INJECTION LIPOLYSIS
INJECTION LIPOLYSIS
Purpose: To reduce fatty deposits in particular areas of the body.


In this technique which was developed in 1995, a substance phosphatidylcholine ( PPT ) is directly injected into the undesired fat deposits. This melts the fat deposits, which is then eliminated by the body. PPT has been used intravenoulsy for the prevention and treatment of blood vessel blockages by fat particles ( fat embolism ).

Lipolysis is not a method of weight reduction and is not meant for people who are grossly obese. This technique is useful for effectively reducing fat deposits which are resistant to diet and exercise.

Areas of the body in which this treatment may be used are double chin, fat on the thighs, belly and upper arms. This also achieves good results on cellulite.

The number of treatments differs from person to person, depending upon body region and body size. On an average 4 to 6 sessions at 6 to 8 weekly intervals may be required for completion of treatment. Lipolysis is meant for small areas of fat deposit, and liposuction would be a preferred method for larger areas. Your surgeon will be able to guide you.

Most patients develop an inflammatory reaction with itching, burning, redness, swelling and muscular aches but this resolves with time and pain killers.

Lipolysis as a cosmetic procedure has been used for over a decade and has proved to be safe and effective. Though it is not licensed as a cosmetic procedure ( similar to botox ) it is widely used all over the world.

Like all other medical procedure, it should be done by a trained cosmetic surgeon who would be able to provide further information and counselling.

Cosmetic Surgery is a new superspecialty of body shaping, sculpturing individual body parts to enhance beauty, figure and looks. But, the need and concept to beautify oneself is time immemorial. Uses of flowers, leaves, plant twigs were used in early stages of human civilization. Use of stones and animal bones are well known. Ivory products are known to enjoy high position and preferential status in society from olden times. Even today some cultures still use ivory and stone ornaments. Uses of pearls are well known. Now-a-days jewelry made of silver, Gold, Diamond, Platinum and precious stones are preferred choices of elite classes.
Use of various cosmetics to enhance beauty is in practice for almost all body parts, namely, lips, eyebrows, eyelashes, forehead, full face, hairs and nails of hand and feet. Use of pricks and studs in ears, nose, umbilicus and many many more parts, may be difficult to imagine their utility by some persons, but, are the need of many.
Need to look better than others and to stay young with youthful appearance have kept the mankind in race to search better and newer options. One such practice is COSMETIC SURGERY. Number of people accepting cosmetic surgery as the final answer to their requirements is increasing every day. The fact that total cosmetic surgery procedures done world wide every year outnumbers the sum total of all other surgeries put together is enough recognition.
Let us try to understand why one will need to go for cosmetic surgery. Clothing, ornaments and use of cosmetics can give feeling of betterment to those bodies that are basically in shape and figure. Faces with wrinkled skin, crooked nose, bulky and fatty belly cannot and will not look better with the use of non surgical means listed above. Media has played a vital role in spreading message of the significance, value and importance of human appearance. Wisdom prevailing in individuals takes them to the doors of cosmetic Surgeon for the definitive corrections.
Other class of persons who are not happy with the given shape, size or profile of one or more body parts suffer from ‘complex’ in their minds. These fail to perform efficiently. Cosmetic surgery comes to their rescue to transform their lives.
In every one’s life, time comes when they look for an ideal life partner. No one is ready to compromise on any thing less than the best. Education and status are important and are adequately matched. Verdict on appearance and presentable personality is final. When a boy is rejected on the ground that his nose was not of right shape or girl refused for thick lips or flat chest, imagine the magnitude of suffering which gloom in their head. After two or three such failures, hidden dejection comes to surface; it shows its presence on every one in family, thus attaining the picture of a social problem. Importance of Cosmetic Surgery as necessity is not better understood by any one else than such sufferers sailing in the same boat.
Similar situation arises when all suitable educated well trained and competent people queue-up for a job. Selection of most beautiful candidate leaves behind rest with small faces, depressed and dejected lot. Those who have faced such agony can only appreciate the plight of such defeated lot. Their feeling is that of ‘defeated from one self own’. Since they do not want to lag behind any one, their answer is in getting themselves improved, or enhanced or beautify themselves with the help of a competent, qualified, experienced, certified and recognized cosmetic surgeon. He restores their confidence and brings them to fore, second to none.
Few happily married people also come for cosmetic surgery. These are who do not want to see any short coming in their partner. Their submission is, if we can correct the needful shape and size of the breast or any other part, why not to do it. Wisdom which prevails in their mind is not to compromise and their counterpart has to look in perfect shape.
Remember, a lady who kept her shape and figure with utmost care, regular exercising, very judicious control on diet and intakes gets her family with cute little babies, but, lost her figure and shape while she is not even 30. Whole of the life is in front and now no charm in wearing choicey outfits, accepting the glare of watching people as if she is middle aged woman. She has right to live her life the way she wants. She wants to be in shape. She joins yoga classes and many more promising institutions wasting lots of her precious time and hard earned money – with no result outcome. Their looseness on tummy is still there, flanks are full and shaped as folds, breast sagging, face pigmentations, glow and charm on face is lost. Much needed enjoyment between the partners is missing. Noticeable change in attitude of husband is disturbing. To go for cosmetic surgery becomes an imperative need.
It is imperative that your dress code and activities should be in accordance with the prevailing rules of society. You should be ‘In Fashion’. To be a part of beach culture, pubs and parties, you need to dress up with ‘in fashion’ outfits; really showing most of the curves and delicately shaped attractive body. You wish to be ‘In focus’ and admired by others. An experienced cosmetic surgeon will quickly get your point, how so ever small it may be. Sculpturing your body to your need is an art. Perfect execution of which classifies cosmetic surgeons as ‘Good’ or ‘Average’. Uncompromisingly, desire to stay on top, drives you to the cosmetic surgeon, who will show his ability and technical skills of art and science sculpturing and crafting your delicate body.
Quite good number of middle aged patients comes for cosmetic surgery because the teenagers want their parents to look young and smart. Particularly, when younger one wants their friends or would be partners meet their mom and dad. They do not want to loose any point. Necessity role of cosmetic surgery comes to play.
Divorced persons before starting hunt for new partners addresses themselves to know what has gone wrong with their body now. With the help of a cosmetic surgeon they get corrections what they need. Most common are liposuctions, tummy tuck, breast uplifting, sizing and shaping, facial cosmetic surgery, peels and vaginoplasty-size and shape corrections.
Database of the patients coming for cosmetic surgery are stating that male to female ratio is almost equal. Almost all age groups are represented as patients. Need for cosmetic surgery is almost as equal to lower and middle income group as to upper and affluent classes.
Accidental injuries are part of life. When it comes to injury on face or other visible parts, every one is upset. If patient gets services of a cosmetic surgeon; who helps in avoiding bad prominent scars to minimally visible or almost invisible scars; feels satisfied and happy too.
Struggle for existence and survival of fittest are laws of the nature. Meaning and relevance of these are now better understood with increasing competition. Role of cosmetic surgery is in keeping humans fit in shape and figure, young and youthful - to stay in front.
Gone are the days when people use to say that cosmetic surgery is only for rich people who can afford to enjoy luxury. Scenarios presented above are the every day stories and happenings of most of us. Yet some people shy in admitting its need, while, more and more people are coming forward to obtain solutions of their daily problems.

