Blepharoplasty/Eyelid Reduction

Ageing of the upper and lower eyelids is normally due to a combination of loose skin and protrusion of fat. This is a common problem and although most patients seeking such surgery are 40 or older, puffy eyes may be a familial trait and patients will seek help at a much younger age. In the upper eyelids ageing causes stretching of the eyelid skin producing a “hooded” appearance. These changes can give the appearance of tiredness and many patients request Cosmetic Surgery for this reason.

Abdominoplasty/Tummy Tuck

The skin and muscles of the anterior abdominal wall are stretched during pregnancy or excessive weight gain. In some people this leaves loose skin and fat which can cause difficulty with clothing and performing sporting activities. Exercise and diet can help to reverse these changes but in some people surgery may be needed to tighten the muscles and remove the excess skin.

The operation is performed through a horizontal incision which is placed very low within the bikini area.

Some ladies may already have the scar of a caesarean section in this area which can be improved and incorporated in the abdominoplasty scar. By strengthening the central 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 stretch marks below the umbilicus will be removed with the excess skin. This procedure is often done in conjunction with liposuction to remove some excess 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 proposed surgery does vary between individuals and will be carefully discussed with you at your consultation.

The Tooth and its Surrounding Tissues

Teeth are not solid objects; they have a space at their centre containing blood vessels and nerves called the dental pulp. This pulp tissue nourishes the tooth.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental Implants are small, tissue-compatible titanium fixtures, which are inserted into the jawbone. After a period of natural bonding, the implants serve as the 'root' anchor for new superstructure crowns bridges or dentures.

Aetiology

The major cause of gingivitis is the accumulation of bacteria at the gum line in the form of a sticky, yellowish film which is called dental plaque. If left undisturbed, bacterial plaque calcifies to form dental calculus (tartar).

The London Day Surgery Centre has a fully equipped operating theatre suite and relaxing recuperative facilities. We also have state of the art dental surgeries for carrying out a variety of oral procedures. The centre has approval from all the major health insurance companies including BUPA and AXA PPP Healthcare.
