Post-operative compression garments

The success of any plastic surgery is reliant upon not only the skill of the surgeon but also the quality of aftercare; Compression therapy forms a large part of this process and is crucial for satisfactory healing. Wearing the correct garment post-operatively is proven to speed up the healing process and minimise swelling and bruising, as well as reducing pain. The correct level of compression limits the risk of blood clots, haematomas and seromas and prevents the excess fluid accumulation, commonly known as swelling.

For those reasons, compression garments are an important part of the surgery. Patients wearing compression garments after plastic surgery have been reported to have more satisfactory results.

Post-operative compression garments help to keep a constant and uniform pressure on the skin and deeper tissues after the procedure and eliminate swelling caused by possible accumulation of fluid. The right pressure and support are essential to produce optimal healing.

Because patients are significantly less mobile after surgery, that is why we at Manchester Private Hospital are providing our patients with LIPOELASTIC® compression garments that offer different types of fastening and styles to meet all patients’ needs. All garments were designed upon the specific request of top specialists in the field and properly tested. LIPOELASTIC manufactures garments to make it easy to put on and wear; they can be worn throughout the entire recovery period without causing discomfort or interrupting any activity or daily living.

In cooperation with LIPOELASTIC our patients can get an exclusive 10% discount on any order made online by applying MPH10 code.

The Latest Celebrity To Undergo Breast Augmentation

As revealed by the Daily Mirror and other newspapers in the UK, Cardi B is one of the latest celebrities to undergo breast augmentation surgery.

Who Is Cardi B?

Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, is a songwriter and wrapper who was born in New York, USA.

She flaunted her new breasts at this year's Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, of which she now holds 7 BMA's.

Making no secret of the surgery, Cardi B spoke openly about her procedure following body changes after giving birth to her daughter.

The wrapper was particularly unhappy at the changes to her breasts and commented that the skin had stretched due to childbirth.

And it's not the first time Cardi B has undergone cosmetic surgery. The latest procedure is in fact a re-augmentation following a first boob job some years ago.

Lifestyle changes such as weight gain/loss and giving birth to children can have a significant impact on a woman's body and is often not a situation that can be controlled or avoided.

For many, cosmetic surgery treatments such as breast enlargement are designed to last 10 years on average. However, body changes within that time period may mean that you are not entirely happy with the way you now look.

It is not uncommon for patients to undergo surgery for a second and third time depending on their needs and body goals.

At the Manchester Private Hospital, we treat all patients with respect and offer consultations to everyone with our highly skilled consultants to discuss your needs irrespective of where you had your previous surgeries.

So whether you feel you are in need of re-augmentation, breast uplift or nipple correction, be sure to speak with a member of our team who will make you feel comfortable right from the initial conversation.

What's more is, we have the knowledge and experience in the field to ensure you get the body results you desire, including new breasts that are more round, bigger and add volume.

As with Cardi B, there are many reasons why you may be considering a boob job.

Many women are unhappy with how their breasts look and opt for surgery for one or multiple reasons, including; asymmetrical boobs, sagging, stretched skin, flat breasts or lifestyle changes that impact the body, such as carrying a baby for 9 months then giving birth.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Combined Cosmetic Procedures

Cosmetic surgery in 2019 is so much more advanced than 5-10 years ago.

Modern techniques have not only made cosmetic procedures, such as breast augmentation, more accessible to more patients in Manchester, Liverpool, Chester and other regions, but also opened the door to combined procedures.

Combined procedures are known to produce dramatic results in a short period of time, but combining treatments may not be right for every patient.

Combination Breast Surgery

Granted patients have more options and opportunities to enhance their appearance, such as the breasts, but some women are put off by the waiting time and recovery of individual procedures before they can undergo their next cosmetic procedure.

This has resulted in consultants looking to combine multiple procedures in to one operation, in order to achieve the goals of the patient in the most efficient time possible.

Advantages

There are many advantages of combining cosmetic breast procedures and in some cases, depending on the needs and goals of the patient, surgeons may actually recommend multiple surgeries in the initial consultation.

- A breast lift combined with breast enlargement will not only add volume to the boobs, but also make them more perky so that they sit higher on the chest.

- Combining breast procedures will allow for better results both short term and long term following recovery. For example, enlargement alone may not achieve the desired results if the patient is suffering from breast sagging.

- Combination surgery, providing the patient is fit and in good health, will only require one period of recovery and downtime. This means that patients won't have to take additional time off work at a later date, nor will they have multiple periods of recovery as with individual procedures.

Disadvantages:

- A longer period of recovery and length of time off work will be needed initially following combination surgery.

- More scars may be present immediately due to multiple procedures being performed at the same time.

- Combination breast surgery is more expensive than a single procedure, due to the fact that patients are combining two or more procedures in to one. However, in some cases, patients may be able to receive a reduced cost discount overall.

When we talk about combining multiple cosmetic surgery procedures, we talk on an individual basis.

This is because each patient is assessed on a personal level to ensure that their planned procedures are able to realistically achieve their goals.

