Top 5 Essential Recovery Tips for Optimal Healing After Liposuction Surgery This Australian Summer

admin@kishnara.com (KISHEN NARA) — Thu, 12 Dec 2024 01:49:49 GMT

Top 5 Essential Recovery Tips for Optimal Healing After Liposuction Surgery in Melbourne This Australian Summer: Here are 5 essential tips to ensure the best ways to recovery following liposuction surgery.

Here are 5 essential tips to ensure the best ways to recovery following liposuction surgery in Melbourne (Many refer to liposuction as fat removing surgery or even fat reduction liposuction surgery. Liposuction surgery may be performed on almost any part of the body involving the face, neck and body. This may involve liposuction to the neck, chin area, breasts for breast reduction surgery, arms, abdomen or tummy region, mons pubis, thighs, legs, buttocks, hips or back). Click here to learn more about the risks of surgery.

Be comfortable with your doctor . What specific type of training have they had in cosmetic surgery? Although this may be a daunting process to ask your surgeon, it is important to establish this at your consultation so that you understand that you receive the best care possible for liposuction surgery. There are very specific instructions given for patients that receive liposuction surgery particularly during the warmer season. It is a misconception that liposuction surgery be it for the chin or neck region, abdomen or tummy region, legs, thighs, inner thighs, outer thighs, mons, back, or arms is associated with a quick, easy and fast recovery . Wrong! It takes time to recover and requires an experienced and trained surgical cosmetic team to manage you.
Hydration. Stay hydrated . Many experience heat exhaustion in Australian summers that are hot and dry. After liposuction surgery, ensure that you have at least a refillable 1L bottle of water in close proximity so drink up. When you have surgery, your body loses fluid. With the added dry element in summer this may compound the situation. Disclaimer: Each individual is different and instructions during recovery vary depending on individual circumstances, genetics and medical conditions.
Move. There is a misconception that you should not move some days after surgery. This is not the case for patients who seek liposuction surgery in Melbourne as there may be a tendency to stay confined at home. If you are at home, you must get up and move around to prevent the risk of developing deep venous thrombosis. What is deep venous thrombosis? Click here to understand more.
Get support and help. There is nothing better than spending time with a close family member or close friend during your recovery phase of liposuction surgery. The best way to maximise your results is when you get the help you need so that things are made easier at home. This is especially true during the hot Melbourne summer. Whether it may be asking your friend to get you some extra drinks from the shop or assisting with personal care, this makes all the difference. Remember, you are a patient, and you need to recover well especially with some assistance.
Heat exhaustion management and symptoms . Understand and anticipate that some people may experience heat exhaustion during the hot summers. Anticipate any possible symptoms such as light headedness, drowsiness, fatigue or simply feeling dry. Your muscles may unexpectedly feel weak or stiff following liposuction surgery. Should you feel any of these symptoms, be quick to take action. If you experience extreme symptoms that you are not comfortable with such as shortness of breath, severe headaches or shortness of breath call 000. Contact your surgeon who performed liposuction surgery and get the best advice available.

The best guide to cosmetic eyelid surgery...not just surgery

Wed, 20 Nov 2024 07:29:50 GMT

What is the process for blepharoplasty?

Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty cosmetic surgery is not just surgery...

A lot of patients have various reasons as to why they seek blepharoplasty. The most common reason is to address excess skin that may potentially cause excess skin appearance just above the eyelashes. At times, this may increase weight over the eyelashes which reduces the ease of opening the eyes. Others, may seek to alter the shape and contour of the eyelids to change its appearance.

What am I required to have prior to surgery? A thorough medical assessment is required prior to the surgery. Some patients may have undiagnosed medical conditions that would require further clinical assessments by their respective specialist general practitioner. Training in cosmetic surgery, helps the doctor to look into these issues without the emphasis solely on surgery.

Having performed a myriad of blepharoplasty procedures helps Dr Nara understand that each patient is unique and different. This is why the consultation is extensive to explore as many aspects of the eyelids as possible. The motivation of the patient and the support available to them after surgery has a significant impact during the recovery process. Our team, enjoys understanding each patient slowly and carefully in order to address the process before but also after surgery.

The eyelids are a sensitive area especially being in close proximity to the eyes. Extra care is required during the cosmetic journey in order to reduce the risks of surgery. All surgery carriers its' inherent risks and complications. Each patient is different where outcomes or complications may vary depending on individual circumstances, medical conditions, and genetics. To learn more about the risks of surgery click here.

