Face Lifts Get a Face Lift - The New Trends

Plastic surgery can be a way to improve a part of your body that does not look as good or feel as good as you want it to. It can be a way to transform your appearance and bring a renewed sense of confidence back into your life. The field of plastic surgery has witnessed many advances since it first began. Today's modern and sophisticated forms of cosmetic surgery procedures are safer than ever and often require a shorter recuperation period.

The use of endoscopes for face lifts is one such advancement that has made cosmetic operations safer and more successful than ever. An endoscope is a flexible medical viewing instrument that can be used to view the inside of an organ of the body. They are also slender and can be introduced into the body very easily.

Endoscopes were first used in the medical community by gynecologists who used them to look at the reproductive organs of their female patients. They were also used by orthopedic surgeons to repair tears and damage that had occurred to joint cartilage. Today endoscopes are now being used by cosmetic surgeons as well. This technology has made it such that the doctor can crate smaller incisions on the face and scalp during face lifts.

This is very good news for the patient because it is less intrusive in nature. What it means therefore is a minimum degree of scarring and a quicker recuperation period. The patient will also be likely to suffer less pain and discomfort following the operation. With only the smallest of incisions the operating physician can go about the task of improving the look of your face! Patients and surgeons alike are both very pleased about endoscopic technology.

Liposuction is another plastic surgery procedure that has made strides over the years since it first came into being. The risks involved are now reduced thanks to the advent of tumescent liposuction. The improvements that this cosmetic procedure has brought with it have been ground breaking to say the least.

Tumescent liposuction involves the use of local anesthesia, adrenaline and salt water. These substances are all combined together and then introduced into the body of the patient. The purpose of them is to expand both the fat and the tissues to be operated upon. In other words, this solution renders the area easier to work with for the doctor.

A large percentage of fatty tissue can be removed from the body all at once when the tumescent form of surgery is put to use. This runs contrary to the more conventional forms of liposuction where only small areas could be worked on at once for safety and health reasons.

One of the reasons that doctors who work in plastic surgery like the tumescent method so much is because the patient is put at less risk. Local anesthesia is used instead of general anesthesia. This means that the patient is conscious but is drowsy. As well there is a reduced loss of blood which makes it a safe procedure. Finally, the healing period is considerably less than with more traditions forms of liposuction. This means it is less disruptive to the patient's life and they do not have to take as much time off from their jobs to heal.
