FAQ.

Breast augmentation is often performed to enhance breast appearance, with silicone implants being one of the most common procedures. Silicone is flexible and non-fragmenting, and even in the unlikely event of a rupture, the gel, serum, and synthetic materials it comprises are harmless and naturally broken down by the body. Advances in radiological imaging have shown that women with silicone implants do not encounter issues during breast examinations. The silicone used in breast surgeries does not cause breast cancer, nor does it interfere with the diagnosis of potential breast cancer.

The role of the golden ratio in rhinoplasty can be described as enhancing the symmetry and naturalness of the nose. The golden ratio is a key consideration in rhinoplasty as part of the surgeon's effort to provide patients with the most aesthetically pleasing and natural-looking results. This concept helps to achieve a harmonious and balanced facial appearance by ensuring the proportions of the nose are in line with universally recognized standards of beauty.

Swelling and bruising can occur after rhinoplasty surgery, particularly around the eyes. This is more likely if blood-thinning medications, vitamins, dietary supplements, or herbal teas are consumed before the operation, as they can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery and bruising afterward. If the surgery does not involve the bones, swelling and bruising may be minimal. However, if the nasal bones are thick, wide, or crooked and require alteration, some swelling and bruising are to be expected. Patients with sensitive skin who bruise and swell easily may also experience these symptoms around the nose post-surgery. Typically, swelling and bruising are not immediate and are most noticeable 24-48 hours after the operation. These symptoms generally subside by 10-12 days when the nasal splints are removed. To help reduce swelling, patients are advised to stay well-hydrated and avoid salty foods. Keeping the head elevated and in a central position can also minimize swelling. Applying cold compresses around the eyes and forehead for short periods may help alleviate bruising and swelling.

After a neck lift surgery, patients typically stay in the hospital for a few days for monitoring and pain management. During the first few weeks, it is important to rest and avoid physical activities. Dressings and stitches in the surgical area need to be regularly checked and changed. The healing process continues throughout the first month, during which patients can usually resume daily activities, but should avoid strenuous activities to allow proper healing of the surgical area. Patients can generally return to work 1 to 10 days after the surgery, but should avoid making sudden or strenuous neck movements. Any bruising that occurs usually resolves by the second week.

The experience and skill of the doctor can significantly influence the recovery time and success of the procedure. Therefore, it's important to inquire about the doctor's experience. You should feel comfortable asking about the doctor's qualifications and requesting to see their previous work or patient cases. Reviewing before-and-after photos of past patients can provide insight into the doctor's expertise and the results they can achieve.
