VASER Liposuction

Latest, third generation ULTRASONIC liposuction technique that is designed to virtually eliminate bleeding during surgery and to reduce inflammation and bruising. VASER Ultrasound technology literally liquefies the fat, which allows for greater precision and vastly superior results.

Ideal candidate for Vaser Liposuction

All candidates for liposuction should have realistic expectations of the results that can be achieved through the procedure and should be in good physical and mental health. The best candidate is someone who is in excellent health, is within 25 pounds of his or her ideal body weight, and has deposits of fat that have not responded to diet or exercise.

At the consultation

You should express your desires and expectations from the surgical procedures. The surgeon will evaluate your medical health and explain the surgical techniques available to you. Your question will be answered as thoroughly as possible.  Examinations of your trouble are will be performed. The surgeon will go over the risks and potential complications of the procedure, as well as, the pre-operative and post –operative process.

Risk Factors

All surgeries carry some risks. Listed below are the risks or potential complications:

The risks of VASER liposuction are very similar to the liposuction risks associated with any other method. However, because LipoSelection minimizes damage to other body tissues, patients typically experience less pain and fewer side effects than with other forms of liposuction. Serious liposuction complications are quite rare. Fat clots or blood clots may form, and there is a chance these will migrate to the lungs and cause serious illness. The fluid loss that results from liposuction will be anticipated by a qualified doctor, as it can cause low blood pressure, friction burns, or fluid buildup. The LipoSelection probe’s ultrasound energy may injure the skin or deeper tissues; although in most cases the benefits of the ultrasound system make it safer than traditional liposuction. If a doctor inexperienced with the LipoSelection procedure applies too much fluid, the wetting solution may collect in the lungs. If there is too much lidocaine in the liposuction solution, lidocaine toxicity may develop.

Before the surgery

At this time, you will be given an opportunity to ask any further questions. Continuation of healthy diet and exercise is very important before the surgery. Smoking must be stopped at least two weeks before the surgery

On  the day of the operation

No eating or drinking for 8 hours before the surgery.  You should wear loose fitting clothing and sneakers. Do not wear sandals or slippers. You will meet with our nurse to prepare you for surgery. The surgeon will discuss the procedure with you again and do pre-operative planning. You will meet with our anesthesia provider to discuss anesthesia. You will be given a choice of day surgery or general anesthesia which required at least one day hospital stay depend on your choice but normally if it is an extensive surgery,   we required 4 days and 3 night’s hospital stay.

Anesthesia used

This procedure can be performed using local or general anesthesia.

 During the surgery

First, the area to be sculpted is filled with a special saline solution that helps numb the site and shrink the blood vessels (to minimize blood loss and reduce bruising). This solution wets and fills the area to be treated, making fat easier to break up with the VASER System’s sound energy. Then a small probe transmits sound energy (similar to that used for cataract removal in the eye) that breaks up fat on contact, while leaving other important tissues relatively intact. Finally, gentle suction of the sculpted site removes the emulsified fat quickly. Thanks to its patented technology, only the LipoSelection procedure first emulsifies and then removes fat in this manner.

Post Operative Expectation

The treated area will be wrap with compression garments snugly and continuously for 6 days-2wks. Usually drains are placed removing excess fluid over a period of 2-3 days.

 Back to normal work

Regular exercise work out may start after 2 weeks, start with light exercise then gradually move your way up to your regular routine as tolerated by your body.

Pre-Operative instruction

1. Consultation with surgeon
2. Evaluation for other medical conditions
3. ECG and Blood test will be taken
4. No intake of food or water 6 hrs prior to surgery
5. Compression garments should be available to be used post-op
6. Stop smoking and alcohol intake at least 2 weeks before surgery
7. Anticoagulants, vitamins, hormones (including birth control pills), anti-depressants and some other medications also to be stopped at least 2 weeks before surgery. 

