One of the many side affects of the aging process is that your eyelids appear to “droop or you develop bags under your eyes which can make you look older or the appearance of being very tired. Blepharoplasty plastic surgery is an option to improve your appearance in this area.
The removal of fat, excess skin and extra muscle tissue around the eyes will be required, resulting in a firmer, smoother skin around the eyes. To do this small incisions are made into the natural crease of the eyelids, followed by the plastic surgeon removing some fatty tissue and skin after separating it from the skin. Once sufficient fatty tissue and skin has been removed the surgeon will close incisions using very fine sutures. After the procedure, the plastic surgeon will lubricate and bandage the patients eyes, then it is recommended that patients spend about a week recovering from surgery by which time they should be able to continue all there normal activities.

Liposuction is a very straight forward procedure that is used to remove localised deposits of fat from around the body. The reason for having the surgery is to improve the tone and body shape of the patient, rather than serious weight reduction.
Although liposuction can hugely improve the patients overall shape, it cannot guarantee that the uneven effect of cellulite will also be removed. It may well reduce it in some patients and even in some cases make it almost invisible. But this is a by product of the procedure and something that will differ from patient to patient. You should not expect all cellulite to disappear.
Fat cells are removed from the place of treatment meaning that they can never reappear, in the particular place of treatment, although fat may still be visible on parts of the body which are untreated.
A Liposuction procedure should not be undertaken before a patient is fully aware of all of the facts surrounding the procedure. All clinics should offer a consultation as a matter of course.
During the consultation the medical practitioner will usually establish the patient’s suitability for the procedure. They will asses the patient’s past medical history, the elasticity of the patient’s skin, the amount of fat to be removed and then discuss what results the patient can realistically expect from the procedure.
The consultation itself should be with a medical professional, either a surgeon or a nurse. They will explain the nature of the procedure to you and exactly what it will involve. It is important that you make an informed decision and that you allow yourself enough time after the consultation to make a considered choice. Ensure that all surgeons are registered with the General Medical Council.
The procedure is either performed under general anaesthesia or heavy sedation. The duration of the procedure and the length of the patients stay in hospital afterwards depend on the amount of liposuction the patient has elected to undergo.
During the procedure the patient will have a thin hollow pipe inserted under the skin; the pipe will fit through a small incision. By making repeated motions the surgeon will separate away the fat globules and these are vacuumed up by the tube.
The incision itself will be small and will usually be made near a fold in the skin so that the scarring will be kept to the absolute minimum. In most cases only one incision is required in a specific area. The area of the procedure is often treated with different solutions prior to the operation in order to loosen the fatty deposits.
It is vital that all of the surgeon’s instructions are followed by the patient following the procedure. Pressure bandages will be applied immediately after surgery, these will serve to control the level of swelling to the patient and also stop the retention of blood or serum under the skin.
Bruising, swelling and general discomfort are to be expected following the procedure, but all will past comparatively quickly. The patient may return to work after seven days, in some case before. Although they must ensure that they continue the pressure bandages for a period of up to six weeks following the operation.
