The purpose of eyelid surgery is to normalize and rejuvenate the area surrounding the eyes in order to achieve a younger, radiant look. The affectation of this delicate area surrounding the eye is caused by: excess skin, especially on the upper eyelids, the thickening of the muscle that allows the eyelids to close, and due to excess fat or herniation of the palpebral bags, which act as sponges, retaining liquids. The preoperatory study is very important to determine a possible preexisting asymmetry, the laxitude or lack of eyelid support, tear production capacity, etc., in order to discard contraindications and possible complications.
Excess skin on the upper eyelids is usually treated by extirpating spare skin with a small incision located on the crease of the eyelids, where scaring is unapparent. Skin extirpation on lower lids is done cautiously to avoid complications. Fatty bags are treated in the same way and they are removed or repositioned, according to need.
This surgery is carried out with local anesthesia and sedation, or general anesthesia. Eyes are not occluded and patients complain of minimal pain. Sutures are removed the third and fifth day postoperatory. Bruising occurs in several degrees; in any case, the patient may resume labor and social activities within a week.
Most complications are avoidable with a correct quirurgic indication and when proper technique is used, they are treatable if acted upon quickly, at the same moment they begin appearing.
Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery maybe performed randomly on young patients or in combination with other interventions such as a Rhytidectomy or facial lifting, achieving harmonious global results.

Nose preoperatory evaluation is very important in these types of interventions in order to identify anatomical anomalies that cause the problem or deformity (nasal septum deviation, cartilage malposition, prominent bones, etc.) as well as to evaluate preexisting asymmetries and the type of modification needed. A surgical altered nose must be functional, have the correct proportions according to the person as a whole, specifically with the face, and the result achieved must be natural, not artificial, in other words with no signs of surgery.
Depending on the case, the shape of the nose may be modified by extirpating small amounts of cartilage and bone, but on other occasions, to augment the size of a exceedingly small nose, for filling or supporting certain areas, cartilage grafting from the patient will be necessary, these can be taken from the nasal septum or the ear. In those cases in which a nose has undergone previous surgery (secondary), scared tissue or an absence of anatomical structures may be found, thus making correction more complex, as well as when at the same time there is a breathing (functional) problem that must be corrected.
A Rhinoplasty (nose job) may be done with general anesthesia, or local anesthesia plus sedation, and it is an ambulatory patient process. A painless intervention, although bruising and swelling around the eyes is frequent for a few days. The nose is taponaged for a few hours or days, which might make the patient uncomfortable, as breathing must be temporarily done through the mouth. A rigid, moldable plastic bandage or cast is normally applied, which is removed in a week, in order to prevent the swelling to modify the result. It must also be taken in to account that once the bandage is removed the nose will still be slightly swollen and some time must elapse, this will vary in every patient, before the final result is noticeable.

Liposuction, (also called Lipoaspiration or Liposculpture) is a surgical procedure that definitely eliminates localized fatty deposits in certain areas that have not responded to a dietary plan, exercise or other therapies, and enables the modeling of defined body regions. Liposuction is not adequate for overweight or obesity treatments.
Said body regions improve by removing fat from localized areas, but skin elasticity is a very important factor, as is postoperatory treatment consisting in massages, lymphatic drainage and the use of especially designed girdles to achieve an adequate, favorable result. The ideal regions to be treated are: the neck (double chin), the abdomen, lateral part of the breasts, flanks, external and internal thighs, calves, the back, buttocks, waist, etc.
Surgery is generally performed under general anesthesia, in certain occasions peridural anesthesia may be used or local anesthesia and sedation on smaller areas such as the neck and lower abdomen. This is generally an ambulatory patient procedure unless it complements other procedures such as abdominoplasty. Very small incisions, less than half a centimeter are made, generally in hidden areas such as the navel, pubic hair area and skin folds. A tumescent solution is infiltrated to enable the extraction of fat and avoid bleeding. We proceed to insert different types of cannula (thin tubes), which have been designed for the different regions; these are connected to a pump that vacuums fat. Ultrasonic technology is used, enabling the procedure and providing more satisfactory results for the surgeon and patient.
A compression girdle must be used for a two-week period, but normal activity can be resumed a few days after treatment. The final, permanent result may be evidenced approximately two months after the procedure.
Breast Augmentation (Mammary Implants)

