This is the only body endorsed in the country to certify that the physician has the required formal training.

Membership in this association guarantees that the surgeon remains constantly updated scientifically.

The success of your surgery depends 50% on the technique in the operating room and 50% on how you care for your body afterward.

The first 3 to 5 days require relative rest.

For office work, most patients return between day 7 and day 10.