So how does Dr Nara determine how much of excess skin is required to be removed or what height of the upper eyelids are required? Understanding this comes through years of experience with patient care and patients of various presentations, backgrounds, genetics and medical conditions. Based on these variables, each patient recovers differently and any outcome shown cannot be generalised to any individual. We all know we are unique and different. There is only one you.

Is it the right time for me to look into this? Everyone has a right to choose. Some patients are ready sooner or later...and some patients may not have surgery. This is perfectly fine since we all have a right to choose and understand what is best for us. Speak to the person you trust be it a family member or close friend to assist you with this. Bring them in for the consultation and see if they too can understand the doctor performing the surgery. Ask questions about the process.

As you can see, it starts to become an informative yet interesting process. However, it should never be hurried. This is why the Medical Board of Australia has introduced a cooling off period for all patients to take time to make an informed decision whether to have surgery or not.

What will I expect after surgery? After surgery, there is a recovery phase. How long does it take to recover? When can I get back to work? Is it painful? When can I start to walk the dog again? These are just a fraction of the questions asked that our team enjoy being part of for all our patients.

What questions should I ask myself prior to looking into eyelid lift surgery?

Am I pushed or forced into this?
Is this the right time for me?
What support do I have?
How do I learn more?
Have I written down 5 questions to ask Dr Nara prior to the eyelid lift surgery consultation?

So eyelid surgery is not just surgery, it is a journey that our team is honoured to part for all our patients who trust in our confidence to manage patients seeking blepharoplasty.

TGA Update on cosmetic injections

Sat, 16 Mar 2024 08:56:24 GMT

Therapeutic Goods Administration on Cosmetic Injection Services update 7th March 2024

As of 7th March 2024, the Therapeutic Goods Administration have released specific guidelines on cosmetic injection services as below "cosmetic injection services". As per all of Dr Nara consultations including non-surgical cosmetic treatments, all of our patients are assessed carefully for the purposes of protecting patient safety and raising standards of cosmetic treatments in line with the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery and Medicine.

Cosmetic injection services

Cosmetic injections are generally administered to temporarily remove/reduce wrinkles and lines on the face, around the eyes, forehead (anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers), lips and neck (dermal fillers only), or to improve the appearance of submental fat (deoxycholic acid).

Most cosmetic injectables contain substances that are in Schedule 4 to the Poisons Standard and cannot be advertised to the public.

Either directly or indirectly, you cannot make any reference in your advertisement for cosmetic injection services to prescription-only substances or to product trade names of such products. This includes acronyms, nicknames, abbreviations and hashtags, which may be taken by a consumer as a reference to a specific prescription-only medicine or substance.
This includes:

anti-wrinkle injections
dermal fillers
injectable products used for improvement of the appearance of submental fat.

This does not apply to cosmetic injectables that do not contain any prescription-only substances.

Prescription-only medicines are high risk products and patients should be assessed by a health professional before their use. Health professionals and cosmetic or beauty clinics are not permitted to advertise cosmetic injections that contain prescription-only medicines to the public.

It should be clear that the customer is being offered a health-practitioner-led consultation and that, depending on the outcome of the consultation, this may or may not lead to the provision of a prescription.

Information about our cosmetic injection services are found here.

Gynaecomastia or male breast reduction surgery

Fri, 01 Mar 2024 09:42:51 GMT

Years of contemplation about changing the shape of the chest...

So what is gynaecomastia?

Gynaecomastia, or colloquially known as "male breasts" is not just the appearance of prominent breast tissue on the male chest but also important psychological components associated with it. Some men may go through years of looking into the intricacies of gynaecomastia. If you resonate with this, do read on...

Understanding gynaecomastia is important since there are specific medical issues that need to be excluded. Some patients may have Poland syndrome or even Klinefelter syndrome. Therefore, a thorough assessment is required in line with the guidelines set in place by the Medical Board of Australia to keep patients safe especially if you are considering cosmetic surgery for gynaecomastia. There are risks with any surgery and this will be covered in detail at your consultation with Dr Nara. To learn more about the risks of surgery please click here .

What do some patients express at the consultation?

Why do I have " male breasts".
How can I look into changing the appearance of my chest?

Is it painful?
Will people know that I had surgery?
I don't want anyone to know ..

Patients need to be carefully assessed in order to ensure their safety and especially listened to since they may have specific goals with regards to the appearance of their chest. All patients are unique with different requests.

Some cosmetic treatments for gynaecomastia offered by Dr Nara, in addition to a thorough cosmetic and psychological assessment, involve liposuction and fat graft to the chest region to reshape the shape.

Understanding labiaplasty

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 07:21:03 GMT

Years of research and thought about labiaplasty?

