. Tummy tuck characteristics The tummy tuck also known as abdominoplasty is another cosmetic procedure that can help improve the appearance of the abdomen. Through this cosmetic surgery is possible to remove excess fat from the body, but has the characteristic that after the extraction the muscles and skin of the patient are accommodated. It is because of these characteristics that it is usually recommended for men who have lost weight very quickly and for women who have had more than one pregnancy. Sometimes it is also recommended for people who have obesity or overweight problems. Once the surgery is finished, drainage tubes are placed under the skin, so that the fluids can drain out without problems. These tubes must be used during the first days after the surgery to prevent the wound from filling with fluids and to allow it to heal correctly and in a shorter time. Another thing done is the placement of a special elastic bandage, which helps the patient’s skin to adapt. Unlike liposuction, there are several tissues that are compromised during the surgery, so it must be performed with the highest technology and only by expert hands. One of the priorities after surgery is that the patient begins to resume his activities as soon as possible. So once the recommended resting time is over, the patients are expected to return to normal activities. What do I need to know about these procedures? Both liposuction and tummy tuck Tijuana are aesthetic procedures that can help the patient to have a more aesthetic abdomen. But for these procedures to have better results, it is advisable to have a weight closer to the ideal before performing them, otherwise it will be more complicated. In the case of being a smoker or smoking very often, it is recommended to quit smoking completely, since smokers have more risks. It is possible that problems may occur during the healing process due to the effects of smoking, so to avoid risks it is necessary not to do it during the recovery time. Exercising and keeping a good diet after the surgery will be of great help to ensure that the abdominal fat does not come back again. In addition, these habits will also help the results to be better. Always seeking professionals should be a priority, but it is not always easy to choose a clinic. That is why it is recommended to see before and after images of some of the patients who have been treated at the clinic, as well as the testimonials that are available about these procedures. Another thing to take into account is that a certified plastic surgeon performs the surgery, otherwise it can be counterproductive. In Mexico there are hundreds of plastic surgeons specialized in this kind of services, so you will always be able to find an expert who can help you. At the Centro de Cirugía Plástica Clínica Renueva we offer a wide variety of procedures that you can undergo to improve your aesthetics. We know how important it can be for a person to look good, because that way you can gain more confidence and self-esteem, that’s why we offer quality treatments at affordable prices.

How long does a tummy tuck hurt?
Procedures such as tummy tuck surgery have become an alternative for hundreds of women seeking to recover their silhouette after pregnancy, because it has the advantage of minimizing the abdominal area, it can also be easily adapted to the needs of the patient, since it is not only one procedure, but several. However, despite the benefits of this procedure, there are many people who decide not to continue due to doubts about the recovery process, because the idea that it will be long, difficult and very painful is usually quite ingrained, but fortunately this is not necessary. How is the recovery process? First of all, it must be taken into account that there are a series of procedures in which the skin, muscles and fat of the abdomen are worked on. Also, since each surgery is adapted to the needs of each patient, the procedure employed is different for each person. Taking that into account we can say that the recovery can be very different in each patient, in some cases it will be faster and in others slower, in addition each of these procedures has characteristics that must be taken into account when preparing for the postoperative period. Hospital admission Although this may vary depending on the type of procedure performed and the clinic where the surgery was performed, the most common is for the patient to be hospitalized from 2 to 4 days, in addition, a special girdle will be placed, which helps protect the wound and prevents the accumulation of fluid. They are also usually given compression stockings and a container that helps the blood to drain. Full rest In order for the recovery process to be easier and more effective, it is recommended for patients to rest for the first 10 days; however, full recovery may take approximately 2 months. During this time it is important to maintain a correct sleeping posture, otherwise pain may arise. Walking The way the patient walks is also affected because it is necessary to avoid popping the stitches, in these cases it is best to walk slowly and gradually, then as the recovery progresses, the patient will be able to walk more normally. Hygiene It is true that keeping a good hygiene is necessary to avoid problems during recovery; however, it is not recommended to take a complete bath during the time you will be wearing the girdle; at this stage, sponge baths are the most advisable. How long does a tummy tuck hurt? The pain felt after a tummy tuck surgery varies greatly for each person, as it depends on many things such as the way the patient is feeling, the type of procedure that is chosen and the way the patient decides to go through their recovery process. Usually, the severe pain of a tummy tuck Tijuana only lasts for the first few days, after which it begins to decrease to mild discomfort, although in some cases