Lifts Frequently Asked Questions • What type of anaesthetic is used? • What happens after the procedure? • What are the risks? • What costs are involved? Please contact Mr Banwell’s office where his staff will be able to answer any questions you may have and arrange for a quote and information regarding the procedure to be sent to you. What type of anaesthetic is used? Mr Banwell recommends the surgery be performed under a general anaesthetic undertaken by a specialist anaesthetist. What happens after the procedure? Usually the operation is performed as a day case or overnight stay. Most people report that pain, discomfort and stiffness of the first few days are minor. Paracetamol is usually sufficient. It is necessary to take things easy for the first few days. A tight fitting elastic garment will be provided and this reduces the swelling of the treated areas. Most people can return to work anywhere between a few days and two weeks after surgery and light activities can be resumed after two to three weeks. Normal activities can be resumed after six weeks. One to two weeks following the procedure you can commence massaging the affected areas. Mr Banwell recommends this is performed professionally (using manual lymphatic drainage techniques or ultrasound) on a regular basis. |
