Abdominoplasty
More commonly because "tummy tuck," can dramatically slow up the appearance of an protruding or flabby abdomen. This is a major medical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from your middle and minimize abdomen and tightens the muscles with the abdominal wall.
Technique
Most patients are appropriate for any radical abdominoplasty. This involves excising the excess skin and fat in the lower abdomen. The upper abdominal skin might be shifted down. The belly button should be repositioned. The final result incorporates a scar from hip to hip another scar throughout the belly button.
Some patients tend to be suited to the mini-abdominoplasty where some skin and fat from the lower abdomen are excised and the navel doesn't need repositioning. With both techniques, Dr. Nicklin often uses liposuction to shape the hips and flanks to achieve a more balanced result.
Recovery
The surgical procedures are performed under general anesthetic with a 2-3 night stay in hospital then 2-4 weeks recovery time off work. Drains are widely-used post-operatively that might live in for up to 10 days.
Liposuction
Liposuction will be the eliminating unwanted lumps, bulges, and parts of fat using thin suction tubes (cannulae) which are placed into one's body fat through small incisions. Liposuction can be used to treat most areas in the body and may be combined with other body contouring procedures. The best candidates for liposuction are normal-weight those with firm, elastic skin who've pockets of body fat in specific areas.
Technique
I utilize tumescent technique for liposuction which significantly reduces hemorrhage from the procedure. After injecting anesthetic fluid into the treatment areas metallic cannula that come with a powerful vacuum is inserted. This sucks out fatty deposits from your body.
However, it needs to be remembered that liposuction could be a major surgical treatment often taking much time to execute, is just not a powerful weight-loss technique and does not reduce stretch marks or improve the appearance of cellulite.
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is often a surgical procedure to lessen the size or change the shape of the small lips on the outside in the vagina. Surgery is mostly performed to eliminate discomfort and irritation and to correct stretching and deformity after childbirth.
Technique
The procedure involves making small incisions to remove the extra tissue to relieve or reshape the labia minora. The incisions are extremely inconspicuous and can leave little noticeable scarring.
Recovery
The procedure can be done like a day case but some of the patient would rather stay overnight. It is usually 2 weeks before you can go back to physical activity and about six weeks before you decide to feel fully recovered. After the procedure, sensation and function usually are normal and well maintained, and never infrequently, enhanced.
Hyperhidrosis
Local hyperhidrosis may be the term for sweating have a tendency to is situated the hands, trunk, feet, and armpits (axillae). The main troubles are linked to social interactions, for example, embarrassment when shaking hands, hugging, dancing and sweating by having a business shirt. Patients also complain of the inconvenience of changing clothes many times each day.
Technique
In recent times, Botulinum Toxin injections happen to be accustomed to significantly decrease sweating with minimal unwanted effects, blocking the action from the nerves that offer the sweat glands and stopping them from producing sweat.
Using a really fine needle, a smaller volume of BTC is injected into the skin in the affected site in about 15 areas spaced approximately 1 cm apart. Sometimes an iodine and starch test is used to locate the spot where sweating is greatest.
How long do the results last?
It takes 3 to 7 days following hyperhidrosis answer to noticeable improvement. A slow resume sweating approximately 7-8 months following treatment as usual but it just isn't uncommon to acquire 11-12 months of relief. The hyperhidrosis treatment will then be repeated.