a pain pump is also used, which is a tool that is inserted at the end of the procedure while the patient is still in the operating room. The pain pump dispenses anesthesia in a controlled manner, delivering it to the incision area so that pain can be relieved. Although pain after surgery is normal, if the pain is unbearable, analgesics are usually recommended, but as with the pain pump, the length of time of use is something to be evaluated by the physician. When should I worry? Even if the surgery is a success, sometimes during recovery situations may arise that worsen the patient’s health. Some of these complications are breathing problems, elevated temperature higher than 38ºC, intense pain that does not go away with medication and symptoms of infection. Strange fluids and blood stains in the wound can also be a sign that something is not going well during the recovery process. In these cases and when in doubt, the most advisable thing to do is to consult the doctor and follow the recommendations strictly in order to prevent the wound from becoming infected. To avoid the creation of clots after surgery, as well as other problems that may affect the patient’s recovery, one of the things that are usually recommended is to start as soon as possible to resume daily activities, but this should be done gradually and following the doctor’s instructions. Things you should know It is from the 5th week that it is usually recommended to start resuming activities again, but this has to be if the surgeon approves it. After the surgery the surgeon should see you periodically to follow up your case, that way it will be easier to verify that your progress is progressing properly. The scar that remains after a tummy tuck will begin to lighten with the passage of time, however, it is permanent, so it is important to take this into account before deciding to have a tummy tuck. At Clínica Renueva we work with various procedures that help to improve a person’s aesthetics.

Is a tummy tuck worth it?
It is true that most people dream of having a flat abdomen, that helps to show a slim silhouette and that at the same time is toned. In some cases eating a healthy diet and exercising is more than enough to achieve this goal, but in others, it is necessary to resort to a tummy tuck. Compared to other procedures that remove excess fat from the abdomen, the tummy tuck is one of the least aggressive. That is why in a short time it has gained great popularity and more people are increasingly willing to resort to it, but is it really worth it? Is the tummy tuck worth it? If you are thinking about having this procedure, you should know several things about it and how it can change your life. Although it is a fairly safe procedure, it is also true that all surgical procedures carry some risk, so it is necessary to have information that can help you decide. You will continue exercising Sometimes people think that after having a tummy tuck, or any other aesthetic surgery, it will no longer be necessary to exercise. That is not the case, in fact, it is usually recommended to have a balanced diet and exercise before the surgery because that way it is easier to correct the flaccidity. In addition, it is also recommended to continue with a good diet and exercise after recovering from the surgery. Because even though the surgery is effective, if bad habits are maintained, it is possible for the patients to return to a situation similar to the one they had before the procedure. Will it take me a long time to return to my activities? Actually, one of the main advantages of the tummy tuck Tijuana, is that local anesthesia can be used, or depending on the case, intravenous sedation. This is one of the things that makes it easier for the patient to return home in less time, compared to the period they must spend in the hospital when other types of surgeries are performed. Usually, the patient can resume normal activities after the first three days. But this is something that depends on each case, it is also necessary that the patient continues to use the girdle, the time indicated by the doctor, and go to their reviews. As for exercise, it is generally necessary for the patient to wait longer because although recovery is fast, it takes time. Results are not seen immediately One of the most common ideas regarding aesthetic procedures is to believe that the results can be seen on the same day. In reality, although there are procedures in which this happens, in the case of surgical procedures this is not the case, because the skin swells and needs some recovery time. In the case of a procedure such as a tummy tuck, it is after 21 days that you begin to notice the results because the swelling decreases. But to have a clear idea of what the final results will be, it is necessary to wait for three months to pass, because it is then that it can be seen perfectly. It’s not for everyone So far we have talked about some of the most common reasons people decide to skip the tummy tuck. However; you may decide whether or not it is really worth it, after knowing that not everyone may be a candidate to undergo this procedure. In reality, although it is a fairly safe and also very popular procedure, it is recommended for people who are slim. In other words, people who just need a little extra help in order to achieve a flat, flab-free abdomen that is aesthetically more appealing. It is not recommended for people who are overweight or have obesity problems, and it is necessary to be in good health to perform the procedure. So even if you are thin, you may not necessarily be a candidate, that is why surgeons usually request various types of analysis. You may need assistance Although compared to other surgeries, this is a minimally invasive procedure, the truth is that in the first few days, it may be difficult to perform normal activities. Therefore, it is recommended that you have the