What is Anaesthesia? Its Types and How It Works

What is Anaesthesia? Its Types and How It Works

By February 2, 2023 0
Meaning of Anaesthesia: Anesthesia is a state of numbness experienced by patients when medical professionals sedate them in order to keep them from experiencing intense pain during a medical procedure. The sensation of anaesthesia induced depends on the medical procedure that the patient is undergoing. It could either be limited to numbing a small area of the body or making the patient completely unconscious (asleep), in case the surgical procedures is extremely invasive.  How do anaesthetics work in a patient? The Nervous system in the human body is divided into two categories, namely, the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system consists of nerves whose signals are blocked by the anaesthetics. This blockage of nervous signals by the administration of an anaesthetic results in a temporary state of numbness inside the body.  Who is allowed to induce anaesthesia? The doctors who induce anaesthesia into a patient's body are known as anaesthesiologists, and they do so by administering patients with the class of drugs known as “anaesthetics”.  While this is usually the case, often when anesthesia only needs to be induced in a small and limited region of the body, for example the numbing of the mouth for a dental procedure, anaesthesia can be induced by a doctor who doesn’t specialize in it. But in most of the cases, a physician anaesthesiologist, or a trainee like a certified registered nurse anaesthetist (CRNA), or a certified anaesthesiologist assistant (CAA) is responsible for administering the anaesthetic.   What are the types of anaesthesia? Anaesthesia is categorised into the following types: 1. General anaesthesia - This type of anaesthesia makes the patient unconscious as it numbs the entire body. It is mostly given intravenously to block the sensations of nerves to numb the pain and relax the body's muscles. Typically, the effects of a general anaesthesia depend on the amount administered, it can either make the patient dizzy or make them completely unconscious. Occasionally a general anaesthesia can result in nausea, for that separate medications are also prescribed.  Watch the related video   2. Local anaesthesia - This type of anaesthesia only effects a small region of the human body. The anaesthetics that induce local anaesthesia are generally used in surgeries like cataract, dental treatment, or skin procedures. It should be noted that only the affected body part is numbed, the rest of the body is unaffected, which means the patient is awake during the treatment. Such anaesthetics can be applied topically on the concerned area or injected intravenously. It can also be used alongside with sedation, which is induced by another type of anaesthesia. Additionally, many surgeons also prescribe local anaesthetics to provide relief from pain during the recovery period of the patients.  Watch the related video    3. Regional Anaesthesia: This type of anaesthesia blocks the sensation of pain over a larger region than local anaesthesia like forelimbs, hindlimbs, and the chest region. The patient remains awake even after the administration of a regional anaesthetic. Epidural and spinal anesthesia are common examples of regional anaesthesia. Sedation is often practised with regional anaesthesia to allow patients to stay calm during the surgical treatment in case pain becomes a little too intense.    4. Sedation: Sedation is a type of monitored anaesthesia which allows the doctors to make the patient fall asleep naturally, but also allows them to awaken the patient according to their convenience. The drugs which induce sedation are given intravenously, making the patient feel drowsy and dizzy. Often, mild sedatives are administered in the patients undergoing eye surgeriesn so that they can stay awake throughout the surgery and respond to the doctor’s instructions. Moderate sedatives are given to relax the patient to an extended level, but awaken easily. Deep sedation is quite similar to general anesthesia, as it makes the patient fall into a deep sleep. Deep sedation is practised in surgeries like endoscopy and colonoscopy.  How is anaesthesia administered? As the surgeon suggests in accordance with the surgery, anaesthesia can be administered in the following way: Applied over the skin in the form of spray or cream. Inhaled through the nasal cavity in the form of gas. Injectable shots or intravenous syringes.  How should I prepare for anaesthesia? The patient must always be prepared before the administration of anaesthesia and must ensure the following precautions in order to reduce the risk of any complications: Avoid food and drinks for eight hours before you go to the hospital unless directed otherwise. Quit smoking, even if it’s just for one day before the procedure, to improve your heart and lung health. The most beneficial effects are seen when the patient stops smoking two weeks before the procedure. Stop the consumption of alcohol for one to two weeks before the procedure as directed by your doctor. What happens during anaesthesia? Firstly, the surgeon administers anesthesia into the body with respect to the type of surgery. The surgeon then maintains vital signs like blood oxygen levels, blood pressure, pulse rate, and heart rate. After the surgery, a post-surgical procedure is done. What should I do after getting anaesthesia? The patients who only undergo local anaesthesia can be advised to return to work. Others who undergo regional, general, or sedation are advised to take the following precautions after their procedure: Let someone else drive home.  Take plenty of rest for the remainder of the day. Do not run any kind of equipment for 24 hours. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours. Only consume medications prescribed by the doctor. Avoid making any important decisions for 24 hours.  What are the side effects of anaesthesia? In most cases, the side effects of anaesthesia will subside within 24 hours, depending upon the type of anaesthesia administered. Though a patient may feel the following side effects from the anaesthetics: Fatigue Headache. Itching. Nausea and vomiting. Pain and contusions. Sore throat  Body pain or muscle pain.

