Svettekjertler (Hyperhidrose)
Hyperhidrose er økt svetting i begrensede hudområder f.eks. håndflater, hode/panne eller armhuler. Man bør ha prøvd andre behandlinger uten å få effekt, slik som uttørkende preparater. Ulike metoder kan være medisinsk injeksjon, kirurgi eller fettsuging
3 metoder å velge mellom for å minske svettingen.
Medisinsk injeksjon: Blokkerer nerveimpulsen til svettekjertlene slik at de produserer mindre svette. Behandlingen holder i 9-12 måneder og må da gjennomgås igjen. Dette er en god behandlingsmetode for hender og pannen ettersom den ikke etterlater noe arr. Den kan også utføres i armhulen. Behandlingen trenger ikke noe bedøvelse.
Kirurgi: Å fjerne en del av huden kan være et godt alternativ, men dette etterlater arr. Det er imidlertid områdene i axillen hvor man anvender denne metoden. Man fjerner ca 2/3 deler av alt behårigsområde og dermed minskes svettingen. Effekten av kirurgi er i prinsippet permanent.
Fettsuging: Kan være et godt alternativ da dette ikke etterlater arr, og i prinsippet ikke trenger å gjentas.
For å få et optimalt resultat og for å unngå komplikasjoner, anbefales at du har så normal vekt som mulig. Røyker du, må du slutte å røyke minst 1 uke før operasjonen og fortsette uten røyking i 2 uker etter operasjonen.
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.
Accommodation
If you live far from the clinic, we recommend that you stay overnight in or near Oslo.
Oslo Plastic Surgery has agreements with both Hotel Gabelshus, Gabelsgate 16 and Frogner House Hotel Norum, formerly Rica Hotel Bygdøy Allé, Bygdøy Allé 53 - both are located in close proximity to the clinic.
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.

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.
Er du egnet for inngrep får du informasjon om selve operasjonen, forholdsregler for tiden før og etter inngrepet, og du vil få svar på dine spørsmål.
For pasienter med lang reisevei tilbyr vi konsultasjon via telefon og/eller videokonsultasjon. Vi sender da i forkant et helseopplysningskjema som skal fylles ut og returneres til oss før konsultasjonen. Du sender også noen bilder til oss.
Should surgery be necessary, the surgeon will conduct a thorough assessment the day before the planned surgery.