support of a person to perform daily activities. You must follow the instructions Patients must follow the doctor’s instructions strictly, otherwise, they risk a delayed recovery. Even if the doctor’s recommendations are not followed, patients run the risk of developing problems that may affect their recovery. Which are the benefits? A procedure such as a tummy tuck can have several benefits: both physical and psychological for the patients. This is because it improves their physical appearance, and at the same time, their confidence levels increase, so patients feel more encouraged and enthusiastic. Even so, it is important to remember that although this procedure can be of great help for the patients to achieve their aesthetic goals, it won’t solve everything. It is necessary to eat a balanced diet and exercise to keep the body healthy. Where can I get treated? In case you have decided to undergo an aesthetic surgery such as a tummy tuck, you may have noticed that outside of Mexico, it is usually a very expensive procedure. That is why many tourists decide to travel to cities like Tijuana to get treated. If this is your case, you should know that at Renueva, you are in good hands.

What Are the Advantages and Disadvantages of a Tummy Tuck?
Procedures such as the tummy tuck have become more and more requested in recent years, because for many people it is the solution they were looking for. Its popularity is due, among other things, to the fact that it can correct common conditions such as abdominal skin and flabby muscles, but it also has disadvantages. In reality, any cosmetic surgery has advantages and disadvantages that can affect the patient, therefore it is necessary to be aware of this before deciding to undergo one. This way, by having a clear idea about the pros and cons, you can clear your doubts and make an easier decision. Which are the main advantages of the tummy tuck? Undoubtedly one of the most significant advantages of the tummy tuck Tijuana, is that compared to other similar surgeries, it is simpler. This helps the recovery time to be shorter, and the patients can resume their activities with less difficulty. It is painless Another advantage of this procedure is that compared to similar ones, it is not as painful, largely due to advances in medical equipment. Although it is true that most patients should be kept overnight for observation to prevent any complications. It can improve your self-esteem Sometimes the perception that each person has about their body is not very good, you can even say that there is some discomfort with the way they look. Unfortunately, exercise and a good diet do not always work, so by undergoing a tummy tuck they can see a radical change in their body. This makes them feel more satisfied with their physical appearance, and at the same time improves the perception they have about themselves. Removes loose skin A very common problem in people who had overweight or obesity problems and managed to lose weight quickly, is loose skin. In these cases exercise does not always help, it is necessary to undergo plastic surgery. Results are seen in a short time Once the swelling has passed, the patient can begin to see the changes, and in most cases the results are permanent. Although it is always recommended to eat healthy and exercise regularly in order to maintain a stable weight. A more aesthetic silhouette The surgery can help you to have a slimmer, firmer and more aesthetic abdomen, suitable to your body type. That is why it is one of the most popular procedures among women who have had more than one pregnancy. Removes hernias and stretch marks One of the main advantages of the tummy tuck is that if necessary, it can be employed to remove hernias and stretch marks. This is of great help especially for women who have problems due to stretch marks left after pregnancy. Can be affordable Usually cosmetic surgeries are quite expensive, especially if you do not have insurance coverage. In contrast, Tijuana is one of the cities that has more aesthetic medical tourism, partly because of the prices that are usually handled, which tend to be less expensive than in the United States. Even so, the most advisable thing to do is to look for a good clinic and not be guided only by the accessible prices. Which are the disadvantages of a tummy tuck? To answer this question, let’s start by clarifying that all surgical procedures carry some risk. So it is always advisable to consult a professional, in case you have already made the decision to have this procedure done. Some of the most common risks are: excessive bleeding, wound infection, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. It can’t transform you Sometimes people think that with cosmetic surgery they can solve all their problems and concerns, but this is not so. Therefore, it is necessary to have realistic expectations about the results that will be obtained with this procedure, which is why in order to have a clearer idea, it is necessary to talk to the plastic surgeon. Help will be needed It is possible that during the first weeks you will need help to perform some of your activities, and it is not recommended to make great efforts. For the same reason, you will have to rest at home for a few days. Costs are not covered We have already touched on this subject, but in most cases cosmetic procedures are not covered by a health insurance plan. Thus, the patient will have to cover all his or her expenses and it is important to take into account other costs in addition to the surgery, such as recovery and post-operative care. It may leave a scar Although this may depend on several factors, the truth is that it is a procedure that may leave scars. It is necessary to take this into account before venturing into this procedure. Not everyone is a candidate Unfortunately, not everyone has the right conditions to be a candidate for this surgery.

Why do people go to Tijuana for Plastic Surgery?
It is becoming more frequent to find people that make the decision to modify a part of their physical appearance through plastic surgery. The purpose of this is to feel more comfortable, self-confident and beautiful, since many times there is something they don’t fully like about their body. That is why plastic surgery Tijuana is a highly demanded, but very expensive procedure in most countries. It is also because of this that medical tourism has become so popular in such a short period of time, as every year thousands of people visit other countries in order to undergo some kind of aesthetic procedure. Why undergo surgery in Tijuana? In a very short time Mexico has managed to obtain one of the first places in medical tourism, this is due to the high quality of medical services and its accessible cost. At the same time, within Mexico, Tijuana is one of the most visited cities for medical tourism, the main reasons are the following. Quality hosting One of the things that makes Tijuana an excellent city to undergo any kind of cosmetic surgery is that it has quality lodging. So it doesn’t matter if you don’t have relatives in Tijuana, foreigners can stay in one of the hundreds of hotels there are. In addition, thanks to foreign tourism, more and more hotels are offering their services next to hospitals and clinics. So the patient’s family can stay while the patient is recovering, there are even special hotels for patients to stay after they leave the hospital. A myriad of restaurants In fact, it can be said that there are several restaurant businesses that have decided to take the example of the hotels and place themselves near the clinics. So it is very common that after the patient’s convalescence is over, they try the typical food of Tijuana or even international food. In other words, the gastronomic and leisure businesses are one of the main reasons why every year Tijuana is visited by medical tourism. Good infrastructure In order for a health sector procedure to provide the safety that the patient needs, it is necessary to offer services of the highest quality. This can only be achieved by ensuring advanced technology, qualified surgeons, professional medical staff and adequate medical facilities to provide good services. In that sense, Tijuana Baja California has a great advantage, as more clinics and hospitals are being built and remodeled. So both in new clinics and in those that already have a history, as long as they are professional, the best surgical care and standards of care can be found. Health protocols With the arrival of Covid-19, people around the world had to adapt to what is known as the new normal in order to maintain a life as “normal” as possible, reducing the risk of contagion as much as possible, by means of various hygiene and health protocols. Clinics, hospitals, stores and restaurants follow strict hygiene standards in order to guarantee a safe space for tourists with the best attention. It is even common to see in Tijuana the mandatory use of masks, face shields, antibacterial gel and to follow social distancing and sanitation protocols in any facility, according to the news. Good quality Several of the most important health professionals in Mexico work in Tijuana, so as long as you go to a professional clinic, you can count on the best plastic surgery procedures. Aesthetic procedures such as plastic surgery in Tijuana are much safer than in other cities. It is close to the border The other main reason why tourists choose to travel to Tijuana for treatment is because of its proximity to the United States. This is because it is easy for tourists to cross the border, so they can go back and forth from Mexico to the United States whenever they want or need to go to an appointment. Therefore, they can go to their check ups periodically instead of staying longer than necessary in Mexico. In some cases it is even enough to drive a couple of hours to and from the patient’s home to the clinic to receive the proper medical care after the medical procedure. It is affordable For tourists coming from countries such as the United States and Canada, the prices in Tijuana are usually much more affordable than in their countries. So no matter if you want to have a cosmetic procedure such as liposuction or if you are only interested in a breast lift, the prices are very affordable. Even several cosmetic procedures often cost up to 70% less than what they would normally cost in these countries. So patients have the confidence that in addition to being affordable treatments they are of good quality, so patients can rest assured at all times. How to choose the best service?

How much should you weigh to get a tummy tuck?