Do Breast Implants Affect Pregnancy and Pregnancy Symptoms banner

Do Breast Implants Affect Pregnancy and Pregnancy Symptoms?

By January 18, 2023 0
Do Breast Implants Affect Pregnancy and Pregnancy Symptoms? It’s a well known fact that pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect the shape, size, and the look of your breasts.  And so naturally, women who have breast implants and are going through a pregnancy, or are planning on becoming pregnant, wonder whether having breast implants will somehow affect their pregnancy, or will cause any negative symptoms, like impeding their ability to breastfeed The questions related to this domain are many. So, today, we are going to answer all of these questions. How Does Pregnancy Affect Breast Implants? During pregnancy, the breast tissues will grow and change due to the rising progesterone and estrogen levels. These changes don’t usually affect the implants because the implants are designed to be resilient and resistant to deflating, ruptures, or leakages. So, the pressure caused by the growing breast tissues will not result in the implants rupturing or changing shape. However, it should be noted that the change in breast tissues along with natural weight gain during pregnancy can sometimes weaken the breast tissue. This is because when the breasts expand during pregnancy, and so after they contract they leave excess skin which results in sagging. Though the chances of this happening are very low and hardly ever occur. Should You Wait Some Time After Getting Implants to Get Pregnant? Ideally, the answer to this question is yes. Usually, it is best for an individual to fully heal from the surgery before getting pregnant. This means that one should wait for 6 to 8 weeks after being fully healed from the surgery to get pregnant. This will ensure that the surgery will not interfere with the pregnancy. However, if you get pregnant soon after getting breast implants, then you should let your cosmetic surgeon and obstetrician know. By doing so, you will ensure that you will be properly monitored by your doctors and avoid the development of any complications in your pregnancy.  Browse the video, Can I Breastfeed after Breast Implants Can I Breastfeed After Getting Breast Implants? Yes, women can breastfeed after getting breast implants. There are only a few possible exceptions to this rule. If the breast augmentation surgery was not done properly and there was some problem in placing the breast implants either under the breast tissue or under the chest muscles, then it can become problematic for the woman to breastfeed. Here are a few errors which can cause your breast augmentations to become a hindrance to your breastfeeding:       If the incision was made across the areola or nipples and during the surgery, and the milk ducts were snipped       If the implants are right under the glandular tissue and on top of the chest muscle       If breasts were never developed properly       If breasts were tuberous in shape       If breasts were asymmetrical       If breasts were spaced far apart In some cases, the woman might lose sensation in some parts of her breasts or nipples. In these cases, it might be difficult for the woman to nurse properly. This usually happens when the nerves around the nipples get damaged during surgery. Is It Safe to Breastfeed, Even If You Can Do It? Studies have found no reports of any health concerns in the babies of parents who have silicone breast implants. However, it should be noted that research in this area is still limited. But there is still no evidence of an increased risk of birth complications in babies born to parents with breast implants. Will There Be Excess Sagging Postpartum? There can be some sagging postpartum, but it won’t be due to the breast implants. Due to natural hormonal changes, the breasts might grow and change during pregnancy and the month following pregnancy. During breast enlargement, the skin surface area would also grow and sagging can occur because of the excess skin that remains right after the postpartum period is over. However, with time, the breasts will reduce and will move closer to the pre-pregnancy size. In addition to this, skin and breast tissue can become less firm after pregnancy. But you should note that even after all these changes, there should be minimal to no changes in the breast implant. Some factors that can affect your breasts during postpartum are:       Pregnancy weight gain       Genetics       Length of breastfeeding       Number of pregnancies Is It Better to Wait Until After You Have Had Kids to Get Implants? The answer to this question is purely preferential. Unless you are actively trying to get pregnant right now, in which case it is advised that you should wait, else you can get implants whenever you want. The decision about whether to get implants and when to get them is a very personal decision since everyone has different health histories, goals, and priorities in life. This means that you can get breast implants before having children, or you can get breast implants after having children. You should make this decision according to your requirements and comfort. These are all the major questions that women face when they are trying to get breast implants. If you have any other questions, then feel free to reach out to us and get those questions answered.

