Tummy Tuck - Post Surgical Scars

By -

The most common question which is asked before the tummy tuck surgery is about the visibility and length of the post surgical scars. The scars of the surgery depends on the type of surgery performed.



There are two types of tummy tuck surgery known as partial and complete abdominoplasty. In complete abdominoplasty two incisions are made the first incision is along the bikini line and second is made around the belly button. In the case of partial abdominoplasty also known as mini tummy tuck a single incision is made between the navel and pubic hair line same as the first incision of complete abdominoplasty.



The length of the incision depends on the needs and expectations of the person who is undergoing surgery. The person who want remove extra fat and skin from lower abdomen can undergo mini tummy tuck. The scar of mini tummy tuck surgery is shorter in length and patient recovers fast after the operation. This type of scar can be easily hidden under a swim suit or an underwear. On the other hand complete abdominoplasty is performed in the person who need intervention in the area above and below the navel. A circular incision is made around the belly button in addition to the first incision as a result a post operative scar can be seen around the navel.



The larger will be the amount of skin and fat which will be removed longer will be the scar. The period of recovery will be longer and the post surgical scars will be more visible if the person undergoing surgery is a smoker.

Eyelid Surgery - Special Considerations For Older Plastic Surgery Patients

By -
In 2007, the eyelid lift was the number one cosmetic procedure of the 55 and older crowd. That age group also accounted for nearly 50% of all the people having the procedure. Now, cosmetic surgical procedures certainly aren't just for the older crowd anymore. Men and women in the 30s and 40s are turning back the years as well. However, because their skin still has good elasticity, they can use the non-invasive methods to regenerate their skin. As you get older, your skin loses elasticity and surgical techniques are the only way to truly get rid of the wrinkles and tighten the skin. While surgical cosmetic work is common in people 55 and older, this means that the surgeon and the patient have to take more precautions. Here are some of the special considerations for older patients seeking an eyelid lift: 1. Overall health - This is not to say that everyone seeking plastic surgery that is less than 55 is in perfect health, but the chance of having certain health issues is increased w

Eyelid Surgery - Why a Laser Eye Lift is Better Than Eye Cream

By -
Modern eyelid surgery can rejuvenate the eyelids and remove tired eyes, bags under eyes, eye hoods, dark circles and eye wrinkles with much less down time and fewer complications than ever before. New laser eyelid surgery is faster with less bruising and no change in eyelid shape after surgery. Expecting an eye cream to remove eye bags is like putting an aspirin on top of your head to cure a headache. What is also new is that the laser is used for eyelid surgery and a visible incision on the lower eyelid is no longer required. The new technique is called transconjunctival blepharoplasty meaning the incision for the lower eyelid surgery is made on the inside of the eyelid-thus no visible scar and no change in eyelid shape. What Can Modern Laser Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty Achieve?

This is called Dermatochalasis, but is commonly called eye hoods o

Nose Job From 500 BC To 2008

By -
A nose job is medically termed as rhinoplasty. It is the name given to the surgical procedure normally performed by a plastic surgeon to improve the cosmetic appearance of a person's nose. A nose job is the medical alteration of one's nose look to make it look better. Sushruta, a Hindu physician, was the one who first introduced and developed the concept of plastic surgery for noses. It was in 500 BC when he attempted to reconstruct the noses of his amputated patients. During that time, noses were removed as punishment for certain crimes. The procedure surrounding a nose job requires local or general anesthesia, depending upon the extent of the operation. There will be incisions made inside the nose. They can also be made on the skin separating the nostrils. The surgeon would reshape the cartilage and the bone of the nose. Without anesthesia, the patient won't be able to withstand the pain. This is also the reason why nose jobs can only be conducted inside a hospital or a f
