Botulinum Toxin A
Type A Botulinum Toxin is popularly known as Botox. There are many different brands of Botulinum Toxin A, these include Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and several others. It is an excellent non-surgical alternative for facial rejuvenation. It is a non-surgical procedure for facial rejuvenation.

People usually apply this to the forehead, crow’s feet lines, and frown lines. It can also be used to fix lip lines, brows, and necklines.
Fillers/Hyaluronic Acid
Dermal fillers are a rejuvenating non-surgical facial procedure whose results are immediately visible. Hyaluronic acid is a protein that is regularly produced in human bodies. It’s a fundamental component of skin and its function is water absorption to maintain elasticity and firmness. This treatment increases volume (lifting effect), supports, and also smooths the contour, fading of furrows, and facial expression lines. You can expect the effects of this treatment to last about 9 to 12 months. One popular brand used by doctor Juvederm including their Vobella, Voluma, and Volift products.
Buccal Fat Pad Removal
This procedure usually takes place in the doctor’s office thus making it a less invasive procedure. In this procedure, the buccal portion of the Bichat’s fat pad is extracted. Removing this fat pad strategically gives the patient a sharper and more symmetric appearance. Patients usually want this procedure because despite losing a significant amount of weight, the volume in their cheeks area is still prominent.
Submental Liposuction (Chin Lipo)
This procedure is for people who have a double chin and no excess loose skin. After this procedure, they will have a sharper jawline and have less fat in the central area of the neck.
Augmentation Mammoplasty
Breast augmentation with implants is one of the most popular and sought out procedures. It confers an immediate mammary volume augmentation, restoring their shape, firmness, and giving an additional lifting. The implants most commonly used are round high projection, high cohesive silicone gel.
Breast Lift/Mastopexy
The breasts display a series of changes through time because of genetic factors, aging, pregnancy, nursing, hormonal changes, weight fluctuations, among others. The mammary suspensory ligaments lose resistance and skin its elasticity. In consequence, the breasts begin to sag and drop by the effect of gravity. Breast lift or mastopexy offers to optimize the position, shape, firmness, and volume. This procedure can be combined with the placement of implants to increase the volume and improve the outline of the upper section.
Four basic mastopexy techniques can be done with or without implants.
- Crescent
- Donut
- Lollipop
- Anchor
Breast Reduction
This is a reconstructive procedure. The objective is to eliminate the discomfort caused by excessive weight and improve the shape, size, position of the breasts. The lifting effect also produces a positive cosmetic result. Patients seeking this procedure have excessively large breasts that limit daily routines like exercise and associated symptoms like back pain, neck, shoulders, infections in mammary creases and folds. The mammary reduction technique depends on the amount of mammary tissue to remove and lift. Usually, the patient’s bra size reduces by approximately 2 cups.
The most used incisions are:
- Vertical (lollipop)
- Inverted-T (anchor)
Gynecomastia
This is the abnormal growth of a man’s mammary gland caused by factors like hormonal influence, medications, and weight fluctuations. This generates an impact on self-esteem, anxiety, lack of social interaction, and in some cases, isolation. Correction addresses both the remodeling of the fat tissue as well as the removal of excess glandular tissue.
Abdominoplasty/Tummy Tuck
The abdomen presents drastic changes after pregnancy or weight loss. Patients with massive weight loss either from bariatric surgery or dieting present a challenge to achieve an optimal abdominal contour, making this procedure a reconstructive one. Excess skin, fat, and muscle flaccidity are the objectives of this procedure. Patient evaluation is essential to decide which type of abdominoplasty is the most suited. It can be combined with liposuction to get a better body outline result.
Types of Abdominoplasty:
- Mini: Exclusively for lower abdominal excess (from the navel and below). It doesn’t require an umbilical level incision and it can include an abdominal muscle adjustment. There are very few patients that are candidates for this abdominoplasty
- Standard or Traditional: It’s the most common and conventional procedure which consists of the removal of all excess lower abdominal tissue (skin and fat) as well as adjusting the abdominal muscles (abdominal rectus plication) through an incision that’s concealed with the underwear. The navel is reconstructed creating a new spot for its placement, there will be a scar around it.
- Extended: To eliminate the excess of abdominal tissue from waist, flanks, and lower back, the incision of the traditional abdominoplasty is extended to the posterior side achieving a better result.