Breast enlargement is one of the most requested interventions in Aesthetic Surgery by women worldwide with immediate results. Breast size depends on cultural, racial, labor etc., situations. Surgery consists of placing implants that have been specifically designed for the mammary region. Currently, breast implants offer an ample margin of safety due to vast technology in their fabrication. The gel used is denser, cohesive, providing more safety in the extreme case of implant rupture.
The patient must be exhaustively evaluated, the surgeon must ask about her expectations, desired size, and every explanation concerning different techniques must be provided, including possible complications. Surgery is carried out under general anesthesia, as an external patient or 24 hour hospitalization.
Incisions are small and in the long run, unapparent. Inframmary approach is used, which is hidden in the mammary crease and the areola approach, which is excellently hidden on the border of the areola. Preferences depend on the patient and the surgeon.
Implants are placed beneath the pectoral muscle insuring better prosthesis coverage; nevertheless, subglandular or subfascial implantation is preferred by patients active in sports or that present a minimal degrees of ptosis or drooping breasts.
Recovery period and certain restrictions such as driving a car or weigh lifting is approximately a week.

For either genetic or racial reasons, or hormonal changes, in many women there is a great breast development. There may be plainly a glandular tissue component or combined with an increase in fatty tissue.
Large breasts are often pendulous and tend to droop or sag; the areola-nipple are malpositioned. Large breast may cause back and shoulder pain, vertebral lesions. Skin lesions, and irritation are also frequent especially in the submammary canal. There is augmentation in veins and breast weight distends support ligaments, thus causing pain.
Younger patients find themselves limiting their sports activities and their social interrelations are deficient, they try to hide their breast with inadequate clothing for their age. Their self-image is deteriorated and treatment for them is not only aesthetical, but a medical therapy issue as well. There are several techniques for the reduction of hypertrophic breasts, with a variation in design and placement of residual scaring, depending on each particular case. These may be an inverted T, in L, vertical and all its combinations. The periareolar scar is limited to mild hypertrophy.
This surgery is performed with one or two hospitalization days, under general anesthesia, and the patient must be very dedicated and strict with postoperatory care. Suture line care is very important in order to avoid tension and loss of cutaneous areas; suture is removed progressively in several stages.
There may be changes in areola and nipple sensitivity, and in many cases breastfeeding is impossible. Your surgeon can provide further details and options to any concern you might have.
Mastopexy (Breast Lifting)
After pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as after significant weigh loss, breasts lose their volume, and changes in ligaments occur as well as skin distension manifesting in excess skin, deterioration in cutaneous coverage with stretch marks and changes in the areola-nipple position.
If the problem is lack of volume, mammary implants do not correct ptosis or breast sagging. The main problem is the incorrect location of remnant tissue, nipple malposition and falling and a variable degree of excess skin, flaccid, sagging breasts.
The surgical intervention that allows the lift of sagging breasts is called Mastopexy and generally consists in modeling the existing mammary content and eliminating the remaining excess skin. There are multiple techniques, an adequate one for each case; scar longitude and localization may vary depending on each particular case.
Surgery is performed under general anesthesia, usually with one day of hospitalization. Drainage is removed 24 hours after. Sutures are gradually removed and a brassier must be used the first several days postoperatory.
In certain circumstances, additional volume may be needed for the breasts as there may not be enough quantity of mammary tissue to achieve the desired shape, therefore a mammary implant must be added. This would be a combination surgery between an Augmentation Mammoplasty and a Mastopexy. Your surgeon will further explain in detail each technique and will recommend the most adequate one for you.

