5 Things you didn’t know about plastic surgery

5 Things you didn’t know about plastic surgery

Introduction

Plastic surgery is commonly performed nowadays in the United States and in most other countries around the globe. Depending on the culture and civilization of the country, different procedures are requested more than others.

Plastic surgery often involves consistent investigations before the procedure takes place. It is also true that in a vast majority of cases, the aesthetic procedures deliver impressive results and can significantly improve the quality of life of the patient.

In this article we will discuss five things you didn’t know about plastic surgery:

Most requested plastic surgery procedures in the United States are breast augmentation and liposuction

Considering the fact that it is very easy to lose the beautiful contours of the body and start accumulating fat in areas difficult to address with exercise and diet, it is no wonder that liposuction is in such demand nowadays. Moreover, patients interested in the procedure discover soon enough that there is no such thing as localized weight loss.

For example, there are patients who want to get rid of unwanted fat deposits on the flanks and they keep a strict diet to reach their goals. However, some discover soon enough that the breasts might have lost volume but the flanks are barely affected by the weight loss. Liposuction is not a weight loss method; it is a body remodeling procedure who targets people of a normal weight who want to get rid of stubborn fat pockets from different areas of the body. Liposuction is commonly performed on the chin, ankles, calves, thighs, abdomen, and arms, among other areas of the body.

Liposuction can be performed on just one area of the body or on multiple areas to contour the body furthermore. It can also be performed as a stand-alone procedure or with other procedures. Liposuction is probably one of the procedures most used in combination with other surgical procedures as it can improve the aesthetic results achieved by removing the excess fat.

Breast augmentation surgery with silicone implants is also in the top two most requested plastic surgery procedures in the United States. The procedure has been performed for more than 50 years now and the implants we use nowadays are perfectly safe and emulate the feel of the natural breast tissue like never before. Moreover, the risks associated with this procedure have decreased over the years with the developments of modern medicine.

Breast augmentation can be performed with liposuction of the abdominal wall and the flanks to improve the whole appearance of the front part of the body. Allow two weeks for the recovery after these combined procedures before resuming work and more than a month before resuming physical exercises.

The patient’s behavior has a significant impact on the results

If you have a look at forums or boards discussing plastic surgery, you will notice patients saying this plastic surgeon or the other is no good because he left me with these results. While it is true that in some cases the results are a direct consequence of the lack of experience of the plastic surgeon, in many others the patient has a role to play as well. The patient’s behavior after the procedure has a high impact on the results. The results are not all in the hands of the plastic surgeon, but in the patient’s own hands as well. Each procedure has a list of post-operative recommendations that should be followed to the letter to avoid complications and have a smooth recovery process. When these instructions are not followed, the results can be altered even before they become final.

For example, in all cases of fat transfer and implants, the patient is advised not to sit or lie on the operated area to avoid the death of the fat transferred or the shifting of the implants. If this is not followed, the results are out of the hands of the plastic surgeon. Moreover, when it comes to the incisions and the scars, the patient’s predisposition to vicious scarring can also have an effect on their appearance. Moreover, to scar beautifully the patient is advised to wear compression garments and not use any products on the wounds that are not recommended by the plastic surgeon.

Not all the risks associated with plastic surgery can be prevented

While it would be amazing if we could prevent all risks associated with surgical procedures, this is not possible. There are risks and complications that could be avoided by following certain instructions of the plastic surgeon or performing the procedure in a certain manner and preparing properly for the procedure, but not all risks can be prevented. Some of the risks are associated with the body’s response to different factors.

For example, when it comes to bad scarring, it is usually a genetic predisposition towards developing keloid or hypertrophic scars, and this can’t be prevented. Discuss the risks associated with the procedure you are interested in detail with the plastic surgeon before scheduling your procedure.

Additional surgery might be required even after a successful initial surgery

So you had a breast augmentation with silicone implants and everything was perfect. You are happy with the results, the scars are small and hidden in the natural folds of the body, and your breasts are the ideal shape and size. Why would you think about undergoing an additional procedure? Well, additional procedures might be required even if the initial procedure was a success. This might be necessary in case a complication occurs (e.g. capsular contracture) to remove and replace expired breast implants or to correct an imperfection that occurred with the passing of time.

Just think of a breast reduction. You can have it in your 20s or even sooner if your breasts are overly big, but this doesn’t mean that your breasts will stay the same after the surgery forever. Chances are your breasts will be affected by mammary ptosis at some point in the life, probably after 40 or 50 years old, but it can happen sooner if your breasts are still on the big side.

When considering plastic surgery, keep in mind that once you open that door, additional procedures might be required. For some patients, the need will occur due to complications developing, for others just to improve more areas of the body.