Post-Operative instruction

1. Wrap treated area with compression garments snugly and continuously for 6 days-2 weeks.
2. A day after the surgery, patient may have light to moderate physical activities
3. Some incisions will be left open and drainage is expected, absorbent pads should be used and changed frequently as needed.  
4. Incisions will close by themselves within 2-3 days.  Use band aid to protect incision sites.
5. Keep incision clean
6. May have quick bath after 2 days post op. Regular shower when incisions are closed.
7. May use regular girdle 2 weeks after compression garments.
8. Do not apply ice packs or a heating pad to skin overlying the areas treated by liposuction
9. Do not soak in a bath, Jacuzzi, pool or beach at last 7 days post-op
10. Bruising may diminish after 2-3 weeks
11. Return for check-up after 4 days removal of stitches.
12. Swelling is expected, Maximal in the first 2 weeks, then gradually subsides.  Final result in 3-4 months.
13. Skin may feel numb on the surface but insides are tender to touch.
14. Some areas may become hard and lumpy; this is normal and will go away when fully recovered

Male Cosmetic Surgery In Thailand: Liposuction

Male Cosmetic Surgery In Thailand: Liposuction: "Overview of the surgery: Liposuction , also known as lipoplasty , liposculpture suction lipectomy or simply lipo ('suction-assisted f..."

Liposuction

Overview of the surgery:

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, liposculpture suction lipectomy or simply lipo ("suction-assisted fat removal") is the most common cosmetic surgery operation that removes pockets of fats from many different sites on the human body. It can remove stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to traditional weight loss method but remember it is not a substitute for dieting and exercise. It also involves the use of a stainless steel suction tube called a cannula. The cannula is pushed and pulled through the fat layer, breaking up the fat cells and suction them out by a powerful suction pump, thus improving body contour and enhancing self image. Areas of the body where liposuction is performed are: abdomen, hips, outer and inner thighs, flanks, love handles, back, knees, arms, submental (chin), Gynecomastia.

The ideal candidates for liposuction are those who are physically fit, who exercise regularly and are not more than 20 pounds overweight. They may have bulging and flabby areas of the body from fat deposits, especially the abdomen, arms, thighs, and neck. Individuals with certain medical conditions may not be suitable candidates for liposuction.

In all types of liposuction methods, there are certain things that should be considered when having the surgery. It maybe performed as an outpatient procedure or the procedure that will be done in a hospital and may require an overnight stay.

The procedure is performed using a suction devise attached to a small, stainless steel tube called cannula. Through a small incision, the small bore cannulas is inserted into fat layer between skin and muscle by alternately pushing and pulling it through the fat layer then suction it out by the use of a vacuum pump or a large syringe. The duration of the surgery will vary according to the amount of fat to be removed.

Duration of the operation:

The duration of liposuction Thailand depends on the number of areas, the size of the area and the amount of fat to be removed.

Post operation care:

1. A compression garment must be worn for two to four weeks.
2. If patient had liposuction by local anesthesia, he/she may resume usual diet immediately.
3. Drink adequate amount of water at least 8- 10 glasses a day or fruit juices to prevent dehydration.
4. Bed rest is recommended for the first few hours after surgery.
5. If non-absorbable sutures are placed, the surgeon will remove sutures after 5 to 10 days.
6. Pain killers will be prescribed to control pain that may last as long as 2 weeks depending on the extent of procedure.
7. Keep incision clean. Take a shower once or twice daily. Wound dressings need to be changed often. After one to three days, small self-adhesive bandages are sufficient.
8. Do not apply ice-packs or a heating pad to skin overlying the areas treated by liposuction.     
9. Do not apply hydrogen peroxide or plastic Band-Aids to incision sites. Liposuction incision sites heal faster and better without topical antibiotics.
10. Do not soak in a bath, Jacuzzi, swimming pool, or the ocean for at least 7 days after surgery in order to minimize the risk of infection.
11. Patient taking Aspirin and Ibuprofen for at least 3 days after surgery. NSAIDs promote increase the risk of bleeding by impairing platelet function and depress immune response to infection.
12. Drainage is placed for about 3-7 days depending upon the extent of surgery.
13. Patient must maintain a proper diet and exercise regimen because the remaining fat cells could still enlarge and form cellulite thus creating irregularities.