Difference Between a Trim Labiaplasty and Wedge Labiaplasty

What is the Difference Between a Trim Labiaplasty and Wedge Labiaplasty?

By January 9, 2023 0
Difference Between a Trim Labiaplasty and Wedge Labiaplasty A lot of women are not comfortable with the way their genitalia looks, for those women, getting a labiaplasty can be a big step towards gaining self-confidence and becoming more sexually empowered. According to several sources, labiaplasty is becoming one of the fastest-growing cosmetic surgeries across the globe. The primary reason behind that is the significant impact that the procedure has on the overall appearance of the vagina. This procedure also provides the additional benefit of addressing any other discomforts and improving the overall sexual health of a woman. Browse the video on Labiaplasty Surgery  What is Labiaplasty? It should be noted that labiaplasty surgery is a highly personalized surgery that caters to the needs and desires of a woman. This surgery is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Instead, different methods are required for achieving the results, as every woman’s vagina is different. According to experts, there are primarily two surgical approaches taken to perform this procedure. These techniques are: Trim Labiaplasty Trim labiaplasty is the most common technique that is used by surgeons around the globe, as this procedure is quite straightforward. For this procedure, surgeons start by creating a linear cut along the outer edge of the labia. This plays a big role in reducing the size of the labia minora. This process also involves removing some extra tissues so that a woman can achieve a more petite look. On this procedure is completed, and the healing has taken its due course, the labia minora will become less prominent, as it would sit inside the natural folds of the labia majora. Apart from this, there are also a few other advantages of getting this procedure done. The first advantage is the drastic reduction in the length and size of the vagina. It solves both problems - the cosmetic issues and the discomfort. This technique also removes dark pigmentation on the edge of the tissue. Once removed only healthy pink tissue is left on the edge of the labia. Most women find this more desirable. Apart from this, the clitoral hood is also not affected due to the procedure. Cosmetic surgeons also have the ability to address concerns related to clitoral hood tightening within the same procedure. Wedge Labiaplasty This technique is a bit more complex in comparison to the trim procedure. It serves almost the same purpose as trim labiaplasty. However, it achieves slightly different results from the technique that was mentioned above. For this procedure, the surgeon removes a wedge of tissue. Surgeons often cut a V-shaped section of tissue from the center of the labia. This results in a keyhole shape with two cut edges. The surgeon then stitches the edges together and tightens the entire labia. It should be noted that the wedge technique can help in addressing asymmetry between the two sides and extra length that might be present in the center of the labia. Apart from this, this technique also helps in achieving a smooth transition from the labia to the clitoral hood, though it does not target any extra clitoral hood skin. In this technique, hyperpigmentation is left behind as the edges are not touched. Surgeons can use other techniques to care for that particular concern, but it is usually not a part of the standard wedge labiaplasty procedure. Trim Labiaplasty or Wedge Labiaplasty: Which Technique is Right for You? Determining which surgical approach is right will depend on several factors, including cosmetic, comfort, and vaginal health needs. This means that trim labiaplasty is usually ideal for individuals who prioritize cosmetic concerns like hyperpigmentation. On the other hand, wedge labiaplasty is best for women who want natural tightening with minimal scarring. At the end of the day, you need to remember that these decisions should be made by your cosmetic surgeon only. You need to completely trust your surgeon and follow his or her advice whenever it comes to cosmetic surgeries and your health. Why Choose Divine Cosmetic Surgery?

