Face rejuvenation with laser and growth factors
[toggle_container keep_open=”false” initial_open=””] [toggle title=”See description of the procedure”]This technique consists of using materials removed to the body of the patient. It is very effective and does not cause any negative reaction to the body. It can be used by individuals of all agesbut is not advisable before age 17.
Initially, are extracted about 20 cubic centimeters of blood from the person. This blood is then centrifuged and treated. This process separates the solid portion (including blood cells and platelets) from liquid. From here, it is yet another separation: poor plasma and rich plasma. Is this that after duly selected, is administered into the body to stimulate collagen growth and that promotes rejuvenation. The treatment lasts for 30 to 50 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia.
It can be applied to the face, hands and eyelids. It is also useful in the case of older people, in non-healing wounds and ulcers.

Breast Augmentation with Biomaterials
[toggle_container keep_open=”false” initial_open=””] [toggle title=”See description of the procedure”]In this surgical correction, we take advantage of the fat tissue that is harvested from areas where fat is abundant (such as the thighs or abdomen) and it applies into mammary regions. The patient has an indication for this technique if he wants a moderate increase or a survey discreet breast.
It is a minimally invasive surgerywhich has had a very large demand, especially when combined with liposculpture. However, it is very important to the surgeon to explain in depth and rigor which are the possible expectations to achieve with this surgical procedure.
Duration: about 60 minutes;
Anesthesia: Local or locoregional. Has the advantage of not having to interrupt the professional and social activity;
Internment: no;
Side effects: swelling or edema in the immediate postoperative period. There should be no sunlight in the two weeks following the procedure and can’t exist local compression (hard wired bra with support);
Risks: the increase achieved with this type of treatment sometimes is reached only with the second and third structural lipoplasty procedures with growth factors.

Breast Lift with Implants
[toggle_container keep_open=”false” initial_open=””] [toggle title=”See description of the procedure”]Implants
Mammoplasty is the aesthetic or recontructive intervention, which aims to give shape and volume to small breasts, disproportionate to the rest of the morphology of the patient or asymmetrical breasts. All these phenomena can lead to problems with self-esteem and the use of this type of intervention allows the patient to renew self-confidence, whether professionally or personally.
This kind of phenomena frequently is resolved through surgery, such as where there is no normal development of breast cancer, keeping age 17 a reduced dimension (mammary hypoplasia), or situations where there is a lack of mammary (breast agnesia). In this intervention, anatomical breast implants are placed, the implant consists of a gel of high coherence and textured surface, close to the consistency and texture of normal breast tissue.
As for technique, there are several available to the surgeon, it will be up to the specialist to choose the most appropriate depending on each particular case: the prosthesis can be inserted through the axilla via sub mammary, via periareolar, via trans-areolar, via abdominal, via umbilical and via through previous scar. The placement may also be behind the pectoral muscle or ahead of the muscle, behind the mammary gland or behind the pectoral fascia.
Currently, the most common technique is the introduction of the prosthesis through a small incision in the peri-areolar region, since the scar located at the transition from the mammary areola to the skinover time becomes almost imperceptible.
Duration: about 60 minutes.
Anaesthesia: Most cases is performed on ambulatory basis under anaesthesia loco-regional with sedation, there is no admission. The patient only needs to stay in the clinic for a few hours and then can go home at their own pace. The important during the recovery period is to avoid efforts and intense physical activity, since the practice of violent sports such as tennis, horse riding and other equivalent may move the prosthesis.
Relocation: only if given general anaesthesia, and in this case there is confinement of 24 hours.
Side effects: in the immediate postoperative period it may be swelling, localized edema, which disappears within two to three semanas. In this period, the patient should pay particular attention to the physical effort that is mainly avoiding the practice of violent sports, as well as charge weight. It also is totally inadvisable the sun exposure in the three weeks following the intervention.
Risks: it is very important to have a good communication with the surgeon in order to avoid misunderstandings regarding the size and shape chosen. The choice of the surgeon is as important as the certainty that the material to deploy is reliable and offers all kinds of guarantees, their integrity and safety.

