Liposuction
Liposuction, a surgical procedure designed to remove fat deposits from the body, is called liposuction. This procedure is performed in a hospital, or an office setting. Liposuction is a safe outpatient procedure, but it can have some risks. Patients with diabetes, heart problems, or pulmonary issues are at particular risk. Smokers are also at increased risk. Patients who are vulnerable to infection are also at risk.
You can have liposuction under local or general anesthesia. A thin tube is inserted in the desired area and connected with a vacuum. The tumescent solution is then used to suction out the fat. This solution contains lidocaine and a local anesthetic, which make the fat easier to remove. To replenish the tumescent liquid, you can use saline or epinephrine.
Breast augmentation
Breast augmentation is a type of plastic surgery that increases breast size. The procedure involves making an incision in the breast tissue. Next, the chest muscles are separated and the implant is inserted into the pocket. The implant is then placed behind the nose. While saline implants are usually empty and are filled with sterile salt water once they are in place, silicone implants are pre-filled with silicone gel. The surgical site is sealed with stitches or skin adhesive. Surgical tape may also be used to cover it.
Patients are asked to follow the instructions of the plastic surgeon for a speedy recovery. For a few days, they may be required to wear a sports bra. They should avoid exertion for at most one week. The surgeon may prescribe pain medication for patients to ease the recovery process. Most patients are able to return work or school within a few days after the procedure. But it is important to follow the instructions of the surgeon for the recovery process.
Neck lift
A neck lift can improve facial features and the appearance of your neck. It is performed under anesthesia and can produce swelling and bruising, which typically disappears within a few days. There will be some tightness and tingling. The potential risks include infection and a fever. The average recovery time is between 10-14 days. However, it can vary.
Candidates for neck lifts are generally in good health and between 40 and 80 years old. This surgery aims to improve the contours on the patient's neck, and face. It can also improve the appearance wrinkles, jowls or other signs and symptoms of aging. Many neck lifts are combined with other types of plastic surgery, such as a facelift and chin augmentation.
Brazilian buttlift
Brazilian buttlifts are one of the most well-known procedures for plastic surgery. But, they also have some limitations. The procedure can leave patients with significant swelling, bruising, and pain, which may last weeks or months. For these to be reduced, the surgeon will give you postoperative instructions. In addition, it is important to avoid strenuous activity for the first six to eight weeks after surgery.
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 will ask about any medications you take and whether you are allergic to any of them. Tell your healthcare provider if you take herbal supplements.
