Post-surgical girdles or compression garments are well recognized in the post-operative period of body surgeries due to their multiple benefits for the recovery stage and for the success of the final result.

These girdles are designed with special fabrics to achieve adequate compression to the body and help keep the tissues in place and accelerate the anti-inflammatory process.

Each patient must have their girdle with their specific size which will be placed after the operation. That is why Dr. Franklin Peña includes these garments for the recovery of his patients.

The postoperative girdle is designed with elastic fabrics, especially to exert adequate pressure on the operated area, without causing discomfort. Depending on the type of surgery (abdominoplasty or liposuction), the time of use and the evolution of the patient may vary, although they are generally recommended during the first 4 to 6 weeks.

Benefits of post-surgical girdles after abdominoplasty or liposuction:

• Reduces bruising: The accumulation of blood, liquids such as serum in the tissues can cause risks inherent to body surgeries such as liposuction, abdominoplasty or gynecomastia. The pressure exerted by the girdle during the first few days helps the body reduce the appearance of bruises or bruises.
• Less possibility of infections: As fluids accumulate in the intervention areas, the risk of superinfection decreases.
• Decreases recovery time: The compression exerted by post-operative garments increases and optimizes blood and lymphatic circulation, reducing fluid retention. When fluid retention occurs in the patient, it can increase the risk of skin lumps or fibrosis, which increases recovery time.

In any of the body surgeries, the purpose of the girdle is to contain the tissues and contribute to the recovery process, accelerating the anti-inflammatory process and helping the patient to recover without experiencing pain.

Many times we refer to Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck only as the surgery that corrects sagging abdomen at the aesthetic level. Ignoring that it is a procedure that improves the patient’s quality of life, especially after pregnancy.

Tummy tuck or Abdominoplasty is the procedure that helps to link the muscles of the abdomen, and as a result you get a more slender and flat abdomen.

Is it necessary to have a tummy tuck?

After achieving a significant weight reduction, as a result of a bariatric or after experiencing one or several pregnancies, the abdominal abdomen may suffer a separation of the rectus abdominis muscles. In the case of pregnancies they separate forming a hernia; This is why in each pregnancy the abdomen can distend.

Medical benefits of tummy tuck

Reduction of urinary incontinence
After childbirth, many women have urinary incontinence due to the effort made during the birth process. This lack of control in a bladder is related to leaking urine in uncomfortable situations such as sneezing, coughing, exercise or laughing very hard.

Improves abdominal tone and posture
When you have lost a lot of weight or after multiple pregnancies, you can gain extra volume in the muscles of the abdomen. So diet and exercise are often not enough to correct it.

Hernia Correction
After a massive loss of weight, the abdominal muscle can weaken and the product of this can cause hernia in the lower back. Tummy tuck corrects this weakness, in addition to combating excess excess skin.

It should be borne in mind that tummy tuck surgery is an important surgery, and that it requires several hours of surgery in the operating room.

Increase of pectorals with implants
The increase of pectorals through silicone implants, allows to define and increase this area of ​​the body, when it is difficult to achieve it through exercises. This intervention is for men with an underdeveloped chest, men with an asymmetric development of the chest muscles or simply for men who do not have the type of muscle that they would like to have, even when exercising.

This procedure is also quite popular among bodybuilders or fitness trainers, who want to improve the appearance that their workouts have given them.

The breast enlargement is less invasive than the female equivalent. While in breast augmentation, surgeons have the option of separating the muscle from the nerves and / or the breast bone, to insert an implant between the muscle and the bone. In the male case, the surgeon does not touch the muscle, nerves or bones.

Calves too thin and the gym ain’t working?
Although calf augmentation surgery has a lower demand, but growing in recent years is also quite specific. People who tend to request this procedure tend to be assiduous to an active life and that exercise has not improved this area.

The athletic liposculpture, also known as Lipo HD or lipomarcación is ideal for those people who are very close to achieving an athletic body and adequate muscle marking. That is, people who already eat healthy, exercise regularly and maintain an active lifestyle.

Liposculpture or athletic liposuction what’s the difference?
Classic liposuction only removes fat in some parts of the body, but lip-marking is the most advanced technique in body contouring that not only removes fat, but molds it artistically highlighting the muscular anatomical signs of the athletic person.

