Surgery of the Breast
The breast augmentation procedure is one of the most common procedures in plastic surgery. This is carried out by using mammary implants, which are placed underneath the mammary gland or the pectoral muscle.
The minimum age for the procedure is 18 years of age, or when the full growth of the mammary gland has been achieved.
The final intention of this surgery is to improve the contour and the volume of the breasts to accomplish a more attractive figure.
Breast Lift
The reduction and/or lifting of the breast is designed to reduce the effects of the weight and the gravity produced by an excessive mammary volume, or after childbirth or by hormonal changes through time. This procedure is completed by different incisions in the skin depending of each person.
Periareolar lift only leaves a rounded scar in the areolar region, and can be used in selected cases. Other types of incisions are done vertical or in an oblique fashion to excise the redundant skin. Dr. Hoyos enhanced the techniques with minimal scar as in the mastopexy by capsulorraphy, and periareolar lifting.
Pectoral Male augmentation PLM
Pectoral male augmentation PLM (Pectoral Lipograft in Male)
This procedure requires the use of autologous fat conceived by Dr. Hoyos to enhance this region in male (PLM). Also, in this technique the muscular structures can be molded by liposculpture as part of High Definition Liposculpture (HDL) to obtain an athletic figure. In selected cases is necessary the use of pectoral custom-made implants to achieve the desired result.
High-definition Liposculpture (VASER assisted) VAHDL
Dr. Hoyos is the inventor of this revolutionary technique in body contouring. VAHDL is a refinement of the traditional lipoplasty in which the superficial muscular anatomy is molded into the patient silhouette leaving a highly athletic figure. Less amounts of fat are extracted as this is an exacting technique, allowing a safer procedure, achieving results with no comparison with traditional lipoplasty. Also, is about molding and enhancing other structures, as the gluteal area in female or the pectorals in male. The VASER is used as a key part of the procedure; it is an enabling tool consisting in ultrasonic technology in resonance.
VASER facilitates the fat extraction, reduces the pain and the recovery time showing the results in less time.
Tummy Tuck (Full abdominoplasty, lipectomy)
In some cases the abdomen experience changes related with childbirth, or by alterations in the muscles, skin or subyacent tissues, that makes mandatory something more than a liposculpture, but do not have indication for a full tummy tuck. It happens when the excess of skin is minimum or absent.
Dr. Hoyos has designed refinements focused in this indications, incorporating VAHDL to the following cases:
•When a closure of te rectus abodminis muscles is required, it can be done endocopically, but preserving the High Definition, giving a very athletic look.
•In the cases where there is skin laxity, a limited tightenning can be done leaving no umbiical scar, but showing the High Definition.
Buttoks Augmentation
The buttocks augmentation is one of the less acknowledged procedures in plastic surgery. It can be done by the use of autologous fat while a liposculpture is performed to contour the other anatomical areas enhancing this area.
Dr. Hoyos has designed an improvement in the method that increases the safety of the procedure, while ensures more integration-extent of the results over time.
An alternative option in selected cases is by using buttocks implants that are placed inside gluteus muscle.
