Question 7

What is the recovery after a facelift?

Initial recovery is 10 to 14 days, with most patients socially presentable at 2 weeks. The final result appears at 3 to 6 months.

Question 8

Are breast implants safe long term?

Accepted Answer

Modern implants are certified devices with a manufacturer warranty. Risks such as rupture, capsular contracture and BIA-ALCL are rare but real, and they are reviewed with you before surgery along with a defined monitoring schedule.

Question 9

Will my breast augmentation look natural?

Accepted Answer

Implant size is not chosen by cup size. It is chosen by breast base width, projection, skin quality and chest proportion, so the result matches your frame instead of an arbitrary number.

Question 10

Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation?

Accepted Answer

In most cases yes. The incision and implant plane are planned to preserve glandular tissue and nipple sensation as much as possible.

Question 11

How visible are the scars?

Accepted Answer

Scars are placed in natural creases and mature over 12 to 18 months. A scar care protocol starts in the first weeks and is followed at every review.

Question 12

Do implants need to be replaced every ten years?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no fixed expiry date. Implants are replaced when there is a clinical reason — rupture, contracture or a change in what you want — and imaging follow-up tells us when.

Question 13

How soon can I fly home after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Facial surgery: usually 10 to 14 days. Breast and body surgery: 7 to 10 days. Clearance to fly is given in person before you travel, with instructions on movement and compression during the flight.

Question 14

What happens if there is a complication once I am home?

You keep direct WhatsApp access to the surgical team, scheduled video reviews, and a written protocol you can hand to a local physician if in-person care is needed.

Question 15

How do I book?

Accepted Answer

Send a WhatsApp message to +52 55 1127 8236 or email info@drmaubaley.com. The first conversation carries no commitment.
