The Brazilian Association of Plastic Surgery demystifies issues involving invasive cosmetic procedures
Although it is constantly linked to aesthetics and self-esteem, plastic surgery can be much more. It is no coincidence that this type of intervention is increasingly performed; and Brazil is one of the first in the ranking of plastic surgery.
Despite this, many people are still in doubt whether or not to perform an invasive procedure, mainly because the Internet is full of misinformation about plastic surgery procedures that can cause fear and apprehension in patients.
With the help of BAPS (Brazilian Association of Plastic Surgeons), demystifying issues involving invasive cosmetic procedures, listing important facts and information about plastic surgery. Watch:
Plastic surgery is not just a matter of aesthetics: When it comes to plastic surgery, most people believe that it is only about aesthetic issues that serve to beautify or cure superfluous alterations. However, what few people know is that plastic surgery can also be indicated for the treatment of problems that can directly affect the patient’s quality of life.
“Some alterations, such as breast size, protruding ears and nasal dysfunction, can affect the patient’s self-esteem and well-being in such a way as to become impediments in his daily life and can generate psychological problems, traumas and even health problems, such as back pain, in the case of excessively large sinuses, and nasal obstruction, when the problem is a deviated septum”says the plastic surgeon doctor Daniel Lobo Botelhopresident of BAPS (Brazilian Association of Plastic Surgeons).
In these cases there are plastic surgery interventions that aim precisely at the cure of these alterations.
For the surgeon, each person is totally different: It is very common for patients to seek out a plastic surgeon who wants to look like a celebrity. BAPS makes it clear that any aesthetic procedure, including the most invasive ones, must be performed responsibly, taking into account the individual characteristics and needs of each patient.
“The intention of plastic surgery is not to make you look like someone else, but to seek out your best version based on your features. These procedures will be performed based on your facial harmony and it is the surgeon’s job to guide the patient through the procedures most suitable for each case”says the president of the association.
Plastic surgeries are able to achieve natural results: For fear of exaggerated results after plastic surgery, many people prefer to opt for so-called less invasive procedures, such as the application of botulinum toxin and filling with hyaluronic acid. However, it is very common that in an attempt to achieve a result that can only be achieved through plastic surgery, these procedures are overdone, resulting in facial deformities.
BAPS points out that, in fact, plastic surgery is just as capable of providing natural-looking results as cosmetic procedures, just as both can be overdone.
“The secret of the natural result that everyone is looking for lies in the correct indication of a certain technique, whether it is plastic surgery, fillers or botulinum toxin. the movement you will make by pulling the skin, among other details. There is no magic , there are correct indications and precautions to be taken by the doctor to obtain the best result”, complete Dr. Daniel.
“It is interesting to add that the techniques are constantly evolving precisely in order to offer natural results to the patient”Adds.
The procedures are safe: Even with technological advances in medicine, expanding the access and safety of surgical procedures, many people are still afraid of having plastic surgery.
“Drastic changes, frustration of expectations, anesthesia, possible complications, resumption of activities, loss of sensitivity, fibrosis and scars are some of the themes that patients fear. However, contrary to what many think, current plastic surgery procedures are safe Una very common fear of patients, for example, is in relation to anesthesia. But the advancement of technology combined with investment in research in the sector has led to the creation of new drugs and techniques that allow the application of anesthesia with a very high degree safety”says the plastic surgeon.
“Safety-wise, the duration of the surgery is something that should be considered. The recommended time is up to six hours, which is why many doctors don’t perform three hours in the same day. In clinics without intensive care, ambulance exit and protocols against infections, we always guide in choosing a properly equipped hospital environment”Adds.
It is also very common for patients to be concerned about the postoperative period, since, in addition to being a time which, in most cases, requires rest and, therefore, prevents the patient from resuming their daily activities, it is during recovery that major complications arise, such as swelling, bruising, and bleeding. But just follow the doctor’s recommendations faithfully to face this moment safely and ensure the best result for the procedure.
Doctors are suitably qualified: Another factor that makes plastic surgeries very safe is the extensive training, experience and specialization of the doctor who will perform them. BAPS has education and the dissemination of scientific knowledge as one of its foundations, which is why it advises the patient to always choose a duly qualified plastic surgeon. The association points out that board-certified physicians are more than trained to perform these procedures.
“But be aware, because there are many professionals who are not really qualified and attract their patients with the promise of great results at prices below the market. So, to avoid complications and health risks, it is essential to make sure that the procedure will be performed by a specialist practitioner, who must have plastic surgery qualifications and credentials to perform the procedure safely. To be sure of this, good advice is to check if the practitioner has RQE, which is the specialty qualification record of the doctor In addition, it is also worth seeking out other people who have already had procedures with their doctor and check what their experience has been”concludes the plastic surgeon.
