Thigh Fat

What bothers you about your legs?

An increase in the size of the thighs is often due to the development of thigh fat.

This concern often means the legs do not possess a shape that is considered attractive or ‘shapely’ and the appearance of cellulite may also increase. People affected by excess fat on the thighs are not usually happy with the top part of the legs looking bigger than they would prefer, often with a dimpled appearance, causing self-consciousness and the need to keep the legs covered.

Gaining weight is often the main contributor to the development of thigh fat. When the daily diet contains an excess of calories, or foods that are high in sugar and saturated fat, the body finds it has an excess of energy. In order for this not to turn into fat the body will need to burn it off, usually through an increase in activity / exercise.

Although everyone’s body will distribute excess fat differently, it is common for people to experience thigh fat. It is mainly subcutaneous fat that accumulates on the thighs – the jiggly fat that sits just beneath the skin. The ageing process, hormone changes and genetics can also influence the way your body deals with the development of fat, and where in the body it gets distributed.

Diet and exercise are often effective methods of reducing excess fat on the body, particularly with thigh fat. Many people try specific exercises that are designed to help tone and reshape the legs. Whilst this can produce results, for many people stubborn fat can remain.

Real Plastic Surgery can perform liposuction when small amounts of stubborn fat on the thighs are causing concern. If excess skin is also an issue, a surgical thigh lift can help to tighten the skin and create a more toned appearance

Breast reduction surgery can help to relieve the pain and discomfort associated with large breasts. When very large breasts are a concern, they often cause backache, neck pain, shoulder pain, and even rashes and soreness beneath the breast. Breast reduction surgery works by removing excess breast tissue to reduce the size and improve the shape of the breast. We may also find it necessary to lift the breast, as excessively large breasts may also be prone to sagging due to their weight and size. The size of the nipple may also require reduction so that it is more aesthetically balanced and proportionate to the smaller breasts.

The nose is the most central facial feature, and one that other people can be drawn to when communicating. The appearance of the nose does not always take on the form that one prefers, whether it’s due to genetics or from damage to the structure caused by an accident or injury. Concerns such as: bump on the nose (dorsal hump), crooked nose, hooked nose, a wide bridge or a less defined tip can often impact the affected person’s confidence and self-esteem, seeking a ‘nose job’ to help balance the features and improve their overall look.

Cataracts are the natural clouding of the lens inside our eyes. Cataracts develop as we get older and affect our vision. They will affect most of us in our life and are considered a normal part of ageing. Common complaints from cataracts include decreased vision, blurry vision and glare, especially around lights at night. Colour can also be affected as the blue light is absorbed by the cataract. Cataracts develop slowly over time, and when the decreased vision caused by the cataract starts to affect your life, this is the time to consider surgery.

Fat transfer to breast is a popular treatment that can be chosen to increase the volume of the breast, either independently for a small increase in size / volume, or alongside an implant for more dramatic results. Fat transfer to breast quite literally involves the extraction of fat from one area of the body (usually the abdomen or thighs) which is then transferred to the breast. Whilst this procedure is favourable for increases of up to one cup size, it is not a replacement for breast augmentation using implants where more than one cup size increase is desired.

Otoplasty (also known as pinnaplasty) is a surgical procedure that aims to reposition or improve the shape of the ears. There are a number of concerns that can lead to a person seeking otoplasty, but primarily this is due to asymmetrical or protruding ears. Just like our other facial features, the shape and size of our eyes is largely due to genetics.

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure which aims to remove excess skin and fat from the mid and lower abdomen, as well as tightening the muscles resulting in a flatter, more contoured appearance to the stomach. A traditional tummy tuck is focused on the front of the abdomen, where excess skin and localised fat is an issue and will involve moving / recreating the belly-button to ensure a natural looking result. There are several variations of the tummy tuck. These include a full tummy tuck, mini tummy tuck and an extended tummy tuck.

Cataracts often affect older people and are determined by the cloudy appearance of the lens, which should be clear. This can lead to difficulties in vision as for the affected person, it can seem like they are looking through a frosted window. Cataracts can develop slowly and may affect either one or both of the eyes (although not always at the same time), with visual impairment and sensitivity to light increasing as the cataract grows. It is usually when the cataract starts to affect a person’s daily life, that treatment is looked into.

