Functional Plastic Surgery Flashcards
Cirurgia Plástica Funcional
Functional Plastic Surgery:
A plastic surgery approach that treats the body holistically, considering factors like nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle to enhance overall well-being.
“Functional plastic surgery aims to improve not just appearance but also the patient’s long-term health.”
Bem-estar Integral
Holistic Well-being:
A focus on treating the whole person—body, mind, and lifestyle—rather than only addressing specific physical concerns.
“Holistic well-being is a key focus in functional plastic surgery, aiming to improve patients’ lives beyond aesthetics.”
Cuidados Pré-operatórios
Preoperative Care:
The care provided before surgery, including health assessments, dietary changes, and preparation to optimize surgical outcomes.
“Preoperative care includes lifestyle adjustments to ensure the patient is in the best condition for surgery.”
Estilo de Vida Saudável
Healthy Lifestyle:
An approach to life that includes balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and adequate rest to support physical and mental health.
“A healthy lifestyle can significantly enhance the results of plastic surgery by supporting recovery and maintaining outcomes.”
Nutrição Funcional
Functional Nutrition:
A nutrition strategy that considers the body’s individual needs to optimize function and aid in recovery and overall health.
“Functional nutrition helps plastic surgery patients by providing essential nutrients that promote healing and vitality.”
Exercício Físico
Physical Exercise:
Structured physical activity recommended to improve body function, support recovery, and maintain the results of surgery.
“Physical exercise is often recommended post-surgery to maintain strength and support recovery.”
Redução de Inflamação
Inflammation Reduction:
Practices, including diet and lifestyle changes, aimed at reducing inflammation to promote healing and prevent complications.
“Inflammation reduction through diet can support faster recovery in plastic surgery patients.”
Gestão do Estresse
Stress Management:
Techniques and practices to reduce stress, supporting physical and mental recovery, which can enhance surgery outcomes.
“Good stress management can improve plastic surgery outcomes by promoting a smoother recovery.”
Suplementação
Supplementation:
The addition of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to support recovery, tissue repair, and overall health in patients.
“Supplementation with vitamins can enhance tissue repair and improve the healing process after surgery.”
Homeostase
Homeostasis:
The body’s ability to maintain stable internal conditions, which is essential for optimal healing and recovery after surgery.
“Maintaining homeostasis is critical during recovery, as it helps balance body functions and supports healing.”
Equilíbrio Hormonal
Hormonal Balance:
Stabilizing hormone levels to support recovery and prevent stress on the body, which can affect healing.
“Hormonal balance is important for maintaining steady energy levels and aiding in post-surgical healing.”
Estresse Oxidativo
Oxidative Stress:
A condition where there is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants, often managed to prevent complications in the healing process.
“Minimizing oxidative stress can enhance surgical recovery by protecting cells from damage.”
Autofagia
Autophagy:
The body’s process of breaking down and recycling damaged cells, promoting cellular regeneration and reducing inflammation, which can aid in recovery.
“Autophagy plays a crucial role in healing by eliminating damaged cells and reducing inflammation after surgery.”
Equilíbrio Eletrolítico
Electrolyte Balance:
Maintaining proper levels of electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, to support bodily functions and recovery after surgery.
“Electrolyte balance is crucial for maintaining fluid stability and energy levels during recovery.”
Inflamação Crônica
Chronic Inflammation:
Prolonged inflammation that can hinder healing, often managed through diet and lifestyle adjustments.
“Reducing chronic inflammation is essential for ensuring effective healing after surgery.”