The passing of time, exposure to the elements, especially to solar radiation, and genetic factors cause the deep facial and neck tissue to undergo changes, characterized by atrophia, structure descent and fatty deposits in certain areas.
A Rhytidectomy or Facial Lifting, consists not only in stretching the skin, but also in repositioning deep structures that have descended with aging, placing muscle and tissue support groups in a higher, more normal position. Skin is separated through minimal incisions that remain hidden beneath the natural creases of the ear, hairline, etc. In this way we are able to work on deep structures. Only remaining skin is removed leaving almost unnoticeable scars. It is common practice to combine a facial lifting with surgical eyelid treatment (Blepharoplasty).
It is convenient to practice this surgery in stages, according to the need of each patient. It is not necessary to wait until all facial and neck structures deteriorate, but on the contrary, treat the face when deterioration is presented, subsequently the neck and forehead. In the case of older people, all areas involved may be treated as a whole. In any case, the objective is to achieve a natural look, without changing the facial expression.
General anesthesia is used in gentler cases, and may be practiced under an ambulatory patient regime, nevertheless, one or two hospitalization days is usually the norm. A bandage must remain in place for the first 24 to 48 hours, as well as drainage, which are also removed after the same period of time.
Edema or swelling is moderate and pain is limited and easily mitigated with analgesics. Although it is not an incapacitating surgery, labor and social activities may be resumed 10 to 15 days after.

In this procedure, areas lacking hair, quality of hair, presence of scalp disease and genetic background must be analyzed. The procedure consists in removing a strip of scalp from the occipital area (the back of the head), this area is closed with a very delicate suture, leaving no visible scar.
Micrografts from pilose follicles are prepared; these will be inserted in the frontal balding areas to be covered. Under local anesthesia, very delicate incisions are made in the scalp where the follicles are microimplanted. A bandage, which will be removed 48 hours later, is then placed on the entire head, leaving scabs that will eventually fall leaving way to new hair growth. Stitches will be removed from the area in 7 days.
Discomfort is minimum, and in important cases of baldness, more than one procedure will be needed.
Mentoplasty (Chin Surgery)
In every facial surgery, we try to give the profile a balance. The search for aesthetics and the adequate proportion of facial features may require the increases or decrease of the chin to fit the rest of the face. Together with a rhinoplasty (nose job) it is one of the few surgeries that must be suggested by the surgeon in order to obtain a harmonious result.
When the chin augmentation is no more than six or seven millimeters, a Silastic implant or Teflon prosthesis is used. In order to introduce the implant, a small incision is made on the skin underneath the chin; another access point is the furrow between the gum line and lower lip (intraoral).
In cases where more advancement is needed, the procedure is intraoral, a section or osteotomy of the inferior maxillary or jaw. This enables to advance, raise or lower the cut osseous segment. It is then fixed in the desired position accordingly to preoperatory planning. In certain cases, a shortening of the chin can be achieved in order to correct an exceedingly long face.
Interventions can be practiced with general anesthesia or local anesthesia plus sedation, and the hospitalization period is only several hours long. In determined cases when osteotomies are practiced in extremely accentuated defects, the patient might night a 24-hour hospitalization period.

The ideal age for an otoplasty is around 5 years of age, when the formation of the complex cartilaginous structures of the ear are completed and before the child enters school. After that, it can be done any time during a lifetime. An adult otoplasty is generally performed under local anesthesia plus sedation, but in children, an otoplasty is carried out under general anesthesia. In both cases, it is an ambulatory surgery and does not require hospitalization.
There are different techniques for an otoplasty, some of which are based on the debilitation of the ear cartilage, allowing shape modification; others are based on applying absorbable sutures to approximate the modified structures. In all techniques, the scar remains in the crease that forms the auricular pavilion with the head.
The objective of both techniques is to produce a natural, anatomically proportioned ear, correct the cartilaginous creases that are not adequately formed, restore or maintain the grooves (helix and antihelix) and normal angles.
After intervention, the application of a dressing for a 3 to 5 day period is recommended, although the ears may still be swollen or bruised during this period. Bands or headbands that stay the ears close to the head must be used during postoperatory and during the night, in order to maintain the new structure until cicatrization.

