Welcome to MiKO Plastic Surgery, where we prioritize not just beauty, but also your overall well-being. As we celebrate World Hypertension Day, it's crucial to shed light on the often-overlooked connection between hypertension (high blood pressure) and plastic surgery.  While enhancing your appearance is important, safeguarding your health should always come first. Let's delve into how hypertension and plastic surgery intersect and how you can make informed decisions for your health and aesthetic goals.

World Hypertension Day:

 is a global call to action to raise awareness about high blood pressure (HBP) and its impact on health.  While managing HBP is crucial for overall well-being, it's understandable to also feel self-conscious about the physical signs it can leave behind.  Here at MiKO Plastic Surgery, we believe you deserve to look and feel your best while prioritizing your health.

The Link Between Hypertension and Plastic Surgery:

Hypertension affects millions worldwide, and its implications extend beyond heart health.  Many may not realize that hypertension can significantly impact surgical outcomes, including those of plastic surgery procedures.  Elevated blood pressure levels can increase the risk of complications during surgery, such as excessive bleeding, poor wound healing, and even cardiovascular events.

Plastic surgery, whether it's a facelift, liposuction, or breast augmentation, involves various surgical techniques that require the body to undergo stress.  Individuals with hypertension may have compromised cardiovascular systems, making them more vulnerable to these stresses.  Additionally, certain medications used to manage hypertension can interact with anesthesia and other drugs administered during surgery, necessitating careful preoperative evaluation and management.

HBP and Facial Changes:

Chronically high blood pressure can put stress on your blood vessels, leading to facial puffiness, wrinkles, and even a ruddier complexion.  These changes can be a source of insecurity, impacting your self-esteem.

MiKO Plastic Surgery Offers Solutions:

At MiKO Plastic Surgery, your health and safety are our top priorities.  Before undergoing any procedure, it's imperative to undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation, including assessing your blood pressure levels.  If hypertension is detected, our experienced medical team will work closely with you and your primary care physician to optimize your health before surgery.

Managing hypertension requires a multifaceted approach, including lifestyle modifications, medication adherence, and regular monitoring.  Our team emphasizes the importance of adopting heart-healthy habits, such as maintaining a balanced diet, engaging in regular exercise, managing stress, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption.  By effectively managing your hypertension, you not only improve your overall health but also enhance the safety and success of your plastic surgery journey.

Empowering Informed Decisions:

We understand that considering plastic surgery can be a significant decision, and we're here to support you every step of the way.  Our board-certified plastic surgeons prioritize open communication and patient education, ensuring that you have all the information you need to make informed choices about your treatment options.

If hypertension poses concerns about undergoing certain procedures, our team can explore alternative options or recommend strategies to mitigate risks. Your safety, satisfaction, and well-being are paramount to us, and we're committed to delivering exceptional care tailored to your individual needs and goals.   At MiKO, we offer a range of cosmetic procedures that can help you address these concerns while complementing your HBP management plan. Here are a few examples:

• Botox® and Dysport®: These injectables can soften wrinkles and fine lines caused by years of facial expressions.
• Dermal Fillers: Fillers like Juvederm® and Restylane® can restore lost volume in the cheeks and temples, addressing puffiness and creating a more youthful appearance.
• Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift): This procedure can remove excess skin and fatty deposits around the eyes, alleviating a tired or aged appearance sometimes associated with HBP.
• Facelift: A facelift can address sagging skin and jowls, creating a more sculpted and rejuvenated facial contour.
• Prioritizing Your Health:
