Although the motivation to undergo an aesthetic surgery is very personal, there are external factors that undoubtedly play a role. One such factor is the current societal focus on youth, where a young and dynamic physical appearance is essential to compete on equal professional terms. Similarly, a good physical appearance holds significant importance in social and romantic relationships. Fashion also plays a role, as it now emphasizes greater exposure of the body and adheres to a specific standard of beauty.
The patient must have a clear and realistic understanding of the goals that can be achieved through Aesthetic Surgery, as well as its limitations and risks, in order to make an informed decision. Plastic Surgery outcomes depend not only on the surgeon’s experience and skill but also on the patient’s own healing and scarring capabilities. Additionally, as with any other type of surgery, complications may arise, such as bleeding, infections, or abnormal scarring, as well as anesthetic-related issues, whether local, regional, or general (e.g., allergies, cardiovascular or respiratory problems). However, statistically, the overall rate of complications is extremely low, partly because this type of surgery is typically not intracavitary (involving the cranial, thoracic, or abdominal areas), requires less deep anesthesia, and is generally performed on healthy patients.
Before the surgery, the following will be carried out: a medical history review, a preoperative study (blood tests, X-rays, electrocardiogram, photographs, etc.).
Only doctors who certify that they hold the Title of Specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery have the professional training that provides the patient with optimal healthcare quality.