Recovery period:

Depending on the extent of liposuction, patients are generally able to return to work between 2 days-2 weeks. Bruising will fade after 1-2 weeks. Swelling will occur and increase 5-10 days after surgery and should subside gradually over 2 weeks- 2 months while numbness persists for several weeks.

Possible risk and complications:

With any type of liposuction procedure, complications may arise beyond the minor side effects but they are rare. Some possible complications include infection, allergic reaction to medication or material used during surgery, excessive fluid loss, thromboembolism, injury to the abdominal organs, and excessive loss of body heat (hypothermia), excessive intravenous fluids, aspiration pneumonia and cardiac arrest.

It is the surgeon’s responsibility to give the written list of signs and symptoms to watch for, along with instructions for post-op self-care.

Anesthesia use:

The procedure uses local or general anesthesia

Hospital admission:

This procedure may be performed in the cosmetic surgeon’s office-based facility, an outpatient surgery center, or at a hospital. This procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis

Preparation before the surgery:

1. Patient and the surgeon will agree ahead of time on exactly which area(s) will be treated and both will discuss what outcome to expect. Assessment of the medical history, physical examination and laboratory tests will be performed during the consultation as well as the explanation of the course of surgery, recovery period, risk and complications.

2. Eat a well balance diet several weeks prior to surgery. Over eating and crash dieting can greatly affect overall health status and well being of the patient.

3. Daily exercises are an important factor to help enhance posture and strength at least 3-4 weeks prior to surgery.

4. Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process. Patient must be free of nicotine patch or nicotine based products for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to surgery.

5.  Patient should avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery.

6. Maintain the best of health and hygiene in the weeks prior to surgery. Colds, virus, throat infection or other illness can result to rescheduling of surgery.

7. If general anesthesia or sedation will be used, and the surgery will be in the morning, fasting from midnight the night before is required. If only local anesthesia will be used, fasting is not required.

Side effects:

·        Bruising: Can be painful in the short term, and should fade after a few weeks.

·        Swelling: is due to an inflammatory reaction to surgical trauma. This will occur and increase 5 to 10 days after surgery and should subside gradually over a month or two.

·        Scars: will vary in size depending on the particular procedure, and should fade over the weeks. Scarring is an individual thing, partly dependent on heredity. For some, scar healing may take as long as a year.

·        Pain: should be temporary and controlled by either over-the-counter medication, or by a prescription.

·        Numbness: sometimes persists for a few weeks.

·        Limited mobility: will depend on the exact procedure.

·        Nausea and vomiting: are among the side effects that may be associated with liposuction. Nausea can be caused by antibiotics, lorazepam, or local anesthesia.

·        Slight temperature elevation during the first 48 hours after surgery is a natural consequence of the body's reaction to surgical trauma.

·        Itching: may occur as part of a normal healing process. To help relieve itching, patient may try taking Benadryl as directed by the doctor

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
• Blood and urine samples will be collected for routine preoperative laboratory test.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

Male Breast Reduction

Male breast reduction (also known as gynecomastia) is the surgical correction of over-developed or enlarged breasts in men.During an excision procedure, the incision is made either on the edge of the nipple (areola) or in the underarm area. The surgeon cuts the excess glandular tissues,skin and fats from around the pigmented area surrounding the areola and from the sides and bottom of the breast.
Liposuction is also used to remove excess fat, a hollow tube (cannula), is inserted directly through the existing incisions. The cannula is attached to a vacuum pump to suction out the fat.

Duration of the operation:
The procedure takes about 1-2 hours

Post operative care:
To help reduce swelling, you'll probably need to wear an elastic pressure garment continuously for 1-2 weeks, and for a few weeks longer at night. Although the worst of the swelling will subside in the first few weeks, it may be three months or more before the final results of your surgery are apparent.You'll be encouraged to begin walking around on the day of surgery, and to return to work when you feel well enough, which could be in a couple of days. Stitches are removed 1-2 weeks after the procedure.Your surgeon may advise you to avoid sexual activity for a week or two and heavy exercise for about three weeks. You will be told to stay away from any sport or job that risks a blow to the chest area for at least four weeks. Your activities should be back to normal after about a month.