The best way to find out whether a patients' goals match the potential results is to book a consultation with a qualified breast surgeon, who will be able to provide advice and guidance on up to four procedures (such as enlargement, lift, nipple correction) at any one time.

Is Combined Breast Surgery Right For You?

There are often similarities between women of all ages on the reasons why they are considering breast surgery.

If you are in good health and live a healthy lifestyle, then you may be an ideal candidate for combined breast surgery.

Combined breast surgery helps to achieve multiple results at one time and is often used in a variety of patient scenarios, including:

- Ageing - As we age our breasts naturally lose their volume and can appear as though they hang towards the floor (breast sagging). Patients with this issue can benefit from combined uplift and augmentation.

- Having Children - Going through the stages of pregnancy followed by breast feeding can take its toll on our boobs. It is not uncommon to experience sagging and feel as though your breasts are deflated, which may result in the areola pointing towards the ground. Nipple correction combined with lift and enlargement can help rectify issues in this situation.

- Losing Weight - weight loss (and weight gain) can have a dramatic effect on every part of our bodies. Often patients are left with stubborn fat, stretch marks and saggy boobs. Combined surgery of liposuction, breast lift and tummy tuck may be an option.

If you would like to find out more about combination cosmetic surgery, speak with one of our team at a convenient time for you by calling 0161 507 8822.

We pride ourselves on putting patients at the forefront of everything we do to ensure there is absolutely no pressure to proceed with anything you are not comfortable with.

Mole Removal Options and Information

Moles are a very common part of our life and body appearance. Also known as nevus, which means birthmark, a mole can complement our appearance, but they can also be a hindrance too, causing stress and confidence issues.

In most cases, moles are not cancerous and are benign pigmented lesions, meaning that they do not cause any issues / symptoms and can be left alone.

However, in some cases, despite a mole being benign, it can cause significant distress and make people feel self conscious depending on the location of a single mole or multiple moles.

For this reason, people opt to have them removed.

How Are Moles Removed?

A mole can be removed from any part of the body in a number of ways.

Firstly, a mole will be thoroughly examined by a mole expert and cleaned.

Secondly, the mole can then be removed, usually by excision under local anaesthetic, meaning that you will be awake but won't feel any pain.

Along with making an excision to remove the mole, there are a number of different methods available for mole removal:

1. Shaving - a mole can be professionally shaved away by a mole expert using a scalpel. This procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and will not leave any deep scarring. Patients will usually have a mark where the mole has been shaved.

2. Laser - some moles, depending on their diameter and location, can be removed using a laser. A light energy laser can break down the mole so that it fades and disappears completely.

3. Excision - the mole is cut away using a scalpel and is stitched afterwards to heal the wound. An excision is different to an incision in that the technique cuts around the mole to remove it completely along with some surrounding tissue.

Why Do People Have Moles Removed?

If a mole is considered for removal but is benign, then removing it is purely for cosmetic reasons.

However, there are still a large number of reasons why people have moles removed, including:

They do not like the way they look.
The location of the mole causes issues, such as on the nose - resulting in stress, anxiety and feeling of embarrassment.
The mole is large and intrusive.
The mole causes anxiety for the future, such as risk of cancers.
The mole gets caught on clothing, such as a bra strap, which results in inflammation or irritation.

Removing a mole can sometimes be a bit worrying, but it is very simple and straight forward procedure. In most cases the patient only requires local anaesthetic and can return home in a few hours after having the minor surgery.

However, if the patient does not opt for surgery and instead is a candidate for laser mole removal, the recovery is even quicker.

More About Laser Mole Removal

Laser mole removal is a procedure that has grown in popularity over its surgical counterpart simply because it is less intrusive and does not require being cut in any way.

However, removal by excision often provides a better guarantee that the mole will not return in the future. This is because the mole and some surrounding tissue is removed to prevent re-growth or re-pigmenting at a later date.

On the other hand, being cut obviously results in scarring where the wound has been and a longer recovery and aftercare plan.

So how does laser mole removal work and is it successful?

Laser mole removal works by using a specialist laser after the area is numbed using local anaesthetic. The laser works on the pigmentation in the mole using light energy. Once the pigment clears, the body naturally heals the area and mole disappears or fades.

Sometimes a scab forms in the area where the laser has been working on the mole and the skin may look a little irritated for a few days.

Most patients do not report pain during or after this procedure and it has a high success rate.

Some patients do report a sensation of tingling during the laser treatment but it is generally nothing more than plucking a hair out or snapping the skin with an elastic band.

Pros and Cons of Laser Mole Removal

As with all procedures and treatments, there are a pros and cons with laser mole removal depending on the specifications of the mole and what you are looking to achieve.

The pros are that it has a high success rate and is a non-intrusive treatment. It does not require any cutting and can be used on all areas of the body, especially sensitive areas such as the face and nose. Lastly; as there are no wounds, there is usually no scarring and more than one mole can be treated during the same procedure.

On the flip side, the cons are that not all moles can be treated with laser mole removal. This is because it cannot penetrate deep within the skin and can usually only be used by flatter moles on the surface. Sometimes moles have deep roots that can only be removed by excision.
