Aesthetic Medicine & Plastic Surgery at Turó Park
Sponsored by Turó Park Clinics.
Whether they’ll admit it or not, most people have concerns about their appearance. These concerns can affect their confidence, self-esteem and overall well being. Now, with the evolution of aesthetic medicine, people can turn to plastic surgery to reinforce their confidence and even enhance their quality of life.
The concept of plastic surgery as a whole has become more mainstream; it is more openly accepted and, most importantly, it’s safer than ever before. People are now able to choose from an extensive range of procedures to enhance, define or improve their features.

What Are the Differences between Aesthetic Medicine, Cosmetic Surgery and Restorative Surgery?
These three categories are often confused, which can later lead to misunderstandings when seeking reimbursement. It’s important to have a clear understanding of the differences to avoid surprises when it comes to paying for your procedure.
Aesthetic medical procedures are the most common; they are non-invasive and do not involve surgery. Examples include Botox, hyaluronic acid injections, laser treatments, skin peels and hair removal. These all have rapid recovery times, with most patients returning to normal activities the same day as the procedure. Due to this minimally invasive nature, the clinic's specialists recommend these over surgery.
Cosmetic surgery is not usually reimbursed as it concerns patients that choose out of their own will to improve their physical appearance, usually for aesthetic and personal reasons, rather than functionality.
Restorative surgery, as the name suggests, aims to restore the integrity, function and appearance of the body or face after injury, accident, surgery or a birth defect. It is usually covered by health insurance as it works to rebuild a normal, healthy life both physically and mentally.

Does It Hurt? Am I Going to Get Bruised? Will I Have Scars?
If your doctor has recommended surgery, it’s natural to feel anxious about it. But many cosmetic procedures are minimally invasive, meaning they require only small incisions which makes them much safer with shorter recovery periods.
Also known as laparoscopic or keyhole surgery, the surgeon makes very small incisions, and inserts slender instruments and a tiny camera to help visualize progress on a monitor. In most cases, the patient goes home with only bandages to cover the wounds and will experience minimal bruising and scarring.
Does It Require Anesthesia?
Depending on the treatment, anesthesia may be required. If so, the surgeon will recommend a longer recovery time.
Is It Safe?
Plastic surgery has proven to be safe for the majority of patients, but of course it is not without the usual risks.
There are steps you can take to ensure that you have a safe surgery:
- Check the qualifications and history of the doctor.
- Inform your doctor of your complete medical history before the surgery.
- The doctor should conduct a formal history and physical examination prior to surgery.
All of the specialists at Turó Park Clinics are highly experienced, qualified experts in their field, resulting in accurate, safe and results-driven procedures carried out in a comfortable environment.
Why Should I Get Plastic Surgery?
The list of reasons why you could want plastic surgery is just as extensive as the list of possible procedures but the specialists at Turó Park Medical Center believe that the decision should be yours alone. They understand that their role is to provide you with the best possible advice and information to help you come to your own informed conclusion.
For the majority of people, these procedures help them to gain confidence and in the case of restorative cases to restore physical comfort.
Whether it is enhancing the size or shape of your breasts, reclaiming your body after pregnancy or weight loss or counteracting ageing effects, cosmetic surgery can improve your confidence. The clinic's specialists make sure that you do so in a highly professional, safe environment that gives you the best results possible.
