MAJOR COSMETIC SURGERY

DOC WHAT ARE THE MORE MAJOR COSMETIC SURGERIES AND PROCEDURES

Major Cosmetic Surgeries which has some risks:
1.Facelifts for patients with wrinkles, excess folds of skin over jaw and neck.
During a facelift operation the wrinkles and excess skin  are eliminated by by tightening of the skin pulling it upwards and backwards.The purpose of the surgery is to give the patient a natural face tension and smooth skin without excess skin under the jaws and neck.Complications to this surgery include bleeding and infection, damage to the facial nerve .Incisions are hidden within the hairline and in front of the ear.
A normal facelift can last for 5 to 10 years.However not all wrinkles can be eliminated.

2.Eyelid surgery such as double eyelids, removal of bags under the eye and drooping eyelids:
Double eyelids operations are done by incision(cut) under local anesthesia of the skin of eyelid, excess fat is removed and the upper eyelid muscle(levator palpebae superior) is attached to the upper eyelid skin to simulate a natural fold. The result is an eye that look brighter and more awake.
Drooping eyelids are due to stretching of upper eyelid skin as a result of aging.
Removal of the excess skin and any excess fat tissue through an incision of the upper eyelid under local anesthesia will tighten the upper eyelid and prevent drooping.
Bags under the eyes is due mainly to aging with congestion of blood, water and fat under the eye as well as looseness of the lower eyelid. They make a person look tired, sad and old. Excess fat, skin is removed through an incision very close to the margin of the lower eye under local anesthesia.
Recurrence of all 3 conditions can occur after a few years.

3.Nose operation includes reduction of large nose or augmenting a flat nose.
Reduction Rhinoplasty: here the nose is too large,so the operation require dissection of the nasal bone with fine saws and reduction of cartilage under general anesthesia to give the desired shape.
Augmentation Rhinoplasty:The nose is too small, the bridge is too low or the tip is too short .The best way to reshape the nose is with a silicone implant tto alter the shape of the nose aand lift the bridge and tip of nose.This is done under local anesthesia through incision through the nostril so there is no obvious scar.

4.Reduction of bat ears which are sticking out can be done by reshaping the abnormal  ear cartilage and the ear folded backwards until it is parallel to the side of the face. This is done under local anesthesia and usually done for children before going to school.

5.Chin and neck problem can be either protruding too much forward or too far backwards.  Where there is no problem with teeth alignment, treatment is easier with reshaping of the front of the jaw bone.
In cases where the jaw is too short, the shape of the jaw can be corrected with a silicone implant through a small incision inside the mouth.
Where there is problem with teeh alignment, the jaw may be required to be shortened and the teeth realigned. This usually requred the services of a specialist dental surgeon.
Double chin patients usually have too much fat and skin under the neck. The fat and can be removed through a small incision in the neck under local anesthesia and the excess skin can also be removed easily by surgery.

6.The breasts can be either too small or too big.
Augmentation surgery usually involve the insertion of a silicone or saline prosthesis into the space between the breast and the chest wall through an incision under the breast.
Reduction of large breast is done under general anesthesia in hospital with removal of excess breast tissue and transplant of the nipple higher to a normal position.

7.Spare tyre may be in the form of excess fatty tissue and loose skin.
The commonest area is in the bulging abdomen especially in the elderly and in women with several pregnancies. The commonest way to remove excess fat is by liposuction which is done under general anesthesia to suck out most of the fat tissues in the abdominal area, thighs, hips or buttocks.The fat is often softened with saline or liquefying agent.
In cases where there is excessive loosness of the skin some surgery may be needed to remove the excess skin and tighten the muscles of the abdomen.

8.Collagen and botox injections: Collagen injections are used to fill up the depression of scar tissue or deep wrinkles. They are also used to tighten the sphincter of urinary tracts or anus in incontinence cases.
Botox injections are used to numb the nerves of the skin so that the muscles of the skin do not tighten to cause wrinkles.
