Body Contouring


Body Contouring : Vaser Liposuction

Vaser Liposuction

VASER is the latest third generation ULTRASONIC liposuction technique that is designed to virtually eliminate bleeding during surgery and to reduce inflammation and bruising. VASER Ultrasound technology  liquefies the fat, which allows for greater precision and vastly superior results.


 Who is Ideal candidate for Vaser Liposuction?
All candidates for liposuction should have realistic expectations of the results that can be achieved through the procedure and should be in good physical and mental health. The best candidate is someone who is in excellent health, is within 25 pounds of his or her ideal body weight, and has deposits of fat that have not responded to diet or exercise.

At the consultation:
You should express your desires and expectations from the surgical procedures. The surgeon will evaluate your medical health and explain the surgical techniques available to you. Your question will be answered as thoroughly as possible.  Examinations of your trouble are will be performed. The surgeon will go over the risks and potential complications of the procedure, as well as, the pre-operative and post –operative process.


Risk Factors: 
All surgeries carry some risks. Listed below are the risks or potential complications:

The risks of VASER liposuction are very similar to the liposuction risks associated with any other method. However, because LipoSelection minimizes damage to other body tissues, patients typically experience less pain and fewer side effects than with other forms of liposuction. Serious liposuction complications are quite rare. Fat clots or blood clots may form, and there is a chance these will migrate to the lungs and cause serious illness. The fluid loss that results from liposuction will be anticipated by a qualified doctor, as it can cause low blood pressure, friction burns, or fluid buildup. The LipoSelection probe’s ultrasound energy may injure the skin or deeper tissues; although in most cases the benefits of the ultrasound system make it safer than traditional liposuction. If a doctor inexperienced with the LipoSelection procedure applies too much fluid, the wetting solution may collect in the lungs. If there is too much lidocaine in the liposuction solution, lidocaine toxicity may develop.

Body Contouring : Tummy Tuck

Tummy Tuck

Surgery Overview:

Tummy tuck is also 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 re-positioned and tightened, the excess skin is stretched and removed. The remaining skin is re-draped over the abdominal area and sutured in place. The belly button is then brought out through the overlying skin in its new location.

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

Care after surgery:
  1. Patients are required to take a rest for about 1-3 weeks before returning to work and a normal schedule.
  2. A day after the surgery, patient must have light to moderate physical activities.
  3. Some incision will be left open and drainage is inserted.
  4. Patients can start light to moderate activity after four weeks. After six to eight weeks, most people can resume all exercise and activity.
  5. 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.
  6. The abdomen is swollen and sore for the first few days.
  7. 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.

Results:
We guarantee quality service and satisfying results of the operation but in cases of surgical corrections, patient can assure a free of charge revision. Please see before and after photos of Dr. Tanongsak patients in the Photo Gallery (photographs showed are with patient’s consent).

Risks 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

Types of anesthesia use:
Tummy tuck 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

Body Contouring : Buttocks Augmentation

Buttocks Augmentation

Surgery Overview:

Buttocks Augmentation is a plastic  surgical procedure that uses buttock implants to increase the size and reshape the appearance of the buttocks.  Incision may be made in any one of the following places: where the cheek meets the back of the thigh, or down the buttock crease. The incision is usually made in the buttock crease, where scars are not noticeable. The surgeon then creates a pocket large enough to insert the butt implants. The implants can be placed either under the gluteus maximus muscle, or on top of the muscle. Sometimes, the surgeon performs liposuction in order to further enhance the shape of the buttocks. After performing the same procedure on the other buttock, the surgeon makes sure the buttocks are symmetrical and look natural. Then he/she stitches up the incisions.

Operation time: 
Buttock augmentation surgery normally lasts between 2 and 4 hours.

Care after surgery:
 You will wear a compression garment over the buttocks to provide support, which should not be removed for the next few days following surgery. It is important to take the medication prescribed to you by your surgeon to manage discomfort from swelling and bruising. Someone will need to drive you home, and you may need assistance at home over the next couple of days. Expect to be in bed for the next 24 hours following surgery. Refrain from sitting down until the incisions have bonded and early ambulation after the first two days of surgery to promote healing and effective circulation.

Recovery Period:
You’ll experience swelling and bruising in the buttocks for the first 2- 3 days after a gluteal augmentation procedure. Swelling and bruising will gradually disappear for about 1 month. You will need 4 to 6 weeks before full recovery occurs and normal levels of activity can be resumed.

Body Contouring : Arms Lift

Arm Lift

Surgery Overview:

Arm lift,  is also known as brachioplastyit is a type of cosmetic surgery that  reshapes the under portion of the upper arm, from the underarm region to the elbow. Good candidates are those individuals who may have sagging upper arms due to the effects of aging and weight loss.

