| BEFORE YOUR SURGERY In the week before, you should not take any medications containing aspirin (acetyl salicylic acid), since these products affect the bloods clotting mechanism and therefore may lead to excessive bleeding during and after surgery hence resulting in increased bruising. Taking high doses of vitamin E preparations, eating large amounts of garlic and consuming alcohol can also produce the same result and should be avoided. If pain medication is necessary, we recommend you take ibuprofen/paracetamol. It is in your own best interests to quit smoking, at least two weeks before and until 2 weeks after surgery. It is well known that smoking causes narrowing of the blood vessels, which leads to a decreased blood supply to the skin, thus slowing and interfering with the healing process. Be sure to inform your surgeon of any medications you take, as well as possible allergies including (drug, latex, plasters and so on). Your surgeon will decide whether preliminary examinations are necessary, such as blood tests, an electrocardiogram, or x-rays of the lungs. If this is the case, these tests should be performed several weeks before the surgery. It is best not to wear any makeup when you come in for your operation, and to tie your hair back if possible. |

| THE PROCEDURE During the procedure, the area to be 'lifted' will be injected with a local anaesthetic to numb the area. Once the area is sufficiently anaesthetised, a very small incision (about 0.5cm) is made behind the ear (for the mid and lower face) and a special needle will be inserted under the skin and muscle, this allows a specifically designed thread to be drawn under the skin and around the muscle. Once the thread is in place, the surgeon will pull the thread tight, lifting the muscle, which in turn lifts the skin. This thread will remain in the body, either permanently or lasting about 6 yrs before it is broken down and dissolved completely, depending upon the thread used. Immediately after the procedure you may be left with slight 'folds' on either side of the face, these folds will release and disappear completely within one to two weeks, leaving the skin lifted and the face more youthfully looking. Please bear in mind that the results from this procedure will vary from person to person, depending upon the area to be treated and the condition of each individuals skin. It is important to have realistic expectations, and to know that, although cosmetic surgery can improve your looks, helping you to look more youthful, we cannot perform miracles. Both the doctor and the patient should have realistic ideas of the final results, taking into account the limitations of the treatment and the nature of each individual case. |
