Preoperative
In order for you to have a twin augmentation in complete safety, we must assess your general condition based on your possible drug and environmental allergies, personal and family pathological history, habitual and past medication, possible previous surgical interventions, toxic habits (tobacco), etc.
It is also necessary to have a general analysis, chest x-ray and electrocardiogram. With this study you will be visited by an anesthesiologist who will verify the results, as well as solve your doubts.
At the Guadalupe González Clinic we will also take preoperative photographs, which will help us before, during and after the increase of twins.
Surgical technique
There are two surgical techniques used mainly to perform twin augmentation: fat autograft or twin prosthesis.
The auto graft of fat is carried out after liposuction of an area of the patient. This fat obtained is processed and implanted in the area to be treated, in different planes.
The prosthetic implant is performed through an incision in the posterior crease of the knee. Thanks to this, a virtual space is accessed between the twins and their aponeurosis where the calf prosthesis will be definitively placed.
Drainage is usually required and a semi-compression bandage is placed.
POSTOPERATIVE
The first 24 hours, hospital admission to the clinic with the relevant bandage is recommended, receiving intravenous analgesic and antibiotic treatment.
From the second day, you can be discharged from the hospital with oral medication and following the surgeon’s instructions.
It is normal for inflammation, pain sensation, occasional stinging and tingling to appear, which you can calm with medication and postoperative treatment as well as cryotherapy.
Between the fourth or sixth day, we do the control in the consultation where we will remove the bandage (drains, if any) and we will start neural therapy for your greater comfort. We recommend the use of a special bandage.
You will be able to incorporate relatively quickly into daily and work life, always following the specialist’s instructions, limiting strong physical activities for a few weeks, until you recover from the intervention.
The sutures are removed between 7 – 10 days after the operation and the aesthetic treatment of the scars begins so that in the future they are as imperceptible as possible. Scars appear pink at first. From the 2nd or 3rd month they improve aesthetically. The final appearance of these scars is variable, depending on the characteristics of the skin of each person.
Swelling may be present at first. As this decreases and the tissues give way, they will be placed in their natural position.