It can improve the health of the patient

Plastic surgery is mainly performed for aesthetic purposes or to correct a congenital defect or imperfection. However, at the same time, plastic surgery can improve the health condition of the patient.

Just think of the tummy tuck. The plastic surgeon can correct umbilical hernia and also strengthen loose abdominal muscles to improve body posture and make the abdomen firm and flat again. Breast reduction can improve the functionality of the patient that can be impacted by the overly large size of the breasts. The patient can have an improved health as she will be able to do sports and other physical activities that were difficult or impossible to perform before. Moreover, different skin conditions can occur on the inframammary fold for patients with overly large breasts. These skin conditions are almost impossible to treat due to the perspiration that is a constant presence in that area. After the procedure, the patient will find it easy to cure these dermatological conditions.

Conclusion

Plastic surgery is a hot topic for debate nowadays, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that we know all there is to know about plastic surgery procedures and what they entail. Many people are not aware of the fact that not all the risks associated with these procedures can be prevented or that the results of plastic surgery are not exclusively in the hands of the plastic surgeon. The patient’s ability to follow the post-operative instructions is essential for the success of the procedure and achieving satisfactory results. When these instructions are not followed, even the most beautiful results achieved by a talented, board-certified plastic surgeon can be altered within the first few months after the procedure.

Other things that most people don’t know is that breast augmentation with implants and liposuction are the most commonly requested and performed plastic surgery procedures in the United States and that plastic surgery can even improve the health of the patient and not only his or her aesthetic appearance.

What can plastic surgery do for you?

What can plastic surgery do for you?

Introduction

Many people don’t really know what plastic surgery can do for patients. Some still believe plastic surgery should only be used for reconstructive purposes while others believe that breast augmentations and Brazilian butt lifts sums up the core of plastic surgery. None of this is true. Plastic surgery offers minimally invasive or more complex procedures to correct imperfections of the body and face, augmentations, and reductions of the body to make them more harmonious, erase the signs of aging, or regain the beauty of the body after pregnancy and weight loss.

The term used for plastic surgery comes from Greek where it means to model or restore shape. Patients interested in undergoing plastic surgery ho do their research can be astonished by what things can be achieved. Moreover, it is quite common nowadays to see a beautiful woman because she has a talented plastic surgeon and not because she is naturally gifted or spends a lot of time taking care of her appearance. Round, beautiful breasts and a curvaceous body can be created with the help of plastic surgery, but this is not the only thing that can be achieved with these types of procedures. In this article, we will discuss what can plastic surgery do for you.

First and foremost, we should mention that the aim of plastic surgery in general is the improvement in the aesthetics of the body according to the desires of the patient and the generally accepted standards of beauty. The plastic surgeon has both the role of a doctor but also an artist who will work on the tissues of the patient to transform them into a work of art.

Correct imperfections and congenital defects

More and more nowadays, plastic surgery is performed to correct imperfections of the body and congenital defects. Up until a few years ago, it wasn’t unnatural for someone to struggle with having a big nose or strange looking ears throughout their lifetime. In modern days, these kinds of imperfections tend to be sorted very early on in the patient’s life, sometimes even in their childhood years. Nowadays we perform plastic surgery to correct imperfections even for children who are five or six years old. Parents decide to have the procedure done as soon as possible and preferably before the child goes to school to avoid the damage that can occur after bullying that is often associated with congenital defects and visible body imperfections. Plastic surgery can be used to correct these defects and imperfections and allow the patient to have a normal life without the stigma associated with them.

Improve the overall appearance of the body

Most of us already know that liposuction is among the two most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures in the United States and all over the world, and this says a lot about what plastic surgery can do for you. Liposuction is not a weight loss method like many tend to believe. The procedure is performed to eliminate unwanted fat deposits from areas of the body that are difficult to address with physical exercise and diet.

But liposuction is not the only procedure that can be performed to improve the overall appearance of the body. Nowadays it is also very common for patients to undergo combined procedures to get a result that affects the general appearance of the body and more than just one feature. For example, patients can have breast augmentations with liposuction of the abdominal wall, which will make the waist thinner and the breasts larger. It is also common for patients to undergo procedures where liposuction is combined with fat transfer.

A popular procedure is the hourglass tummy tuck, which aims to get an hourglass silhouette while also correcting the appearance of the tummy. The procedure entails the use of liposuction on the abdomen and the flanks, the tummy tuck to strengthen loose abdominal muscles, correct umbilical hernias and eliminate the excess skin, and fat transfer to the hips to make them more voluminous and alluring.

Plastic surgery can help you improve the overall appearance of the body; however it is important to choose a board-certified and experienced plastic surgeon who will guide you through this process if you want to make the most out of your plastic surgery procedure.