The setting is that of a hospital. As you walk in you can see the patients sitting, waiting for their turn at the reception. One is an obese, the other has a cut lip, yet another has a deformed nose. A grim and grotesque scene for a casual passerby. As you move further, you can see a doctor giving consultation to a lady who is excessively overweight. "Just three sittings" he says," and you will be fine". Another patient goes in to consult the doctor. A young man has multiple scars on his face.They have a small discussion. The doctor assures him of wiping out these scars completely. He comes out of his office. Suddenly, a man comes forward and gives him a tight hug. There were tears of happiness in his eyes. His sister's face was burnt and scarred in half. This doctor had restored her face and had given her a fresh lease of life. Tomorrow his sister was getting married. He held in his hand an invitation for the doctor. Surprises are a part and parcel of this hospital. These are some of the humanistic scenes one is bound to encounter everyday. This is a hospital for Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery.
In today's competitive and fast moving world, one's personality counts a lot in all kinds of situations. Every one has to keep up appearances on many occasions with a variety of important people in everyday life. The extraordinarily huge increase of the private and corporate sector has also brought in the trend of better dressing and a well-groomed look. People all over the world have become very conscious about their looks, their weight, their walk and their overall physical appearance. It is not easy for an obese person to look away from the staring eyes of the people. Nor is it easy for a person to hide a scar of an accident. It is life sentence for a girl who cannot marry because her face bears White marks. These small handicaps can tarnish one's career while on a high profile job. Now, there is a way out for every person who wants to live his/her life on his/her own terms. The relief comes in the form of Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery, which has restored millions of lives all over the world. Along with the womenfolk, these procedures are also very popular among men all around the world.
The term Plastic Surgery actually means to mold or to give form. It is an effective tool to rectify functional and structural deformities of the human body.
Reconstructive surgical procedures are carried out with the goal of restoring form and in many cases function of body parts that are deformed due to injury, disease, or congenital defects. The primary consideration here is the fact that the procedure is carried out on abnormal parts or tissues in an attempt to restore it to a more normal appearance and to improve function. For example, removal of skin cancers, repair of cleft lips and palates, improving upon private parts etc.
On the other hand, Cosmetic procedures are operations done purely to enhance the appearance of body parts, which fall within the normal range of appearance and function. Cosmetic surgery deals with the beautification of different parts of the body. For instance, a person can have a bad looking nose, a beautiful young girl is unhappy by the size of her breast, some extra deposits of fat have taken away the attractive figure of a young mother, lines of ageing clearly seen on once face and lot more. These can be easily corrected through a small cosmetic surgery operation.