Recovery period:
Depending on the extent of surgery, patients are generally able to work after 5-7 days.Bruising and swelling will gradually subside for several days and more strenous activities can be done after 2-3 weeks.

Possible risk and complications:
Infection, fluid accumulations, injury to the skin, rippling or bagginess of skin, and asymmetry. Pigment changes (possibly permanent if exposed to the sun). Excessive scarring if tissue was cut away, and need for a following procedure to remove addition tissue.

Anesthesia use:
The surgery requires general or local anesthesia with sedation

Hospital admission:
This procedure may be performed in the cosmetic surgeon’s office-based facility, an outpatient surgery center, or at a hospital. This procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis

Preparation before Surgery

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
  Blood and urine samples will be collected for routine preoperative laboratory tests.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

Buccal Fat Removal

Overview of the surgery:

Buccal Fat removal is a surgical procedure to remove the fat pads that augment the lower part of the cheeks. During the buccal fat removal, patients are usually under local anesthesia, meaning they will be awake but drowsy and insensitive to pain. The surgeon creates an incision about 2 to 3 cm long between the cheek and gums, starting above the second upper molar towards the back of the mouth. The incision exposes the fascia and fibers of the main cheek muscle (buccinator). By applying pressure externally under the cheek bone, the surgeon causes the buccal fat to protrude through the incision. The surgeon then teases the fat out with forceps or surgical tweezers. After a collective amount is removed, the surgeon then closes the incisions.

Duration of the operation:

This procedure is taking about one hour to perform.

Post operative care:

It is normal to feel pain and discomfort after undergoing surgery. With buccal fat removal, patients can expect swelling and difficulty chewing for a few days, up to a week. Most patients usually return to work in about a week following surgery. Be sure to follow your surgeon’s post-op instructions to ensure better healing and to reduce any possible complications.

Recovery period:

The recovery process is relatively quick and painless. For a few days the patient will look like they have had oral surgery with swollen cheeks, but no bruising. By one week, the patients generally look like they did pre-operatively and the final results become apparent after 4-6 weeks as residual swelling disappears.

Possible risk and complications:

All forms of cosmetic surgery carry some degree of risk. With buccal fat removal, infection and adverse reactions to the anesthetic are the biggest possible risks.

Numbness is normal after undergoing surgery, and usually subsides after a few weeks. Loss of sensation is usually found around the incision lines, on the central cheeks, or the jaw line. In rare cases, the numbness can be a long-term, possibly permanent condition.

Anesthesia use:

During the buccal fat removal, patients are usually under local anesthesia, meaning they will be awake but drowsy and insensitive to pain.

Hospital admission:

The buccal fat removal procedure may be performed in the cosmetic surgeon’s office-based facility, an outpatient surgery center, or at a hospital. This procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis.

Preparation before Surgery

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
• The surgeon will evaluate the current state of the patients’ cheeks, their age and their medical history. These visits also allow the specialists to inform the patient of the benefits, precautions, risks, methods used recovery period and other important information.
• Blood and urine samples will be collected for routine preoperative laboratory tests.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

Alar Resection or Alarplasty

Overview of the surgery:

Alar Resection is a cosmetic surgery procedure of the nose that narrows the wide flaring and large opening of the nasal nostrils.

The alar of the nose is reduced and suture in its position, aim is to make the balance of nasal tip and alar of the nose.

Duration of the operation:

The procedure usually takes around 1 hour.

Post-Operative Care

Splint the nasal tip with 3-4 mm thin strips of waterproof tape. Steri-Strips also can be used. Run the strips along each side of the nose and gently wrap them under and around the tip. As all sutures are absorbable, none require removal. Revision surgery should not be considered before at least 6 months have elapsed since the original operation.