Erase or delay signs of aging

There are several paradoxes that impact our lives. First, we are expected to have plenty of experience even from the early days of adulthood, and second, we are expected to look young and fit throughout professional life. It sounds a bit impossible, right? Nowadays people are active in the professional field until very late in their lives, so looking younger and fit has become a necessity for many. This the reason why many patients in their late 40s are scheduling plastic surgery each day.

Plastic surgery can help you erase some of the signs of aging from the body and face and can also delay the signs of aging. Procedures that are commonly performed to eliminate the signs of aging are liposuction on the midline, the tummy tuck, breast and butt lift, and all other lifting procedures. An excess of skin elasticity and the occurrence of ptosis are the general signs of aging which can be corrected with the help of plastic surgery. Keep in mind that while we can erase some of the signs of aging or delay their onset, we can’t prevent or delay the aging process forever.

Make the body more proportionate by augmenting or reducing the size of different features

Now many patients resort to the breast or butt augmentations because they are safe and efficient methods to get the breasts or buttocks of their dreams practically overnight. Many patients who choose plastic surgery are doing it to reduce or increase the size of a feature of the body. It is common for these types of procedures to be performed on the breasts and buttocks, but we can also have hip augmentations performed.

When it comes to augmenting the size of a feature of the body, usually there are two methods that can be used. One involves the use of implants; the other the patient’s own fat cells. Augmentations with implants provide more durable results with little effort for the patient but are also associated with more risks and complications. Fat transfer performed for augmentation purposes don’t deliver results as impressive as when implants are used, and the patient should be careful and avoid weight fluctuations to sustain the results in time.

Regaining a beautiful body after pregnancy and weight loss

Pregnancy and weight loss are two of the factors that can significantly change the appearance of the body. During pregnancy, it is mostly the breasts and the tummy that get affected by the changes, but in the case of weight loss, the whole body can wear the marks of excessive weight, even after this weight is gone.

Plastic surgery can remove the marks left by pregnancy or weight loss and help you regain the beautiful body you had before. When it comes to improving the appearance of the body after pregnancy and weight loss, we are often talking about undergoing combined procedures. After pregnancy, the package of procedures that are performed even has a name, which is the Mommy Makeover, and it often consists of a tummy tuck and a breast lift, and possibly liposuction as well. After weight loss, it is common for patients to need to have a tummy tuck performed, a procedure on the breasts, liposuction, as well as other lifting procedures, depending on the severity of the skin ptosis. Generally speaking, the more dramatic the weight loss, the more plastic surgery procedures will be required to correct it.

Conclusion

Plastic surgery has certain limitations, and it also involves risks and potential complications. At the same time, plastic surgery can do amazing things for you such as correct congenital defects, erase the signs of aging, and improve the overall appearance of the body. Plastic surgery can help you regain a beautiful body with a better contour after one or multiple pregnancies and considerable weight loss. The augmentation or reduction of different features of the body to make it more proportionate to the rest of the patient’s anatomy is something else that plastic surgery can do for you. To find out what procedure or procedures are recommended for your particular case, schedule a pre-operative consultation with the plastic surgeon.

What to expect after undergoing plastic surgery in your 20s

What to expect after undergoing plastic surgery in your 20s

The modern-day reality is that people of a young age are seeking help from plastic surgery to get a better start in life by enhancing their physical appearance. Plastic surgery helps patients correct physical defects and harmonize the features of the body. Undergoing plastic surgery early in life is sometimes necessary for patients who want to get rid of the emotional struggles that are associated with different aesthetic imperfections. For example, underdeveloped breasts can make a woman feel less desirable and not feminine enough, and in time this can affect many areas of her life and the choices she makes. At the same time, having overly large breasts can lead to health conditions especially associated with body posture and spine deformations and can put the patient through constant and persistent pain.

Undergoing plastic surgery in your 20s can change your life for the better and change how you see and feel about yourself. This can bring numerous benefits; however, patients should also be aware of the long-term consequences that can occur.

So, what to expect after undergoing plastic surgery in your 20s? If the procedure is successful, you can expect to have an improved body appearance and also a better self-image. If we are talking about correcting a body imperfection, the results of the procedures are often permanent. However, when considering other procedures to enhances the shape of the body, undergoing surgery early in life can also mean that additional surgeries might be required later on down the road.

When it comes to breast augmentations with implants, you should know that the implants will need to be removed and replaced ten or twenty years later. Moreover, a breast lift might also be necessary aside from replacing the implants as the breasts are constantly affected by the passing of time and other factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight fluctuations.

The plastic surgeon will recommend patients undergoing surgery in their 20s to make sure they understand that the body will continue to change. If you have a liposuction in your 20s, the results won’t be permanent or long-term unless you are committed to maintaining a constant and stable weight through the years to come.

The transformations that occur on the body after undergoing surgery will be affected by the natural aging process. This means that your breasts might look perfect after a breast surgery performed in your 20s, but later on in life they will still change their appearance.

