COSMETIC SURGERY
Which are the various currently practised types of anaesthesia?
The local anaesthesia is possible when the intervention relates to only one small anatomical zone.It does not require a hospitalization. The typical example is the treatment of the higher eyelids.
The infiltration is a form of more elaborate local anaesthesia indicated for larger surfaces. It consists in mixing a local anaesthetic with physiological salt solution which one slowly injects under the skin of the zone to treat. There is no hospitalization. The typical example is the treatment of panties of horse; the minilifting, the lipoaspiration cervical ...... Neurolept-analgesia is a form of very light general anaesthesia for which there is no respiratory depression and thus not of intubation.
The depth of this anaesthesia can be modulated according to the technical needs. It is very frequently used and requires one half-day of hospitalization. The typical example is the treatment of the four eyelids, certain lipoaspirations, even certain light facelifts etc the general anaesthesia is used, and offers greatest operational comfort to the surgeon and to the patient. Its utility is not debatable in many cases. Sometimes one can hesitate between two types of anaesthesia but it is always preferable to use an anaesthesia with which the surgeon will work correctly and the patient will not have badly rather than the opposite which proves more dangerous. The rachidian anaesthesia deadens the rachidian nerves of the members like the anaesthesia péridurale. It is rather used to deaden the zones below the basin like the lipoaspiration of the thighs and with the preference certain doctors and patients
Is it necessary to lose before a surgical operation?
The answer is yes in many cases. However certain patients present genetically given greasy pads for which the slimming does not have any effect. Only the lipoaspiration can treat such cases. Some patients present a light ponderal excess or lost much and do not manage any more to lose their belly for example in spite of many efforts. One can under certain conditions of operating them so as to reward their efforts, to justify them to maintain their weight and to make their body in conformity with their hopes.
Can one be made operated at any age?
The age plays a very relative part if the patient is in good health, that its motivation is good, and that its life is in harmony with such a decision. The intervention can then have a really beneficial action. It is obviously necessary to make practise a very neat preoperative assessment.
The cosmetic surgery concerns more and more the active man anxious to preserve his image and to be in phase with its environment. Fifteen to twenty percent of the interventions are practised at men for the lipoaspiration, the ears separated, the surgery of the renovation, etc..
As we explained, the cosmetic surgery is addressed to the subjects in physical and mental good health. However certain pathologies do not contra-indicate an intervention if one correctly takes it into account. Well treated arterial hypertension, the diabetes not insulino depending well balanced, hyperthyroïdie etc... do not prevent an intervention which can be beneficial. It is the role of the anaesthetist (but of the surgeon also) to appreciate the possibility or not of practising an intervention depending on the state of the patient. It is always advisable to initially regulate the medical problem before any decision.
Any surgical operation involves risks which are always measured. Certain risks depend on the surgeon and are avoided thanks to his experiment, its know-how and with its serious. Other risks are independent of the surgeon and are specific to certain interventions. The appearance of a hull after the installation of prostheses cannot be easily avoidable in certain cases. The use of prostheses of good quality, the delicate installation and behind large muscle pectoral etc contribute to strongly reduce this risk. The flow of lymph after the surgery of the belly in is another example. The surgeon must approach with the patient the whole of these inherent risks to any intervention.
Most important point; it is always necessary to speak before an intervention about cosmetic surgery. A final improvement is a complementary gesture to perfect the result of an intervention whereas that Ci as a whole is successful well.
Two cases can arise overall :- Certain decisions during the operation can be delicate.To raise the bump of a nose is simple but each intervention is different, it is necessary to adapt to each case. The surgeon can sometimes remain careful and decide not to make some more in order to await the operational evolution post and appreciate the result. It is in this context to better carry out small a râpage additional under local anaesthesia a few times after to find itself with an edge of the nose too dug and very difficult to correct.
- The result of an intervention is good but the scar is average because of the cicatricial ground of the subjects. The resumption of the scar is desirable to give a maximum result.