Mamolifting
[toggle_container keep_open=”false” initial_open=””] [toggle title=”See description of the procedure”]This is a very recent surgical technique that allows to survey the drooping breasts and rejuvenating them without making the known inverted T scar. The scar, if any, is in the peri-areolar region in which one introduces a mammary prosthesis that simultaneously raises the breast (for breast sagging) and gives volume (for the small breast, sagging).
The mamolifting can be run in a variety of clinical casesand for each the surgeon will choose the most appropriate technique to consider. Besides the possibility to choose the best technique the specialist can also choose the material (breast implants orother surgical instruments) in order to obtain the best possible result.
This procedure replaces in most cases, the known mastopexy when it is intended to correct mild ptosis, the recovery is easier and the costs associated with are further reduced since in most of the cases is possible to perform this technique on ambulatory basis.
Duration: between 60 to 90 minutesunlike the traditional surgerywhich can take about 3 hours.
Anaesthesia: locoregional with or without sedation but it can also be performed under general anaesthesia.
Internment: no. When surgery is performed on ambulatory basis, the patient should be about two hours in the recovery room as a precaution.
Side effects: post-operative may have some disturbances like some breast tenderness and temporary pressure change of breast tenderness.

Breast Reduction
[toggle_container keep_open=”false” initial_open=””] [toggle title=”See description of the procedure”]This surgery aims to remove excess volume of the breast region, excess weight and, in most cases, also the correction of drop mammary areola and nipple. In this procedure, in addition to the correction of the volume of the breasts, is also redefining the shape. The scar may be peri-areolar and vertical L-shaped or anchor, depending on their size.
The visibility of scars can nowadays be greatly reduced thanks to new preventive and corrective procedures introduced in the healing process. It is the case of non-ablative laser that Clínica Biscaia Fraga uses systematically in the postoperatively.
The benefits of this intervention are physical, organic, functional and aesthetic. In most cases, there is associated with the breast gigantism, a painful generalized frame that can be altered to give a new quality of life that was too limited for the patient before.
Duration: two to three hours.
Anaesthesia: general.
Internment: two days.
Side effects: the existence of scar, but the benefits of this surgery are clearly more beneficial and outweigh that this small annoyance.

Lipoesculpture and Gluteal Increase by Adipose Tissue Activated by Growth Factors
[toggle_container keep_open=”false” initial_open=””] [toggle title=”See description of the procedure”]Lipoesculpture
It aims to model the body by reducing the volume and perimeter, to acquire the harmony of the shapes. This technique allows the use of fat removed from areas where there is an excessto be introduced in areas where it set up a harmonious result.
Duration: varies with the extent and the way it is performed (with local anesthesia or sedation). Normally ranges from one to three hours at which time the patient comes for his own foot; as a general rule, it is not necessary hospitalization;
Anesthesia: in most cases is performed under local anesthesia but you can also use sedation and spinal anesthesia or in the latter case a general anesthetic;
Internment: no, unless it is given a general anesthetic and, if so there is room for one or two days of hospitalization;
Risks: risks inherent in any surgical intervention (bruising, bleeding, seroma, etc.) That with a diagnostic consultation should be avoided;
Side effects: include changes in the skin sensitivity, which may remain within four months after surgery but who recover after a short time in most cases.
Implants
The increase gluteal implant or Macrolane is an intervention aesthetic oriented, which seeks to emphasize shape or volume in the gluteal region. In this intervention is introduced prosthesis with cohesive gel with the shape and volume appropriate to give the desired appearance. The prosthesis is placed in order to obtain a natural result.
The application of Macrolane has secured very effective results in various areas of the body when applied correctly and carefully. It is a safe product that has had a growing demand, because it has the great advantage that it can be applied without having to perform surgery and does not leave visible scars. Ie, the patient has to undergo the hassle of traditional surgical interventions.
The drawback of this product is that the result is not permanent, as opposed to the interference described above. After approximately 18 months, it will be necessary to repeat the application.
Duration: about 60 minutes;
Anesthesia: Most cases is performed ambulatory basis, under spinal anesthesia with sedation with no admission. The patient only needs to stay at the clinic a few hours after which he can go home at their own pace. During the recovery period, it is important to avoid strenuous physical activity and efforts not to dislodge the prosthesis;
Internment: only if administered general anesthesia (for individual cases);
Side effects: some physical condition primarily in locomotion and sitting, physical activity in general. The swelling and edema disappear at the end of 3 weeks approximately;
Risks: It is very important to have a good communication with the surgeon in order to avoid misunderstandings regarding the size and shape desired. The physician’s choice is as important as the reliable material to implement and offers all kinds of guarantees as to its integrity and security.
Biomaterials
The increased volume of the glutes or the modeling shape or relief can be accomplished either by applying adipose tissue patient’s own body to another zone, where it is more abundant, such as the abdomen or thighs.
Frequently they are associated with these two procedures, liposuction and subsequent utilization of adipose tissue to model areas that lack volume (very often, legs, breast, glutes, etc..).
The increase achieved with this technique varies depending on the morphology pre-surgical patient as well as the quality and quantity of fat applied. Hence, this technique should be adequate depending on each case, particularly the circumstances and the morphological expectations created.
Duration: about 60 minutes;
Anesthesia: generally local anesthesia. In cases where there is an association with liposuction, sedation may be administered once, in which the patient’s return home a few hours after surgery;
Internment: no;
Side effects: edema or swelling immediately after the intervention, situations that are contoured to follow the person to make recommendations and medication during the post-surgical;
Risks: you may need to undergo more than one intervention, in order to achieve the desired result.

