If lidocaine effects your medical condition than can not offer liposuction. Also you would need in writing a full medical clearance from your doctors!
great question . The use of lidocaine with epi should not trigger hemolysis if your surgeon can use IV sedation, as we do for all our cases, using agents such as Diprovan and Fentanyl. Have your medical doctor give the ok after discussing with your surgeon if possible. Good luck.
It would seem the safest approach would be to do your liposuction under what some refer to as "IV General Anesthesia". This uses primarily Propofol & Fentanyl IV and sometimes Ketamine and avoids the use of potentially triggering inhalational anesthetics. The use of Lidocaine in the infiltration solution, while common, has not been definitively shown to reduce post-operative analgesic requirements and thus can be left out of the solution. Obviously, you should otherwise be an appropriate candidate for the procedure as well.
G6DP deficiency should not be in the shoe with use of lidocaine.Probably having this procedure done as an awake procedure using lidocaine and mild sedation may be the best option.This may be a better idea than using general anesthesia I would highly recommend your plastic surgeon discuss the procedure with your primary care physician or ideally your hematologist.Best,Mats Hagstrom, MD
This is a very common concern. Excess fat can be deposited in any area. Diet is probably not going to improve this issue. This can best be treated with liposuction to remove the excess fat and contour your arms. This can be performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure.
There is nothing dangerous about what you had done. Lipo of the breast tail should NOT cause swelling of the arms. Keep touch with your surgeon,
I agree that it's early and you should continue your program you described. The garment should be firm, not tight. Good luck and see your surgeon for opinion.
The lumpiness, swelling, itching and hardness after a surgery like you had typically persists at least 8 weeks after the surgery then slowly goes away. In my experience, daily massage of the hard areas makes the biggest difference in getting rid of it sooner rather than later. It can easily ...
Thank you for your question and the photos. It might be wise to continue a bit more with massages or talk to your surgeon and see if an additional treatment would help you better. Best of luck
Given that your photos demonstrate striae and stretch marks, it is unlikely that your skin tone will result in a flat abdomen. My concern is that you had a rapid and significant weight gain. Rather than surgery, why not try to get back to that starting point and then reassess?