During the surgical procedures, medications are administered. It includes either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.  Incisions are placed on the inside of the arm or on the back of the arm extending from the axilla (underarm) to the elbow, depending on the location and amount of excess skin to be removed as well as the surgeon’s preference.  Then, tissues are tightened and reshaped with sutures resulting in a smoother and shapely upper arm. The incisions will then be closed with absorbable or non- absorbable stitches.

Operation time:
The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours

Care after surgery:
Following your surgery, you may feel some mild discomfort and the surgeon will prescribe pain medications to alleviate pain. Dressings will be applied to your incisions, and your arms may be wrapped in an elastic bandage or a compression garment to minimize swelling. A small, thin tube may be temporarily placed under the skin to drain any excess blood or fluid that may collect. Swelling peaks two to three days after your arm lift typically disappear within two weeks. Elevating your arm with pillows can help reduce swelling and increase comfort during recovery.
Dressings are typically applied to the incision. Many of the stitches will dissolve, but those that are not self-absorbing are usually removed within a week. Your surgeon may prescribe a compression garment to allow the skin to adhere to underlying tissues.

Recovery period:
You can shower one week after the procedure, and most people can go back to work two to three weeks after the procedure. Your surgeon will likely tell you to avoid any strenuous exercise for one month, and to avoid heavy lifting for at least six weeks. Individual instructions vary.

Results:
We guarantee quality service and satisfying results of the operation but in cases of surgical corrections, patient can assure a free of charge revision. Please see before and after photos of Dr. Tanongsak patients in the Photo Gallery (photographs showed are with patient’s consent).

Risks and complications:
With every medical procedure there is a possibility of complications, which can cause a longer recovery period. Arm lift risks include: Infection, hematoma, anesthesia risks, loss of sensation, scarring, swelling of the hands, Seromas (fluid filled masses along the incision line).

Types of anesthesia use:
The procedure uses general anesthesia or sedation

Hospital admission:
It depends on your preferences as well as your surgeon’s. Arm lift can be performed on an out patient basis, in the hospital, or in an ambulatory surgical suite.

Body Contouring : Liposuction

Liposuction

Surgery Overview:

Liposuction,  is also known as lipoplastyliposculpture suction lipectomy or simply lipo ("suction-assisted fat removal") is the most common cosmetic surgery  that removes pockets of fats from many different sites on the human body. It can remove stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to traditional weight loss method but remember it is not a substitute for dieting and exercise. It also involves the use of a stainless steel suction tube called a cannula. The cannula is pushed and pulled through the fat layer, breaking up the fat cells and suction them out by a powerful suction pump, thus improving body contour and enhancing self image. Areas of the body where liposuction is performed are: abdomen, hips, outer and inner thighs, flanks, love handles, back, knees, arms, submental (chin), Gynecomastia.

The ideal candidates for liposuction are those who are physically fit, who exercise regularly and are not more than 20 pounds overweight. They may have bulging and flabby areas of the body from fat deposits, especially the abdomen, arms, thighs, and neck. Individuals with certain medical conditions may not be suitable candidates for liposuction.

In all types of liposuction methods, there are certain things that should be considered when having the surgery. It maybe performed as an outpatient procedure or the procedure that will be done in a hospital and may require an overnight stay.

The procedure is performed using a suction devise attached to a small, stainless steel tube called cannula. Through a small incision, the small bore cannula is inserted into fat layer between skin and muscle by alternately pushing and pulling it through the fat layer then suction it out by the use of a vacuum pump or a large syringe. The duration of the surgery will vary according to the amount of fat to be removed.

Operation time:
The duration of liposuction Thailand depends on the number of areas, the size of the area and the amount of fat to be removed.

Care after surgery:
  1. A compression garment must be worn for two to four weeks.
  2. If patient had liposuction by local anesthesia, he/she may resume usual diet immediately.
  3. Drink adequate amount of water at least 8- 10 glasses a day or fruit juices to prevent dehydration.
  4. Bed rest is recommended for the first few hours after surgery.
  5. If non-absorbable sutures are placed, the surgeon will remove sutures after 5 to 10 days.
  6. Pain killers will be prescribed to control pain that may last as long as 2 weeks depending on the extent of procedure.
  7. Keep incision clean. Take a shower once or twice daily. Wound dressings need to be changed often. After one to three days, small self-adhesive bandages are sufficient.
  8. Do not apply ice-packs or a heating pad to skin overlying the areas treated by liposuction.
  9. Do not apply hydrogen peroxide or plastic Band-Aids to incision sites. Liposuction incision sites heal faster and better without topical antibiotics.
  10. Do not soak in a bath, Jacuzzi, swimming pool, or the ocean for at least 7 days after surgery in order to minimize the risk of infection.
  11. Patient taking Aspirin and Ibuprofen for at least 3 days after surgery. NSAIDs promote increase the risk of bleeding by impairing platelet function and depress immune response to infection.
  12. Drainage is placed for about 3-7 days depending upon the extent of surgery.
  13. Patient must maintain a proper diet and exercise regimen because the remaining fat cells could still enlarge and form cellulite thus creating irregularities.

