Compensatory hyperhidrosis is a common side effect after ETS surgery, where excessive sweating shifts to other body areas. While surgical options remain limited and unpredictable, non-surgical treatments—ranging from medications to lifestyle changes—offer meaningful relief. Learn how Evita Clinic can guide you toward managing this challenging condition.
Smoking significantly impacts post-surgical healing, especially in breast surgeries and tummy tucks, by constricting blood vessels and reducing oxygen supply. This can lead to complications like necrosis, delayed healing, and hypertrophic scarring. Ensuring adequate blood flow is critical for optimal recovery and aesthetic results. To minimize risks, smokers should quit at least one week before surgery and remain smoke-free for at least two weeks postoperatively. Prioritizing this step improves healing outcomes and overall surgical success.

Post-surgical adhesions after gynecomastia surgery can cause skin dimpling, restricted movement, and even changes in skin color due to impaired blood circulation. Unlike BioBond, which dissolves within 2-4 months, adhesions may persist for over six months.

Learn how proper massage, exercise, and medical interventions can help manage adhesions effectively.
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a transformative procedure that enhances body contour and boosts confidence. However, like any major surgery, minor post-operative issues can arise, with seroma being one of the most common. Seroma occurs when fluid accumulates in the surgical area due to disrupted lymphatic flow. While typically harmless, proper prevention and management—such as compression garments, balanced activity, and drain care—are essential for a smooth recovery. Learn how to minimize risks and handle seroma effectively for optimal healing.

Anchor resection and Double incision are the two most common techniques in top surgery, each offering unique benefits tailored to individual anatomy and goals. Anchor resection provides a flat, smooth chest contour with better nipple sensation preservation, while Double incision creates a masculine, defined appearance with scars aligned to the pectoral muscles. Understanding the strengths and limitations of each method is crucial for achieving personalized, satisfying results.
Central obesity, often characterized by a protruding abdomen reminiscent of a gym ball—or even Santa Claus after too many cookies—poses significant health risks. Beyond aesthetics, this condition signals an accumulation of visceral fat, contributing to metabolic disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. At Evita Clinic, Dr. Francis Jeon emphasizes a strategic, step-by-step approach to combat central obesity. Starting with visceral fat reduction through diet, exercise, and advanced injectables like Wegovy, the treatment progresses to subcutaneous fat removal via liposuction or tummy tuck, ensuring both health improvements and aesthetic satisfaction. This comprehensive plan not only reshapes the body but also initiates a positive cycle of enhanced metabolism, confidence, and long-term health. Whether you’re aiming to manage central obesity or simply seeking a healthier lifestyle, early intervention is key to success.
Hypertrophic scars are a common concern after surgery, especially in high-tension areas like the chest or navel. This comprehensive guide explains their causes, prevention strategies, and effective treatments, including Steri-Strips, silicone gels, and scar revision surgery, with specialized care from Evita Clinic.
"Bio-bond, a common post-operative phenomenon after liposuction, signifies the body's natural healing process. While not a formal medical term, it describes the hardening of tissues as lymphatic fluids and fat particles mix and later solidify. At Evita Clinic, we minimize bio-bond and ensure faster recovery with free high-frequency therapy, lymphatic massages, and, when necessary, dissolving injections. Under Dr. Francis Jeon's expert care, patients experience personalized recovery plans, achieving smoother and more refined results."
