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.”
Cicatrização Acelerada
Accelerated Healing:
Techniques and approaches that help speed up the natural healing process, often through nutrition, rest, and low-impact exercises.
“A diet rich in nutrients can lead to accelerated healing, which is particularly beneficial after major surgeries.”
Regeneração Celular
Cellular Regeneration:
The process of repairing and regenerating cells, often encouraged by nutrition and lifestyle choices to improve skin and tissue recovery.
“Functional nutrition can promote cellular regeneration, which is essential for skin health after surgery.”
Evitar Alimentos Inflamatórios
Avoiding Inflammatory Foods:
A dietary approach to reduce intake of foods that cause inflammation, like sugar and processed foods, to support a smoother recovery.
“Avoiding inflammatory foods helps keep swelling down and speeds up the recovery process.”
Fisioterapia Pós-operatória
Postoperative Physical Therapy:
Gentle physical therapy exercises to restore movement, reduce stiffness, and promote circulation for faster healing.
“Postoperative physical therapy aids in restoring mobility and preventing complications.”
Nutrição Pós-operatória
Postoperative Nutrition:
A nutrition plan focused on supporting recovery, reducing inflammation, and enhancing tissue repair after surgery.
“Postoperative nutrition plays a vital role in reducing recovery time and minimizing complications.”
Dieta Pré-operatória
Preoperative Diet:
A dietary plan recommended before surgery to ensure optimal nutrition, which may involve increasing protein or reducing inflammatory foods.
“A preoperative diet rich in vitamins and protein prepares the body for a smooth recovery.”
Preparação Física
Physical Preparation:
A regimen of exercises and lifestyle adjustments to strengthen the body before surgery, reducing recovery time.
“Physical preparation helps patients recover faster and reduces potential surgical risks.”
Regeneração Tecidual
Tissue Regeneration:
The process by which the body repairs and restores damaged tissues, often aided by nutrition and rest post-surgery.
“Good nutrition supports tissue regeneration, speeding up the recovery process for patients.”
Desintoxicação Corporal
Body Detoxification:
The process of eliminating toxins from the body, which can support cellular health and enhance recovery post-surgery.
“A body detoxification plan can reduce inflammation and prepare the body for a smoother recovery.”
Microcirculação
Microcirculation:
The circulation of blood in the smallest blood vessels, essential for tissue repair and inflammation reduction after surgery.
“Improving microcirculation aids in delivering nutrients and oxygen to the surgical site, supporting healing.”
Restauração de Colágeno
Collagen Restoration:
Encouraging the body’s production of collagen, which supports skin and tissue integrity, especially post-surgery.
“Collagen restoration techniques can help improve skin elasticity and texture after surgery.”
Apoio Imunológico
Immune Support:
Strengthening the immune system to reduce infection risk and promote faster recovery post-surgery.
“Immune support through a balanced diet and supplements is essential for post-surgical recovery.”
Reparação Celular
Cell Repair:
The process by which cells heal and replace damaged components, critical for tissue health and recovery post-surgery.
“Cell repair is a fundamental part of the healing process, especially in areas affected by surgery.”
Cicatrização de Feridas
Wound Healing:
The body’s natural process of closing and repairing tissue after surgery, often supported by nutrition and careful care.
“Proper wound healing is supported by a nutrient-rich diet and good hygiene practices.”
Reposição Nutricional
Nutritional Replenishment:
Restoring essential nutrients that support energy levels, immunity, and tissue repair post-surgery.
“Nutritional replenishment helps the body recover by providing it with the vitamins and minerals it needs.”
Alimentos Anti-inflamatórios
Anti-inflammatory Foods:
Foods that help reduce inflammation, supporting recovery and preventing complications after surgery.
“Incorporating anti-inflammatory foods can reduce swelling and support a quicker recovery.”
