Cómo elegir al cirujano plástico adecuado

La cirugía plástica puede cambiar de manera positiva la vida de las personas. Es por ello que elegir un cirujano profesional y certificado es de suma importancia, ya que realizará cambios en su cuerpo que posiblemente permanezcan de por vida. Esta decisión puede resultar en una mejora emocional y de la autoestima o lo contrario: decepción, arrepentimiento o complicaciones innecesarias.


Lo primero que se debe hacer para elegir al cirujano plástico correcto es verificar las certificaciones y credenciales. Es importante que sean válidas, auténticas y otorgadas por una asociación oficial de cirugía plástica.

La experiencia es otro punto clave. Elija un cirujano con años de experiencia en el área del cuerpo que desea tratar o que practique con frecuencia el procedimiento deseado. Siéntase con la confianza de preguntarle a su doctor sobre sus conocimientos en el tema que a usted le interese.

Otro aspecto relevante es ver las fotografías del antes y después. Esto le permitirá conocer el estilo estético del médico, es decir qué tipo de moldeado practica en rostros y cuerpos. Mire cuantas fotos le sea possible.  

Algo que pocos consideran es la conexión emocional con el cirujano. Cuando hable con él, explique lo más detalladamente posible los cambios que desea y cómo se siente. Lleve fotografías que ejemplifiquen cómo le gustaría mirarse. Debe sentirse cómodo con la relación que su doctor le ofrece y la confianza que le transmite. Busque un médico dispuesto a escuchar, entender y responder todas sus dudas, no importa cuántas sean.  

Las instalaciones son otro punto muy importante, ya que parte de su seguridad depende de ellas. Asegúrese de que su doctor tiene una clínica moderna, bien equipada, con instrumentos de marcas reconocidas.

Por último, tome en cuenta la atención personalizada, ya que requerirá cuidados humanos antes, durante y después de su procedimiento. Asegúrese de que el personal de su médico hable su idioma, sea profesional y esté capacitado, pues serán las personas que le cuidarán desde el primer día.

Estas son solo algunas de las consideraciones que deberá tomar para elegir el cirujano ideal. Una vez que su cirugía termine, el resto depende de usted. Siga las indicaciones de su médico y cuídese bien; esto le propiciará una pronta recuperación y larga duración de los cambios que haya decidido tener en su cuerpo.

What to consider if you are thinking about plastic surgery.


One of the many purposes of aesthetic and plastic procedures is to improve the beauty of the body and the self esteem. However, doing this implies a big responsibility in both, the surgeon and the patient. Plastic surgery can be a very positive thing in life, but if the necessary steps regarding safety are not taken, it might end in undesired results or complications.

Once the patient has decided to go under the knife, it is his or her responsibility to check on the background of the doctor who will perform the procedures. To verify certifications, reviews, experience, recommendations and before and after pictures are some of the steps a person should take before choosing a doctor.

After a certified, experienced surgeon with state of the art facilities has been chosen, the patient must begin preparations for the procedure, which are basically indications given by the doctor.  It is important that before the operation the patient stops smoking, checks hemoglobin levels and, if previous surgeries have been done, allow the necessary period of time to pass before beginning the new one.

When the procedures are all done, it is essential that from day one, the patient follows the instructions given by the medic. If traveling by car has to be done after the surgery, it is recommended to stop and walk for 10 to 15 minutes after every hour. If a plane is taken, ask your doctor for recommendations to maintain the circulation of the body flowing. Medication and anticoagulants should be ingested on time, as specified by the surgeon.  

Another important issue is not going to the gym or making any physical activities, until the doctor approves of it. If there are any given instructions regarding bandages, positions during sleep, ingestion of alcohol, and so on, they all should be followed rigorously.

Many people believe that once a procedure is done, the changes may remain forever, but this perception is not accurate. If the patient does not take the proper care after surgery, or has an unhealthy lifestyle, it is highly probable that the results may not be successful or fade prematurely.

Once the procedure is done, the patient must provide some maintenance over the years. For example, a patient who had liposuction should keep an eye on his or her eating habits, or else, in the short term, he or she will be back to where they started.

These are only a few of the recommendations a patient should keep in mind before and after considering plastic surgery. Remember that choosing the right surgeon is crucial, but the patient also plays a big role in safety and obtaining positive results.
