Reasons and why you should enjoy sleep more, visit the gym less and have your body shaped evenly

 

What is liposuction? Liposuctioning is a minimally invasive surgery done to shape the body. Liposuction is a minimal risk procedure which is safe and use in improving and reshaping of the body. Liposuction does not require you spending days after the procedure, you can return to daily activity as soon as you feel comfortable.



The procedure is not a whole day thing, its takes few hours or less and you’re ready to go. Fat removed from one part of the body can be injected to other part where contouring is desired (fat transfer).This same fat can serve as a good substitute for prosthetics breast implants or silicon breast  implant which we noticed  n many especially the colored skin that they are averse to it.
Areas of concern for body sculpturing are the abdomen, thighs, breasts, hips, pubis, buttocks, male breast tissue (gynaecomastia), chin/neck, back of the arms, the love handles, the legs and the forehand.


How we work
In our clinic, we make use of the power assisted liposuction machine (2015 edition Moller) with tumescent technique in liposuction and fat transfer. This technique uses cannula that has a spinning end to break the fat while the fat is being suctioned. In this procedure we use standard markings and incisions less than 5mm to pass the cannula under the skin to the fat layer while the cannula with a spinning end breaks the deep and superficial fats and simultaneously suck the fats.

This technique has been proven to reduce bruising and bleeding, less risk and discomfort. Liposuction is usually done as an outpatient procedure in our properly equipped clinic for localized areas of the body especially when there is no other major procedure to be done. In general, it does not require an overnight hospital stay unless a large volume of fat is being removed or additional procedure is done. Local anesthesia is used in some cases and you may or may not be given a sedative to help you relax. If a large area or volume of fat is being removed, general anesthesia or deep sedation with a local anesthetic may be used.

Our fat transfer is by use of Tulip cannula an American device after careful separation of the fat before transfer is done to request areas of the body e.g. the butt or the face.


VARICOSE VEIN.
Varicose veins are enlarged veins that can be blue, red, or flesh-colored. They often look like cords and appear twisted and bulging. Varicose veins are often found on the thighs, backs of the calves, or the inside of the leg. During pregnancy, varicose veins can form around the vagina and buttocks.

WHAT CAUSES THIS ISSUE
Varicose veins can be caused by weak or damaged valves in the veins. As your leg muscles squeeze, they push blood back to the heart from your lower body against the flow of gravity. Veins have valves that act as one-way flaps to prevent blood from flowing backwards as it moves up your legs. If the valves become weak, blood can leak back into the veins and collect there. (This problem is called venous insufficiency.) When backed-up blood makes the veins bigger, they can become varicose.

FACTORS THAT MAY INCREASE RISK OF VARICOSE INCLUDE:
1)  Age,
2) Hereditary
3) Hormonal changes. (Puberty, pregnancy, and menopause).
4) Taking birth control pills and other medicines containing estrogen and progesterone also may contribute to the forming of varicose or spider veins.
5) Obesity.
6) Lack of movement- Sitting or standing for a long time may force your veins to work harder to pump blood to your heart. This may be a bigger problem if you sit with your legs bent or crossed.
7) Sun exposure.
Treatments Options
Use of compression garment, sclerosant, Radiofrequency, surgical and laser including endovascular laser are common intervention available. All methods can be used in our clinic after evaluation.

CONGENITAL CLEFT LIP AND PALATE
Cleft lip and cleft palate are birth defects that occur when a baby’s lip or mouth do not form properly during pregnancy. Together, these birth defects commonly are called “orofacial clefts”. These birth defects happen early during pregnancy. A baby can have a cleft lip, a cleft palate, or both a cleft lip and cleft palate.

This is one of the commonest childhood anomalies. The body during the process of face forming in utero may end up with structural failure appearing as deformities.
