Thigh Lift

Overview of the surgery:

Thigh lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to tighten the skin of the thigh and reduce sagging in the inner or outer thigh resulting in smoother and contoured skin. The ideal candidates for thigh lift are patients who have lost a lot of weight and the skin of the inner thigh sags or are droopy. The incision is based on the areas to be treated and extent of correction. The surgeon typically uses an incision that runs from the groin, around the back of the thigh and the crease of the buttock. The underlying tissue will be tightened and skin will be reduced resulting in a more improve body contour. The incisions are then closed with stitches which are either absorbable or non-absorbable.

Duration of the operation:

 The surgery usually takes two to three hours

Post operative care:

• Patient will feel some discomfort and tightness for the first 48 to 72 hours, but should begin to feel normal after 3 days. Prescribed pain killers will be given to relieve discomfort. Swelling may take 3-5 weeks to subside.
• Patient will be fitted with a compression garment to protect the incisions and promote shrinking and tightening of the skin after surgery. Drainage tubes are inserted to reduce swelling and get rid of excess fluid. These tubes can be safely removed when the output of drainage fluid is clear and already low.
• Keep your legs slightly bent at the hips a few days following surgery. This will reduce pain and minimized tension on the incision site. Wound dressing will be done on a daily basis so that incision site remains dry and free from bacterial infection. You may take a shower for about 3 days after surgery. Early ambulation as soon as possible after surgery to reduce the risk of developing blood clots.

Recovery period:

Thigh lift surgery is generally well tolerated, but the recovery time is 2-3 weeks. We strongly recommend strict bed rest for the first 10 days--avoiding all movement to help speed up recovery time. Out of town patients who have the thigh lift must stay a minimum of 2 weeks in town.

Possible risk and complications:

There are certain risks associated with any medical procedure. Some of the risks associated with thigh lifts include: Scarring, infection, and bleeding, fluid accumulation, poor wound healing, asymmetry, anesthesia risk, fat necrosis, blood clots, numbness, continuous pain, bruising and swelling, deep vein thrombosis, unsatisfactory results and a possibility of a secondary surgery.

Anesthesia use:

The procedure can be done under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation.

Hospital admission:

You will be requested to sign in hospital consent form. Then you need five nights
admission to hospital for recuperation.

Preparation before surgery:

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
• Blood and urine samples will be collected for routine preoperative laboratory tests.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.
• Bruising and swelling can be minimized if you take certain nutritional supplements before your surgery such as arnica and bromelain. Find out what your surgeon recommends you take – or stop taking – before your surgery to improve the results and minimize the risks.

Trachea Shave Surgery

Overview of the surgery:

Trachea Shave Surgery (commonly called Adam’s apple Shaving) is a surgical procedure in which the thyroid cartilage is reduced in size by shaving down the cartilage to achieve a more feminine appearance. The procedure can be done as an out patient surgery under local anesthesia or under a general anesthesia. The incision is usually 2-3 cm in length. The surgeon makes a horizontal incision at the highest crease of the skin on the throat below submental (chin) area then the vertical muscles in the throat are separated to expose the cartilage.  The thyroid cartilage is reduced, usually by shaving in the most prominent area and the rim of its upper border. The thyroid cartilage contouring is a delicate process and need to be done meticulously especially for those who have calcified (hard) cartilage due to aging process.

Duration of the operation:

The feminization of the Adam’s apple (trachea shaves) takes about 1 hour

Post operative care:

• During the first 24- 48 hours, patient may experience some varying degrees of swelling and temporary mild voice weakness that includes lowering of pitch and hoarseness following surgery.
• Apply ice pack to the surgical site for a couple of days to gradually decrease swelling. Swelling will subside over 1-2 weeks and bruising resolves in 1-3 weeks.
• Patient must rest voice following surgery. Avoid shouting or singing for 2 weeks after surgery.
• The procedure leaves a prominent red scar that lightens over 1-3 months.
• Patient will have stitches often supplemented by surgical tape or butterfly bandages for a few days.
• Wound dressing is performed daily. Stitches and tape must be kept dry at all times.
• Patient must avoid electrolysis immediately around the incision until surgeon recommends it to continue.
• Application of antibiotic ointments, vitamin E oil, or other topical preparations is prescribed by some surgeons to aid healing process.

Recovery period:

A piece of gauze will cover the incision for the first 2 or 3 days after Adam’s apple reduction. For about 7 to 10 days you will probably have a burning sensation and some difficulties when swallowing or talking. Patients who underwent Adam's apple removal report that the post op sensation is very similar to a simple sore throat, including a reduction in the ability to speak loudly.

Possible risk and complications:

Complications include permanent change in vocal quality which is the result of too much revision or over dissection of the cartilage that may injure the vocal cords, infection may also occur and hematoma.

Anesthesia use:

Adam's apple removal is done under general anesthesia, with other procedures of facial feminization surgery, or alone.

Hospital admission:

This procedure may be performed in the cosmetic surgeon’s office-based facility, an outpatient surgery center, or at a hospital. This procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis

Preparation before the surgery:

• Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
• Blood and urine samples will be collected for routine preoperative laboratory tests. X-rays may be taken to evaluate the individual's bone structure.
• Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
• You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
• Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.