Liposuction is a popular surgical procedure that addresses localised areas of fat that are too stubborn to be shifted by diet and exercise alone. It is important to understand that liposuction (also referred to as liposculpture or lipo) is not a replacement for a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

Scar Removal

A detached retina describes a condition in which the retina comes away from its supporting tissues at the back of the eye. The retina is a thin layer of light sensitive nerve cells and a healthy retina is imperative to clear vision. Retinal detachment can occur due to damage, trauma or injury, inflammation or structural changes to the eye that occur over time. Symptoms of retinal detachment may include; sudden flashes of light in the peripheral vision (outside of the central field of vision), a sudden increase in floaters (black strand like debris in the field of vision that appear to be floating and are particularly noticeable when looking at a plain surface), shadowing of the peripheral vision that appears to be moving toward the central field of vision and a sensation that a semi transparent curtain is covering / impairing the vision. Depending on the type and severity of retinal detachment, the appropriate type of surgery required will vary. In essence, all retinal detachment surgery aims to repair holes or tears in the retina and / or traction or pulling. The outlook for retinal detachment surgery is very good, with 90% of cases being successfully at the first operation, but time from symptoms to treatment is crucial, so don’t delay.

Skin Surgery

Droopy eyelids are a common ageing-related concern that develops from stretched skin and weakened muscles around the eye area. This concern can continue to progress as a person gets older, which gives the face a weary look. In significant cases of droopy upper eyelids, the skin can start to cover over the eye, leading to difficulties with vision. Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that can create a long-term solution for removing loose skin on the eyelids to help restore a youthful and refreshed look.

Eye Lid Surgery

A face lift is a cosmetic procedure that aims to reverse the appearance of facial ageing as well as addressing sagging skin, jowls, and fallen brows. A surgical face lift can lift and tighten the skin whilst following the natural structure of the face for a natural looking, youthful result. There are a number of techniques used in face lift surgery, including; SMAS PLICATION, SMAS FLAP (also known as DEEP PLANE), SMAS STACKING, CORSET PLATYSMAPLASTY and LATERAL PLATYSMA DISPLACEMENT.

Face Lift

A Macular hole is a gap in the part of the retina that is most sensitive to light, and as such is responsible for the central vision. The hole causes a gap in your central vision, making it difficult to read, see faces or see detail when looking at something. The peripheral vision is usually preserved and is not affected by the hole in the macula. Macula holes occur in approximately 1 in 10,000 people. Unfortunately, if it happens in one eye, there is a much greater chance of it also happening in the other eye.

Macular Hole Surgery

Floaters occur most frequently due to the vitreous jelly separating from the retina (light sensitive layer) behind it. If you see new floaters, or flashing of lights, this could signify that the vitreous jelly is coming away from the retina and you should see an ophthalmologist straight away as there is a chance that as the jelly separates, a tear in the retina can form. Urgent treatment can reduce the risk of retinal detachment. If you have stable, longstanding floaters in your vision, these can removed by a procedure that removes the vitreous jelly (vitrectomy). The operation takes less than an hour, and typically you will need 1-2 weeks off work.

Flashes and floaters

An epiretinal membrane occurs when a thin layer of tissue forms over the retina, at the back of the eye. This can happen when the jelly in the eye (vitreous) comes away from the retina, or following surgery or inflammation of the eye. The membrane, also known as macular pucker or cellophane maculopathy can cause visual difficulties when the membrane contracts, distorting a person’s central vision. If the membrane is symptomatic, an operation known as vitrectomy is often the best treatment - unfortunately contact lenses or glasses alone will not treat the membrane.

Small breasts may be hereditary, or as a result of weight loss, pregnancy or breastfeeding, as well as a loss of volume due to the natural process of ageing. When small or less shapely breasts affect a woman’s self-esteem or confidence, she may seek breast enlargement surgery (breast augmentation) to increase the size and / or enhance the shape of the breasts. Here at REAL, a pre-operative assessment will be carried out, during which time we will discuss your desired results as well as your reasons for seeking breast augmentation so that we can advise the correct procedure for you.

Breast Enlargement

It is very common for a woman’s breasts to begin to take on a less pert appearance over time. This may be due to a number of reasons, such as; ageing, post-pregnancy, breastfeeding and weight loss. Breast uplift surgery (mastopexy) can help to lift, reposition and enhance the shape of the breast by raising the position of the nipple and tightening the skin. It is sometimes desirable to increase lost volume to the breast by placing an implant as well as lifting which is known as mastopexy-augmentation. The type of surgery required will be determined following your pre-operative assessment at REAL.

Breast Uplift

There are a number of changes that occur on the face during ageing, and the eye area often displays these changes first. As well as wrinkles, droopy eyelids, dark circles and eye bags, the eyebrows can change their positioning slightly as they begin to sit nearer to the eyes. Known as ‘fallen brows’ this condition can add to the development of a tired appearance causing a person to seek a treatment that works to lift the brow and restore the eyes’ youthful look.

Brow Lifting

Botulinum toxin has been extensively and safely used in clinical practice since the 1970s. It decreases muscle movement and leads to less wrinkling of the overlying skin. Over time, natural skin regeneration smooths out the existing wrinkles. Other common cosmetic uses of botulinum toxin include lifting the brow, smoothing and lifting the neck area, and slimming the face. It is also an effective treatment for areas of the body that suffer with over-sweating, otherwise known as Hyperhidrosis.