Recovery period:

Normally, you will feel some pain and discomfort at the nose area during the first days after the operation but it can be alleviated by the medications prescribed. After 2 or 3 days, you will feel no pain but swelling in the nose and eyelid area will persist. Swelling and bruising around the eyes will start to disappear within a week and will completely subside for about 2 weeks. You can go back to work after 1 or 2 weeks, but avoid strenuous activities that can increase pressure to the face, which can prolong swelling and bruising for the next 2 to 3 weeks. After the removal of the bandage and stitches, the patient must take care of her/his nose not to be injured until it is completely healed. The frames of glasses should not be allowed to rest on the bridge of the nose for three weeks. A little bleeding is common during the first few days following surgery; patient may continue to feel some stuffiness for several weeks. Patient must try not to blow nose for a week or so, while the tissues heal.

Possible risks and complications:

Serious complications are rare. The most common complication is patient dissatisfaction. Other complications include: hematoma, airway obstruction, injury to the nose, infection, excessive swelling and bleeding.

Anesthesia:

Using IV sedation (medicine administered through an IV) and local anesthesia (numbing medication administered in the surgical area)

Hospital admission:

The patient can be discharge from the hospital on the same day of the surgery.

Preparation before Surgery:

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

Tip Plasty and Tip Graft

Overview of the surgery:

Tip Plasty and Tip Graft may be performed to reduce a large, square, or bulbous nasal tip, to treat an upturned or sagging nasal tip, or just to change the appearance of the nasal tip.

The surgery includes realignment of the alar cartilage by resection and suture, fibroareolar and subcutaneous tissue, tip graft and columellar strut. The nasal tip is positioned high and elegant, methods such as cartilage suture, cartilage grafting and blocking the nasal septum.

Duration of the procedure:

The procedure usually takes around 1 hour depending on the surgical treatment and the extent of reshaping required.

Post operative care:

You will feel some pain and discomfort at the nose area during the first days after surgery but can be alleviated by medications prescribed. Expect some bruising and swelling during first few days and will usually subside in about 1 week.

Recovery period:

The typical recovery would be around 3 weeks. Sutures are removed within 10 days after the procedure.

Possible risks and complications:

These are complication free. However, all grafts have potential for asymmetry and migration. Although this may seem like a simple operation because it involves such a small area, a tip plasty may be one of the most challenging aspects of nose surgery. Disruption of the cartilage that supports the tip of the nose can cause the tip to collapse, rotate or lose projection; therefore tip plasty should be performed by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon.

Anesthesia use:

This procedure is generally under local or general anesthesia.

Hospital admission:

The patient can be discharge from the hospital on the same day of the surgery.

Preparation before surgery:

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

Reduction Rhinoplasty (Nose Reduction)

Overview of the surgery:

Reduction Rhinoplasty is for patients who have prominent large noses with oversized bridges and depressed nasal tips. It aims to create a well balanced nose by reducing the dorsal hump, narrowing the bridge, improving the nasal tip projection and definition.

The incisions are placed on the rim of the alar of nose. Soft tissues of the nose are then separated from the underlying structures, the bone and cartilage are then reshaped and the skin re-draped over the surface. Patients who have a deviated septum may benefit by correction of this problem at the time of surgery.

Duration of the operation:

The procedure usually takes about 1-2 hours.

Post operative care:

The nose will be covered with either plaster or a light metal or plastic splint to maintain the position of the nasal bones.  You will feel some pain and discomfort at the nose area during the first days after surgery but can be alleviated by medications prescribed.

Recovery period:

You can go back to work or return to school within 2 days following surgery and will take about 1-2 weeks until it will be completely healed.

Possible risks and complications:

When Nose Reduction is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, complications are infrequent and usually minor. Nevertheless, there is always a possibility of complications, including infection, nosebleed, or a reaction to the anesthesia. You can reduce your risks by closely following your surgeon's instructions both before and after surgery. After surgery, small burst blood vessels may appear as tiny red spots on the skin's surface; these are usually minor but may be permanent. As for scarring, when Nose Reduction is performed from inside the nose, there is no visible scarring at all; when an "open" technique is used, or when the procedure calls for the narrowing of flared nostrils, the small scars on the base of the nose are usually not visible

Anesthesia:

Local anesthesia with mild sedation

Hospital admission:

It depends on your preferences as well as your surgeon’s. Reduction Rhinoplasty can be performed on an out patient basis, in the hospital, or in an ambulatory surgical suite.

Preparation before Surgery

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.