Breast Augmentation Size Chart - Implant Sizes and Cup Sizes

Breast Augmentation Size Chart – List of Implant Sizes and Cup Sizes

By January 3, 2023 0
Breast Implant Size Chart If you are looking to change the size of your breast, then getting a breast implant can help you improve your confidence and change your life. But choosing the right size of breast implant can be a bit confusing and challenging at times. Most people are not aware of the fact that implant sizes and breast cup sizes are quite different. For example, a silicone implant is measured in terms of cubic centimeters (cc) while the final breast size for a bra is measured in cup size. To make things easier, plastic surgeons use implant size charts to help patients get the right estimation of what final cup size and implant volume will help them achieve their desired look. A plastic surgeon can also help a patient consider other factors like implant profile, implant shape, and the natural anatomy of the breasts. Dr. Amit Gupta is a plastic surgeon who provides patients with the right guidance in terms of what implant size will be the best option for them. He ensures that this is done so in such a manner that the patient gets the best shape and size required for reaching her cosmetic goals. Browse the video on the breast augmentation size chart  The Different Sizes of Breast Implants Breast implants are available in a range of different sizes in order to properly accommodate the needs of different body types. Usually, the implant size refers to the implant volume. There are different measurements that can help determine the implant size. To understand the concept of implant size better, there are three parameters that one needs to, take into account, these are: Implant Volume Implants are usually measured in their volume, which is in cubic centimeters (cc). A small breast implant can range from 150 to 200 cc, and large implants can be anything over 400 cc. The most popular ones lie anywhere in between 300 to 350 cc. Additionally, a very large implant can go as high as 800 cc or more. Implant Diameter The diameter is the base width of a breast implant that provides shape to the breast outline and determines the right fit for a patient. The diameter can range from 7.4 cm to 17.2 cm. Selecting the correct width essential for maintaining natural-looking results. Implant Profile The implant profile is the distance that the breast or the implant projects outward from the chest. Profiles can be measured from low or moderate to ultra-high depending on the desired outcome. Dr. Amit Gupta takes patients through all of these factors and more during the first breast implant consultation. What are Breast Implant Profiles? To get the best results, one needs to figure out the best breast implant profile. The ideal way of doing this is by standing sideways in front of a mirror. In this position, you will be able to see the contours of your breasts. Now try to visualize how much you want your breasts to push out from your chest in order to provide you with the right fullness. One should remember that implants can have the same volume but different profiles. This means that there can different variations of final breast projections and shapes. Let’s look at the prominent features of standard breast implant profiles. This is mentioned in the table given below. Low Profile ·         Flat appearance ·         Minimal projection ·         Ideal for wider chests Moderate Profile ·         Natural-looking projection ·         Ideal for smaller or narrower chests High Profile ·         Maximum projection ·         Very round and prominent breasts ·         Ideal for narrow chests How Does Implant Size Affect Cup Size? As a rule of thumb, each 150 cc to 200 cc breast implant volume is likely to provide a woman with a one-cup size increase. But one should remember that this can differ from one patient to another. Beyond this, one shouldn’t forget that a bra cup size can vary significantly between brands. Because of this, the cup size estimations are not really realistic. It is also not reliable when it comes to breast augmentation. Dr. Amit Gupta uses precise measurements of the patient’s breast before and after the breast augmentation procedure. This is done to ensure that the patient is able to get the results that she wants. To further help patients, a chart is given below for measuring the estimation of general changes in cup size after getting a breast augmentation. Breast Implant Size Chart: Ideal Implant Sizes and Cup Sizes Breast Implant Volume Estimated Cup Size Increase 350 to 300 cc A to B 300 to 350 cc A to C 370 to 430 cc A to D 250 to 350 cc B to C 350 to 400 cc B to D 400 to 450 cc B to DD 300 to 350 cc C to D 370 to 450 cc C to DD 450 to 550 cc C to E 300 to 400 cc D to DD 450 to 600 cc D to E If you want to learn more about breast augmentation size charts directly from Dr. Amit Gupta, then watch our video today!  