Cosmetic Surgery incorporates various procedures, which give a better look to our overall appearance. Some such procedures are Face Lift, Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery), Rhinoplasty (Nose job), Breast reconstruction, augmentation and reduction, Liposuction, Lipoinjection etc.
A Facelift is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the visible signs of aging such as creases in the face, slackness in the jaw line and accumulation of fat around the neck. This procedure gives the patient a visibly younger looking face by removing the signs of aging. Most patients who consider facelifts are in there 40s and 60s but it can be successfully performed on people in there 70s as well. Similarly, there is a procedure called Blepharoplasty that is simply known as an Eyelid surgery. It is a procedure to remove fat, and sometimes excess skin and muscle, from the upper and lower eyelids. It is simply used to remedy the sagging skin and weakened muscles that occur around the eyes over the time and can make a prospective person look older and tired. After just a few weeks of this procedure the patient gets a very youthful and alert look.
One of the most popular Cosmetic surgeries all over the world is Breast Augmentation and Reduction. These are basically two procedures, which have brought welcome relief to women all over the world who want to give a shapelier look to the upper part of their bodies. Breast augmentation and reduction are procedures, which are performed to balance a difference in breast size and improve the body contour. In the same way, the Chemical Peel technique is also helping a large number of women around the world. It is a non-invasive technique that is designed to restore wrinkled, blemished, unevenly pigmented or sun -damaged facial skin. Using a chemical solution, the skin's top layers are peeled away, allowing for new cells to grow that produce a smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin surface. This procedure is also very popular among men.
A very important and successful cosmetic procedure is Liposuction. This is a cosmetic surgery operation to correct figure and shape the body permanently. All over the world people are becoming very conscious about their extra fat and weight. Today, they have realised the negative aspects of overweight and are making efforts to bring down their extra body weight. But inspite of all this there are some regions of the body, which remain fatty and don't come to an acceptable shape. Liposuction is a procedure to remove unwanted fat deposits from specific areas of the body such as the face, abdomen, buttocks, thighs and elsewhere. Fat is sucked out along with fat cells; hence, give permanent results of correcting figure.
Another significant procedure which is the very opposite of Liposuction is called Lipoinjection. This is the procedure through which fat is put into various parts of the body to give it a more rounded and firm look like cheeks, breasts, neck etc. This procedure is especially popular among persons who are very thin and want a shapelier look to them.
Another popular technique is the procedure of Hair transplant. This procedure is currently in vogue among all kinds of persons, especially middle-aged men, in a number of countries. The surgery of the nose or Rhinoplasty is another technique by which the shape of the nose is greatly improved to near perfection. Commenting on this procedure Dr. Singh says, "A Cosmetic surgeon ought to have a good aesthetic sense for a nose job. The patients can present their needs but it remains upon the surgeon to decide which shape would suit a certain face properly. The surgeon should be absolutely honest about this procedure to the patient." In the similar way, Otoplasty or ear surgery restores the size of the ears to normal and also brings prominent ears closer to the head.
Stigma of white patch needs special mention. According to doctors a stationary white patch is not a disease, it is only a cosmetic defect in skin due to non functioning of colour producing cells. But, a person having such white spots has to face rough and discriminating attitude of the society. He/she has to suffer always in spite of their all merits. Cosmetic surgery can alleviate this social problem by transplanting colour cells on the stationary white areas so that normal skin tone is regained. Not only a person, society as a whole is benefited.
There is a general misconception among people all over the world that Cosmetic surgery is a very expensive affair. They are also misguided in their notions that it can be afforded by only the rich and affluent people. Nothing can be farther from the truth. Today, doctors all over the world have realised the increased importance of a good appearance for everybody and it's important role in the daily routine. Due to extensive studies and experiments, they have developed numerous techniques, which have increased the arena of Plastic surgery and Cosmetic Surgerys techniques in a tremendous manner. There has also been a rise of the middle and upper middle class people who have become more conscious about their physical appearance for more success in life. Now, the cosmetic and plastic surgery techniques are available to all classes of people at marginal and cost effective prices all over the world and people have already started making use of it's benefits.
