Cosmetic surgery is carried out to refine and reshape structures of the body and face in order to improve one’s appearance, confidence and self-esteem. Call us today or fill out a request to schedule your consultation!
Each cosmetic surgery operation is different since a lot depends on your individual requirements and circumstances. During the meeting with the surgeon you need to discuss your exact requirements and expectations, and disclose any fears you might have through your knowledge from talking to other people whom had similar surgery or from reading different articles or magazines.Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations as the surgeon will advise you as to how realistically could meet your requirements.
Initially, we discuss with our candidates their detailed medical history, which is a prerequisite, followed by clinical examination and planning of medical tests (such as blood, X-rays etc.). The use of computers coupled with digital photo shooting help many candidates to get an insight into their new look particularly in procedures such as rhinoplasty, liposuction etc. The study of our photo gallery can also give an idea based on previous similar operations.
Finally, the surgeon will explain to you the advantages and potential risks of each treatment and answers any queries you may have.
The best candidates for cosmetic surgery are people who are looking for improvement, not necessarily perfection, as results of a cosmetic surgery treatment are specific and not unlimited (i.e. It won’t necessarily change your looks to match your ideal person, or change people’s behaviour towards you).
Candidates
The best candidates for liposuction are people with firm skin, who have pockets of excess fat in certain areas that do not respond to the weight-loss methods, i.e. exercise,diet. Areas of fat that can be treated are the chin (double chin), tummy, thighs, arms,buttocks and cuffs for women, while for men in areas such as the tummy, chin, hips, and breasts in cases of gynecomastia.
Planning for the procedure
The medical record needs to be examined by the Doctor at the practice. We have the ability to remove excess fat as well as add in areas where needed to create a better shape and body contour (liposculpture).
Procedure and Tumescent method
Through a tiny incision, a thin cannula (2-3mm) is inserted to break up the fat cells and to vacuum through an aspirator the fat layer that lies beneath the skin. Tumescent method is a technique where we inject a medical fluid (vasoconstrictive and analgestic medicine) –in order to reduce blood loss and helps the fat be removed easily. Because of this method, it is rare to need to stay overnight wlile recovery period has been reduced dramatically.
After the operation
After the procedure you will be given to wear a special surgical garment for around three weeks. You should be able to return to work within the first week but some people may return sooner. As with any other operation it does depend on each individual and the type of surgery.
Exercise
Exercise is permitted after 3 weeks, similarly to receiving massage.
Liposuction is performed in many parts of the body and it is a quite safe procedure with a high proportion of successful results.