Eliminating abdominal fat and excess skin is the goal of many people who have not had the desired results despite exercising and eating a good diet. Thanks to advances in modern medicine, it has been possible to create alternatives that help eliminate localized fat and excess skin in almost any part of the body. It is for this reason that procedures such as the tummy tuck have become so popular, as these have turned into the help that many people need. However, even though it is a very popular cosmetic procedure, it is important to remember that certain requirements must be met in order to perform this cosmetic surgery and one of them is to have an acceptable weight. Things you should know about abdominoplasty Over the years, abdominoplasty has become one of the leading methods for abdomen shaping. That is why it is common to think of it as a quick and very simple procedure to do, but the truth is that it is a major surgical procedure. So, after the surgery the tummy tuck patient usually has to wait several weeks to heal. Recovery time During the intervention, an incision is made from one end of the hip to the other, so recovery can take two to three weeks. During this time it is normal for the patient to experience swelling, moderate pain and exhaustion. Although all these symptoms will diminish as the days go by, it is necessary for the patient to rest for the first few days. It is also advisable to receive help from other people to do daily tasks and to avoid intense physical activity for a few weeks. Which is the indicated weight? We talked before about how weight can play an important role when deciding on a surgical procedure to avoid complications. So depending on how much weight a person has, is that the tummy tuck Tijuana may or may not proceed. The most advisable is for the patient to have been at an adequate weight for twelve to six months, a weight that provides stability. To get a clearer idea, a surgeon usually recommend that the person weighs between 10 and 15 pounds from the goal weight. It is not recommended that the patient gains or loses weight, since this can end up altering the whole process, and the abdominal muscles may not show up. It is also common that when there are fluctuations in weight, the tissues of the abdomen end up stretching, in addition to affecting the contoured shape that was obtained with the surgery. In these cases it is usually necessary to re-evaluate the patient, and if necessary, have another procedure performed. So a healthy lifestyle is absolutely necessary after surgery to maintain the results. Scars may be left Sometimes the patient is unaware that the tummy tuck procedure may leave a scar on the skin, therefore it is important to take that into account. The incision that is made during this procedure will remain marked from one end of the hip to the other, this exactly above the pubic bone. It is true that, with the passage of time, the scar on the skin will begin to fade, but not completely. However, this does not mean that it will be noticeable to the naked eye, as underwear and swimwear can prevent the scar from showing. Surgical drainage In order for the patient to heal properly, one of the things done is placing surgical drains, the patient must use these drains for approximately one to two weeks. It is normal that before the surgery, everything necessary is explained by the surgeon to the patient about the surgical drains and the care they should get. This is done because even though they are temporary, the patient will have to wear them for a long time, and it is difficult to bathe with them. Although the drains are usually removed after a few days, in some cases they must remain longer, it is the surgeon who will decide this. The benefits are noticeable after some time It is common for people to think that the changes that occur with plastic surgeries can be seen immediately, but the truth is that they are not. In reality, the benefits of a surgery like the tummy tuck are seen after several weeks or even a couple of months, this is something that the surgeon must make very clear. In addition, the appearance of bruising and swelling in the body is very common. But the fact that the benefits are seen after a while is only one of the things to take into account, since there are other factors that can be unpleasant. One of these factors is swelling, because although the main discomforts disappear as the days go by, the residual swelling can last up to six months and in some cases longer. Temporary numbness and loss of sensitivity in the area where the incision was made is completely normal, but over time sensitivity will return. So, the patient can rest assured and in case of further doubts, ask the plastic surgeon. In conclusion, the final results of tummy tuck surgery can be seen after a year, though this is something that depends on each person. Health, eating habits and the patient’s weight play a very important role for a successful recovery, and a second plastic surgery is not needed to achieve the ideal weight, and prevent loose skin.

