It is essential that they have a full understanding of the procedure and are emotionally prepared for the process and the results.
How should I prepare for surgery?
Preparation for surgery includes following the surgeon's instructions, such as quitting smoking at least four weeks beforehand, avoiding certain medications that can increase the risk of bleeding, such as aspirin among others, fasting if general anesthesia is required, if the patient resides abroad, it is necessary to be at least 48 to 96 hours before surgery and following the anesthesiology instructions.
What is the typical recovery time after surgery?
Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery and the individual patient, but generally, initial recovery lasts between one and two weeks. However, final recovery will depend on the normal inflammation and healing process, which can take several months, as with any surgery. It is crucial to follow all postoperative recommendations for a safe and successful recovery.
What type of anesthesia will be used during surgery?
Depending on the procedure, local anesthesia, intravenous sedation, or general anesthesia may be used. The surgeon and anesthesiologist will determine the best option based on the complexity of the surgery and the patient's preferences, ensuring a safe and comfortable procedure.
What are the possible risks and complications of surgery?
Like any surgical procedure, cosmetic surgery carries certain risks, which may include infection, scarring, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anesthesia, among others.
When can I resume my normal activities after surgery?
The time to return to normal activities depends on the procedure and the patient's individual response. Light activity can usually be resumed within one to two weeks, but it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least four to six weeks. Your surgeon will provide specific guidance based on your case.
How long do the results of cosmetic surgery last?

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following your surgeon's instructions can help prolong the effects of the procedure.
What should I expect during the first few weeks after surgery?

Most patients experience some discomfort, which can vary depending on the type of surgery and individual experience.

Your surgeon will provide guidance on pain management and what to expect during recovery.
Will I need additional checkups or procedures after surgery?
You'll likely require follow-up visits to ensure your recovery is progressing appropriately. In some cases, additional procedures may be necessary to adjust or maintain your results. These decisions are made in consultation with your surgeon, based on your postoperative progress and long-term expectations.
