Fat Injection Cosmetic Surgery.

Hey guys, I'm new here with this report on health. Fat injection or graft has wide applications in cosmetic surgery. The fat is injected into the areas for improvement in the volume produces safe, durable and natural appearing results as the volume is replaced in the tissues where fat is decreased. Fat grafts usually involves collecting fat from one part of the body, washing and purification, and the care re-injected with needles designed especially in areas that require increased. The procedure can be repeated several times to achieve the desired result.

The swelling that normally occurs after injection of fat, usually goes away within 2 to 3 weeks. The degree of swelling depends on the injection site.

Am I a candidate for fat injection procedure?

Patients who benefit from fat grafting are the desire to increase or to pad the volume-deficient areas. The areas most commonly include grafted hands, face (including lips), and depressions in the contour of the skin such as those developed after liposuction and healing.

In general, patients are considered for the injection of fat are in good health. If you have a history of bleeding or abnormal swelling of a procedure should inform your surgeon. A smoking history should be shared with your surgeon. The anatomy of each patient and vary the proportions, and the decision to use fat injection techniques depends on the objectives of the patient and surgeon.

Fat injection techniques procedure.

All patients who desire the fat injection procedure requires a thorough evaluation before the procedure. This may take several visits to the surgeon before the operation. A complete history and physical examination will be held before the procedure. The surgeon may take photographs before the procedure, informed consent was obtained, and your skin may be marked. Local anesthesia ('Twilight') or general can be used, depending on the preference of your surgeon.

The fat is extracted by a special suction tube using sterile technique. Once you get enough fat from the donor site, which is then purified. This often requires the use of a centrifuge which rotates the fat and impurities removed. The fat is placed in areas that require increased. The injection needle is usually passed in and out of areas to be increased several times. This creates a "network" fat graft. The areas that were injected can be massaged by the surgeon to create a desired shape. Dressing then can be placed.

To close this report I can say it is important to see your doctor before surgery fat injection.

Lower Body Lift Surgery Part. 3

Recovery Process in the lower body lift surgery.

Surgical drains are inserted to remove fluid that collects inside the incisions. The amount of fluid is measured to the patient on a daily basis. Once the fluid production is low enough for the elimination of fluid in an outpatient setting. Drains generally tend to remain in place two or three weeks, but can be left longer.

It may be necessary to remove the sutures in the closure of the incision. This occurs about two weeks after surgery, and this is also done in a clinic as an outpatient treatment. To control the swelling may be placed in the patient compression garments or clothing also can also be used to support suspended tissue, flattening the skin and leave it smooth. The placement may occur at the time of surgery, or later, at the surgeon's.

The activity is determined by the progress of the healing of the incision. Patients should be encouraged to walk a day after the surgery. Once the drains are removed, the movement is much easier.

As a patient you would be admitted to the hospital after surgery. You can stay a couple of days to learn the care of your drains and feel comfortable to move and walk. Once you are a little more comfortable would be discharged with oral pain medications. In general, the resumption of normal activities can produce four to six weeks after surgery.

Lower Body Lift Surgery Risks / Complications / Patient Safety.

• The Seromas (ie, fluid accumulation under the skin) may require the use of drains.

• There may be a delayed healing of small gaps in the closure of the incisions in areas of high stress and strain.

• Numbness in the areas adjacent to the incision.

• Slight asymmetries can occur despite efforts to balance the skin and remove fat.

• The bleeding can lead to bruising, but usually do not require transfusions.

Blood clots to the lungs (pulmonary embolism) are not very common. Sequential compression devices (SCD) in the calves during surgery has significantly reduced the effect on body contouring procedures.

The duration of the operation may be six hours or more for the body lift. Care is taken to carefully prepare the patient for surgery. Medical conditions are treated before the operation to ensure patient safety for the duration of such.

Technical standard procedures of the lower body lift surgery.

Techniques the lower body lift surgery tightens the buttocks to the back of the thighs and hips outer thighs. The loose skin below the incision is removed. The rest of the skin on the buttocks and thighs is pulled upward, and the skin is repaired, suspending the tissue and tightened. This requires placing the patient face down or sideways during the procedure. The closure of the incision is made in several layers to control the stretching and inflammation.

When the back and sides of the patient were completed, the patient is treated placed her back in front. There are two options available. These options should be discussed before the operation and are chosen based on their choice. One option is to combine the lower body lift to the abdominal contour, also known as tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). The other option is the combination of lower body lift with an inner thigh lift, if the abdomen requires no boundary, or if the patient has had previous abdominoplasty.

These techniques use the removal of the skin, to tighten the loose, sagging tissue. You can add the removal of the layer of fat under the skin to reduce the filling into the bottom of the body.

Candidates for body lift surgery have excess skin that must be removed by the procedure. This operation is different from liposuction, liposuction because it only removes the fat through small incisions, but does not remove the skin. However, you can perform a combination of liposuction techniques soft body lift and contour of the separate areas of the effects of the division of body lift. Again, a thorough discussion and review are essential to the determination of a complete surgical plan.

Other considerations of Lower Body Lift Surgery.

Because the narrowing of the trade reaches the bottom of the body through the removal of loose connective tissue (skin and fat), lifting the lower body should be performed when the patient is as close to their desired body weight or ideal as possible. If, for example, the patient is adjusting your lower body and then loses weight, the skin loosens and tightens be dropped. By contrast, the postoperative weight gain or stretch the skin has hardened or undo the improvements in body lift.

To be the bottom of the body is lifted and suspended by closing the skin, excess weight in the thighs and buttocks at the time of surgery can prevent long-term effect. In such cases, weight loss may be recommended before procedures lifting bodies. If this is not feasible, liposuction may be an option for slimming the thighs and buttocks before attempting to lift the body of division. These operations usually require 5.8 hours of operation when done in a single session. The process takes time away from work. Monitoring is recommended after surgery.

Possible complications and risks of surgery is best discussed on a personal basis between you and your plastic surgeon or a staff member in your surgeon. Risks in most surgeries are almost always the same. Some of the potential complications that may be discussed include hematoma (an accumulation of blood under the skin that may require removal), infection, scarring, changes in sensation, allergic reactions, damage to underlying structures, need for revisions, results unsatisfactory medical procedures and risks.

How to perform liposuction surgery?

The basic technique of liposuction involves the removal of fat through a metal tube (cannula) is passed through the fatty tissue. One of the most common type of liposuction is the aspiration of fat by means of a vacuum pump. This is known as suction-assisted liposuction (SAL). In addition, an engine can be used in the tube that causes it to move from side to side and making the most of the work of liposuction, this procedure is known as power assisted liposuction (PAL). An ultrasound generator can produce sound waves above the audible frequency "breaks" the fat cells and is excreted in the SAL. The laser can also be used to break down fat cells. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. These methods will be discussed with you at the time of the query. Furthermore, the above techniques can be combined to produce optimal results. A decision regarding the proper technique is carried out preferably by the plastic surgeon.
