Features of preparation for surgery
Proper preparation for an intervention allows surgeons and anesthesiologists to ensure maximum patient safety during surgery.
In addition, depending on the characteristics of the patient’s health, his age and the nature of the upcoming operation, he is additionally assigned consultations with highly specialized doctors - a pediatrician, phlebologist, therapist, cardiologist, urologist and gynecologist.
Preparation includes:
- Kidney function test These organs play an important role in removing anesthetics from the body. The analysis allows you to clarify the levels of creatinine and urea in the blood.
- Checking your liver condition This organ is also involved in the processing of many medications. Measuring the levels of bilirubin and total protein in the blood helps determine its functional status.
- Study of the circulatory system Determining your blood type and Rh factor is critical in case a transfusion is necessary.
- Infectious disease risk assessment Tests for HIV, RW, as well as hepatitis B and C help to exclude and take into account the likelihood of their transmission.
- Clarification of the state of the cardiovascular system An electrocardiogram (ECG) provides information about the functioning of the heart and possible risks to it and blood vessels.
- Lung condition examination Fluorogram helps to identify possible pathologies and diseases of the respiratory system.
General information
Indications
Forehead and brow lift is a surgical procedure designed to correct various defects in the corresponding areas. It is recommended for patients who have the following problems:
- Ptosis of forehead tissues. This is a condition in which the skin begins to sag, forming characteristic “folds” above the eyes, interfering with visual function and giving the face a tired or aging appearance
- Wrinkles on the forehead. With age, as well as due to constant exposure to ultraviolet rays and gravity, deep wrinkles appear on the forehead. If conservative methods (for example, botulinum toxin injections) do not give the desired effect, surgical correction may help
Another indication is noticeable wrinkles in the area of the bridge of the nose. They do not age a person, but they give his face a too stern look.
Contraindications
The procedure is contraindicated in the presence of infectious diseases. This is due to the fact that the presence of an active infectious process in the body increases the risk of complications after surgery and complicates the healing process. Additional contraindications:
- Disorders of the endocrine system. Hormone imbalance negatively affects the healing process and the quality of the result
- Cardiovascular diseases and hypertension. Patients with heart problems or high blood pressure should be especially careful, as surgery poses additional risks for them
To avoid dangerous complications, you should consult with your doctor before deciding to undergo a surgical procedure.
Basic intervention methods
Endoscopic brow and forehead lifting is considered a classic method of combating age-related changes. There are two varieties of this procedure:
- Open forehead lift. This is a rather traumatic method that involves an incision in the scalp. The seam after such an operation is invisible and thin, but it is not suitable for men with a tendency to baldness. The time required for such an operation exceeds 1.5 hours
- Endoscopic forehead lift. This is a more modern and less traumatic method. It is carried out through micro-incisions that are practically invisible
The success of the operation largely depends on the experience and professionalism of the surgeon, as well as on his aesthetic perception and understanding of facial harmony.
Risks and consequences
Like any other surgical procedure, eyebrow lifting carries risks. Possible complications after brow lift surgery include:
- Decreased sensitivity of the skin. After surgery, some patients experience severe numbness in the forehead area. Over time, the discomfort disappears on its own
- Nerve damage. This is a serious complication that can affect the sensitivity and motor activity of the face. Against this background, facial expressions change greatly, the face becomes asymmetrical
- Hair problems. In rare cases, temporary or permanent hair loss at the cutting line or disruption of hair growth may occur
- Problems with the seam. If the wound is not properly cared for, infection gets inside
The correct choice of a specialist reduces the likelihood of unwanted effects: with a correctly performed intervention, the risk is 1%.
Rehabilitation
The average duration of rehabilitation is 2-4 weeks. At this time, it is very important to properly care for your stitches. To speed up the healing process, it is recommended to use PRP and enzymes with growth factors.
The memo for patients looks like this:
- Avoid thermal procedures and physical activity for a month
- Sleeping on your back
- Refuse facial massage and hardware procedures
- Exclude contact of the seam with aggressive cosmetics
By following all the doctor’s instructions and choosing the right lifting method, the patient will receive an excellent aesthetic result and maintain a youthful face for many years.