In some cases, it is even recommended that the companion is with the patient during the first days after the plastic surgery procedure. Tips before a tummy tuck surgery If you have any type of medical problem, it is necessary to discuss it in advance with both the family doctor and the plastic surgeon. In this way, they will be able to take the necessary measures to avoid any kind of complication during the surgery, but in some cases, it may be recommended to wait longer to perform it. Talk about your medications Many patients require taking medications or certain vitamins; however, this can be a concern. Some medications, herbal medications, and even some vitamins can become an issue if they are about to have surgery. It is for this reason that the patient is normally asked to discontinue its use approximately two weeks before the procedure is performed. Blood tests are necessary Before doing any kind of cosmetic procedure, patients are asked to undergo a series of studies. It is with the help of these studies that it is possible to know how the patient’s health is, whether he needs any medication, if he has any kind of allergy, etc. If the studies go well, the surgery can be performed as planned from the beginning, but if the patient has a problem, other measures must be taken. In some cases, the plastic surgeon may request additional tests to complement the information that is needed.

How much does a facelift cost in Mexico and what is this procedure about?
It is normal that as time goes by, some changes appear on the face, however, most of the time these changes are due to premature aging. In addition to the passage of time, several reasons can cause the skin to lose elasticity and the first wrinkles begin to appear. The sun, solar cameras, cigarette smoke, and stress are some of them. The situation worsens after the age of forty when the signs of aging become more noticeable. The facelift is an aesthetic procedure that allows reversing this kind of damage. What is it? It is a series of cosmetic procedures that aim to combat the most notable signs of facial aging. To achieve this, minimally invasive surgery is performed, with which wrinkles and imperfections found on the face and part of the neck are removed. This procedure is performed to eliminate wrinkles depending on the type of area that is going to be treated. When what is sought is to raise the drooping eyebrows and at the same time eliminate wrinkles, then a forehead lift is done. The medium-lift is recommended for people who have very sagging cheeks and who also have a lot of fat on their cheekbones. By performing this microsurgery, it is possible to give the face a more refined and youthful appearance, since accumulated fat is removed. Another of the procedures that are most often done is long lifting, with the help of this technique the double chin of the neck can be eliminated. The way these surgeries are performed is through small incisions that are made behind the earlobe, in front of it, or depending on the hairline. Once the incisions are made, the muscles and fat of the face begin to accommodate, then the excess skin is carefully removed. Who are the perfect candidates for this procedure? Facelift, like liposuction in Tijuana, has become one of the most popular aesthetic treatments due to the advantages it can provide. This has made many people decide to have this surgery, however, it is recommended for people 45 years of age and older. In addition to wrinkle removal, this procedure has other benefits. Nowadays, thanks to the advances that have been made in medicine, not only is the skin stretched, with new techniques the underlying structures can be accommodated. So, the face looks naturally rejuvenated, sagging skin problems are corrected, and facial contours are improved. Although this procedure has many advantages, it is necessary to consult a plastic surgeon as it can be an unnecessary surgery on young skin. That is why it is not usually recommended for people under 40 years old. What is done before and after the surgery? Before performing any cosmetic procedure, the patient is given several indications so that he can prepare for the surgery. It is recommended that the patient does not smoke, does not put on make-up before surgery, does not wear contact lenses, and tells the surgeon everything related to allergies they have and the medications they take. Reporting on allergies and medications is of great importance because this way the surgeon will know how to take the necessary measures. Usually, patients can leave the clinic 24 hours after the procedure was performed, however, this is something that may vary depending on each case. It is normal for certain discomfort to occur after the procedure, it is also normal for the skin on the face to feel swollen. During the first days, the patient should take analgesics to reduce the discomfort, it is also recommended that they do not work or do activities that require a lot of effort as this can cause damage to the face. During the first months, the patient must avoid exposing their skin to the sun, as this can damage it. Another thing that must be taken into consideration is food, it is recommended to avoid hot drinks and foods, as well as chewing hard. In this class of procedures, soft foods are usually suggested during the first days to avoid discomfort. How much does a facelift cost? In reality, as it is an intervention that must be done in a personalized way, you cannot have a specific budget. The truth is that the price varies depending on each case since the facial structure is different in each person as well as the goals that they have regarding their appearance. To this must be added other costs such as hospital expenses, operating room, fees for the medical team, and nursing care. In addition to the medication that the patient must take during his convalescence and the city where the procedure will be performed. In Mexico, there are cities like Tijuana that are medical tourism destinations and also have the advantage of having a wide variety of health professionals. Thanks to this, it is much more accessible to request this kind of service, as they are usually cheaper than in other places. Even so, it is necessary to take into consideration that price is not the most important thing since cosmetic procedures with very low prices can be a bad sign.