The well-known Lipo HD manages to sculpt the human body in all its dimensions, achieving an athletic and harmonious result.

For the results to last, you must continue with the exercise regimen that has been carried out before the surgery and continue with a healthy diet.

Is there pain in recovery?
Like any surgery, pain and discomfort may occur, but the surgeon will recommend a post-operative treatment to minimize it. He will also prescribe antibiotics, in addition to analgesics to prevent infections.

A very important aspect that requires the post-operative, is the physical and emotional support by relatives or close who are with the patient, as they must meet the primary needs of the patient, such as food, hygiene and sleep.

The results will depend fundamentally on the choice of the surgeon, but also on the post-surgical care that is received, therefore, it is essential to follow the medical recommendations.

The most accurate definition of liposuction is the technique that consists of dissolving excess and accumulated fat in any part of the body (abdomen, arms, back, face, waist, etc.) and then extracting it through a small cannula for an effect of suction.

Liposuction eliminates targeted fat in different areas of the body

That is, any technique that meets this dual condition of dissolving and removing fat from the leather through a suction effect should be referred to as liposuction.

Liposculpture is the term that is given a very well defined technique for its purpose, to mold the body. It is just from there, that the word itself contains the term: Sculpture.

This is why the difference between both techniques is remarkable. Liposculpture uses liposuction to meet these goals.

That is to say, liposculpture is performed liposculpture, since the latter is responsible for placing fat in strategic points to give body contour and help maximize curves.

The confusion between the techniques or terms liposuction and liposuction, arises in essence because both treatments use the same technology. The fat is liquefied and removed through cannulas by suction.

Also, because there is a similarity in the objectives, and it should be noted that none of the procedures is a treatment for obesity. Nor can it be used as a method of weight loss.

However, both are excellent treatments of fat clusters that do not disappear with diet or exercise for people, who are not overweight.

None of the procedures should be viewed as a “point and end”, but as a start, because if you neglect your diet or exercises you can regain the fat that has been extracted.

Liposuction or liposculpture gives you the opportunity for a healthier start to life

A liposuction or liposculpture gives you the opportunity to start a healthier life, watch your diet. It is very important, maintain a good physical condition to be able to retain the results always, because if not, where there were clumps of fat will return.

A plastic surgery can significantly change your life, improving those elements of our appearance that bother us.

Keeping in mind, these points that we have commented to you, surely you will obtain a good experience.

At all times we ensure the safety of our patients, not only before or during surgery, but in the recovery period, which guarantees the safety and confidence that each patient places in our team.

In the last three decades, plastic surgery has developed impressively. Just pay attention to our surroundings, most of us have a friend, friend or relative who has undergone some procedure, while a few years ago we only saw or knew about plastic surgery through television and artists, often with excesses in the use of plastic surgery that we should not emulate.

Plastic surgery is today an efficient tool for men and women, provided that prudent use is made and avoiding excesses.

For centuries, the narcissistic personality has been known and today it is further stimulated by the massification of traditional media, the internet and social networks, of pursuing a false stereotype or wanting to have a perfect appearance. However, plastic surgery does not offer magical changes and the expectations of those who opt for aesthetic procedures must be realistic.

Body dysmorphia in a psychological disorder in which a person notices bodily defects that only she sees, and even magnifies them to the point that prevents them from carrying out a normal family, social and work life.

Hence the relevance that plastic surgeons give to the psychological aspect of each patient. It could be assumed that we rely more on the proportions of the body or the procedure itself from the technical point of view; But the truth is that we care more about the emotions, expectations and motivations that lead a person to undergo a plastic surgery procedure.

When a woman is a candidate for a plastic surgery procedure, the benefits can be innumerable. It is known that self-esteem and security improve, as well as physical appearance; Both facial and breasts, body and buttocks. In addition we realize for our patients of the changes even in intimacy and sensuality.

Many females after pregnancy, over the years or changes in weight undergo changes in their anatomy that causes them difficulty in using a certain type of clothing; Things that are normal and that plastic surgery can solve. However, knowing that plastic surgery is not magic and being sensible in the search for changes and results is an indispensable requirement to be a candidate for surgical treatments.

In the Dominican Republic we work for a culture that promotes realistic plastic surgeries; effective and above all safe. Our commitment is to the health of our patients.
