The fundamental role of plastic surgery in restoring and enhancing the body

Reconstructive surgery is a crucial component of plastic surgery, focusing on correcting alterations in body shape or function caused by accidents, congenital or acquired diseases, and previous surgical procedures.

The techniques employed are diverse and continually advancing, aiming not only to restore physical appearance, but also to significantly improve the functionality of the affected tissues.

Types of reconstructive surgery

Post-mastectomy breast reconstruction

After a mastectomy due to breast cancer, many patients find in reconstruction a way to regain their body image and self-esteem. By using implants or autologous tissue, a breast resembling the natural one in shape and size is recreated.

Burn reconstructive surgery

For those who have suffered severe burn injuries, the consequences are not only physical but also emotional. Reconstructive surgery helps release contractures and improve mobility, as well as reduce scarring, contributing positively to the patient’s psychological well-being.

The medical importance of these interventions lies in their ability to restore lost or diminished functions, while their psychological value is evident in the support they provide to patients in better coping with their conditions and confidently reintegrating into their daily activities.

Aesthetic surgery in Murcia to enhance beauty

Aesthetic surgery is a speciality within plastic surgery that focuses on improving physical appearance through surgical procedures. Unlike reconstructive surgery, which primarily aims to correct deformities and abnormal bodily functions, aesthetic surgery pursues the beautification and enhancement of features already considered normal.

Among the most common aesthetic interventions are:

Liposuction: This involves removing excess fat from specific areas of the body to give it a more defined shape.
Rhinoplasty: A surgical procedure that modifies the shape or size of the nose to achieve facial balance.
Facelift: This procedure helps reduce the visible signs of ageing on the face and neck.

Choosing the best aesthetic clinic in Murcia can be an important decision. Here are some tips for selecting one:

Certification: It is essential to look for certified facilities. This ensures they comply with the standards and regulations required by health authorities.

Experience: The experience of the medical team is crucial. Surgeons should have extensive experience in performing the procedures they offer.
Facilities: Operating rooms and recovery areas should be equipped with advanced technology.

Pre and postoperative care for plastic surgery

The success of any surgical procedure is not limited to the operation itself. It also involves the preoperative and postoperative care you follow. We care about your overall well-being, providing detailed instructions for each stage of the process.