Recovery period:
Depending on the extent of liposuction, patients are generally able to return to work between 2 days-2 weeks. Bruising will fade after 1-2 weeks. Swelling will occur and increase 5-10 days after surgery and should subside gradually over 2 weeks- 2 months while numbness persists for several weeks.

Results:
We guarantee quality service and satisfying results of the operation but in cases of surgical corrections, patient can assure a free of charge revision. Please see before and after photos of Dr. Tanongsak patients in the Photo Gallery (photographs showed are with patient’s consent).

Risks and complications:
With any type of liposuction procedure, complications may arise beyond the minor side effects but they are rare. Some possible complications include infection, allergic reaction to medication or material used during surgery, excessive fluid loss, thrombo-embolism, injury to the abdominal organs, and excessive loss of body heat (hypothermia), excessive intravenous fluids, aspiration pneumonia and cardiac arrest. It is the surgeon’s responsibility to give the written list of signs and symptoms to watch for, along with instructions for post-op self-care.

Types of anesthesia use:
The procedure uses local or general anesthesia

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 prior to surgery:
1. Patient and the surgeon will agree ahead of time on exactly which area(s) will be treated and both will discuss what outcome to expect. Assessment of the medical history, physical examination and laboratory tests will be performed during the consultation as well as the explanation of the course of surgery, recovery period, risk and complications.
2. 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.
3. Daily exercises are an important factor to help enhance posture and strength at least 3-4 weeks prior to surgery.
4. Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process. Patient must be free of nicotine patch or nicotine based products for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to surgery.
5.  Patient should 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.

Side effects:
· Bruising: Can be painful in the short term, and should fade after a few weeks.
· Swelling: is due to an inflammatory reaction to surgical trauma. This will occur and increase 5 to 10 days after surgery and should subside gradually over a month or two.
· Scars: will vary in size depending on the particular procedure, and should fade over the weeks. Scarring is an individual thing, partly dependent on heredity. For some, scar healing may take as long as a year.
· Pain: should be temporary and controlled by either over-the-counter medication, or by a prescription.
· Numbness: sometimes persists for a few weeks.
· Limited mobility: will depend on the exact procedure.
· Nausea and vomiting: are among the side effects that may be associated with liposuction. Nausea can be caused by antibiotics, lorazepam, or local anesthesia.
· Slight temperature elevation during the first 48 hours after surgery is a natural consequence of the body's reaction to surgical trauma.
· Itching: may occur as part of a normal healing process. To help relieve itching, patient may try taking Benadryl as directed by the doctor.
  • 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 performedduring consultation.

Body Contouring : Buttock Lift

Buttocks Lift

Surgery Overview:

Buttock lift or butt lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that is more concerned with improving the tone and contour of the buttock by removing loose, sagging skin from the buttocks. It can be performed as a solo procedure or as part of the total body lift. The best candidates for buttock lift surgery are individuals who have a saggy appearance in the buttock area due to hormonal changes, extreme weight loss or aging and buttock that appears asymmetrical or lumpy due to burns, wounds or other types of trauma.

It requires short incisions made laterally at the top of the buttocks. After the incisions have been made, excess skin and fat is detached from the underlying muscles. The skin is then reshaped and pulled up to the waist over the muscles and drains are placed beneath the skin to remove excess fluid that may delay wound healing. It will then be closed with stitches which are either absorbable or non-absorbable.

Operation:
Buttock lift surgery usually takes between 3-6 hours

Care after surgery:
After the surgery, sterile dressing is applied to the incision site and will be fitted with a compression garment to protect the incisions and reduce swelling and aid in the tightening of the skin after surgery. Patients will experience some swelling and soreness/pain around the surgical areas easily controlled with oral medications. Patients may sit one to two days after surgery on a soft, full pillow, however should avoid sitting for extended periods

Recovery period:
The healing process is usually 4-6 months and if fall goes well, bruising and swelling usually subsides within a month. Still it may be weeks before you can sit down without discomfort. Keep in mind that you may have to wait as long as three months before you can exercise, run or engage in any kind of strenuous activity. The foam pads come off in 3-4 days at which time the patient may shower.  We recommend continued use of the pillow for approximately 2 weeks.   Patient can generally return to work within one week and compression garment must be worn for two to four weeks depending on the extent of the procedure. People generally feel back to normal after approximately four weeks at which time exercise may be started.

