Fat Transfer in Lithuania: Kaunas

Fat transfer (fat grafting) techniques have been used in cosmetic and medical procedures for many years. The technique recognises fat as the body’s most valuable source of stem cells, and thus the capacity of transferred fat cells to help rejuvenate the overlying skin. The procedure involves the removal of fat from areas where it is either unnecessary or unwanted, and then re-implants it into other areas of the body. Fat transfer procedures are a two-step process: first, precise BodyJet liposuction targets unwanted fat deposits in the body; second, the live fat cells are injected into the relevant area of the body – typically the breasts, buttocks, face or scarred areas. Between 50 and 70 per cent of fat cells survive the transfer process; meaning a certain degree of ‘overcorrection’ will be factored in by your surgeon.

You might want to remove excess fat from your thighs and boost the shape or size of your breasts or buttocks. Lipo Assisted Fat Transfer may be the perfect solution. It’s a straightforward procedure and the recovery period is relatively short – you can expect to return to work in a week or two.

Although fat transfer is considered to be a very safe procedure, no surgery is risk free. There is a possibility of bruising, bleeding and infection. Also, fatty lumps and volume loss in the injected area may develop. Overall, the fat transfer complication rate is extremely low.

A thigh lift is a procedure that involves the removal of excess skin and fat from either the inner or outer thighs. This is often desirable after substantial or bariatric weight loss or in individuals for whom dieting and exercise have failed to reduce excess tissue in their upper thighs. Liposuction may be used as an adjunct to the recontouring of the inner thigh. If you are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a moderate weight, a thigh lift can help you regain the youthful thigh contours you desire.

When to consider it?

 - If you want your thighs to have a better, more proportional contour and a firmer look and feel.

 - If you have undergone bariatric surgery or massive weight loss.

 - If you are distressed about loose, flabby skin on your thighs.

 - If you have difficulty fitting into clothing because of heavy thighs.

Who is a candidate for thigh lift?

The following are some common reasons why you may want to consider a thigh lift:

The effects of aging have led to sagging, cellulite and loose skin on your thighs.

You have succeeded in a weight reduction program and you now desire shapely thighs that reflect your more proportional, toned figure.

Clothes do not fit properly because of your heavy thighs.

Your thighs make you feel self-conscious and you want to restore your self-assurance regarding your body.

If you are in good general health, have a positive attitude and realistic expectations, you are most likely a good candidate for this procedure.

How is thigh lift performed?

Medial (inner) thigh lift: An incision is made in the groin area, and any excess fat and skin are excised along the inner aspect of the thigh. Liposuction may be but is not always included in this procedure, depending on your individual requirements. The area from the groin to the knee is recontoured and the procedure is repeated for the other thigh. If a more substantial wedge of tissue is removed, the procedure is called a thighplasty.

Lateral (outer) thigh lift:This is a more complex procedure, usually involving recontouring of the buttocks as well as the outer thighs and removal of more tissue. Scarring is more extensive, and the skin will be less elastic after the surgery, so weight should be maintained.

Brazilian butt lift

The brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a type of butt augmentation procedure which results in youthful, prominent, perky buttocks and a more sensual body profile.

The surgical procedure uses your own fat, so it is the most natural way to augment your buttocks. Over the last few years, the buttocks have received more press coverage than ever before. People of all ages and body types are having the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure.

Candidates for the procedure include both women and men who have these symptoms:

flat buttocks
sagging buttocks
asymmetrical buttocks
small (disproportionate) buttocks
massive weight loss which has changed the buttock's shape

The Brazilian Butt Lift technique varies dramatically among cosmetic surgeons. The technique that your surgeon uses will affect not only your surgical result, but will also influence how long your results last. We have been using the same technique for over 10 years, but  have refined our processing so that you get the purest and most viable fat possible reinjected into your buttocks. This helps ensure the longest lasting result. Our technique involves fat extraction with liposuction, processing of the fat, and micro reinjection of fat droplets. Fat extraction is performed by liposuction. Fat processing involves decanting and centrifugation. The final step is the process of fat injection back into the buttocks. The process of fat reinjection involves hundreds of injections. The procedure is designed to fill the upper quadrant of your buttocks so that the butt appears lifted and perky. The resulting effect is that your profile appears more attractive and sensuous.

Rhinoplasty In Lithuania: Kaunas

Rhinoplasty surgery:

Rhinoplasty, also called nose reshaping surgery, is a cosmetic surgery during which certain aesthetic changes for cosmetic purposes or deformities of nose are corrected. Injuries, birth defects, aging changes or aesthetic proportions that make you feel uncomfortable and self-conscious can be corrected by a cosmetic surgeon. Primary rhinoplasty is the term used to describe a nose job carried out on the nose for the very first time. Any subsequent surgery is known as secondary rhinoplasty.

The procedure takes 2-4 hours. It is done under general anesthesia. The day after the surgery you are free to go home for rehabilitation and you can come back to your daily routine in 10 to 14 days.

Rhinoplasty enables a cosmetic surgeon to make the next changes to your nose:

- To reduce the whole nose
- To change an angle between nose and upper lip
- To eliminate or to reduce the nose hump
- To change the nose tip
- To reshape nostrils

Before the operation the procedure is discussed in great detail in order to decide what changes would be the most suitable for your face, a picture of the after surgery appearance is created in advance ito allow you to see the changes.

Otoplasty surgery In Lithuania: Kaunas

Otoplasty (ear correction) surgery:

Otoplasty is the surgical procedure which reshapes external ear, fixes either deformities or simply causes them to look much better. Otyoplasty is usually either an aesthetic or reconstructive procedure. Classic otoplasty is also often known as ear pinning, in which big or extruding ears are "pinned" back towards the person's head. Reconstructive otoplasty allows to take care of serious ear defects that may originate from birth or even some type of external injury.

