00:00 Hello, how are you? I am Karina Alejandra. I came from Mexico and
00:04 had liposculpture with Retraction technology. Let me tell you about my experience.
00:22 I am Karina Alejandra, from Guadalajara, Mexico. I am here in Cartagena,
00:27 and I am very excited about my upcoming surgery with Dr. Fulvio Correa. Come along with me.
00:34 How are you? I am Karina, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, Karina. Thank you.
01:09 I love everything about Cartagena. I love the people; they are very kind. I love
01:30 the monuments, the food and the history. I am in love with Cartagena.
01:36 How are you? Welcome.
01:56 Thank you very much.
01:57 [Indistinct speech]
01:58 Thank you.
01:59 Make yourself at home.
02:01 Everyone has been very kind. Thank you.
02:03 The team is very kind,
02:06 and above all they have human warmth.
02:08 Yes, that is the most important thing,
02:10 and they have treated me very well.
02:13 Which areas of your body would you like to address?
02:15 I would like to focus more on my waist,
02:19 my abdomen,
02:21 and define the buttocks a little with liposuction. I am not sure how.
02:27 With fat transfer.
02:28 What we will do is look for a slightly more harmonious waist,
02:33 a curvier body, and also define the lower back
02:37 so the contour looks nicer.
02:40 And, of course, if you want,
02:43 we can add a little abdominal definition.
02:45 We can do that subtly because we have the technology,
02:49 as I mentioned during our preliminary consultation
02:52 by video call. I told you we have an interesting technology
02:58 that can help create very subtle abdominal definition that looks good.
03:04 We are ready. Our lovely patient Kary is in the operating room. We will perform
03:31 360 high-definition liposculpture using Retraction technology. She has
03:37 loose skin and an indication for a tummy tuck, but we have decided,
03:41 because she is young and has not yet had children, to perform high-definition liposculpture.
03:46 We are finishing the front, the abdomen. We first used
04:18 Retraction technology in [mode name indistinct], which helps dissolve the fat. Then we performed
04:24 liposuction throughout the abdomen, and lastly we are using
04:29 the Retraction technology again in skin-retraction mode.
04:33 This stimulates the production of new collagen. Through
04:38 radiofrequency and heat, it helps the skin retract a little, both
04:44 in the immediate and later postoperative periods, through collagen regeneration
04:50 in the months following surgery.
05:15 Here we are with our lovely Kary.
05:19 We operated on her just three days ago, right?
05:21 Yes, three days.
05:23 Only three days, and you can see how well she is doing.
05:26 We performed 360 high-definition liposculpture.
05:31 We treated some of that skin laxity with Retraction technology,
05:36 and I think we achieved an interesting result.
05:38 It has only been a few days.
05:40 Her swelling is going down and she is in the early stages of recovery,
05:45 but she is very happy.
05:48 As you can see, she looks radiant and is doing very well.
05:56 I thank the whole team, especially the doctor with the magic hands,
06:01 Dr. Fulvio Correa, for this experience,
06:04 which you can also have here.
