Liposuction

Steps Involved in IVF:

Procedure Description:

Liposuction, commonly referred to as "lipo," is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping and refining the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas. These stubborn fat pockets sometimes resist diet and exercise, leading many to seek medical intervention to achieve their desired silhouette. By targeting areas such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, back, and even under the chin, liposuction works to enhance the body's contours and proportion.

‍

While the overarching goal of liposuction is aesthetic enhancement, it's essential to understand that it's not a weight-loss solution. Instead, it's best suited for individuals close to their ideal weight, seeking to eliminate fat that's unresponsive to conventional weight-loss methods.

‍

The ideal candidates for liposuction have firm skin with good elasticity. This ensures the skin conforms to the new body contours post-procedure. It's crucial to maintain realistic expectations and consult with professionals to determine if liposuction is the right choice.

Procedure Duration:

Liposuction duration varies depending on several factors, including the technique used, the amount of fat to be removed, and the number of areas being treated. Generally, a session can range from one to several hours. Some minor liposuction procedures may use local anesthesia and be relatively quick, while more extensive operations could require general anesthesia and subsequently, more time.

‍

Post-procedure, patients will enter a recovery phase. Most patients can resume regular activities and return to work within a few days to two weeks, contingent upon the procedure's extent. However, while primary recovery happens fairly quickly, complete healing unfolds over a more extended period. Over several months, the treated areas will progressively settle into their new shape.

‍

During the post-operative phase, care is paramount. Patients might need to wear compression garments or elastic bandages over treated areas. This helps manage swelling and encourages the skin to adjust to its new contours. Regular check-ins with the surgeon, especially during the initial weeks, are crucial for monitoring recovery.

Benefits:

Cost Savings: Many destinations offer liposuction at significantly reduced prices compared to Western nations, without compromising on quality.
Expertise: Some overseas destinations specialize in liposuction, ensuring patients receive top-tier care.
Advanced Technology: Many foreign clinics are equipped with cutting-edge liposuction technology, guaranteeing optimal outcomes.
Recovery Vacation: Combining the procedure with the tranquility of a vacation destination can offer a serene recovery environment.

Potential Destinations:

Brazil: Renowned for its aesthetic surgery prowess.
South Korea: Marrying modern technology with surgical expertise.
Thailand: A nexus of hospitality, expertise, and advanced medical facilities.
Turkey: Offering a mix of European standards with competitive pricing.

Risks & Considerations:

Medical Complications: Infection, scarring, or fluid accumulation post-procedure.
Travel Logistics: Managing travel and accommodation during recovery.
Cultural Differences: Potential language barriers or differences in medical practices.
Follow-up Care: Ensuring post-procedure care while away from home.

How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital:

Credentials: Ensure the surgeon holds necessary qualifications and ample experience.
Before-and-After Galleries: Evaluate past results to gauge surgeon's expertise.
Facility Tour: Familiarize yourself with the clinic or hospital, either virtually or in person.
Communication: Ensure clarity on all procedure details, associated costs, and aftercare protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions

What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?

The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.

What happens during egg retrieval?

When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.

What happens to the eggs?

In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.

How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?

The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.

Embryoscope^©

Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.

Orthopedics Stem Cell

Knee

Research on mesenchymal stem cells regenerative properties in knee osteoarthritis. In these studies, researchers suggest that Stem Cell Therapy has the potential to regenerate lost cartilage, stop and reverse cartilage degeneration, provide pain relief, and improve patient mobility.

Shoulder

Stem Cell Therapy as an Alternative to Rotator Cuff & Shoulder Replacement Surgery. Stem cell therapy may offer an excellent alternative for patients looking to avoid shoulder joint replacement surgery, as well as many other surgical treatments for shoulder pain.

Ankle

If you suffer from chronic or acute ankle pain or instability due to arthritis, cartilage loss, ligament strain or tear, or tendon damage, then you may benefit from non-surgical stem cell treatments or stem cell-enhanced surgery.

Back Pain

Patients now have a minimally invasive option. Stem cell therapy for back pain and disc herniations can potentially repair the damaged disc or facet joint, restore function, rehydrate the disc, and ultimately alleviate chronic pain.

Anti-Aging Stem Cell

Hair Loss

Stem cell therapy and PRP therapy have been shown to be most effective for: Those in the early stages of hair loss, patients who are not viable candidates for surgery and women who prefer to avoid hair surgery.

Facial Anti-Aging

Aesthetic Anti-Aging. The Aesthetic Stem Cell Localized Treatment is a non-surgical minimally invasive procedure to enhance the appearance of aging skin and hair restoration. This all-natural technique combines dermal injections of bone marrow or adipose tissue derived stem cells and growth factors.

Fertility Stem Cell

Endometrial PRP

The stem cells used for treatment of a thin endometrium include mesenchymal stem cells. In addition, successful repair of the endometrium in pregnancy with stem cells has been reported previously.

Low Ovarian Reserve (PRP)

The treatment uses PRP (Platelet-Rich-Plasma), which with stem cell therapy is the novel therapeutic approach for restoring the quality of the ovarian reserve.Your PRP will contain a physiologic balance of platelets, growth factors and white blood cells tailored specifically for you.
