| Is a body remodelling treatment enough to get good results in an overweight patient? |
|
| Obviously NOT. The patient must follow a controlled diet programme with a nutritionist and eventually with an endocrinologist to rule out any pathology which may affect our health. |
|
| How long is the recovery period after having breast implants? |
|
| If it is implanted retroglandular, it takes approximately 3 days; if it is retromuscular, around one week. |
|
| What life span do breast implants have |
|
| The suppliers give a span of 11 years. Actually, it is not like that. They last much longer and a change is made only if there is a continuous/repeated complication.

|
| Liposuctions: How long does the post-surgical recovery take? |
|
| It will depend on the treated area, how many areas are affected and the patient’s tolerance to pain. For instance: a liposuction involving the abdomen, hip and thighs takes about 4 days of recovery. |
|
| Is it possible to have a non-invasive alternative when a patient does not accept facial surgery when treating flaccidity? |
|
| This depends on the level of flaccidity.
Thread lift techniques (using threads), high radiofrequency and different combined medical treatments can be used. Although they do not offer the spectacular result of surgery, they are a valid alternative and always an improvement.
|
|
| Does the Botulinum Toxin generate any inconvenience? |
|
| The small doses used in Cosmetics do not generate any serious collateral side effects. They may produce an allergic reaction because of its protein content, but this is not commonly seen.
|
|
| How long does the Botulinum Toxin effect last? |
|
| From 4 to 6 months. It is ephemeral and the evolution of each patient is unique. Longer periods may be found in some patients because of its continuous use, due to the repeated weakening effect on the muscle. |
|
| ? Are tensing Threads (thread lift techniques) really efficient |
|
| The most important thing is to make a good diagnosis. They must be used in medium facial flaccidity. Their effect is not prolonged but they can be combined with small surgical procedures, which make them more long-lasting. |