Some women considering labioplasty or labiaplasty go through years of thought prior to considering a consultation. This involves going through various issues involving psychological, emotional, cultural, religious, medical and social. It can be very intense! A rollercoaster journey perhaps?

Some patients attend the consultation feeling embarrassed or ashamed thinking they are the only ones considering labiaplasty. This may be because of various historical, cultural or even religious pressures.

Why do some women consider labioplasty? Some may experience symptoms pertaining to the excess skin of the labia presenting as discomfort whilst sitting or especially wearing clothing. Others may experience a dissatisfaction of the appearance of the labia.

It must be understood that surgery does not fix everything and only some goals may be able to be achieved. This is why a safe, proven and thorough consultation with Dr Nara is pertinent to address your goals and discuss the various options available to you. This may involve surgery where the technique, risks, and potential complications are discussed.

A fraction of the concerns or worries of some patients considering labiaplasty are as follows:-

- I am not ready.

- Is the Doctor I am seeing trained and qualified specific to cosmetic surgery and more importantly specific to labiaplasty?

- Am I in safe hands?

- Does the surgeon have my best interest at heart.

- Will the surgeon do my surgery properly?

- Will they just rush through surgery?

- Do I even need surgery?

- Am I doing this for myself?

- What will my mother think?

- What will my sister think?

- What will my friends think?

- What will my boyfriend think?

- What will my husband think?

- How will I discuss this with my family and friends?

- I need to look into other ways to help the labia.

- Are there actually other ways to address the issues of the labia?

- How do I address the excess skin of my labia?

- How do I reduce the excess skin of my labia?

- Will surgery be painful?

- Do I need surgery?

Just breast implants?

Sat, 28 May 2022 07:50:13 GMT

Some insights into breast implants, especially if you are new to it...

Breast implants have been around for some decades now. It was originally designed to improve the look of a woman's silhoutte using round smooth implants through surgery, of course! One of the other reasons is to restore confidence in a person. But there are so many questions that you may want to ask about it even though it has been around for a while, there are tonnes of information on the media and even some of your friends or family may have them. Why is this so? It is because it is normal to be concerned. It is normal to be inquisitive. It is normal to be anxious. After all, you are having surgery on your body, and providing permission for a trusted surgeon to perform your operation in the best and finest way possible!

So who is the best cosmetic surgeon? What is the best implant? What is the best recovery plan? What is the best long term follow-up plan? What about breasfeeding? What about the cost? How about time off work? How about returning to one hand stands after surgery(if at all, this is what you do)? How do I get the best breasts?

Sure, we can even discuss the intricacies of breast implants regarding its inception, projection, width, surface, weight, circumference, durability, longetivity, and the list goes on...but...

"There is something more important than breast implants...that is you!" ...Dr Nara emphasizes this for all his patients. "You are more important than all the above" . Choose a surgeon that understands you. Someone that has taken the time and effort to do so. Certainly, years of experience, qualifications, skill and dexterity matter. But qualifications in what? Is your surgeon formally trained in cosmetic surgery? Dr Nara is a fully qualified surgical fellow of the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery and Medicine. He wanted to undertake this intense fellowship specific to cosmetic surgery and medicine to help him understand patients better as well as to be skilled in cosmetic surgery. Also, to build a strong network across all the fellows from his college.

All cosmetic surgery or cosmetic treatments have its inherent benefits, risks and complications. These can happen to any patient of any surgeon on earth. Why? Because, as long as we are human, we will always be exposed to it.

Some important aspects to consider:-

"Too big to fail " - yes, if you choose an implant that is too big, it is not without potential failure.
"Too much, too soon" - yes, if you have implants that are too big too early on in life, your risks are higher and opens the door to problems.
"Too small, to make a difference" - yes, while this is true, there is a fine balance.

Stay calm...

Don't rush...

Don't worry...

Stay aBreast!...

Having understood the above, breast implants have its merits! Restoration of the volume of breasts, looking better in clothes and in some cases restoring self-esteem. This is an individual's choice and right! But to inherit these merits, you may want to take enough time to make a good decision and meet a surgeon that is actually interested in your safety and not just performing the surgery.

A Guide to Body and Neck Liposuction. 5 Things to Consider Prior to Liposuction

admin@kishnara.com (KISHEN NARA) — Sun, 15 May 2022 02:16:45 GMT

5 Things to Consider Prior to Liposuction (Liposuction assisted lipectomy).

Cosmetic treatments such as breast implants, breast lift, tummy tuck surgery, buttock lifting and liposuction (liposuction assisted lipectomy) require extensive consultations with Dr Nara to understand the nature, risks and recovery of surgery. The risks of surgery can be read here . The training and experience of Dr Nara and his team being specific to cosmetic surgery will help you to understand your cosmetic goals better in an honest, open and balanced approach.