After pregnancies, the abdominal wall undergoes severe distension; this is produced by flaccidity and many times it is caused by tears in fibrotic bands that unite the straight and oblique abdominal wall muscles. Skin flaccidity and striae (stretch marks) and sometimes hernias are frequent. Simultaneously, fat accumulates in variable quantities, and in many cases, its distribution follows hormonal and genetic guidelines.
Patients dislike these changes in the abdominal walls and their self-esteem suffers, as they are unable to practice beach activities freely or wear certain types of clothing. Similar disorders are observed in patients of both genders after undergoing Bariatric Surgery and the consequential loss of massive body weight.
The current trend for this type of surgery is to limit the dissection or the abdominal wall adipose tissue peeling, a Harmonic Scalpel is used and the lymphatic vessels are preserved, decreasing the possibility of complications. The underwear covers the suprapubic incision.
Under general anesthesia, an incision somewhat larger than a cesarean section incision is made, in some cases, it is extended laterally. The abdominal wall is peeled up to the rib border in the abdominal mid section. We then make a plicature by strongly suturing the musculature and fibrous tissue in order to mark the waist and reinforce the abdominal wall. We move the navel, which has been extracted by another incision, and relocate it in its original place.
Excess skin and fat is removed, followed by suturing the wound in its several plains. Drainage is used for safety. Every case of abdominoplasty is combined with selective liposuction on the abdominal flanks and wall. This provides better results and recovery time decreases. Hospitalization lasts 24 to 48 hours. Recovery time is usually a couple of weeks until normal activity is resumed.

Degenerative joint diseases are more frequent nowadays, especially on hips and knees. Life span has increased as well events involving acute and repetitive trauma. Patients with hip or knee arthrosis are greatly benefited by this joint replacement surgery (ARTHROPLASTY). These are surgeries, with success rates of 95% that allow for an early and complete reinsertion of the patient to his daily, normal activities. Successful surgery basically depends on three factors, the surgeon's skill and experience, hospital infrastructure and the implants used.
Hospital Metropolitano de Quito, Ecuador, is equipped with all of these factors, therefore it is a fact that a hip or knee arthroplasty surgery may be practiced with technology and resources equal to any of the best-specialized centers worldwide.

Since January 2007, Metroláser Hospital Metropolitano laser surgery center offers effective treatment for vision correction. Custom View, an FDA approved procedure constitutes an important advancement for myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism correction. This equipment, with state of the art technology is unique in Ecuador and allows optimal results in surgical procedures.
CONVENTIONAL OR STANDARD SURGERY:
Our equipment has an Active Track system that tracks the patient's subtle eye movements in three dimensions, allowing locating treatment placement with more precision.
For best surgical results, previous examinations such as topography and paquimetry are suggested, or a refractive pentacam in order to better evaluate the patient and analyze eligibility for excimer laser surgery.
PERSONALIZED SURGERY:
Personalized Excimer Laser procedure requires previous additional diagnosis procedures such as the refractive Pentacam and Wave Scan. Preliminary Wave Scan exam with Wave Front technology makes a detailed map of the eye, same as a fingerprint. A diagnosis 25 times more precise. This diagnosis device offers a representation of the patient's refractive status based on behavior to light waves. We have a highly qualified team in charge of attending the patients and a group of certified ophthalmologists managing the team.
We comply ISO -9001 quality standard in all our installations and quirurgic procedures. In the refractive surgery procedure the following is also included:
-
These prices include postoperative control of the first month; the following months will be charged.
-
The wave scan is included in the personalized procedure hospital price. The patient must make an appointment to have this exam done at least two days before programmed surgery.
-
If the practitioner requests a wave scan to complete the patient's history and is going to perform a standard surgery this will have a charge.

