Obesity, cause, treatment and complication

You are very lucky if you have waited until now to consider having liposuction, or liposculpture body contouring. The new laser liposuction techniques are a vast improvement over traditional methods. The new laser technology melts fat and tightens skin resulting in a much gentler liposculpture procedure and minimal loose hanging skin after liposuction.

Whether you have a double chin, tummy fat after childbirth, saddle bags, spare tire, or just little problem areas around the hips or thighs, the new laser assisted liposculpture and laser body contouring techniques may be what you are looking for.

Not all of the machines in use are the same. Some laser wavelengths, such as the 924nm and 924/975nm work much better than others. You need to understand which technology is best if you are considering laser liposuction.

Liposuction is the most commonly performed plastic surgery operation.
-Traditional liposuction is done by inserting a metal tube called a cannula beneath the skin into fat containing areas of the body. High pressure suction is applied and fat is suctioned out from under the skin. While the procedure works well, it is traumatic as the suction pulls out not only fat but also some of the connective tissue which holds the skin tight to the body. There are several problems which can occur after liposuction:

-During laser assisted liposuction, a very small laser fiber is inserted beneath the skin. Heat from the laser melts the fat into a thin liquid. The liquid fat is then more easily removed with very small cannulas usually only2-3 millimeters in diameter. The heat form the laser also tightens the skin, and closes many blood vessels, thus less bleeding.

There are several different machines available using several different laser wavelengths-the 924nm, combined 924/975nm, the 1064nm, and the 1308nm are the most popular.

I prefer the 924nm and combination 924/975nm laser because the 924nm is very selectively absorbed by fat tissue. The 924nm liquefies 3 times as much fat as some of the other wavelengths and is also more strongly absorbed by blood vessels, which helps reduce bleeding and bruising.
The 924nm and combined 924/975nm laser is used by the SlimLipo™ laser liposuction machine made by Palomar Medical™.

If you are healthy, do not smoke, and have extra fat beneath your chin, around your tummy, on your hips, thighs, arms or knees, and are relatively fit and not obese, then you are likely an excellent candidate for laser liposuction. The younger you are the better your skin tightening will be after laser liposuction. I have, however, seen good skin tightening after laser liposuction in a 70 year old person-see photo below:

If you are obese and significantly over weight, you should lose weight first before liposuction.

Humans, like any other mammals, have hair that grows all over their bodies.  For some people the hair is less obvious or grows more sparsely, but many men and women alike struggle with excessive hair growth which can be unattractive or a downright nuisance.  Some individuals struggle with unwanted hair growth from the time they are adolescents, and the daily routine of shaving or weekly waxing can feel like more trouble than it is worth.

Professional hair removal services available through cosmetic surgeons are less time-consuming, and allow you to go for longer periods of time between treatments.  But even professional waxing can have its pitfalls.  Another, more technologically advanced option is laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal has become popular in recent years particularly for individuals who have had negative reactions to waxing or who are looking for a more permanent solution to their hairy areas.

Waxing vs. Lasers: Invasiveness

]]>

Both waxing and laser hair removal have been describe as non-invasive procedures.  This means that nothing is inserted under the skin to remove the hairs.  It does not mean that there may not be slight discomfort involved in either procedure.  Some patients feel that waxing is more painful because the hair is torn out of the skin across a larger area.  Laser hair removal covers about an inch of skin at a time, and doesn’t pull the hair out, but causes it to fall out.  Because of this, many people feel that laser hair removal is less invasive than waxing.

Waxing vs. Lasers: Frequency

Laser hair removal has been approved as “permanent” by the FDA.  This means that the follicles treated by laser removal are permanently gone.  It doesn’t mean, however, that new hair won’t grow in the treated area.  Waxing, on the other hand, doesn’t kill the hair follicle, but simply removes the existing hair.  Most people find that waxing has to be repeated every 4-6 weeks.  On average, patients find it necessary to return for laser hair removal 1-2 times a year.

Laser hair removal works better on course, dark hair, and is not recommended for fine or light hair.  The greater the contrast between the color of your skin and the color of the hair being removed, the better the result will be.  Many cosmetic surgeons prefer to couple laser hair removal with electrolysis, which is more beneficial for removing fine and light hairs.

Tumescent liposuction is a newer, popular procedure for fat removal. The fees for this type of liposuction are relatively low compared to more traditional procedures.

One of the forms of surgical sculpting for fat removal is the technique of tumescent liposuction, a procedure that limits bleeding with anesthesia fluid, which is pushed into the tissues with anesthetic effects lasting for several hours.

Although, this surgery is able to reduce appreciably the pain, it often is more expensive if you are not careful.

There is no “standard price” or estimate because the fee for tumescent liposuction depends on different factors such as the size and number of the areas of the body to be treated. The price of this procedure also varies from country to country, city to city and from doctor to doctor.

The average fee for liposuction is nearly 00 per area, raising an additional cost of 0 for additional zones.

When it comes to treating large areas requiring tumescent liposuction, additional fees are determined in terms of size and importance of the region to be treated. Generally, you will get an estimate after the first consultation so you can determine the affordability of the procedure.

The more fat your body has accumulated, the higher the price to get it removed by means of tumescent liposuction. Contrary to other liposculpture procedures, tumescent liposuction requires an operating room to be scheduled, general anesthesia or localized sedation for which prices are charged additionally and determined on the extent of the procedure.

Liposuction has become the method of choice for liposuction surgery mainly because the adrenaline added in the solution limits the blood loss that otherwise results from traditional liposuction.