For young patients, it is important to take enough time and weigh in the pros and cons of undergoing plastic surgery and make sure that the decision is personal and not dependent on external factors. If the partner you have in your 20s thinks you will look better with bigger breasts, this is not a good reason to undergo surgery.

Educating the patients about the risks and complications of plastic surgery

Educating patients about the risks and complications of plastic surgery

Introduction

Plastic surgery is a hot conversation topic nowadays. Many people believe they know a lot about plastic surgery, but when consulting with an experienced plastic surgeon, most of the time it turns out many of the facts they considered true were actually just myths and legends. This is the reasons why many patients still show up for the pre-operative consultation for liposuction with the idea that the procedure will help them lose weight, and many others have the same expectations from the tummy tuck.

Some of these myths have origins in some real facts that certain plastic surgeons have exploited and advertised for them to attract more patients. This is the reason why there are still plenty of doctors telling patients that liposuction can be used for weight loss purposes. At the same time, there are plastic surgeons committed to educating patients about what plastic surgery really entails and the risks and complications associated with it.

It is essential for a patient seeking help from plastic surgery to understand exactly how the procedure works, what are the risks associated, how these risks can be minimized, and what are its limitations.

The ideal candidate for plastic surgery

Before anything else, you should know that good communication with the plastic surgeon is essential. The patient should be able to talk openly and honestly about his medical history, medication, and allergies to help the plastic surgeon form an idea about his eligibility for the procedure. Plastic surgery is not a one size fits all, and all procedures can and are often customized to fit the needs of the patient. Patients undergoing plastic surgery should be in a good emotional and physical condition; however, nowadays an experienced plastic surgeon can also operate on patients with certain conditions, including diabetes.

Generally speaking, you should know that plastic surgery poses a risk, but the presence of preexisting chronic or severe conditions can increase the risk exponentially. People who suffer from pulmonary, heart and blood afflictions should avoid undergoing plastic surgery, and the same is valid for people who suffer from depression or other emotional conditions or who are not able to stop smoking at for at least a few weeks before and after the procedure.

People who take drugs or drink alcohol in excess are also not suitable to undergo plastic surgery. It is recommended to share your habits with the plastic surgeon during the initial consultation, as well as the medical history, medication that you might be taking or potential allergies.

Smoking can trigger severe complications after plastic surgery that include (but are not limited to) delayed wound healing and skin necrosis. To have a fast and smooth recovery period and to minimize the risks and complications associated with plastic surgery, it is preferable to quit smoking weeks before the procedure and stay non-smoking for the same amount of time afterwards. There are clinical studies associating smoking with an increased rate of developing an infection and also anesthetic complications.

A good candidate for plastic surgery is a patient who doesn’t smoke, is emotionally stable, and lives a balanced and healthy life. The expectations from the procedure need to be realistic. It is not the plastic surgeon’s responsibility to change your life, and this is something you can do after the procedure. Moreover, it is essential for e patients of plastic surgery to understand and accept the benefits but also the disadvantages of undergoing plastic surgery. If this sounds like you, then you are probably eligible to undergo plastic surgery. Otherwise (and it doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t have plastic surgery), the risk of developing a complication is increased.

Risks and complications of plastic surgery

Each procedure is different, and each patient is different. When considering the risks of plastic surgery, you should know that in a vast majority of cases they rarely occur if the patient is eligible for the procedure and he follows the recommendations of the plastic surgeon for pre-operative preparation and post-operative care.

Among the risks with undergoing general anesthesia are cardiac arrhythmia, embolism, and obstruction of the respiratory ways, among others. The obstruction of the respiratory ways during anesthesia can occur due to the irritation that causes a spasm in the larynges. Cerebral lesions can be caused by the lack of oxygenation to the cerebrum. Malignant hyperthermia is a rare complication in which the temperature, arterial tension, and the cardiac frequency have increased levels. If undetected and untreated, it can cause the death of the patient.

Patients with cardiac or respiratory conditions, as well as patients who are obese, have an increased risk of developing complications during anesthesia, and this is why it is important to tell the doctor if you are suffering from any condition before scheduling your procedure.

If the patient eats or drinks in the 6 to 8 hours before the procedure when fasting is recommended, another complication can be triggered. Aspiration is caused when the patient vomits and it ends up in the lungs. This could cause infections, chronic cough, and pneumonia. It is important not to drink or eat anything for a minimum of five hours pre-operatively.

Excessive blood loss is another complication that can occur after any type of surgery. There will be a certain amount of blood loss and this is natural, but if it is excessive, it could cause other severe complications. When blood loss happens during the operation, the plastic surgeon can take care of it, but when it occurs after the procedure, the patient should seek medical assistance as soon as possible. Arterial hypotension represents a remarkable decrease in the arterial tension that can lead to cardiac arrhythmias or myocardial infarction.

