Nose surgery
___
Have realistic expectations
It is impossible to determine with extreme precision, the desired changes without taking into account the limits of the surgery of the nose. Clinic Beaucare advises against each comparison with other people or a celebrity. You should be aware of the fact that the final result of a nose correction can only be seen after 1 year.
___
Do I need a nose surgery or chin surgery ?
Nose surgery is not always the most desirable operation in order to obtain a good result. A receding chin makes the nose look more prominent. So it might happen that a patient is asking for a nose correction, but that the surgeon offers a chin correction with chin implant.
Eye surgery
___
Difference between eye surgery and bags under the eyes
It happens that the loose skin and drooping eyelids are not due to the upper eyelid but due to sagging eyebrows. So it is important to make the distinction.
Do the test :
Put your fingers on the skin just above the brow and begin to lift the brows and then drop the eyebrow again. If the droopy eyelid starts to improve before getting worse, the problem will most probably be caused by sagging eyebrows.
___
A visit every 5 years
The duration of the effectiveness of the treatment is different from one person to another. Normally, it will be 5 years or more. Smoking, drinking and sun exposure can contribute to speed up the aging process.

Belly surgery
Avoid tobacco and specific medications before the surgery
It is important to not take medication which thinnens the blood. You should also stop smoking 3 to 6 weeks before the surgery and until 1 week after the surgery. Nicotine increases the risk of poor wound healing.
___
Tummy tuck and liposuction are sometimes ineffective
When the fat is located beyond the abdominal wall, a tummy tuck or liposuction is ineffective. In some cases, the protrusion of the stomach is the result of an intestinal dilatation and accumulation of the fat around the intestine.
Ear surgery
___
Have realistic expectations
You can expect a significant improvement of the position of the ears but not to perfection. In addition, it is almost impossible to achieve absolute symmetry of the position of the ears. The surgery leaves a scar behind the ear, which is almost invisible.
