CONSULTATION BEFORE PLASTIC SURGERY ON THE FACE

Before any surgical intervention, an initial consultation with a plastic surgeon is necessary. This is necessary to determine the indications for surgery, clarify the scope of the intervention in the light of all the wishes of the patient, as well as choosing the best method for correcting existing deficiencies. The doctor clarifies in detail all of the existing complaints, clarifies what areas of the face are particularly problematic and what results the woman would like to achieve as a result. He tells about all the methods of plastic surgery available at our clinic and specifies how much is facial plastic surgery in the volume the patient requires.

If the date of surgery is determined, preliminary preparation for the intervention is necessary. First of all, it is decided what medications need to be cancelled or added before the surgery, whether there are allergies to medications, what the general health of the woman is.

Two weeks before surgery, it is important to avoid smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages. One week before the operation, exclude medications that affect blood clotting. Surgery is performed on an empty stomach under general anesthesia, so it is important to stop eating for 8 hours and drinking fluids 3-4 hours before surgery.

PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSTICS

Before any surgical intervention, a complete set of examinations, including laboratory tests, instrumental studies and medical consultations, is performed. It is necessary to visit a general practitioner and consult with an anesthesiologist, perform a fluorography and ECG, undergo blood and urine tests, including tests for antibodies to HIV, syphilis and hepatitis, clotting tests, and biochemical analysis. In addition, the blood group and Rh factor are determined.

PROCESS OF OPERATION

The sequence of operations depends on the chosen method and amount of correction. But in general, facial plastic surgery is carried out according to certain algorithms. First of all, a marking is made on the face and neck in the area of subsequent incisions and corrections and lifts. After the final discussion of the details of the intervention and the expected results, the woman is put under anesthesia to ensure complete anesthesia and immobility during the intervention.

The surgeon treats the surgical field with antiseptics, protects the surgical area with sterile napkins, and makes the cuts. All necessary stages of the operation are performed - skin tightening, correction of fat deposits and muscles. After all the necessary stages, sutures are drawn, so that after healing they are practically invisible. The areas of the sutures are closed with sterile dressings, the skin is treated, the patient is taken out of anesthesia and transferred to the post-operative room.

REABILITATION

The rehabilitation period depends on the type of surgery and the amount of tissue that has been corrected. In the first few days there may be swelling, small bruises, and pain in the affected area. These are normal tissue reactions to the intervention. It is important to follow all the doctor's recommendations, come for regular scheduled check-ups, and after the removal of stitches, follow all the necessary rules that the doctor will specify. In general, the results of the surgery are visible in a period of 2-3 weeks to 3 months, as the tissues heal.