A common complication after any type of surgery is infection. The incidence of developing an infection is very small (under 1%) if the patient is prescribed antibiotics to be taken for five days after the surgery. Keep in mind that the procedure should also be performed with the patient getting antibiotics through the IV to minimize the risks of developing an infection. Post-operative infections are dangerous, and they can present symptoms such as high fever, intense pain, and pus coming from the incision site. It is important to seek medical assistance or get in contact with the plastic surgeon as soon as you notice the first signs of infection.

Delayed wound healing can occur in different circumstances such as in patients who smoke, who don’t wear the compressive garments or girdle, or patients who have chosen implants that are too big for their anatomy to be inserted into the breasts or buttocks.

Aside from the complications that occur in rare conditions, there are other side effects that can be encountered by patients after undergoing plastic surgery. Among these are seroma and hematoma (accumulation of blood or fluids on the surgical area), swelling and bruising.

There are also risks that are not related to the health of the patient, such as getting unsatisfactory results. This can happen when the patient has chosen an inexperienced plastic surgeon, when the patient didn’t have good communication with the plastic surgeon, or when the patient didn’t manage to follow the post-operative recommendations. In case of unsatisfactory results, the recommendation is to wait at least six to eight months after the procedure to make sure the results are final and only after this to get a second opinion and maybe revision surgery to correct the initial results of the surgery.

Conclusion

Educating the patients about the risks and complications of plastic surgery is important. A patient who knows what to expect is better equipped to manage the recovery period and understands why the plastic surgeon’s recommendations for post-operative care are so strict.

Generally speaking, the risks of plastic surgery are reduced for patients who are good candidates for the procedure and able to follow the pre and post-operative instructions from the plastic surgeon. Make sure to discuss all the details about your health condition and medical history with the plastic surgeon before the procedure is scheduled.

While plastic surgery is generally associated with a low incidence of developing a complication post-op, patients need to be aware that this might happen and to know when to contact the plastic surgeon or seek medical assistance.

Plastic surgery to erase the signs of aging off the body

Plastic surgery to erase the signs of aging

Due to bad lifestyle habits or a genetic predisposition, it is often the case that our bodies don’t show the age we feel inside. There are many people who are active and with a young soul trapped in a body affected by the passing of time and with its appearance altered by the mistakes of the past. Smoking, overeating, and a lack of exercise can have a negative impact on the body that can become visible even from an early age. Even if the patient changes these lifestyle habits, the damage they have already done on the body is difficult to erase, unless using plastic surgery.

There are many reasons why people seek help from plastic surgery to erase the signs of aging. One of them is wanting to look younger for a new partner. More and more people nowadays start families later on in life with a different partner. Many women find themselves feeling young and with a desire to get a new lease on life in their late 40s, with almost adult children and a relationship that ended after many years of living together. It is only natural for these women to try again and start new families and relationships with people that are better for them. But the reality is that despite feeling young, their bodies are probably already wearing the signs of multiple pregnancies, weight fluctuations, and also the natural process of aging.

In many cases, the signs of aging that are visible on the body are pretty similar for men and women, such as stubborn fat pockets in the abdomen and the flanks that are difficult to eliminate with exercise and diet. Also, there is a certain level of skin sagginess and tissue atrophy, especially on the breasts for women.

The most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures to erase the signs of aging are liposuction, tummy tuck, gynecomastia, and breast lift. Other lifting procedures might be necessary, depending on the age and condition of the patient.

Liposuction is used to eliminate the fat deposits that are difficult to target with other methods and provides impressive results when the patient has a good skin tonus. If the skin has lost elasticity, chances are the plastic surgeon will advise you to combine liposuction with other procedures to eliminate the excess skin. The tummy tuck is one of the procedures performed with the purpose of strengthening loose abdominal muscles and eliminating the excess skin and fat tissue from the abdominal area.

The breasts are also affected by the passing of time, and their appearance can change a lot over the years, especially if the woman has had multiple pregnancies or weight fluctuations. With time, the breasts can develop breast ptosis that is characterized by a lack of firmness and perkiness of the breasts. Undergoing a breast lift can correct this issue and give the breasts a more youthful appearance.

How to get a satisfying plastic surgery experience

How to get a satisfying plastic surgery experience

Introduction

If you have a look at mass media, it might seem that getting satisfying results after plastic surgery is like a game of Russian roulette. Sometimes people win, other times they lose and there is nothing to be done to influence this. The reality is however different, and there are reasons why people don’t get a satisfying plastic surgery experience. Moreover, knowing these causes, anyone can try to do better and achieve better results with plastic surgery.

