Nutrition
Individualised nutritional counselling, with an emphasis on weight management, dietary optimisation in different clinical contexts and perioperative nutrition.
Nutrition plays an essential role in maintaining overall health, supporting metabolic balance, managing body weight and promoting recovery.
At Detalii Med in Baia Mare, nutritional counselling is provided by Paul Săplăcan, Nutritionist-Dietitian, and is designed for individuals seeking to improve their eating habits, manage their weight or receive nutritional support in connection with medical conditions or surgical procedures.
Our approach is based on evidence-based nutritional guidance, tailored to each patient's lifestyle, individual needs and personal goals.
Every nutritional programme begins with a comprehensive assessment of your medical history, eating habits, lifestyle and personal objectives. When appropriate, existing laboratory results and other relevant medical information are also taken into consideration.
Based on this evaluation, a personalised nutrition plan is developed, taking into account your food preferences, daily schedule, physical activity level and any associated medical conditions.
Rather than promoting restrictive diets or quick solutions, we focus on building balanced, sustainable eating habits that can be maintained over time.
An important part of our approach at Detalii Med is the collaboration between nutrition, plastic surgery and dermatology.
For patients preparing for body contouring procedures, nutritional counselling can help achieve and maintain a stable weight and optimise nutritional status before surgery.
During postoperative recovery, adequate nutrition, including sufficient protein, energy and essential micronutrients, can support the body's natural healing processes.
Nutritional assessment may also complement dermatological care for certain conditions, such as acne, when specific dietary factors are relevant to the individual patient.
Regular follow-up consultations allow us to assess progress, adjust recommendations and address any challenges encountered along the way.
Our goal is to help patients develop a balanced, healthy relationship with food through realistic, personalised and practical nutritional guidance.
Nutritional counselling is available as an independent service or as part of a coordinated care plan alongside other medical consultations at our clinic. No referral is required for private appointments.
Frequently asked questions
What can I expect from my first nutrition consultation?
Your initial consultation includes a detailed assessment of your eating habits, medical history, lifestyle and personal goals. When relevant, existing laboratory results may be reviewed, and additional investigations may be recommended if medically appropriate. Based on this assessment, your nutritionist-dietitian develops a personalised eating plan, together with practical recommendations for meal planning, food choices and incorporating healthier habits into your daily routine. The aim is to establish realistic goals and create a sustainable nutrition plan tailored to your individual needs, preferences and schedule. Your plan can be reviewed and adjusted during follow-up appointments according to your progress and evolving needs.
Is nutritional counselling necessary before aesthetic surgery?
Nutritional counselling is not routinely required before every aesthetic procedure, but it may be beneficial in certain situations. For body contouring procedures such as abdominoplasty or body lift surgery, maintaining a stable weight and adequate nutritional status are important factors in surgical preparation and postoperative recovery. A nutritional assessment may also be recommended for patients experiencing significant weight fluctuations, unbalanced eating habits or medical conditions that could affect healing. The need for nutritional counselling is assessed individually, based on your medical evaluation and the type of surgery being considered.
How often are nutritional follow-up appointments recommended?
The frequency of follow-up consultations depends on your individual goals, medical needs and progress. During the initial phase, appointments may be scheduled approximately every 3–4 weeks to review your progress, discuss any challenges and adjust your nutrition plan when necessary. As you achieve your goals and develop sustainable eating habits, the interval between appointments may be extended. Regular follow-up helps support long-term progress and allows your nutrition plan to evolve alongside your needs, without relying on excessive dietary restrictions or short-term solutions.
