Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Plastic Surgery in Valencia
Answered by Dr. Alberto Sánchez García,
your plastic surgeon in Valencia.
How to choose the best plastic surgeon in Valencia?
To guarantee your safety and achieve the best results, you must look for a doctor who holds the official title of Board-Certified Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgeon. Furthermore, it is essential to verify that they operate in fully equipped hospitals (featuring Intensive Care Units), seek out reviews from real patients, and ensure they instill absolute confidence from your very first consultation.
What is the difference between a board-certified plastic surgeon (SECPRE) and a cosmetic doctor?
It is a common mistake to confuse the two. A cosmetic doctor performs non-invasive or minimally invasive treatments in a clinic setting (such as Botox or hyaluronic acid dermal fillers). However, a plastic surgeon has completed a demanding, 5-year hospital-based medical residency (the MIR system in Spain), which officially accredits them to perform complex surgical procedures in an operating room.
Why is it important for my surgeon to belong to SECPRE?
The SECPRE (Spanish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery) requires all its members to hold official board certification. Choosing a SECPRE member surgeon in the Valencian Community acts as a strict quality and safety filter, guaranteeing that the professional has the proper medical training and abides by a rigorous ethical code.
How can I verify the credentials of a plastic surgeon in Valencia?
It is very simple and highly recommended. You can search for their name and medical license number on the official website of the Valencia Medical Association (ICOMV) or check the specialist directory on the official SECPRE website. Plastic surgeon Dr. Alberto Sánchez García is an active and verified member of both institutions.
Why undergo cosmetic surgery in Valencia instead of traveling abroad (Medical Tourism)?
Valencia boasts some of the most advanced hospital infrastructures in Europe and top-tier professionals (across both public and private hospitals). Having plastic surgery here guarantees full compliance with strict Spanish and European health regulations, eliminates the language barrier (with English-speaking support), and, most importantly, ensures your surgeon will be available for post-operative check-ups and any emergencies—something impossible if you travel to other countries.
What can I expect from the initial plastic surgery consultation with Dr. Alberto Sánchez?
The first visit is a comprehensive medical evaluation. The doctor will listen to your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and take precise measurements. From there, he will honestly explain whether your expectations are realistic, which surgical technique is best suited for your body, and exactly where the scars will be located.
Is the first informative consultation free or paid?
The initial visit is not a mere "sales pitch" but a specialized medical assessment that requires time, expertise, and, in many cases, 3D simulations or ultrasounds. Even so, an initial free consultation is offered in cases where the appointment is confirmed electronically in advance (via phone or WhatsApp).
What questions should I ask the surgeon during the first appointment?
We highly recommend bringing a list. Some essential questions include: Where will the surgery take place? What kind of anesthesia is recommended? What happens if a complication arises? What is the recovery timeline like? The doctor will answer all of your questions clearly and without rushing.
What pre-operative tests do I need before cosmetic plastic surgery?
Following strict safety protocols, we ALWAYS perform a comprehensive pre-operative study. This usually includes a full blood test (with coagulation panels) and an electrocardiogram (ECG). Depending on your age and the specific type of surgery (for example, breast augmentation or reduction), a chest X-ray or other specific tests may also be required.
Can I smoke before and after plastic surgery?
Absolutely not. Tobacco and nicotine constrict blood vessels, significantly decreasing the oxygen that reaches your tissues. This dramatically multiplies the risk of necrosis (skin death), infections, and widened, prominent scars. You must completely stop smoking at least 3-4 weeks before and another 3-4 weeks after the procedure.
Should I stop taking any medication, vitamins, or birth control?
Yes, certain medications can increase the risk of bleeding. You must avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatories (like ibuprofen), and certain natural supplements (omega-3, green tea, vitamin E) for at least 10 days prior to surgery. Regarding birth control pills, your surgeon will advise you if they need to be suspended based on your specific risk of thrombosis.
Do I need to follow a special diet before going into the operating room?
You do not need a strict diet, but eating healthy meals rich in iron and vitamin C is highly recommended to promote optimal healing. However, on the day of the surgery, you must fast completely (no eating or drinking, not even water) for the 8 hours immediately preceding the intervention.
Is it equally safe to undergo surgery in any hospital in Valencia?
Major outpatient surgery or procedures requiring an overnight stay must always be performed in a secure, clinical hospital environment. Our team ALWAYS operates in top-tier hospitals equipped with fully certified operating rooms, modern resuscitation equipment, an on-site blood bank, and an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to safely handle any medical eventuality.
Who will be my anesthesiologist, and what type of anesthesia will be used?
Anesthesia will be exclusively administered and monitored by a Board-Certified Specialist in Anesthesiology and Resuscitation from our surgical team. Depending on the intervention, it may be local anesthesia, with or without sedation (very common in eyelid surgery/blepharoplasty, ear surgery/otoplasty, and others), or general anesthesia (the standard for breast surgery, tummy tucks/abdominoplasty, and rhinoplasty).
What are the real risks of cosmetic surgery?
Like any surgical procedure, plastic surgery carries inherent risks (such as infection, bleeding, hematomas, poor scarring, or anesthesia-related risks). Our team always explains these in detail so you have all the necessary information to make an informed decision. However, by choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon, completing a thorough pre-op assessment, and having the surgery in a premium hospital, these risks are drastically minimized.
What is the standard recovery time after plastic surgery in Valencia?
It depends entirely on the procedure and the individual patient. For surgeries like breast augmentation or blepharoplasty, most patients return to their (office) jobs within just a few days. Major surgeries like an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) may require 2 to 3 weeks of downtime. Your surgeon will provide specific guidelines on when you can safely resume driving or working out.
Do plastic surgery scars disappear completely?
Magic does not exist in surgery: every incision leaves a scar. However, an expert plastic surgeon knows exactly how to hide them in the body's natural creases (the breast fold, the bikini line) and uses advanced intradermal sutures to make them as fine as possible. Over time, and with proper aftercare (silicone scar sheets, laser treatments), they fade and become barely noticeable.
How many post-operative check-ups will I have with my plastic surgeon in Valencia, and are they included in the price?
Post-operative care is just as critical as the surgery itself. Usually, your comprehensive, all-inclusive quote covers all necessary medical check-ups and wound care. You will have frequent appointments during the first month, which will then become more spaced out until you receive your final medical discharge.
When will I be able to see the final results of my operation?
Although you will notice a dramatic and obvious change the moment you leave the operating room, the immediate result is not the final one. Initially, there will be mild swelling and fluid retention. The true aesthetic result begins to show around the 3-month mark, but it is not considered definitive until 6 to 12 months have passed, once the inflammation has completely subsided and the scar tissue has fully matured.
