Trachea Shave 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 shave) 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.
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.

Tummy Tuck

Tummy tuck (appropriately known as abdominoplasty), is a major surgical procedure that gets rid of excess fat and skin, tightening muscles in your abdominal wall and designed to flatten the abdomen.

The best candidates for this procedure are physically fit and healthy individuals who suffer from loose skin and excess fats in the lower portion of the abdomen which is typically the result of single or multiple pregnancies in women whose abdominal tone were lost after pregnancy or considerable weight loss and age related looseness of skin may also be corrected.

It usually requires a long incision across the abdomen from hip bone to hip bone and around the belly button. The shape of the incision is like a smile, with a flat bottom. The skin is separated from the abdominal wall, up to the ribs, exposing the vertical abdominal muscles (rectus muscles). These muscles have usually been stretched apart by previous pregnancies. The rectus muscles are then stitched into a new position, tightening the muscles and reducing the waistline. After the muscles have been repositioned and tightened, the excess skin is stretched and removed.The remaining skin is redraped over the abdominal area and sutured in place. The belly button is then brought out through the overlying skin in its new location.

Duration of the operation:

The procedure will take about 2-5 hours. A partial tummy tuck may take about 1-2hours.

Post operative care:

Patients are required to take a rest for about 1-3 weeks before returning to work and a normal schedule.
A day after the surgery, patient must have light to moderate physical activities.
Some incision will be left open and drainage is inserted.
Patients can start light to moderate activity after four weeks. After six to eight weeks, most people can resume all exercise and activity.
Patient will be given pain medication as needed. This typically entails narcotics for the first few days after surgery and then non-narcotic pain relievers after that.
The abdomen is swollen and sore for the first few days.
The abdominal scars will appear to worsen during the first three to six months. They may take nine months before they flatten and lighten in color. The scars never disappear completely, but clothing can hide them easily.

Recovery period:

You may be able to go back to work after 2-4 weeks. More strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks or more. Fading and flattening of scars for 3 months to 2 years.

Possible risk and complications:

These potential complications can be prevented if you carefully follow surgeon's instructions. Listed below are the potential complications:

· Anesthetic medications

Tissue loss
Infection
Collection of blood beneath the skin (hematoma)
Collection of fluid under the skin (seroma)
Blood clot to the lungs
Aspiration pneumonia
Bleeding under the skin flap
Insufficient healing that may result in the need for a second surgery
Death
Unfavorable scarring
Poor wound healing

Anesthesia use:

Abdominoplasty is often performed with general anesthesia and can also be done using a local anesthetic with a sedative.

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 for 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.
If general anesthesia or sedation will be used, and the surgery will be in the morning, fasting from midnight the night before is required. If only local anesthesia will be used, fasting is not required
Maintain the best of health and hygiene in the weeks prior to surgery. Colds, virus, throat infection or other illness can result to rescheduling of surgery.
Eat a well balance diet several weeks prior to surgery. Over eating and crash dieting can greatly affect overall health status and well being of the patient
Daily exercises are an important factor to help enhance posture and strength at least 3-4 weeks prior to surgery.

Lipofilling

Lipofilling otherwise known as fat transfer, can either be done on its own or in combination with other surgical procedures such as face and neck lift. Done on its own it is possible to perform the procedure under local anesthetic as a day case, but is usually performed under general anesthetic.

Small incisions, less than 1 cm, are made in either the abdomen or inner thigh from where the fat will be harvested. This is done using a low pressure liposuction technique. Small dressings are placed on these wounds and occasionally an absorbable suture is used to close them. The fat that has been harvested from this area is re-injected into the required areas of the face again using tiny 3 – 4 mm. stab incisions which are covered with a Steri-strip sticking plaster.

Duration of the operation:

The operation for lipofilling alone usually takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour.

Post operative care:

You will expect swelling and bruises. These are all normal and should be taken cared of. You will be instructed to take all of your medications on time, keep your treatment are immobile and allow proper healing. This includes no high impact exercise or activities for approximately 2-3 weeks, depending upon the extent of the surgery.

Recovery period:

The area is usually swollen after the treatment and sometimes bruised, a cold pack, i.e. a bag filled with ice can be soothing. The swelling and bluish colour gradually clears up a few days after the treatment. With a reasonable skin concealing cream product, you can disguise any skin discoloration, allowing you to resume your social life more quickly

Possible risk and complications:

The risks for fat grafting are asymmetry, infection, fatty cysts, hematoma, fat embolism, seroma, permanent discoloration from the bruises and others.

Anesthesia used:

Lipostructure takes place under local anaesthesia. Both the donor and recipient zones are treated with an anaesthetic (liquid form) that also prevents bleeding

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 Surgery

The aims and expectations of surgery will have been discussed at consultation. Smokers have a high risk of developing complications, in particular wound healing and re-absorption and it is therefore advised that patients should refrain from smoking at least six weeks prior, and between two to four weeks following surgery.

Aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs should be avoided for at least the week before surgery and a week after surgery to help reduce the amount of bleeding and bruising.

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.
