Cosmetic Procedures:

Liposuction:

Liposuction is a form of cosmetic surgery aims which removes excess fat. Excess fat built up due to lack of diet or exercise or hereditary condition. Procedures are mainly around the lower abdomen and thighs.

The cosmetic surgery produces the desired effect when one has so called lovehandles and only requires a modest amount of surgery. And where liposuction is performed on patients believing to be obese or requiring more intensive liposuction the results are often satisfactory to the patients but can leave excess skin.

In terms of the excess skin it can be removed but scars occur and some patients go from liposuction to excess skin removal to scar reduction and that is where the costs start to add up.

In our view we recommend our clients to lose some weight and to get into a regular exercise routine first. And then consider liposuction. The advantage is that the diet and exercise may produce the desired results and if not then the patient can still go ahead with the liposuction but at least be in better physical condition before the contemplated procedure.

The result of liposuction cosmetic procedures vary from good to fantastic based on our research and reviews.

There are different types of liposuction procedures available, and generally the procedure involves the removal of excess fat under general anesthetic by making an incision in the target area before introducing a saline solution to loosen fat cells. The fat is then sucked out and most of us have seen this performed on tv programs which we have watched.

There is also liposuction utilizing a laser. Fat cells are melted and loosened with a laser before removal. After the procedure, natural drainage may be selected instead of stitching up the small incision.

Liposuction is generally a safe procedure which procedures good results and in Thailand the cost is very affordable. Once can vacation here and have the procedure and return home looking better and feeling better about yourself.

Scar Reduction and Removal:

Scars may be the result of accidents, injuries or even surgery. Many people dislike having the scars and look at ways to have them removed. Where scars cannot be removed the option is scar reduction making the scar smaller or less visible.

Obesity surgery can result in scars and many women opt for scar reduction so that they can wear a bikini or swimwear without fear.

Hair Transplants:

Hair loss is common for men and occurs with women as well. The major reason for male baldness is male pattern baldness. Blame our parents and grandparents and our genes. In the case of females, pattern baldness can be attributed to hormonal imbalances, pregnancy, and other factors.

Every day we lose hairs from our head and when fallout exceeds new growth baldness starts. While some men opt for hairpieces and with good results the problem seems to be constant care of hairpieces, ongoing costs of maintenance and new hairpieces and someone with a restored head of hair by way of a hair transplant will feel more confident about their appearance versus someone who opted for the hairpiece. One person's opinion.

Hair transplant procedures takeng hair from the back or the sides of the head (donor areas) to transplant the the bald or thinning areas (recipient areas). As the hair follicles are alive and from your own head, once they are transplanted they will continue to grow for the rest of your lifetime.

Procedures vary in cost and time to complete based on amount of thinning or hair loss and desired effect that client expects.

Surgery can be performed in a hospital or in a clinic. Procedures usually last a few hours and may require a number of return trips to get the final and desired result.

After the procedures one may have to wear a head bandage, and may have to be alter their normal sleeping positions. Pain medication is provided for the first few days after the procedure and within a week one can resume most of one's normal activities including physical exercise and swimming.

And where the procedure is successful clients look and feel younger and feel better about themselves. This leads to more self confidence and even improved job and business results.

Face Lift:

Face lifts have become one of the most common and requested cosmetic procedures.

Also referred to as a rhytidectomy, the procedure involves tightening of skin on the face and can be done in conjunction with nost reshaping (rhinoplasty) or eye lifts (blepharoplasty).

A standard face lift procedure involves incisions behind each ear. The skin is separated from the tissues and pulled tighter across the cheek bones. Excess skin at the incision point is cut away before the wounds are closed, often with stitches.

Procedure are performed with patients under general anesthetic, and operations can take between 3 and 6 hours. Full healing may require 2 to 4 months.

We recommend 1 to 2 month visit to Thailand for the procedure which allows for healing and some vacation fun and allows one to return home with few if any indications of a cosmetic procedure other than the intended result.

We have written to, emailed and visited hair transplant and facelift clinics in Chiang Mai and would not recommend these procedures to be done here in Chiang Mai.

Nose Reshaping:

Nose reshaping is commonly referred to as rhinoplasty. The cosmetic procedure is designed to improve one's appearance and is also used for car accident victims, and other reasons.

One can often select the nose one wants after the procedure be it longer or shorter or straighter. Then while under a local or general anesthetic the nose is reshaped. Bond is separated from cartilage and the tip is reshaped and even implants added in the case of short noses that require lengthening.

Recovery period is about 2 weeks during which one should not get overexposed to the sun's rays, be careful with washing or cleaning or blowing of one's nose. Scarring is minimal and often unoticeable.
