Information about the Minimally Invasive Surgery

For this technique the surgeon creates a surgical field and the surgery is performed using small instruments and a high-definition camera to provide magnified images on a monitor.

An inert mesh is used in the affected area to reinfoce the adominal wall without generating tension. The surgery can thus be performed with three incisions of 3 to 5 mm each, and the detailed, magnified images allow the suregon to perform the surgery with great confidence, minimizing complications.

How is the surgery performed?

On the Day of Surgery:

Typically, the patient is admitted to the hospital during the morning and after the surgery, the patient stays under supervision in the recovery room until he/she is fully awake. After a variable period of observation, the patient is discharged on the day of the surgery or the following day.

After the Surgery:

You will be able to perform normal activities having to avoid big efforts. Physical activities can be resumed within 15 to 20 days after the surgery.

Benefits of this type of surgery:

Less pain: Faster healing time and less pain.

Maximum comfort: quicker return to normal activities.

Aesthetic: Less noticeable scars (2 to 4 mm).

Shorter Hospital Stay: Hospital discharge within 12 to 36 hours.

Procedures performed using the minimally invasive technique:

General Surgery: Inguinal Hernia, Vesicle, Appendix, Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease, Small and Large Intestine Diseases, and so on.

Endocrine Surgery: Thyroid, Parathyroid, and Suprarenal Glands, and so on.

Other Specialties: Gynecology, Urology, Traumatology, and so on.

Mini Invasive surgeries are performed by Doctor Norman Jalil and Doctor Juan Sanchez Pulgar

Post-divorce surgery on the rise

Considering plastic surgery after your divorce? You’re not alone. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 12.1 million people had plastic surgery in 2008 alone.

For many patients, a divorce or other dramatic life change was a motivating factor in their decisions to receive treatment. More than 40 percent of women in a national survey conducted by the National Women’s Health Resource Center sought to improve their physical appearance after a divorce or other significant life transition.

“Potential patients typically fall into one of two categories. “There are people who have always been unsatisfied with their appearance – these people have rhinoplasties (nasal surgery) for large noses, chin implants for small chins, and ear setbacks for protruding ears,”. “And then there are those people who were happy with their appearance when they were young but are disturbed by the changes of aging. These people might have facelifts or eyelid lifts, and also abdominoplasties (tummy tucks) and breast lifts.”

A guy thing, too

Women are not the only ones receiving plastic surgery, however. “Plastic surgery among men is getting more and more popular. It’s become more acceptable for men to be concerned about appearance,”. Men, who comprised nine percent of all patients in 2008, most often receive nose reshaping, eyelid surgery and liposuction, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

In addition to improving physical appearance, plastic surgery can also alter a patient’s self esteem and outlook on life. “Plastic surgery can improve how a person looks and feels about themselves,”. “I have seen patients at all times of their lives – not just (after) divorce – who become more confident and feel better.”

Tummy Tucks for Men?

Women aren’t the only ones who care about their bodies. Though men are less open about it they, too, want to look and feel their best. Most men develop loose skin after a significant weight loss or gastric bypass surgery. Aging, too, can cause the skin to lose its elasticity, and result in sagging skin.

Tummy tuck surgery, formally known as abdominoplasty, can be performed as a full, partial or extended abdominoplasty. The closer you are to your ideal weight, the better results you can expect.

A full tummy tuck involves incisions from the pubic area up to each hip, and vertically to, and around the belly button. The skin flaps are separated from the muscle, and then the muscle connective tissue is sutured to bring it closer together, flattening and tightening the muscles. Liposuction may be done at this point if there is excess fat. The skin flaps are then pulled snugly to fit the abdomen, trimmed to fit around the navel and to remove excess skin, and sutured. Lastly, drains are placed to reduce fluid buildup, and will remain in place for a few weeks, until swelling goes down and healing is nearly complete. Surgery can take up to five hours, and is done under general anesthesia.

Partial tummy tuck is similar to its full counterpart, but involves only the abdominal area below the level of the navel. The incision above the pubic bone is shorter, not extending all the way to the hip, and there is no need for the vertical incision, as the skin above the navel will not be displaced. The procedure is similar-liposuction may be done if there is excessive fat, and the lower abdominal muscles tightened by suturing. The skin is pulled down and trimmed off, then sutured closed. Drains are needed to reduce fluid buildup, which remain in place until swelling begins to resolve. Surgery takes about two hours, and is done, usually, under general anesthesia. ASPS has animated both procedures to give you a better understanding.

An extended tummy tuck reaches beyond the abdomen to the sides, above the hip, to remove those precious love handles. The incision extends beyond the hip, and an additional procedure, liposuction, can be done to remove excess fat. Aside from including an area that extends to the sides of the abdomen, the procedure is not much different from a full-abdominoplasty.