What are the 5 things important prior to liposuction (liposuction assisted lipectomy)? Let's understand the fundamentals.

It may not work! Yes, something you do not want to hear. Whether you like it or not, sometimes the news is disappointing. Not everyone is suited for this. You need to be medically assessed beforehand. Many patients, whether young or elderly, may have undiagnosed medical problems that they did not even realise they had. Or if you had pre-existing issues, these may need to be re-investigated for the interests of your safety. Therefore, if an individual is medically unfit, this will exclude you from cosmetic surgery. You must be assessed thoroughly by your surgeon and not by anyone else during the consultation process. Dr Nara had a meeting with Dr Satish Kumar the director of the general practice at Cooee on the north west coast of Tasmania this week to discuss the importance of looking after your health through medical optimisation, having realistic expectations, and especially being aware of any medical issues that requires early medical intervention to prevent the severity of illness. Principles of medicine are important particularly to maximise the results of cosmetic medicine and surgery! If you are around the vicinity and would like to optimise your medical wellbeing feel free to drop in at Dr Kumar's clinic by clicking here to book your appointment.

Diet and exercise. This is something we all know too well about. We also hear about this daily. But, there is great truth in this. Did you know if you exercise well, it improves your heart function, blood sugar levels, sleep pattern, weight control, bone density, and mental status? These are just a few benefits to exercising. The diet component is even more important than exercise. If you cannot control what you eat prior to liposuction (liposuction assisted lipectomy) it is best to delay your surgery to a date where you feel you are ready. You must have a stable diet and exercise regime about 6 months before liposuction. If this is not done, you will be left with disappointment because any surgery is not a lifetime fix since we are not objects. We change in time because we are human beings. One powerful tip, is to start drinking an extra glass of water daily and watch the difference in your life! Dr Nara encourages all his patients to have a good healthy lifestyle. Click here to understand more.

Expectations. Your expectations cannot be met by just meeting your surgeon for 10 minutes. You must spend time with the surgeon that is going to do your surgery so that you both understand clearly what your expectations will be. This allows you to understand the training your surgeon had, their respective skill and experience in liposuction. At RevAesthetic, Dr Nara provides an exclusive comprehensive cosmetic consult to understand you better and listen to your concerns. Your appointment will be greater than 45 minutes. In addition, there is a second complimentary consult prior to your surgery.

Dual effect. Basically, it can be fun! Prior to surgery, if you have a partner, family member, or friend, it is helpful to try and get them involved! How so? They too can be invited to improve their diet, exercise and lifestyle. This has to be done ethically and carefully so as not to force your partner into extremes of diet and exercise. This may stir them away from healthy living. You can suggest some ideas and special tips about how to generate a dual workforce with a gentle approach to improve your lifestyles simultaneously. Did you know thay Dr Nara has many patients who have partners that join in to improve their lifestyle? Did you also know, that when this happens, it will improve your chances of maintaining your weight and healthy habits. One easy way to start is to increase the intake of green leafy healthy yummy vegetables in your diet! For more information and especially tips on how to get your partner or friend involved with healthy lifestyle strategies (synching schedules, planning groceries, making suggestions, etc) simply click here.

Ask questions! Dr Nara wants all his patients to ask good questions prior to any cosmetic treatment especially liposuction (liposuction assisted lipectomy). Most patients that come to see us have an idea as to what they want to achieve. Some patients may decide to have non-surgical treatments to alter the shape and contour of their body. This is possible, however, in some cases the best results may be achieved through tailored liposuction. Our amazing patients sometimes, need to be guided as to what options would best suit them which then allows them to ask even more questions. This is why the cosmetic consultation process cannot be ignored.

Cosmetic enquiries, assessments and consultations

Sat, 14 May 2022 11:41:02 GMT

Cosmetic enquiries, assessments and consultations.

Is it a hassle to receive all our enquiries? No! We take pride in ensuring privacy and confidentiality for all our cosmetic patients. Dr Kishen Nara is humbled and honoured to have consulted many cosmetic patients and especially to have performed cosmetic surgery on his existing patients. It is a priviledge and more importantly a dedicated responsibility to understand patients from their perspective. We are honoured to have our patients who trust us to provide excellent cosmetic treatment services delivering great results.

