When to undergo medicine and cosmetic surgery?
We recommend to prevent, maintain, and correct small defects rather than cure extreme situations.
Whether or not to undergo procedures of aesthetic medicine and surgery may be a dilemma or a situation that can shake the person for uncertainty, embarrassment, indecision, and any kind of doubt.
Dr. Boriani will receive you at any time and for any kind of response, even just for advice or listening. In fact, the expert must be available for this, first to listen, interpret the needs and advise. The best way to deal with the aesthetics of body and face is through proper prevention and maintenance that start as early as possible. From the age of twenty or thirty, it is advisable to consult a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery if you want to opt for the maintenance of beauty rather than for a “drastic cure” once time, sun and stress have produced their disruptive effects on our look. In this scenario, any treatment will be at high risk of causing unnatural and exaggerating effects and it will be harder to obtain an effective result with safety. The lady who seeksa plastic surgeon for the first time at 70, with a damaged and wrinkled skin is a great challenge for the surgeon and for herself. It is very different to deal with minor aesthetic defects that can be easily corrected in the age of thirty or forty, while also wiping out a domino-like chain effect so that the hanging skin causes a progressive worsening of the surrounding areas under gravity and traction. It is therefore a matter of “investing” soon on our own beauty, rather than “slapping a bandaid on” when it is too late.
As for the time of the year in which to carry out procedures and interventions of aesthetic medicine and surgery, there is the myth for which the summer period is to be “banished” for the execution of these practices. This is true in part. In fact, the postoperative period is definitely benefited from a climate that does not cause sweating, but with a good air conditioning system this aspect becomes irrelevant.
As for sun exposure, it is true that fresh scars should not be exposed, but most of them in plastic surgery fall into body parts covered by bathing suits, so they allow to go to the beach with dark and well covering suites, Alternatively, fresh scars can also be protected by total solar filters, applied with extreme accuracy and regularity throughout the day.
We can think that in Brazil, for example in Rio de Janeiro, where Dr. Boriani has been working for a long time, even though there is a tropical climate all year long, many people have been undergoing aesthetic surgery for decades.
On the other hand the summer period has benefits for the patient:
It could interfere less with your work activities, as there is a physiological decline in summer
It could allow you to define the date of the operation more accurately than your desires or needs, as the surgeon and the hospital generally have a less hectic activity than in other periods of the year
It may be easier to have help from family / friends
With regard to aesthetic medicine procedures such as injections, there is absolutely no contraindication for them in summer, except to avoid sun exposure of any bruises until they pass (within 1-2 weeks).
