One of the most common questions I hear during consultations is direct and legitimate: “Doctor, if I get a BBL, will my cellulite go away?” The short answer is that gluteal fat transfer can improve the overall appearance of the area, but it is not a cellulite treatment. And that difference matters much more than…
There is something I repeat at every consultation that, honestly, I don’t think is said enough: postoperative care is just as important as the surgery itself. I can spend hours performing a flawless liposculpture, a meticulous 360 lipo with abdominal etching, and yet the final result will largely depend on what happens after the operating…
Liposuction or liposculpture? It is one of the questions I hear most often in consultations, and the confusion makes sense: both terms sound similar, share the same principle (aspirating fat), and are often used interchangeably. But they are not the same. And the difference between liposuction and liposculpture is not just semantic: it directly impacts…
Being a mother transforms life in ways no one can fully anticipate. The happiness is immense, but the body pays a price. Excess skin on the abdomen, separated muscles, breasts that have lost volume or position, localized fat that does not respond to exercise. These are not aesthetic whims: they are real changes that can…
If you are breastfeeding, or recently finished, and are already thinking about recovering your figure with a mommy makeover, you probably have a very specific question: can I have the surgery while I am still breastfeeding? The short answer is no. But there is much more behind that “no,” and I want to explain it…
If you had a cesarean section, or several, and have spent months looking in the mirror wondering if it is possible to recover your figure, I want you to know something: yes, it is possible. And no, the cesarean scar is not an obstacle. In fact, it can disappear completely during the process. The mommy…
Have you already made the decision to have a mommy makeover and now you are wondering what comes next? The preoperative exams and preparation process is one of the most underestimated stages, and at the same time, one of the most important. The truth is that exams and preparation for a mommy makeover are as…
If you are researching abdominoplasty, you have probably already read about the horizontal scar, recovery, and muscle repair. But there is a detail that many patients only think about when they see postoperative photos: the navel. What happens to it? Is it removed? Does it look natural? I will tell you clearly: the navel in…
If you are researching abdominoplasty, you have probably read or heard something about drains. And your reaction was likely a mix of curiosity and some unease. That is normal. But drains in abdominoplasty serve a concrete and very important function: they help remove fluids that accumulate after surgery, reducing the risk of seroma, one of…
One of the questions I hear most in consultations, and that is most repeated in messages and video calls, is: how long do I have to wear the garment? And what happens if I take it off? The garment after abdominoplasty is not an accessory. It is a clinical tool that plays a direct role…