Most patients are nervous and anxious upon making the call, sending an email or booking an appointment. This is normal because elective cosmetic surgery does not exist in public hospitals. Most patients are new to cosmetic surgery and it can be extremely daunting to make an enquiry.

Who are we? We are experienced, skilled, qualified, trained and more importantly enjoy delivering premium qualities of care for our cosmetic patients. We are able to do so because of the vested interest in the art of aesthetic surgery and what goes beyond this is the respective psychology of our patients. We want to ensure that all our patients are safe and understand the implications of any cosmetic intervention prior to embarking on it.

Our longstanding experience with maintaining excellent rapport with patients allows us to welcome your enquiries with a warm and professional approach. Not only is the experience important, but also the follow-up care.

We provide a bespoke comprehensive cosmetic service for our exclusive cosmetic patients where we dedicate quality and an unrushed experience.

If you are ever concerned , you are always welcome to bring a friend or family member for your comfort. We always enjoy meeting the people around you as this ensures you receive good support and advice at the time of your consultation.

Cosmetic Surgery Imaging Preparation and Follow-up care

Thu, 16 Dec 2021 12:52:54 GMT

Cosmetic Imaging behind the scenes..

Have you ever wondered who will do your imaging scans where indicated before and after surgery in Tasmania?

At RevAesthetic, we ensure that our patients receive the best imaging follow-up care. We communicate directly with specialised staff who are personable, caring and respectful to patients. As a patient, you are our utmost priority and in order to deliver excellent care we communicate directly with staff at imaging departments to better understand your cosmetic assessment.

RevAesthetic has collaborated with Imaging Plus so that patients receive excellent imaging care in a relaxed, bright and safe environment. Patients will realise that bookings are made efficiently, parking is easy and above all they will experience high quality air purities being not too distant from Cape Grim. Dr. Nara has thorough clinical imaging meetings with Mr Jarrod French, who is also the director of Imaging Plus in Tasmania. Patients who are in preparation for cosmetic surgery such as breast augmentation with implants or fat graft, breast lift surgery, or tummy tuck surgery may have imaging done depending on the clinical assessment. Patients that require long term follow-up will also benefit from non-invasive imaging scans that have no radiation to soft tissues.

But why go through the hassle of further tests before and after surgery? Imaging will be beneficial to ensure safety and more precision during surgery. It assists doctors and surgeons to understand patients better and it is a significant arm of management for cosmetic patients. The best results for cosmetic surgery such as with breast implants, liposculpture or abdominoplasty comes from with a constellation of elements involving time, quality care service and especially imaging when required to aid clinical care. It gives us important information, where needed, so that we can advise you more accurately regarding return to activities and work.

There is a lot of work behind the scenes...but this is what we do and what we simply enjoy!

Visit Imaging Plus here for directions and further information.

My body, my choice

Thu, 16 Dec 2021 06:55:32 GMT

Where do I start with breast implants? Alexia, busy mother of one, is a glamour patient that was willing to share her journey with us.

So many questions before breast augmentation. Do I need this surgery? I have thought about this for so long and want the best breasts. Who do I choose? How do I know this is the right doctor or surgeon for me? How will I be managed afterwards? Can I breastfeed after surgery?

Do these questions resonate with your thoughts? It is imperative to choose a doctor and surgeon who has specific training in cosmetic medicine and surgery to perform your surgery. It is also important to choose someone who has substantial experience in medicine and surgery. Ask them how many years have they had training in cosmetic surgery? Have they spent time to do cosmetic research as this reflects on a doctor's interest in cosmetic patients.

At RevAesthetic in Tasmania and Melbourne, Dr Nara will listen to your concerns, goals and match this with realistic expectations. He will then provide you with safe treatment options. Dr Nara enjoys consulting his patients together with their family and friends as this is his passion and interest.

Believe it or not a lot of studies had been done in the past about breastfeeding after breast implants. Dr Nara will be delighted to share this research with you at the consult. Did you know..Dr Nara used to be an educator with regards to the basic aspects surrounding breastfeeding in Melbourne?.

Dr Nara has 5 gold tips for you that some patients wish they knew about before their consult:-

1) Blog on a piece of paper and pen now. Write down 3 issues that concern you about your breasts, 3 specific goals you want to achieve and 3

things that you understand about the surgery.

2) Bring a fitted shirt to the consult.

3) Bring a friend, partner, family member or a trusted person to the consult if possible. Our lovely secretary will be more than glad to chaperone for you if at all you would like her to be there.

4) Breath . Relax and be yourself at the consult.

5) Bring out the beauty in you... bada bing bada boom! Conservative means are always beautiful too!