So how does one get a satisfying plastic surgery experience? To put it in just a few words, you should choose a board-certified and experienced plastic surgeon and follow his recommendations for pre- and post-operative care. Sounds rather easy, doesn’t it? In this article, we will discuss exactly this: how to get the most out of your plastic surgery and be satisfied with the experience.

Choosing the plastic surgeon

The first and most important thing that you can do for yourself to ensure you have a satisfying plastic surgery experience is to choose an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon. There is nothing more important than finding the plastic surgeon that is right for you. This means that you need to find a plastic surgeon whom you can trust with the aesthetic appearance of your body and also your well-being.

How can you find a plastic surgeon like this? Before anything else, you can do a little research online. You can look for plastic surgeons in your area or country that are board-certified and experienced in performing the procedure you are interested in. It is never wise to go have your butt implant surgery done by the plastic surgeon who made your cousin happy with a face lift. You should focus on finding a plastic surgeon who is well-versed in performing the procedure you want to have because only through practice do we acquire experience. Moreover, a plastic surgeon who performs a certain procedure routinely is more familiar with the risks and complications that can occur and how to minimize them.

If there is more than one plastic surgeon that look like they could be right for you, the next step would be to check their sites and look at before and after pictures with former patients whom he operated on. Look for pictures with patients who have similar characteristics as yours to be able to form an opinion about what can be expected in terms of results.

To get a satisfying plastic surgery experience, you need a plastic surgeon who has a keen eye for details and aesthetics, has surgical skills, and is a good communicator. The plastic surgeon will guide you through the process of improving or correcting your body with plastic surgery. For some procedures, there is little advice to be given, but for procedures more complex such as breast or butt augmentations, the recommendations of the plastic surgeon can determine the success of the procedure or the lack of it.

A good plastic surgeon will take the time to discuss with you the needs and expectations from the procedure and tell you what can be done and what are the limitations. Make sure to listen to the advice of the plastic surgeon and take the recommendations into consideration before scheduling your operation.

Following the pre-operative instructions

Each plastic surgery procedure entails a period of preparation before the surgery. During the pre-operative stage, the patient needs to adopt a certain behavior and respect a set of instructions received from the plastic surgeon. The pre-operative period is important for the success of the procedure and also to avoid unwanted complications that could occur. And it is exactly because this pre-operative period is so important that patients can’t schedule their plastic surgery procedures the next day or week after having the initial consultation with the plastic surgeon.

To get a satisfying plastic surgery experience, you need to be prepared to undergo the procedure and know what to expect. This way we eliminate most of the pre-operative anxiety and post-operative stress. You won’t have to guess what you will experience as you should already know all the details even before scheduling the procedure.

The preparation period for most plastic surgery procedures starts a month before the date of the surgery. This is the time when the patient should stop taking birth control pills and other medication, depending on the recommendation of the plastic surgeon. During this month, a balanced eating and exercising regimen is advised as the patient should be in his best possible form when the procedure is performed. Keep in mind that plastic surgery should only be performed on healthy patients who also have a good emotional and mental condition. This means that even something as trivial as a simple cold could determine the need to reschedule your procedure. So make sure to avoid catching an infection or a cold during the month before the procedure is scheduled.

Two weeks before the procedure, it is recommended to stop taking natural supplements and also anti-inflammatory medication as they could trigger complications such as excessive bleeding during or after surgery. Aside from the physical preparations for the surgery, the patient is also advised to prepare mentally for the change in the body that will occur after the procedure.

Follow the post-operative recommendations

There are many patients who don’t get a satisfying plastic surgery experience because they don’t consider it necessary to follow the post-operative instructions of the plastic surgeon. To mention just one important aspect – the compression garments or girdle after plastic surgery. A responsible and experienced plastic surgeon will insist on the patient wearing the compression clothing for at least a few weeks to a few months after the procedure. Not following this recommendation can cause delayed wound healing, prolonged swelling of the operated area, and even asymmetries in certain cases. For example, the results of liposuction for patients who wore the girdle are far superior to patients who didn’t wear the compression garments. This is the case when the experience is not great because of the patient’s attitude towards the recovery period.

There are many other post-operative instructions that should be followed after the procedure. In some cases, often involving implants or fat transfer to certain areas of the body, the recommendation is not to sit or lie on that area for at least two or three weeks post-op. Once again this can be difficult for some people. Just think that after the Brazilian butt lift you are not supposed to sit directly on your butt for three weeks. This can be a real struggle, but it is important if you want to get a satisfying plastic surgery experience. Otherwise, you might just kill the fat cells that were transferred to the butt before they get a chance to develop a new blood network that will ensure their survival.

Getting satisfactory results after plastic surgery and making the plastic surgery experience pleasurable for the patient is not entirely the plastic surgeon’s responsibility. The patient needs to do his part, which is very important. Moreover, it is only up to the patient to sustain the results of plastic surgery for longer.

