Risks Of Facelift

• Haematoma is the most common complication of face-lift, occurring in about 1 in 30 to 1 in 20 women and 1 in 20 to 1 in 50 men.
• Nerve injury is occasionally seen after face-lift and may affect the sensation nerve leading to the earlobe or the facial nerve that makes the facial muscles move.
• Paralysis from facial nerve injuries is often temporary, but on rare occasion surgical nerve repair is needed.
• Skin sloughs occasionally occur with face-lift, but are usually confined to a small area behind the ear. This may heal in a cosmetically acceptable fashion on its own, or may require surgical revision at a later date.

Risks Of Laser Resurfacing

• Bleeding of significance is very rare, and infection uncommon.
• Scarring may occur in those of certain skin types, and most of these patients will be counselled to avoid treatment.
• Pigmentation changes are unusual, though patients with darker skin tones must be certain to consult with an expert in order to avoid unique complications.

Risks Of Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

• Post-operative bleeding may affect from 1 in 100 to 1 in 30 patients.
• Infection occurs in between 1 in 50 to 1 in 20 cases.
• Patients run the risk of skin necrosis, a condition in which skin tissues die due to lack of blood supply; however, the majority of these are minor and easily treated.
• Thick, abnormal scarring is possible following abdominoplasty, but treatment with silicone sheeting or scar revision methods can keep this in check.
• The risk for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and resulting clots in the lungs is higher in abdominoplasty than in any other cosmetic surgery procedure, though this risk is normally less than 1 in 100.

Risks Of Breast Augmentation

• Haematoma affects about 1 in 100 patients.
• Wound infections are uncommon at less than 1 in 100, but it is important to mention that in these cases the implants must be removed.
• Changes in nipple sensation vary with breast augmentation and are more properly considered side effects than complications.
• Longer-term complications related to the imperfection of implants include implant deflation and hardening of the breast from a process known as capsular contracture.
• Contracture affects approximately 1 in 20 to 1 in 15 patients to come degree.

Risks Of Liposuction

• Seroma, a collection of clear fluid beneath the skin, is the most common complication of liposuction, affecting about 1 out of 20 patients.
• Haematomas are less common, though not rare.
• Infection affects a small percentage and is more common when the areas treated are the thighs.

Risks Of Breast Reduction

• Haematoma affects between 1 in 50 and 1 in 25 patients.
• Infection afflicts a smaller number between 1 in 100 and 1 in 50.
• Necrosis of skin and / or fat, though not rare, is usually minor and reparable.
• Hypertrophic scars are of concern in those prone to their formation. Most of these scars are treatable with topical silicone sheeting.

Risk Of Mastopexy (Breast Lift)

• Haematoma is very uncommon after mastopexy since the operation is generally only "skin deep."
• Infection occurs in a small percentage, and skin slough affects an even smaller number.
• Hypertrophic scars are a possibility for those at genetic risk, but they often respond to treatment.

Risk Of Rhinoplasty (NOSE JOB)

• Bleeding is the most common post-operative complication after rhinoplasty. Rarely, a patient must be returned to the operating room to control hemorrhage.
• When an "open" rhinoplasty technique has been used or the nostrils have seen though this can often be treated through scar revision or with topical steroids.
  
• Toxic shock syndrome occurs in a very small proportion of patients - about 1 in 6,250 cases. However, if this occurs, the chances of dying from this complication are roughly 1 in 9.

A Chemical Peel

A Chemical Peel

A mild to moderate chemical peel uses glycolic or alpha-hydroxy acid to exfoliate aged and damaged skin, allowing new skin to regenerate and take its place. It reduces fine lines, age spots, acne & whitening.

Chemical peels are usually performed on an outpatient basis and do not require any anesthesia. A series of three to five peels, performed in two-week intervals, may be required to achieve desirable results.

Filler Injections

Filler Injections

Used to "fill out" the wrinkles and furrows in the face, fillers are often used for ares around the mouth, nose and cheeks, as well as for sculpting lips, adding volume and diminishing fine lines. Hyaluronic acid is a popular component of many fillers. This biodegradable gel is injected into target areas using a fine needle.

Local anesthesia may be administered to avoid and redness in the area of injection. After the injections, the resolvable fillers generally last between six and nine months, after which a top-up is generally required to maintain the results.

Laser Resurfacing

Laser Resurfacing

This laser treatment helps rectify superficial to moderate facial wrinkles, mild surface scars, skin discoloration, and sun-damaged skin in delicate areas such as around the eyes and mouth. General anesthesia is required, as the ablative laser resurfacing removes the whole depth of the skin from the epidermis down to the dermis - a process that can be rather painful!

Following an ablative laser resurfacing, doctors will advise you to rest for about 7-10 days. During the recovery process, the skin is typically red or pink (a condition that can last anywhere from several days to a few months), and crusting may occur.

A Surgical Facelift

Considered major surgery, a facelift is the gold standard for the treatment of moderate to severe wrinkles, jowls and neck folds, and a sagging chin. The patient will be under general anaesthetic, and surgery usually lasts between three and four hours. Patients will be required to be admitted to the hospital for about three days.

In the procedure, incisions are made above the hairline at the temples, extending behind the earlobe to the lower scalp. The underlying muscles are tightened, the skin pulled back and the excess skin removed.

Full recover usually takes about three weeks.

DermaRoller, MesoRoller & SkinStamp

Pamper your skin with the right basics

If you wash your face with water and are clueless as to what a basic skincare regime entails, there's no better time to find out. Start swearing by these essentials - your skin will love you for it.

1. Cleanser - The first, and most basic step of a skincare regime is cleansing your face, to remove surface debris and excess oil. Choose a cleanser according to your skin's needs and make sure your skin doesn't feel dry or taut after. Use a gel cleanser if you have oily skin and a cream cleanser if your skin is dry. Lather from foam cleansers helps remove dirt while oil cleansers double up as make-up as make-up removes.

CLEO Magazine August Issue 2011

As a Aesthetician of Estelle Cosmetique Aesthetics, i would like to share a little of my teenage acne story with those facing the same problem as i used too. My Problems with acne stared when i was Form3 and it lasted all the way to Form 5. So i had it for about three years.

I felt upset and embarrassed,. I tried to conceal them but the doctor said foundation and concealer wasn't a good idea. Unfortunately, i didn't have a choice. I wanted to cover the redness because it made me feel slightly better when i go out. I also didn't really like taking pictures during that time.

Finally, i went to see a dermatologist (Dr Ranjit from Subang Jaya) and he prescribed medication to help control the oiliness. After three months, the meds helped to lessen the zits. The dermatologist then gave me acne cream and gel which i used for six months to maintain clearer skin. For serious cases, you should really consult a doctor first.

Ended up i took up a Beauty Aesthetics Course for my career & been working for Dr Ranjit Skin Specialist for the passed 6 years, Not only i get the made myself complexion improved, i do get to help many people with their problems as well. I love my job very much!