Lipoesculpture of the Legs with the Increase Adipose Tissue Activated by Growth Factors
Hair Implant
[toggle_container keep_open=”false” initial_open=””] [toggle title=”See description of the procedure”]This is about hair implantwhich uses a graft of the own patient hair. We withdraw a small strip from the inferior occipital and temporal area (where even the bald have hair and where it is strongest) and we close completely this space. The area to deploy, we perform small holes with laser. The hair is then implanted in the scalp, one by one.
Intervention time: up to three sessions, 3 to 4 hours, with a interval of two to three months;
Internment: it is not necessary;
Anesthesia: local with sedation;
Risks: when the scalp is not in good condition, can compromise grip implant;
Recovery: about one week. In cases of hair-free areas, it is seen perforations and only after two months, the hair is about half a centimeter;
Result: long lasting but not permanent when hair falls by genetic or hormonal causes. This treatment delays the loss of hair and hence baldness. You can make up the new implants.

Rhinoplasty
[toggle_container keep_open=”false” initial_open=””][toggle title=”See description of the procedure”]When you look at the face globally, the nose has exceptional repercussions. For example, in case of a woman it is sufficient to raise a millimetre in the tip of the nose to rejuvenate the face as a whole. So, in any face the nose has a key role in defining the facial balance and even in defining the beauty of the face. A crooked nose large or unsightly typically takes one to try to correct the that “deformity” and thereby to achieve a more harmonious and beautiful face.
Rhinoplasty is a surgery that is intended to correct deformities of the nose and requires great skills on the part of the surgeon, not only because it concerns a functional body that is involved in respiration, in the sense of smell and in voice resonance, and also by the fact that you want to align your face in aesthetic terms.
To work more thorough, it is necessary for the surgeon to perform a comprehensive study of what goes on inside the nose and mouth of the person. Later, with the help of appropriate investigations (x-ray of the nose and, real scale) we conducted a cephalometric study – which will give the patient a sense of what will be his nose after this intervention. We will also make a photometric facial study in order to establish its framing on the face.
Rhinoplasty can be performed on an ambulatory basis, under spinal anaesthesia or under general anaesthesia if it is a more complex situation. Rhinoplasty models the nose, increasing or decreasing its size, always with the intent of suiting the patient face. It is a surgery that causes no pain and the result can significantly increase the confidence of the patient and their quality of life.
Duration: The procedure lasts about one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the nose.
Anaesthesia: General or locoregional, according to the morphology of the nose and the desire of the patient.
Internment: one day, if surgery is performed under general anaesthesia.