A good plastic surgery experience and sustaining the results

Some patients might have a good plastic surgery experience but fail to maintain the results of the procedure for a long time, and hence they consider this is somehow the plastic surgeon’s fault. This is rarely the case. What happens a year or two after the procedure is rarely the plastic surgeon’s responsibility. Plastic surgery can deliver impressive results and improve the appearance of the patient’s body considerably; however, in a vast majority of cases, it takes some effort to sustain the results. In many cases, weight fluctuations are to be avoided after the procedure, and the same goes for pregnancies. Generally speaking, any factors that might cause a deformation of the area treated with surgery is to be avoided at all costs after the procedure.

Conclusion

Many patients wonder what they can do and how to get a satisfying plastic surgery experience. A satisfying plastic surgery experience means good results and avoiding complications that can be avoided. To achieve this goal, you need to start by choosing an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon who is well-versed in performing the procedure you are interested in. The next step is following his instructions for pre- and post-operative care.

While many patients tend to believe that the success of the procedure or getting satisfactory results is all in the hands of the plastic surgeon, this is almost never the case. The patient’s attitude and efforts are required to get a satisfying plastic surgery experience.

Plastic surgery for senior patients

Plastic surgery for senior patients

Today, plastic surgery is no longer exclusive to just the rich, young and famous. Nowadays people from all walks of life and of different ages choose plastic surgery to improve or correct their appearance. While the majority of patients resorting to plastic surgery are in the 25-45 age category, there are also senior patients interested in plastic surgery.

The request for plastic surgery coming from more mature patients has different reasons. Among them are a desire to correct a physical imperfection that has bothered them for many years, the desire to erase at least some of the signs of aging, and the desire to improve certain features.

It is true that most breast augmentation procedures are performed on young patients. However, at the same time, many women who are over 45 can choose to undergo breast procedures and even get breast implants. There are women who have struggled with the emotional complex of having small breasts all their lives and have now found an opportunity or the courage to undergo the procedure later on in their lives. This often happens after a breakup or divorce or after the death of a life partner.

The desire to look beautiful, fit and attractive doesn’t disappear in time. This is the reason why many men and women choose to undergo plastic surgery even in their 60s to get a more youthful appearance and erase some signs of aging. These patients often request procedures such as body lifts, tummy tucks, all associated with liposuction in a vast majority of cases. Fat transfer is also commonly performed on senior patients who want to compensate for the tissue atrophy that can occur with aging.

The benefits of undergoing plastic surgery are numerous for senior patients, such as increased self-esteem and having a new lease on life. It is not unheard of for patients over 50 and even 60 to completely change their lifestyle after undergoing plastic surgery and achieving a body they can be proud of.

However, it is important to know some details about undergoing plastic surgery later on in life. The main advantage is that the results achieved with the procedure will be permanent in most cases and additional procedures won’t be required if the initial surgery is successful and no complications occur. But it is also important to know that the risk of developing a complication after surgery is more increased for senior patients. Also, the skin condition tends to be poorer for these patients, and this makes them not the ideal candidates for procedures such as liposuction. Most often, liposuction is not recommended as a stand-alone procedure for senior patients but performed together with a lifting procedure that will eliminate the excess of skin that can result after the removal of excess fat. Make sure to discuss your health condition in detail with the plastic surgeon before scheduling your procedure.

Liposuction for patients with a normal weight

Liposuction for patients with a normal weight

Introduction

Liposuction is a surgical method that allows the removal of adipose pockets localized in areas that are difficult to address with other means such as physical exercise and diets. These areas are the inferior part of the tummy, flanks, hips, thighs and the internal part of the knees. While the procedure aims to reduce the fat layer in certain areas, it is not a weight loss method or a treatment for obesity. The reality is that the weight loss that occurs as a result of liposuction is not considerable. What liposuction can do is harmoniously recontour the profile of the body. In certain cases after liposuction, the desire of the patient to get closer to the ideal weight can be stimulated; however, the general recommendation is to perform the procedure only on patients of a normal weight.

In this article, we will discuss liposuction for patients with a normal weight and its benefits.

Overview

As we have already mentioned, liposuction is for patients with a weight close to normal for their age and height, with a good health condition, and only with localized adipose pockets. People with a generalized layer of fat are not suitable candidates for the procedure. The recommendation for these patients is first to try to reduce the layer of fat with exercise and diet. Moreover, in assessing the patient’s candidacy for liposuction and the chances of achieving satisfactory results, the plastic surgeon will also take into consideration the skin tonus.

Liposuction should be performed only on patients will good skin quality and elasticity. This means that the plastic surgeon needs to assess the quality of the skin and whether it can retract on the new contours of the body after the procedure. In a vast majority of cases, the procedure is performed as a standalone only on patients of a younger age. With the natural aging process, the skin starts to lose elasticity, and this means that performing liposuction alone on senior patients or patients with saggy skin can accentuate the sagginess even more.

