Ageing of the upper and lowereyelids is normally due to a combination of loose skin and protrusion of fat.This is a common problem and although most patients seeking such surgeryare 40 or older, puffy eyes may be a familial trait and patients will seek helpat a much younger age. In the upper eyelids ageing causes stretching of theeyelid skin producing a ?hooded? appearance. These changes can give theappearance of tiredness and many patients request Cosmetic Surgery for thisreason.
Abdominoplasty/Tummy Tuck
The skin andmuscles of the anterior abdominal wall are stretched during pregnancy orexcessive weight gain. In some people this leaves loose skin and fat which cancause difficulty with clothing and performing sporting activities. Exercise anddiet can help to reverse these changes but in some people surgery may be neededto tighten the muscles and remove the excess skin.
The operation isperformed through a horizontal incision which is placed very low within thebikini area.
Some ladies mayalready have the scar of a caesarean section in this area which can be improvedand incorporated in the abdominoplasty scar. By strengthening thecentral muscles of the abdomen it is possible to improve the waist line.This procedure is not a cure for stretch marks although most of the stretchmarks below the umbilicus will be removed with the excess skin.This procedure is often done in conjunction with liposuction to remove someexcess fat. It should be stressed that this is not an operation which aims to remove fat,but rather one for loose skin. The precise detail of the proposedsurgery does vary between individuals and will be carefully discussed with youat your consultation.
The Tooth and itsSurrounding Tissues
Teeth are not solid objects; theyhave a space at their centre containing blood vessels and nerves called thedental pulp. This pulp tissue nourishes the tooth.
What areDental Implants?
Dental Implants are small,tissue-compatible titanium fixtures, which are inserted into the jawbone. Aftera period of natural bonding, the implants serve as the 'root' anchor for newsuperstructure crowns bridges or dentures.
Aetiology
The major cause ofgingivitis is the accumulation of bacteria at the gum line in the form ofa sticky, yellowish film which is called dentalplaque. If left undisturbed, bacterial plaque calcifiesto form dental calculus (tartar).
