Dr. Nélida Grande, specialist in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, together with her team, are professionals of recognized prestige and great experience in surgical interventions for women. In addition to the most demanded surgeries, such as breast augmentation or other body or facial surgeries, they perform combined operations -such as abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) with breast lift-, secondary surgeries -to correct mistakes made by previous surgeons-, and breast prosthesis replacements. Dr. Grande is characterized by a special sensitivity to the female gender. She feels complicit with each patient to achieve the best results and regain lost self-esteem, but always looking for harmonious and as natural as possible according to their age and needs.
From 18 to 35 years old
In this age group, as Dr. Grande explains, “most women come to us for operations that help them feel better and look more beautiful. I am talking about breast augmentation to increase one or two sizes, rhinoplasty (nose surgery), otoplasty (of the ears, which can also be done on girls), liposuction for excess volume, or also labiaplasty -to improve the shape of the vaginal lips-. But in the chapter on breast surgery, from 18 to 35 years of age there are also other types of interventions that can definitively solve imperfections that affect young women physically and psychologically. The correction of asymmetrical breasts (very different from each other) or tuberous, are an example. This second type of malformation occurs in adolescence, when there is not enough tissue for the breast to grow properly and it grows forward, hardening and taking on a cone-like shape. Tuberous breasts lead to serious psychological problems.
From 35 to 50
Women at this age usually need other types of interventions, such as abdominoplasty. This technique is intended to remove the excess skin of the abdomen that has been left sagging, when this aspect can not be corrected with diet and exercise. This operation can be combined with breast lift. Together or separately, these surgeries are ideal for women who have had one or more pregnancies, since this way the woman’s figure can be significantly restored. From 35 to 50 is also very common liposuction, rhinoplasty, or Lipostructure. This last surgery, as explained to La Vanguardia Dr. Grande, “is based on the permanent three-dimensional modification of the anatomy, by filling with the patient’s own fat extracted from another area of the body, previously purified. It is used to fill areas that need it and give them volume”. It is also worth mentioning the so-called secondary surgeries, for patients who have been dissatisfied with the aesthetic results of a previous operation performed by another professional.
From 50 onwards
For women over 50, facial surgery plays an important role. For example, facelift or blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) are two of the most demanded operations in these cases. “Because although the passage of time cannot be stopped, it is possible to rejuvenate by reducing facial wrinkles and correct the drooping of the upper eyelids, as well as the bags in the lower eyelids,” Dr. Grande points out. And speaking of body cosmetic surgery, the arm lift in this age group can solve the so-called ‘pendulum arm’, when there is an excess of fat and skin in the biceps area that causes it to present a drooping shape and even sway. And as far as the bust is concerned, women 50 and older can also correct their breasts with an elevation if they are sagging, or with a reduction if they are extremely large or heavy and even cause back problems. Not to be forgotten is prosthesis replacement, which can be performed when necessary.
