Surgical Aesthetic Procedures

The clinic performs facial and body contouring surgeries. Each surgical plan is individualized based on patient health and aesthetic goals. Common procedures include:

• Rhinoplasty to modify nose shape or improve breathing
• Blepharoplasty for eyelid rejuvenation under local or general anesthesia
• Abdominoplasty including the Fleur De Lis technique for significant skin removal
• Liposuction using Vaser and tumescent methods for body shaping
• Brachioplasty and cruroplasty to remove excess skin from arms and thighs

Rhinoplasty operations typically last 1–3 hours. Most patients recover in about 3 weeks. Abdominoplasty uses regional anesthesia, so patients feel no pain during the procedure. Incision placement depends on the volume of tissue removed.

Breast Surgery and Reconstruction

Dracirugía offers breast reconstruction for patients following a mastectomy. Surgeons can perform immediate reconstruction during the mastectomy or delayed reconstruction later. Techniques use either silicone implants or the patient's own tissue for natural results. When implants are used, they go under the pectoral muscle or behind breast tissue.

The clinic also provides aesthetic breast surgeries. These include breast augmentation, reduction, and mastopexy (breast lift). For a breast lift, surgeons make incisions around the areola to correct drooping tissue. Most breast reconstruction procedures take 2–3 hours. Patients generally return to moderate activities within 2–3 weeks.

Non-Surgical Rejuvenation

The clinic provides outpatient aesthetic treatments for facial rejuvenation. These procedures take 15–60 minutes. Specialists use topical or local anesthesia to manage discomfort. Results typically last 6 months to 2 years.

Available non-surgical options include:

• Hyaluronic acid fillers for volume and wrinkle reduction
• Botulinum toxin injections to smooth dynamic facial lines
• Collagen stimulators to improve skin elasticity and texture
• Fat infiltration using the patient's processed fat for facial contouring

Technologies and Methods

The surgical team uses modern technologies for body contouring. These tools help achieve better skin retraction and more precise results. The clinic uses ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) and laser-assisted liposuction (LAL). For advanced skin tightening, surgeons apply J-Plasma and Renuvion Bodytite technologies during procedures.

Patient Support and Follow-Up

Dracirugía provides structured recovery guidance for international and local patients. The surgical team stays in contact throughout the healing process. Patients must attend all scheduled follow-up visits so the surgeon can monitor progress. Post-operative instructions include compression garments and specific incision care. Recovery timelines vary based on procedure extent and individual response.