There is no guarantee that secondary surgery may not be needed for any reason, but more often due to large areas being treated rather than complications because tumescent liposuction is considered safe.

In the case of undergoing a secondary surgery, which usually is more difficult, the price for tumescent liposuction increases considerably, charging for two procedures and use of the operating room, anesthesia etc twice. Surgeons who perform the operation have also a remarkable fee variation given the incidentals of the surgery such as blood tests, compression surgical garments and so on.

Cost of this liposuction is highly dependent upon the specific work you are having done. Speak with your plastic surgeon to understand the total fee including the incidental costs.

The concept of hair removal started a long time ago. In ancient Egypt, people removed their body hairs to keep parasites and ticks from growing on their bodies. Insecticides had not been invented yet so this was reason enough for the people at that time to get rid of body hair. Archaeological evidence showed that string, tweezers, sugar, wax and even razors were used for hair removal during ancient times.

The Greeks equated smooth skin with being civilized and the Romans and Sumerians, both men and women alike, used different hair removal methods to remove unwanted hair. In the past, patients were required to shave before they could be operated on for hygiene reasons but they now found out that is was counterproductive so hair removal is no longer practiced before surgery.

Modern hair removal started with a fashion magazine showing a lady in sleeveless gown with clean underarms. It came as a shock at first but eventually caught on and became a trend especially with the help of an executive of an American company which was the first company to advertise campaigns for hair removal and consequently convinced women that underarm hair was unhygienic and unfeminine. As a result, underarm shaving became popular and even before World War I, razors were in demand.

The shortage of silk stockings during WWII started the practice of women shaving their legs. It is still fashion that persuades the women of today to use different hair removal methods in order for them to have smooth and hairless skin as the hemline of their skirts rises.

Reasons For Hair Removal

You may think that the only reason why men and women use hair removal products is due to aesthetics. However, numerous reasons have contributed to this practice. One important motivation would be a medical condition called trichiasis which is the growth of ingrown eyelashes. It is necessary that the ingrown hair be removed to avoid scratching the eye.

There is an ailment called Hypertrichosis that makes a person grow hair excessively. People who have cancer might need to shave their hair off before or during chemotherapy because one of the side effects of this treatment is irregular hair loss.

Gender reassignment from a male to a female might be another motivation why people go through hair removal. Before a transsexual goes through the Genital Reassignment Surgery from male to female, he must remove facial beard hair either by electrolysis or laser, or by using both procedures.

In operations, it is also possible that surgeons will recommend the removal of pubic hair by electrolysis because the surgeon will use the existing penis skin and part of scrotum to make a vagina. Different people may have different reasons for getting their hair removal but one thing is for sure, hair removal practices are here to stay.

Eye bag Removal / Blepharoplasty

Double Eye Lid Surgery / Slit Eye Surgery / Eye Fold Creation

The changes that occur upon aging at the eyelid area are very noticeable and often affect patients’ self esteem. These changes can be fullness and hooding of the upper eyelid skin, poor definition of the upper eyelid folds and puffiness or bagginess of the lower eyelid. These changes are very prominent and affect the facial profile or appearance of the patient thus gives a tired, sad and haggard appearance.

Rejuvenation of the eyelid area is technically called Blepharoplasty, it is a procedure used to improve the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, restoring firmness to the area surrounding the eyes and making you look more rested and alert. A lot of patients that seek consult to improve the appearance of their eyes complain that they have a lot of loose and excess skin at their eye area thus giving them a tired and aged appearance that does not reflect their actual age.

Unlike Brow lift, the effects of blepharoplasty procedure are more localized on the eyelid area. The skin surrounding the eyes is the area where the first signs of aging set in. As early as 2nd to 3rd decade of life, skin redundancy and fat protrusion in the periorbital area can be noted. And through time this may progressively becomes deep wrinkling with hooding of upper eye lid skin, puffy lower eye lids and may be accompanied by drooping of the eye brows. Theses give the face a tired, sad or angry expression. Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that addresses these issues in the eyelid area .

This procedure is done  under local anesthesia and will take 2 to 3 hours to complete. The incision is oriented along the natural fold or crease of the upper and lower eyelids so that the result will be a very inconspicuous scar. Patients should not worry on the final appearance of the scar since this is much concealed and hardly noticeable. Excess skin and protruding fats are excise to create a smooth and crispier appearance of the eyelid skin. This will also improve the definition of the upper eyelid fold.

Thus patients’ eyes are socially presentable by the 7th to 10th day after the surgery since much of the swelling had subsided.  Sutures are removed on the 4th to 5th day after the surgery.

Patients planning to have this procedure are  required to allot 10 to 14 days for the initial consultation, laboratory, medical clearance, surgery, follow up, suture removal and early recuperation. After these,  patients are safe to travel since wounds are already dried and healed.

Unfavorable scarring Temporarily blurred or impaired vision Dry eyes Difficulty closing your eyes Lid lag, a pulling down of the lower eyelid may occur and is often temporary Ectropion, rolling of the eyelid outwards Bleeding (hematoma) Poor wound healing Infection Fluid accumulation Blood clots Numbness and other changes in skin sensation Anesthesia risks Eyelid disorders that involve abnormal position of the upper eyelids (eyelid ptosis), loose eyelid skin, or abnormal laxness of the lower eyelid (ectropion) can coexist with sagging forehead and eyebrow structures; brow lift surgery will not correct these disorders; additional surgery may be required Pain, which may persist Skin discoloration and swelling Sutures may spontaneously surface through the skin, become visible or produce irritation that require removal Deep vein thrombosis, cardiac and pulmonary complications Possibility of revisional surgery Loss of eyesight
