Liposuction
Liposuction, a surgical procedure designed to remove fat deposits from the body, is called liposuction. This can be done in a hospital setting or at home. Liposuction, although it is a safe procedure for outpatients, can pose risks. Patients with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or pulmonary diseases are particularly at higher risk. Smokers are also at risk. Patients who are susceptible to infection may also be at risk.
General or local anesthesia can be used for liposuction. A thin tube is inserted in the desired area and connected with a vacuum. The fat is then removed using a tumescent fluid. The solution is formulated with lidocaine, a local painkiller, and an anesthetic to make it easier to get rid of the fat. To replenish the tumescent fluid, a drip of epinephrine (or saline) is applied.
Breast augmentation
Breast augmentation is a type of plastic surgery that increases breast size. The procedure involves making a small incision in the breast tissue, separating it from the chest muscles, and inserting a silicone or saline implant into the pocket. The implant is then placed behind your nipple. Silicon implants are prefilled with silicone jelly, whereas saline implant are usually left empty. The surgical site will be closed with stitches or adhesive to the skin and covered with surgical taping.
During the recovery period, patients should follow the instructions of their plastic surgeon to ensure a quick recovery. For a few days, they may be required to wear a sports bra. They should avoid doing any strenuous activity for at least one week. To help with recovery, the surgeon may recommend pain medication. Patients usually return to work within a few week after the procedure. However it is important for patients to follow the surgeon’s instructions regarding the recovery process.
Neck lift
A neck lift can improve facial features and the appearance of your neck. The procedure is done with anesthesia. Sometimes, swelling and bruises can occur. However, these usually disappear within a few working days. Some people may feel tightness or tingling. The potential risks include infection and a fever. The average recovery time is between 10-14 days. However, it can vary.
Generally, candidates for a neck lift are in good general health and aged between forty-five and eighty. The main objective of this surgical procedure is to improve the contours of the patient's neck and face. It can also improve the appearance of wrinkles, jowls, and other signs of aging. The neck lift is often combined to other plastic surgery procedures like a facelift, laser skin resurfacing, and chin augmentation.
Brazilian buttlift
Brazilian butt lifting is one the most commonly performed procedures in plastic surgery. However, there are some disadvantages. The procedure can leave patients with significant swelling, bruising, and pain, which may last weeks or months. Postoperative instructions from the surgeon should be followed to minimize these symptoms. For the first six to 8 weeks after surgery, avoid strenuous activities.
Before you have the procedure, your healthcare provider will examine your overall health, current health problems, and other factors that could make you a good candidate. Your healthcare provider also will inquire about any medications or allergies you may have. Tell your healthcare provider if you take herbal supplements.
