Plastic Surgery after loosing weight - Makeover in Brazil. Why not?

Brazil is becoming famous around the world not only for Carnival in Rio de Janeiro and the spectacular forests and beaches but especially for the excellent quality of the Plastic Surgeons practicing there.
The Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery, second in the world in number of specialized Doctors, has very high admitting standards, assuring that new members are fully trained, experienced and qualified in their field. That is one of the main reasons that successful Brazilian Plastic Surgeons provide their patients state of the art, up to date techniques for body and face reconstructions.
During a lifetime, the human body goes through many changes in shape and size due to pregnancies, age, diseases and obesity.
Today, with a drastic reduction in the number of children that families are planning, a woman's body may not "destroyed" by multiple pregnancies but mainly by enriched food and fat and lack of exercises. Hypertension and diabetes affects these people even in premature ages, leading to a handicapped adult life, reducing the work capability and the quality of life, making even simple activities such as walking or sleeping into a distressing matter.
An inability to walk easily (due to over pressure in the knee joints) often impairs the patient's ability to "burn" extra calories, even in a low calorie diet. Most attempts to meaningfully and permanently reduce weight by diet fail.
A possible solution for these people are various forms of Bariatric Surgery that have one or more of these components:
1- Restrict the stomach volume. Methods can include insertion of a temporary balloon, an adjustable band around the stomach or surgically making the stomach smaller.
2 - Reduce the bowel length or by-pass portions of the bowel causing fewer nutrients to be digested and absorbed.
The techniques will vary according to the Doctors expertise and the patient's medical needs and desires.
After Bariatric Surgery, patients are really happy with the immediate results, loosing weight faster than ever, lowering cholesterol, glucose and hypertension to almost normal levels . They discover again how sweet and relaxed is a normal and uninterrupted sleeping night, without nose masks for oxygen, piles of pillows and the permanent fear of sudden death. These good sensations will last for a year or so.
The body's changes are visible and people around will be really impressed with the results, but for the body's owner the changes appear so fast, so deep and so radical - but the mirror reveals a huge flaccidity and a flabby flesh around the belly, arms, thighs and face, turning that fat body into a thin, but absolutely flat, relaxed, skinny and unpleasant body. The patient probably knew before having weight loss surgery that Plastic Surgery might be a neccessity, but so soon?
One and a half years after weight loss surgery is a good period for a body to fully recover. The body's reaction to the sudden lack of food will be compensated for as the body adjusts itself to it's new condition. Once a person's weight has stabilized, Plastic Surgery can be considered.
The major problem is the "patient's brain" Bariatric surgeries change the body but do not operate on the "fat mind". Your mind may need a longer recovery period to adjust to your "new body" and for some people, that period of adjustment can last for the rest of their lives.
Abdomen. Thighs. Arms. Breast. Face and neck. All those regions are melting due to lack of fat support and skin elasticity. Plastic Surgeons are aware of all those problems, and are developing different techniques to treat all the body's distortions. The journey is hard and long but the final outcome is fantastic.
In the hands of an experienced and qualified Plastic Surgeon, your flat and assymmetric breasts or hanging "bat wings" will be gone. A tummy tuck can reststore muscle tone and remove large amounts of extra, sagging skin. A face lift can make those wrinkles disappear and take years off your appearance.
Why consider having plastic surgery in Curitiba, Brazil? Besides the natural beauty of Brazil, Curitiba can offer you an up to date center in Bariatric and Plastic Surgery. Americans, Europeans and Canadians are regular patients and they are ready to give their testimony about our expertise and results. But the most important part of this article is "How can I make all this happen? How can I afford a long trip, a long stay and the Plastic Surgery?"
In US,Canada or Europe, aesthetic surgery is not paid by insurance (except in a few and special cases) and the prices and fees charged by Hospitals and particular Doctors are almost 10 times that charged in Brazil. The reason is that Brazil is one of the least expensive countries in the world. The international money exchange rate favors U.S. patients, 2.40 reais for 1 US dollar . Inexpensive prices do not mean cheaper material or low quality services. The quality of medical care in Curitiba is excellent as past patients will attest. Hotel rooms, dining, cabs and other transportation are really less expensive in comparison with other places. Last month on a trip to Sydney-Australia, I tried an expresso "small" in a downtown cafeteria and paid the equivalent of $5.00 US. Two days later in a coffee shop at Los Angeles International airport in the US, the same expresso cost $3.50 US. In Curitiba the same cup of coffee costs less than $1.00 US . Our philosophy is to charge "real prices" for the overseas patients, charging the same as Brazilians do. Try us. Contact us about fees, surgeries, flight tickets and hotel reservations. Fly to Brazil, try Curitiba and return home with a reshaped body and mind.