For patients with a normal weight interested in undergoing liposuction, it is important to know that the risks are small. But again, there is no surgical procedure that entails no risks. Generally speaking, the potential complications occur in extraordinary circumstances, especially if the selection of the patients was done carefully. The risks are considerably increased when the goal of the procedure is to remove a large quantity of fat. Infections can occur and also seromas and hematomas, the most severe complication associated with liposuction being fat emboli or thromboembolism. This happens when a fat conglomerate or a blood clot starts migrating through the circulatory system to the lungs. The complication is life-threatening.

Pre-operative instructions for liposuction:

Before liposuction is scheduled, the patient will have a pre-operative consultation with the plastic surgeon and another meeting with the anesthetist. During these meetings, the patient will find out how to prepare for the procedure. Here are some of the pre-operative instructions for liposuction:

– Two weeks before the procedure, the patient should avoid taking aspirin or other medications that could influence blood coagulation;

– Birth control needs to be stopped a month before the procedure;

– The procedure should be scheduled outside the menstrual cycle of the patient;

– Smoking should be avoided for at least three weeks (preferably six) before the procedure;

– Avoid drastic diets or strenuous physical exercises in the week before the procedure as they might delay healing;

– If general anesthesia is administered, the recommendation is not to eat or drink anything for at least eight hours before the procedure.

Liposuction can be performed with the patient under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The indication for one type of anesthetic or the other depends on the characteristics of the patient and also the localization and extension of the adipose pockets.

The length of the procedure can be between one and three hours, depending on the areas to be treated and if the procedure is combined with other procedures. For example, abdominal liposuction can usually be performed in an hour. But often the fat harvested with liposuction can be used to add more volume to areas that could use a boost. Liposuction is commonly combined with fat transfer.

When liposuction is performed, the plastic surgeon will mark the areas to be targeted and then address them individually. Small incisions are made to allow the introduction of a cannula that is connected to a suctioning medical device. The plastic surgeon performs back and forth movements to dislodge the fat in the area, and the cannula suctions the fat out.

Areas that are often targeted with liposuction are the abdominal area, flanks, thighs, knees, and even the arms and chin. Modern techniques imply the use of a special solution that contains a local anesthetic and a blood vessel constrictive substance to reduce the risk of excessive bleeding during surgery and to provide a long-lasting analgesia post-op. After the procedure, the areas treated with liposuction are covered in dressings, and compressive garments or girdle are put on to prevent the formation of hematoma and seroma and accelerate the healing process. It is important to know that the scars resulting after liposuction are almost unnoticeable and don’t usually pose any aesthetic issues.

Hospitalization after liposuction is often no longer than a few hours after the patient wakes up. After being discharged from the medical facility, the patient should return home for the recovery process. Depending from patient to patient and on the complexity of the procedure, the recovery period can be a few days and up to two weeks. During the recovery period, the patient is advised to get enough rest, keep a proper hygiene of the area operated, and avoid intense physical exercise. Strenuous physical activities should be avoided for at least a month after the procedure or per doctor’s orders to avoid ulterior complications.

Liposuction for patients with a normal weight

Many people see liposuction as a fast and effective way to shed off the unwanted weight. However, liposuction does little in terms of weight loss but can deliver magic in terms of reshaping the body. You might wonder why you should undergo liposuction if you have a normal weight and no excess fat layer on your body. Most people, even people who work out regularly and have a balanced and healthy diet, are confronted with localized adipose pockets at some point in their lives. These adipose pockets can occur after pregnancy and childbirth or with the natural aging process. As times goes by, many people notice that they start to develop fat pockets around the midline and even on the face, especially the chin.

If you have a normal weight, chances are a weight loss method like a diet or more exercise is not the way to go if you want to get rid of localized fat deposits. In other words, if you start dieting and lose weight, you will lose it from all over the body and not only the midline or whatever area was affected by stubborn adipose pockets. Moreover, you might even notice that your breasts and buttocks will suffer first as a result of a drastic diet and the midline will still present fat pockets. These localized fat deposits are efficiently corrected with the help of liposuction.

Conclusion

Liposuction is used to eliminate fat deposits in certain areas of the body that are difficult or impossible to target with exercise and diet. Liposuction is an effective and safe method to remodel the body. Moreover, it is one of the most commonly performed procedures in the United States and all over the world. The procedure targets patients with a normal weight and a good skin condition. If these conditions are followed, the results achieved are satisfactory and the potential complications that can occur are minimal and insignificant.

The final results of liposuction can be evaluated within three months from the date of the procedure, and there is a firm recommendation for the patient to wear the girdle or compressive garment to accelerate the recovery process.
