Arm plastic surgery with liposuction
Noen utvikler uheldig hud/fettfordeling på innsiden av overarmene som gjør at de henger og blir kosmetisk skjemmende, ikke minst med tanke på klær. Har man like mye eller mer fettoverskudd enn hudoverskudd, kan figurforming (fettsuging) etter grundig vurdering være nok. Har man betydelig hudoverskudd, må man gjennomføre armplastikk hvor man i tillegg til figurforming fjerner overflødig hud. Dette etterlater et arr på innsiden av overarmene som varierer i lengden avhengig av graden av hudoverskudd.
For å få optimalt resultat av armplastikk, og for å unngå komplikasjoner, anbefales det at du har så normal vekt som mulig. Røyker du, må du slutte minst 1 uke før operasjonen og fortsette å være røykfri 2 uker etter operasjonen. Selve fettsugingen foretas gjennom små åpninger som plasseres slik at de etterlater ubetydelige arr. Armplastikk gir ikke grunnlag for sykemelding.
Before the operation
Du må være frisk operasjonsdagen. Er du i tvil om du skulle være forkjølet eller lignende, må du ta kontakt med oss. Operasjonen utføres ikke når man har influensa med feber eller hoste eller annen infeksjon. Før operasjonen får du resept på antibiotika, evt. smertestillende og rens oppløsning 40 mg/ml som du får kjøpt på apoteket.
Dagen før operasjon og operasjonsdagen skal du dusje hjemme med rens oppløsning. Dette er en desinfiserende såpe som skal skylles av med vann, og huden tørkes med et rent håndkle. Ta på deg rene klær når du reiser hjemmefra. Alt av smykker, piercing og neglelakk må være fjernet senest dagen før operasjonen og settes tilbake 7 til 10 dager etter operasjonen.
You must arrive at the surgery fasting. This means that you should not eat food 6 hours before the surgery, but you can drink water and juice (not milk or juice), chew gum/throat lozenges up to 4 hours before the surgery. You must arrange in advance with someone to pick you up at the clinic about 1 hour after the surgery, as you will not be able to drive yourself or take a taxi alone.
It is important that you stop taking blood-thinning medications about 14 days before the operation. For other medications, consult the clinic before the operation. Large amounts of garlic and health food preparations must also not be consumed.
After the operation
We recommend that you do not travel by air for the first 48 hours after the operation, during which time a check-up appointment will be arranged at the clinic. In the first hours after the operation you may feel a little tired, sometimes a little nauseous.
It is important that you take painkillers as prescribed, and make sure to drink plenty of fluids during the first 24 hours. Some people may feel a little dizzy, so it is a good idea to take a few minutes when you get up. You should rest for the first two days. The superficial bandage is removed 3 days after the operation. The tape is kept for up to a week, at which point you can shower, apply new tape and use the forehead bandage again. Bleeding and infection are uncommon and in very few cases require reoperation and/or antibiotic treatment. Anesthesia complications, such as allergic reactions to anesthetics, are extremely rare. Check-ups are scheduled with the clinic the next day, after 1-2 weeks, 3-6 months, and a final check-up after one year. You must call to schedule the check-ups yourself, or make an appointment with Oslo Plastic Surgery on the day of your forehead lift surgery.
If correction is necessary due to complications or unsatisfactory results, this is done free of charge within the one-year warranty period, provided that there is a medical indication and a clear potential for improvement.

For deg som har uhellig hud/fettoverskudd på over armeen som ikke er relatert til vektoppgang.
All patients must undergo a consultation before surgery. The consultation is conducted by our experienced plastic surgeon who will ask you questions about your medical status; past or current illnesses, previous surgeries, use of medications, etc. An examination is then performed, and the surgeon considers a possible operation.
If you are suitable for surgery, you will receive information about the surgery itself, precautions to take before and after the procedure, and you will get answers to your questions.
For patients with long distances to travel, we offer consultations via telephone and/or video consultation. We will then send you a health information form in advance, which you must fill out and return to us before the consultation. You will also send us some photos.
Should surgery be necessary, the surgeon will conduct a thorough assessment the day before the planned surgery.
You must be healthy on the day of the operation. If you are in doubt whether you have a cold or similar, you must contact us. The operation is not performed when you have the flu and/or fever or cough or other infection. Before the operation, you will receive a prescription for antibiotics, possibly painkillers and Hibiscrub solution 40 mg/ml, which you can buy at the pharmacy.
In Norway, it is not allowed to show before and after pictures of silicone from cosmetic procedures in marketing or on the clinic's website. However, we can show you beautiful pictures from previous patients when you come for a consultation with the surgeon. This can be very helpful when we discuss the size of the implant, and it can make it easier for you to imagine an expected result.
We can also offer a preliminary examination with a 3D imaging system. We take pictures of your body and can use image simulation to show you what an expected result will look like with different sizes and implant types.
If correction is necessary due to complications or unsatisfactory results, this will be done free of charge within one year, provided there is a medical indication and a clear improvement potential. This is our one-year warranty agreement.
