Facelift:Surgery, Recovery, and More

Facelift is the most common medical operation for wrinkles removal. It has become very popular among the people in the 20th century. The medical name of facelift is Rhytidectomy. There are many ways to execute such operations. They differ on three main factors, such as the face area, where the operation is done, the invasiveness and the type of incision. 
All the medical surgeons, practicing facelift have different approach for such operations. The surgeon acknowledges the best options for one patient, during the consultation. Every patient has different health status and needs, that`s why the consultation is very important for the doctor to understand and manage the patient`s needs for such operation.
Besides all types of facelift, there is a traditional Rhytidectomy, in which the incision is made on the face from the ear to the hairline. The facelift takes usually up to 3.5 hours. There is a type of the operation which takes no more than2.5 hours. It is called MACS facelift. In the MACS facelift the operation has minimal incision and the features of the face are elevated, by suspending from above. Frankly, the MACS facelift leaves a small scar on the patients` faces, as they are in front of the ear, instead of behind, and thus the patient could easily hide it.
Another type of Rhytidectomy is the Skin-only facelift. It`s very popular among beginners in such medical interventions, mostly because it has fewer side effects and complications. In the skin-only facelift, only the skin of the patients` faces is lifted. Practically the skin lacks elasticity, so the results of the facelift last only from 6 to 12 months.
According to some surveys, as of 2011th the facelift operation was among the most popular aesthetic surgery. It`s a very popular way for makeover, mostly among women.

Laser lipodystrophy is a new and modern way of skin tightening. Many people want to look younger and avoid the signs of the years. One of signs is the loose skin, which make them feel uncomfortable. To reduce and even to eliminate such problems they opt for a surgery, called liposuction. Actually, laser lipodystrophy is another, healthier and less complicated way to get rid off the saggy skin and fat.
 The procedure is suitable for patients who experience sagging skin, but do not need pills. It`s performed with a special device, which tightens the tissues and the skin becomes more elastic. Laser lipodystrophy can be used in the neck, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, inner arm and other areas where the skin is unaesthetic sagged. Depending on the number of the treated areas, the operation lasts between 1 up to 2 hours. It`s performed through several tiny 1 to 2-mm incisions. The recovery period is a few days up to about few months. If you need fast and full recovery, it`s appropriate to wear special elastic underwear. Such precautions will help you to obtain fast and proper healing of tissues.
The laser lipodystrophy is a safer and less painful aesthetic operation, compared to others cosmetic interventions. Though it`s a new and modern technology, the results from the laser lipodystrophy could not be predicted as the others aesthetic operations. The laser device, used during the operation could cause patients some burns.
The surgery is a helpful method to heal health issues, as cellulite, gynecomastia, striae and many others. To apply for a laser lipodystrophy you might need to consult your surgeon, as health issues are very important if an operation is considered. Sometimes people want badly to beatify themselves, no matter what, but they forget that the most important thing is the health.

Liposuction Procedure Reviews

Liposuction is among the most popular ways to remove fat from different parts of the human body. For better treatment of the patients, a consultation with the surgeon is a must. The patient and the doctor decide the sites, in which the fat will be removed from, the desired result from the operation and the health recovery after all. The possible side effects from liposuction could be greater and it depends on the amount of the removed fat. If the amount is bigger, the health risks for the patient are higher. For example, if one patient wants to remove 40 pounds of fat, the weight loss will be greater than the amount of fat that was removed.
The operation is conducted by three main types of anesthesia- local, regional or general. In order to exclude dangerous side effects for the patients` health, it`s not appropriate to have smoked for several months before the operation. It`s recommended, also, the patients to be as fit before the procedure as they are after.
Generally, the liposuction operation is made by two tools, called cannula and aspirator. The cannula is a hollow tube, with its help the fat is removed from the body. The aspirator is a suction device. There are near a dozen types of liposuction, depending on the amount of fluid injection and by the mechanism of cannula.

The most common type of liposuction is the suction-assisted one. During the procedure a small cannula, a straw-like is attached to a small device. The operating surgeon pushes and pulls the cannula, breaking the fat cells and removing them with the suction device.
Another popular type of the operation is the ultrasonic- assisted liposuction. It can work on more sites of the human body, such as upper back or even the male breast area.