The otoplasty surgery takes just 1.5 hour. It is usually done under a local anesthesia. After the surgery a patient can almost immediately recover at home. After the surgery ears are bandaged in order to protect and to promote the best healing position for the ears. A new dressing is necessary the next day. Stitches are taken out in 7- 8 days. A bandage over the ears must be worn the next 7 days 24 hours per day. Later it is advised to wear the bandage for 2 weeks more at nightime.

Complications after the otoplasty surgery are rare. For 3% of all patients there is a light bleeding for the first couple of days. For the same amount of all patients an ear can return to the previous position in 2-3 months, but then the second corrective surgery can be done. However, the most common symptom after the surgery is the slight pain which the patients may feel for 1-2 days.

Face-lift in Lithuania: Kaunas

Facelift surgery:

A facelift is a surgery which requires precision and attention to detail therefore the surgeon must be well experienced and dedicated. Well done surgery brings rejuvenation, self confidence and perfect appearance. Face lift surgery targets different problems like taking away wrinkles or saggy skin. It may also include brow lift, eyelid surgery or a skin resurfacing with laser treatment.

The operation can take three to four hours, depending on what you're having done. Your surgeon will explain the options suitable for you and each procedure. You may have other procedures such as a brow-lift or eyelid surgery done at the same time. Your surgeon will make a cut in your hairline, down past the front of your ears and up into your hairline again behind your ears. Your surgeon may also make cuts under your chin if you’re having your jawline lifted. Your skin is carefully separated from the underlying tissues.

Your surgeon will then remove or reposition the excess fat and tighten the muscles or surrounding tissues. The skin will then be pulled back and any leftover skin trimmed. With some techniques, your surgeon may leave permanent stitches under your skin that hold the deep tissues in the lifted position. These may reduce the tension on the skin when it’s closed. Your skin is stitched back to the line where the cut was first made.

After the surgery it is necessary to wear a special splint for 2 weeks. Recovery in bed for 2-3 days is also recommended. After about 10 days the stitches can be removed.

Gynecomastia Surgery In Lithuania: Kaunas

Gynecomastia surgery:

Gynecomastia is enlargement of the gland tissue of the male breast. During infancy, puberty, and in middle-aged to older men, gynecomastia can be common. Gynecomastia must be distinguished from pseudogynecomastia or lipomastia, which refers to the presence of fat deposits in the breast area of obese men. True gynecomastia results from growth of the glandular, or breast tissue, which is present in very small amounts in men. Gynecomastia is the most common reason for medical evaluation of the male breast.

In pseudogynecomastia liposuction the fat is removed by suction, while during hormonal gynecomastia the breast tissue cannot be suctioned and has to be removed by surgical excision - male breast reduction. It is usually performed through the lower part of the aerola (between the pigmented part and the skin).

The surgery scars are barely visible. Moreover, complications are very rare when male breast reduction is performed by an experienced cosmetic surgeon.

Hernia Surgery In Lithuania: Kaunas

What is a hernia?

A hernia is a gap or space in the strong tissue that holds muscles in place. A hernia occurs when the inside layers of the abdominal muscle have weakened, resulting in a bulge or tear. In the same way that an inner tube pushes through a damaged tire, the inner lining of the abdomen pushes through the weakened area of the abdominal wall to form a small balloon like sac. This can allow a loop of intestine or abdominal tissue to push into the sac. The hernia can cause discomfort, severe pain, or other potentially serious problems that could require emergency surgery. Both men and women can get a hernia. You may be born with a hernia (congenital) or develop one over time. A hernia does not get better over time, nor will it go away by itself. There are no exercises or physical therapy regimen that can make a hernia go away.

Types and symptoms of hernia:

The most common types of hernia include inguinal, femoral, incisional and umbilical hernias.

Inguinal hernias occur in the groin and are divided into two groups: indirect and direct hernias. Indirect inguinal hernias protrudes through the internal inguinal ring to the inguinal canal and follow the course of the spermatic cord. Direct hernias bulge straight through a defect in the lower abdominal wall muscles. Inguinal hernias are more common among men.

Femoral hernia occurs just below the inguinal ligament, with the protrusion of the abdominal contents into the femoral canal. This type of hernia affects more women than men.

Incisional hernia develops at the surgical incision site made by a previous abdominal surgery. It is more likely to occur if the wound has not healed well (e.g. there was a surgical site infection).

Umbilical hernia involves a protrusion of the abdominal contents through the navel. It often occurs in obese or pregnant women or new-borns.
Overall, abdominal wall hernias have a variety of clinical presentations depending upon their location. Generally, there are no symptoms except a painless bulge varying in size. However, hernias may cause discomfort or increased pain when standing up or stretching.

Treatment

Whatever type of hernia a person has, it is recommended to consider a proper and timely treatment. It is suggested to treat hernias to prevent obstruction of the herniated intestine or strangulation of the protruded tissue. There are two ways to treat hernias. The first is a non-invasive treatment where special devices and medications designed to keep the protruded tissue within the abdominal cavity are used. This type of treatment is rarely recommended by experienced doctors because of the high rate of failure.

The second and more sustainable way to treat hernia is invasive surgery. The way the surgery is carried out may be an open surgery where the abdominal cavity is cut open or it may be a laparoscopic procedure. This is a less invasive method where the surgeon makes a couple of incisions in the abdominal wall and performs the procedure using special instruments. In both cases the same effect is to restore the integrity of the abdominal wall and to reduce the mass of the protruded tissue. To do so, the mass of the hernia is pushed into the abdominal cavity and the weak part of the abdominal wall muscles is either mended with sutures or covered up with special mesh prosthesis without using the tension. The latter is a longer lasting way to surgically treat the hernia.