A cataract is a clouding that develops in the crystalline lens of the eye or in its envelope, varying in degree from slight to complete opacity and obstructing the passage of light. In most cases it is age-related and begins at forty. At the age of 65, most people have developed a certain degree of cataracts. The only possible treatment consists in removing the deteriorated lens and replacing it with an intraocular lens.
Cataracts may appear in different severity and aggression degrees; this will determine the parameters to be used during surgical procedure, which will be carried out using INFINITI, the best technology available worldwide.
Additionally a great number of lenses may be used to replace the crystalline lens allowing the correction of alterations such as astigmatism, with toric lenses, presbyopia with multifocals, etc.
PROCEDURE
In modern cataract surgery called PHACOEMULSIFICATION, a procedure with minimal incisions that does not require stitches is performed by introducing an ultrasonic probe called PHACO, which disintegrates and suctions the cloudy crystalline in the eye. The INFINITI incorporates new options to traditional ultrasound such as the OZZIL, a technology that has revolutionized crystalline extraction in a safe way.
CANDIDATES FOR SURGERY
-
Persons with hypermetria or elevated myopia, outside LASIK limits.
-
Patients with incipient or advanced cataracts.
-
Persons with presbyopia.
-
Persons unable to see near or far.
This technique has also other advantages:
-
Quick visual recovery without occlusions.
-
Ambulatory, carried out in a few minutes.
-
By selecting the adequate lens, the specialist is able to correct existing refractive defects.
Visual Correction with LaserLASIK AND EPILASIK:
This surgical technique allows correction of VISUAL ALTERATIONS with laser such as:
-
Myopia
-
Hypermetropia
-
Astigmatism
State of the art technology allows for PERSONALIZED TREATMENT consisting in personalized measurement of your refractive defect, which include possible optical aberrations, improving your quality of eyesight even in under lit places. By using WAVE FRONT technology, personalized carving of the cornea can be performed for improving eyesight.
PROCEDURE
The procedure is carried out by experienced ophthalmologists in a sterile, aseptic environment with a computer controlled laser. The anesthesia used is in a topical eye drop form, meaning that the patient will not experience pain, and discomfort will be reduced to a minimum during the procedure, which lasts only a few minutes in each eye. The specialist will recommend the most adequate procedure for each case and visual defect.
CANDIDATES
-
Over 18 years of age
-
Stable visual measurement alteration with less than 0.50 diopter change in the last year.
-
Non-pregnant women
-
Patients over 40, will be instructed of the need for reading glasses after surgery, in order to correct presbyopia, which is a normal process when aging. Other options can be taken into account such as facorefractive surgery in which multifocal lenses are used.
It is not recommended for patients with:
-
Glaucoma
-
Keratocone
-
Cataracts
-
Uncontrolled Diabetes
RECOMMENDATIONS
There are certain recommendations the patient must take into account before surgery:
Suspend soft contact lenses at least one month before procedure, if they are rigid or gas permeable, at least one and a half months before procedure, in order to avoid false corrections.
Complete ophthalmological examination, including preoperatory, in order to evaluate if the patient is eligible for this type of surgical intervention.

In our Hospital, we currently count with the most advanced FOTONA Erbium laser YAG technology for skin treatment, rejuvenation, benign tumors, hiperpigmentations, keratosis and more. Another equipment, the Neodymium Laser YAG with scanner is complementary and is used for vascular lesions, permanent laser depilation and other procedures.
Advanced technology provides safer procedures in all skin types with high effectiveness proved results. Procedure is carried out by the Team's Plastic Surgeons' aided by specialized technologists who operate the equipment.
In order to apply the different procedures, previous skin preparation such as depigmentation and exfolliation are important to achieve adequate cutaneous humectation. 45 to 60 minutes before, an anesthetic cream is applied to achieve enough cutaneous insensibility to perform the treatment. Depending on the type of procedure, it has duration of 15 to 30 minutes of laser use. Post operatory treatment consists in the use of anti inflammatory creams, moisturizers and sunscreens.
Multiple laser sessions are generally required to finish treatment, although this procedure is very useful as a complement with other facial procedures such as a rhytidectomy or blepharopasty.