Along with the lower prices, these procedures have also become very safe and reliable in the past decade due to which more and more people are opting for the help of these techniques to their benefit. From India, a Cosmetic and Plastic surgeon who has gained an immense popularity among cosmetic surgeons of the world is Dr. B.P.Singh. It is a general perception among people everywhere that the countries of the West are the sole authorities and experts on the subject of Cosmetic surgery. It is also believed that surgeons in the West have done all the new innovations in this field. But this perception has been proved wrong by Dr. B.P.Singh who is running the International Center for Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery at 261,Mota Singh Nagar in Jalandhar, Punjab. He is the only Indian surgeon and the only one from South East Asia to have been invited to World Congress on Cosmetic Surgery at Sydney, Australia, in the year 2001, which was attended by surgeons from 70 countries. His patients consist of NRIs from UK,US, Canada, European and the Gulf countries. His improved techniques of Liposuction and Lipoinjection have brought a revolution among cosmetic surgery. Infact, he has won two prestigious International awards viz., 'World Leader of Cosmetic Surgery' and 'Best Scientific Presentation Award' for his outstanding contribution in the field of Cosmetic Surgery. Today, his techniques are being used by Plastic surgeons all over the world. The new Lipoinjection technique as perfected by him has been named after him as 'Singh's Lipo Injection Technique'.
In the earlier procedure of Liposuction, only 3 liters of body fat could be removed in one sitting. Moreover the time gap kept in between each sitting was of three months. This led to an anguished wait for the patients. Due to his extensive studies and research, Dr. B.P.Singh was able to lessen the time gap in between each sitting and also devised a technique by which 6 liters of fat could be taken out in one sitting itself. In case of Lipoinjection, the old procedure could inject only 2 to 5 c.c of fat at one time. Due to the small amount injected, the benefits of this process could not bring any visible change. Today, with 'Singh's Lipo Injection Technique' about 50 c.c or even more fat can be injected in one sitting itself. This procedure brings noticeable difference and is very durable.
It took a period of seven years for Dr. Singh to develop these techniques before he presented two original papers on Liposuction and Lipoinjection in the Congress of the International Confederation for Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery in San Francisco, California, USA in the year 1999. His techniques of Liposuction and Lipoinjection were accepted and applauded in the World Congress on Cosmetic Surgery at Sydney, Australia, in the year 2001. Infact, he is the only surgeon from South East Asia whose improved techniques have been accepted worldwide.
From being a taboo subject for the past half a century, Plastic and Cosmetic surgical techniques have received a well-deserved facelift in the last two decades. People around the world are slowly understanding the immense changes that these techniques could bring in one's life. Now the people who have any physical deformity need not spend their entire lives keeping a low profile behind closed doors. With the help of Plastic and Cosmetic surgery everybody can gain the much needed confident and smart look to live one's life to the brim. ****

Recovery after Inguinal Hernia Surgery

Inguinal Hernia Surgery is sore! Don't believe anything different! Most patients will be comfortable for the first evening after surgery because we use a long acting local anaesthetic to control post-operative pain. As this wears off you will find the area becomes more uncomfortable. Discomfort is easy to control with oral analgesia which will be prescribed for you at the time of you operation.

You may experience a minor degree of swelling around the operation site, and often some minor bruising.

You will not be covered to drive your car by your insurance company for 48 hours following a general anaesthetic.

You can drive when you feel confident that you can safely perform an "emergency stop". This is usually between 7 and 10 days.

You can return to work when you feel able to. This may be in as little as 5 days but often is longer at 14 to 21 days.

You should not lift anything heavy following your repair for at least 6 weeks. This doesn't mean you can't lift anything, you just need to exercise a degree of common sense!

Recovery after Epigastric and Umbilical Hernia Repair

Most patients will recover very quickly from these operations. Discomfort is easily controlled with oral analgesia and the majority of patients should be able to return to work within the week following surgery. Driving is not usually a problem with this repair. However, if you hernia is big enough to require a mesh, then you may find your recovery is slightly longer.
