Multiple plastic surgeries
The bodies of both men and women undergo important changes as they age. These include changes to the breast and abdomen after pregnancy, flaccid skin after a significant weight loss (88 to 110 lbs) due to bariatric surgery or simply due to changes to life style. If you relate to any of the previous situations Body Contouring may be suitable for you. In addition to improving your looks by correcting some of the signs of ageing, patients also report increased self esteem and overall happiness following Body Contouring surgery.
It usually consists in two (2) or three (3) procedures performed in one surgical intervention. Body Contouring has been shown not to affect patient’s health when performed by a certified surgical doctor, in an approved clinic and following the recommended recovery guidelines.
Body contouring usually includes the following procedures: tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), liposculpture (buttocks included or not), breast augmentation or reduction. Some cases may include arm lift, thigh lift or neck lift.

International surgical and anesthesiology associations, as well as world protocols have determined five (5) hours as a limit which should not be exceeded for surgeries. With our experienced surgical team we are able to guarantee a procedure time of approximately four (4) hours, giving our patients a safe and carefree experience.

Recovery on average may fluctuate between one (1) to three (3) weeks when patients follow all post-op controls and recommendations.