How to Choose the Best Implant Size? The main goal for people who undergo breast augmentation surgery is to enhance their breast size and shape while maintaining a natural look. This is why getting a breast augmentation done by just about anybody will not work well. Instead, patients should only get a breast augmentation done by a qualified, experienced, and skilled cosmetic surgeon. This will ensure excellent outcomes and aesthetics. Beyond this, Dr. Amit Gupta encourages his patients to consider other factors like: Body frame Torso size Natural breast tissue Skin capacity Cleavage goals Are Larger or Smaller Breast Implants Better? Most patients who want to get a breast augmentation done know what they want the final results to look like. However, the difficulty is in picking the right size of breast implant. And before making this decision, one must consider the pros and cons of choosing a smaller or larger breast implant. Considering a Small Breast Implant Patients with smaller frames and smaller breasts can benefit from either a small or larger implant. A small breast implant can provide benefits like: Natural shape and texture Avoid an overly-rounded appearance Softer texture Fewer stretch marks Less space is required for proper accommodation Smaller incisions Quicker recovery Less discomfort But what if a patient wants a clearer enhancement? In this case, getting a smaller implant may not be the best option. In these cases, the patient must get a larger or more high-profile breast implant to get the desired results. Considering a Larger Breast Implant Apart from enhancing the size of your breasts, a larger implant will also improve the overall contour of the body. It can also help a woman achieve an hourglass figure. Women who have a broader or taller build can also opt for bigger breast implants as it helps them achieve a larger, more natural-looking breast projection. Beyond this, a larger breast implant can also help a woman get a more enhanced and glamorous look. Bigger is not always the better An overly large implant can hinder a woman from carrying out her normal daily activities. It can feel like a heavy load and cause neck and back pain. It might even damage existing breast tissues. Further, the patient might need a breast lift in the future to maintain the results. At the end of the day, one must remember that both smaller and larger breast implants have their pros and cons. This is why it is vital for a patient to consult with a qualified, experienced, and skilled cosmetic surgeon before deciding the size of breast implant that the patient wants to get. Dr. Amit Gupta ensures that his patients are able to figure out the best breast implants that they want to get without overcomplicating the process or causing any negative side effects. Important Factors to Consider When Choosing Breast Implants Till now we have talked about breast implant size. But what if you are not sure about the type of final results you want? In this case, one must go through the list of tips that we have mentioned below. Consider these factors when deciding the type of final results that you want from your breast augmentation procedure. Aesthetic Goals Getting a breast augmentation done is a very personal decision. A patient might want to go a few sizes up from where she is right now or get a larger size to enhance her overall look. Some might wish to be a little more discrete and opt for a subtle look. Implant Shape Once you are sure about your aesthetic goals, then the next step is to figure out how to get that desired look. Your plastic surgeon will play a vital role in this. There are several implant shapes available, such as round and teardrop implants, that can help you achieve your desired look. Natural Body Shape Your current body proportions play a vital role in deciding the type of breast implants that you should be getting. As we have mentioned above, different breast implants work differently for everyone. This is why one must consider their natural body shape while deciding the type of implant that the patient should opt for. Age Younger patients have more elastic skin. This makes it easier for them to adjust to a new breast profile. As one ages, the skin gets prone to sagging. This is when one might consider getting breast lift surgery along with a breast augmentation. The Lifestyle If a patient lives a physically active life, then Dr. Amit Gupta does not recommend getting overly large breasts as those can interfere with several daily activities.
