Art

Dr. Hidalgo is a practicing artist and believes it to be vital for sharpening aesthetic vision.

“Art enhances my perception of nuances in shape and form. This is critical to achieving optimal results in surgery, whether it is a facelift, a breast reduction, or a rhinoplasty. There is no better method for training and refining your eye than to be continually engaged as a visual artist.”

Dr. Hidalgo works in charcoal for his large scale drawings. Each one takes over a year to complete. Below are a few examples.

First time facelifts in patients well over 65 can achieve excellent results. However, they are more challenging because the skin is much thinner and less elastic. Also, facial fat content is typically depleted making it difficult to create elegant contours. These cases require much more finesse than the results in 45 year olds commonly touted on social media!

Sam & Meg present a primer on eyelid surgery . They covered it all except to say that discomfort is typically minimal and the results commonly last twenty years before a touch up may be indicated.

This patient is shown three years after her surgery. Long term results are the best measure of a successful outcome. This case highlights the subtle but critical contribution that a small chin implant makes to the final result. It evens the facial plane from top to bottom and by itself makes the nose appear less prominent. An extra small size is most commonly used in women and it is a “one and done” procedure. Rhinoplasty is complex and time consuming. Every imperfection is visible “on the table” and the procedure cannot conclude until all is perfect, regardless of the time necessary.

Placing Motiva silicone implants “in front of the muscle” is the rage today to the point of being over hyped. It works best with small implants in those with thicker tissues. The advantages are that it is an easy procedure with a quick recovery. Also, there is no unwanted breast movement with “pec” muscle contraction. On the other hand, under the muscle is better for mammograms and gives a much nicer upper breast contour when large implants are used. This was done in this very thin patient to produce a smooth upper breast contour with a larger implant.