Results:
 We guarantee quality service and satisfying results of the operation but in cases of surgical corrections, patient can assure a free of charge revision. Please see before and after photos of Dr. Tanongsak patients in the Photo Gallery (photographs showed are with patient’s consent).

Risks and complications:
All surgical procedures have risk and complications inherent to the surgery itself. These risks include: infection, as manifested by swelling, tenderness, redness and fever, is an uncommon risk. Hematoma formation (large blood clot in the wound), which is manifested by enlargement and discoloration of tissue, seroma formation (large serum collection in the wound), which is manifested by prolonged swelling, Capsular contracture (a condition that can occur when thick/ hard connective tissue forms around the implant body, causing hardness, definitive implant edges that can be seen or restrict movement)

Types of Anesthesia use:
The procedure is under general anesthesia.

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

Body Contouring : Thigh Lift

Thigh Lift

Surgery Overview:

Thigh lift is a type of cosmetic surgery procedure designed to tighten the skin of the thigh and reduce sagging in the inner or outer thigh resulting in smoother and contoured skin. The ideal candidates for thigh lift are patients who have lost a lot of weight and the skin of the inner thigh sags or is droopy. The incision is based on the areas to be treated and extent of correction. The surgeon typically uses an incision that runs from the groin, around the back of the thigh and the crease of the buttock. The underlying tissue will be tightened and skin will be reduced resulting in a more improve body contour. The incisions are then closed with stitches which are either absorbable or non-absorbable.

Operation time:
Thigh lift surgery usually takes between 2-4 hours

Care after surgery:
  • Patient will feel some discomfort and tightness for the first 48 to 72 hours, but should begin to feel normal after 3 days. Prescribed pain killers will be given to relieve discomfort. Swelling may take 3-5 weeks to subside.
  • Patient will be fitted with a compression garment to protect the incisions and promote shrinking and tightening of the skin after surgery. Drainage tubes are inserted to reduce swelling and get rid of excess fluid. These tubes can be safely removed when the output of drainage fluid is clear and already low.
  • Keep your legs slightly bent at the hips a few days following surgery. This will reduce pain and minimized tension on the incision site. Wound dressing will be done on a daily basis so that incision site remains dry and free from bacterial infection. You may take a shower for about 3 days after surgery. Early ambulation as soon as possible after surgery to reduce the risk of developing blood clots.

Recovery period:
Thigh lift surgery is generally well tolerated, but the recovery time is 2-3 weeks. We strongly recommend strict bed rest for the first 10 days--avoiding all movement to help speed up recovery time. Out of town patients who have the thigh lift must stay a minimum of 2 weeks in town.

Results:
We guarantee quality service and satisfying results of the operation but in cases of surgical corrections, patient can assure a free of charge revision. Please see before and after photos of Dr. Tanongsak patients in the Photo Gallery (photographs showed are with patient’s consent).

Risks and complications:
There are certain risks associated with any medical procedure. Some of the risks associated with thigh lifts include: Scarring, infection, and bleeding, fluid accumulation, poor wound healing, asymmetry, anesthesia risk, fat necrosis, blood clots, numbness, continuous pain, bruising and swelling, deep vein thrombosis, unsatisfactory results and a possibility of a secondary surgery.

Types of anesthesia use:
The procedure can be done under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation.

Hospital admission:
You will be requested to sign in hospital consent form. Then you need five nights
admission to hospital for recuperation.

Preparation prior to 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.
  • Bruising and swelling can be minimized if you take certain nutritional supplements before your surgery such as arnica and bromelain. Find out what your surgeon recommends you take – or stop taking – before your surgery to improve the results and minimize the risks.

Payment: 
Surgical fees are fully paid prior to your surgery. Costs may vary and depend upon the complexity of the operation, where the surgery takes place and what anesthetic agent is administered. The payment can be in the form of US dollars, Euro, Japanese Yen, Singapore Dollars, and Australian Dollars. We also accept credit card (Visa, MasterCard) for your convenience but we usually charge additional 5% surcharge.

Booking and reservation:

Booking will be confirmed as soon as you deposit 10% of the total cost for major surgery and 200 US Dollars for minor surgery. Please send us the copy of your wire transfer receipt. Please inform us your flight itinerary one week prior to the surgery.

Appointment with the surgeon:
Consultation will be scheduled upon request. We will arrange it once you have already booked for the surgery.

Cancellation Policy:
If ever you want to cancel your surgery, you must inform us 2 weeks in advance. Deposits will not be refunded because we already locked the reservation for you but you can reschedule your surgery whenever you are ready.
