This is a simple and safe procedure that takes about 10 to 15 minutes with a small syringe injecting specific sites. This procedure does not require anesthesia or any sedation, and return to personal and working activities is immediate.

Results are seen 2 to 3 days after application, but maximal effect is seen in 10 to 14 days. The results are conserved for 4 to 6 months initially and after consecutive treatments the duration can be seen for 6 to 8 months.

The treatment with botulinum toxin does not substitute rhytidoplasty (facial lifting), but it can be a complement.

For ethical reasons we do not include pre and postoperative photographs, thus protecting the privacy of our patients.

It is certainly known that risks for complications are increased by prolonged surgical times. In my opinion and the concept of “Clinica Medellin” (third level institution in which I am a member), any time longer than 5 to 6 hours are high risk.

The postoperative care and risks of complications are the same as conventional body contouring plastic surgeries.

Frequent complications are:

  1. Bleeding, hematomas or seromas: It is important to emphazise that the risk of anemia are higher and the patient may require
  2. Infections
  3. Alteration in sensibility of surgical area
  4. Inadequate wound healing
  5. Skin necrosis
  6. Deep venous thrombosis
  7. Pulmonary thromboembolism

The risks of thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are prevented during the operation and postoperative, with mechanic and farmacological prophylaxis.

Incapacity for 5 to 10 days due to periorbital edema and ecchymosis.
