Aesthetic Medicine

Oslo Plastikkirurgi performs wrinkle treatments with various injection materials.

Over the years and with the course of life, wrinkles develop, most of all on the face due to less elasticity in the skin. This may be due to genetic factors and/or environmental and external influences such as sunbathing, diet, smoking, obesity, alcohol and solariums. These factors have to be worked on even before a cosmetic treatment can have a full effect.

Possible treatments are medical injection of material that has a lifespan of 6 months to 1 year. This substance is injected into the wrinkle area, as well as fine and deep wrinkles that can occur around the mouth, eyes, cheeks and forehead. In the case of muscle-related wrinkles in the glabella, so-called anger wrinkles, the reason for this is muscle hyperactivity. This is treated with a special injection that paralyzes the muscles so that the wrinkles are smoothed out. This can be done every year. Dimples and coarse wrinkles can be advantageously treated with fat transplantation using your own fat. See our section on fat transplantation and treatment list. The injection is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthetic and takes approximately 15 minutes per area.

3 – Threadlift

Some women and men prematurely get an older look, or they want to look a little younger. Over the years, you get wrinkled and sagging skin on your cheeks and neck. Some people get a double chin. It must be remembered that smoking, stress, exposure to sunlight, moderate to severe obesity, excessive alcohol consumption and poor diet are some of the factors that not only accelerate aging and increase the risk of complications, but also reduce the possibility of obtaining a cosmetically successful result. It is therefore important before thread lifting that you correct the conditions, so that the results are favorable.

A wire lift can be a good solution for those who are not candidates for surgery, for those who have small changes they want to correct, for those who do not want convalescence time, and for those with small relapses after previous facelifts. The advantages of thread lifting are that the process is quick, cheap, leaves no scars, you don’t need any convalescence time (time to recover from the operation) and the process is done under local anaesthetic. The disadvantages are that thread lifting can give short-term results (expected duration after thread lifting is between 3 to 5 years) and there will be little effect if you have a lot of excess skin.

With a thread lift, you can lift the neck, cheeks, jawline and temple area. An assessment will provide answers to what needs you have and which solution will suit you.

To get an optimal result and to avoid complications, it is recommended that you have as normal a weight as possible and follow the conditions mentioned above as far as possible. If you smoke, you must stop at least 1 month before the operation and continue without for 2 weeks after the operation.

In principle, the operation does not provide grounds for sick leave. Physical training and hard physical work should wait for a few days.

You must ensure your personal health on the day of surgery. Please contact us as soon as possible if you are in doubt, as we may have to postpone your surgery therefore saving you a journey to our clinic.

Prior to surgery you will have received a prescription for antibiotics, pain killers and Hibiscrub 40 mg/ml which are all available from your local pharmacy. The day before surgery you must shower using the Hibiscrub and again on the day of the procedure immediately
before surgery. Use a clean towel for drying and put on clean clothes when you leave home and change the sheets on your bed.

YOU MUST NOT EAT ANYTHING 6 HOURS BEFORE SURGERY, but you may drink water and light juice (not milk) and chew gum up to 4 hours prior to your surgery. You may take necessary medication/s with a sip of water on the morning of the operation.

Please decide for an adult friend to pick you up after surgery, as you will not be able to drive or take a cab alone. We also advise you to have a responsible adult person staying with you during the first 24 hours.

It is very important that you stop using the following medications 2 weeks before surgery: Acetylsalisyre, Albyl, Albyl-E and other medications that cause extended bleeding as Ibux, Alka-Seltzer, Antineuralgica, Asacol, Artrizin Alka, Brufen, Butazolidin Alka, Codacetyl, Confortid, Dispril, Dispril med kodein, Doloxene Forte, Denobid, Felden, Fenylbutazon, Gamaquil Comp, Globentyl, Globoid, Indocin, Kodein-Magnyl, Kodifen, Licyl, Magnyl, Magnyl-Koffein, Mundisal, Napren, Naprosyn, Novid, Novid with koffein, Paraflex Comp., Tanderil, Vitamin E, and Selen, Tricycliske antidepressiva.
