To Feel Better About Yourself: Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery Unit
In the Egyptian papyri of 3000 BC or the Sanskrit texts of India from 2600 BC, there are descriptions of plastic techniques and an early form of 'aesthetic medicine' to correct physical defects in individuals.
Sushruta, an Indian physician, and surgeon from 600 BC, detailed procedures such as nasal reconstruction in his treatises. In ancient Rome around 25 BC, Aulus Cornelius Celsus illustrated designs for tissue mobilization in his work 'De Medicina.'
The Byzantine royal physician, Oribasius of Pergamum, author of the medical encyclopedia 'Synagogue Medicae,' dedicated two whole volumes to facial defect reconstruction.
Aesthetic medicine has a long history and currently relies on minimally invasive interventions to maintain, promote, and restore beauty, aesthetics, and health.
It is a significant branch of medicine, improving people's quality of life by enhancing well-being and self-esteem.
Juaneda Hospitals hosts the only Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery Unit in the Balearic Islands, comprising a team of plastic surgeons, sub-specialized surgeons in specific surgical areas, and aesthetic medicine doctors. Consultations and operating rooms are designed to meet the highest international quality standards.
This is how we enhance the quality of life and self-esteem of individuals.
In the Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery Unit, we can assist those who feel insecure about their bodies, aiming to improve both their self-esteem and quality of life. We also address visible injuries or scars resulting from accidents or health issues.
1. In the realm of body surgery, we focus on the abdomen, arms, legs, and buttocks to reduce excess fat or skin, achieving harmonious and stylized results. Liposuction and liposculpture are also employed to enhance physical appearance, but sustained results depend on patients adopting and maintaining healthy lifestyle habits.
2. Breast surgery involves augmentation or reduction, correction of imperfections, breast lifting, and reconstructions following procedures like mastectomy. An innovative program, the 'byodinamic breast analysis,' is utilized to select the most suitable implant for the patient, providing a realistic simulation of the final appearance post-operation.
3. Facial surgery encompasses nose modification, eliminating bags, reshaping drooping eyelids, correcting ear shape and size, chin adjustments, or enhancing cheek volume, among other treatments. The thread lifting technique has gained popularity as a non-surgical procedure to tighten different facial and neck areas.
4. Reconstructive plastic surgery is crucial for patients who have experienced illness, accidents, or have congenital or acquired deformities.