Liposuction
Along with augmentation mammoplasty with implants, liposuction is one of the most popular and common procedures in plastic surgery. The accumulated fat that’s located in regions of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise are treated with liposuction. The objective is to improve the body’s outline, it isn’t a weight-loss procedure. The collected fat can be transferred for augmentation to other areas that require added volume (e.g. glutes). Patients are looking to improve their body contour in areas with fat resistance to diet and exercise. They must have a stable weight and not looking to reduce it with this procedure.
Areas for liposuction:
- Abdomen
- Flanks/Waist
- Upper back (rolls)
- Lower Back
- Pubis (Mons Pubis)
- Thighs
- Arms
- Pectoral
- Neck (double chin)
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)/ Gluteal Fat Grafting
This procedure has gained a lot of popularity for shaping and giving volume to the buttocks using the patient’s own fat, without the need of using implants. The product of the liposuction is processed and prepared to be transferred to the gluteal region. In this way, the glutes are sculpted hence improving their outline and volume, as well as correction of defects such as depressions or asymmetries.
Breast Reconstruction
The breast is a combination of glandular and fatty tissue. After massive weight loss, usually, 2 scenarios develop.
The first and most common is a breast without volume or empty, with excess flaccid and loose skin. To correct this it is necessary to substitute the lost volume with an implant and remove the excess skin to fit the volume desired by the patient. This correction of the skin is achieved with a breast lift or mastopexy in the anchor.
The second scenario is a voluminous and saggy breast, that requires a lift that may or may not use implants depending on the patient’s expectations. In these cases, the size of the implant is small and its objective is to give volume and projection to the breast, especially to the upper pole or cleavage area. However, if the patient doesn’t want volume or rejects the idea of an implant, a classic inverted T mammary reduction can be done. In both cases, the technique that offers the greatest capability of correction in vertical and horizontal surplus of the breasts is the Inverted-T or anchor. Having 2 lifting vectors allows an optimum adjustment of the breast leaving it firm and cosmetically pleasant.
Brachioplasty/Arm Lift
The arms are one of the most notorious zones that tend to sag after massive weight loss. This deformity is known as Batwings, which prevents an adequate and functional performance for the patient. The elimination of this excess entails a visible scar that the patient beforehand must accept. However, the scar can be managed to be less noticeable possible. Brachioplasty can be done by itself or it can be combined with an upper-body lift.
Torsoplasty/Back Lift
Fat Rolls are the result of massive weight loss excess skin, which usually doesn’t improve with liposuction. The resection of them to correct the area is known as otoplasty, in which the scar is hidden in the bra line. Depending on the case it can be incomplete or complete along the length of the back, though generally is advised to be complete for optimum results.
Circumferential Abdominoplasty/Belt Lipectomy
Circumferential abdominoplasty (also known as central lift and extended abdominoplasty) is part of the combined procedure lower body lift. The objective is to eliminate excess skin in the front and back regions of the trunk which include the abdomen, waist, and lumbar area managed as one. At the same time, it has a lifting effect in all the lower zone of the trunk which comprehends the pubis, glutes, and inner and outer thighs.
Fleur De Lis Abdominoplasty
Reconstructive procedure in cases of massive weight loss that consists of correcting two vectors of excess skin and fat: vertical and horizontal. It’s the abdominoplasty with greater power of correction of post-bariatric patient’s outline. As a consequence, the patient will have two scars, one in the lower abdomen (horizontal) and another in the mid-abdomen (vertical). It can be combined with liposuction for a better body contouring result. Particularly indicated in patients with a vertical or upper abdomen excess which can’t be corrected with a conventional or extended abdominoplasty.
Cruroplasty/ Thighplasty/ Thigh Lift
Thighs tend to be areas with laxity and where a significant quantity of stretch marks and cellulite is found. Correcting all the excess of the inner or outer components of the thigh can be quite a challenge. The procedure involves a lengthwise scar which can be on the inner or outer thigh depending on each’s individual case. It’s difficult to treat area because of the high amount of humidity and motion that it has, as well as the proximity with the genitals and perianal zone. However, the removal of excess skin improves the functional performance of daily tasks. With proper post-surgical care, the patient can evolve satisfactorily.
