Surgery and Hospitalization

It depends on how YOU take care of your new knee. It could last up to 15 years.

The factors that count are your weight, activities, like walking, swimming, biking are all good but you should avoid jarring activites like running, tennis (singles), snow skiiing, ice skating...discuss activities with your doctor. Due to the nature of the replacement wearing out at some point the medical people like to wait as long as possible with your age so that you will not have to go through a revision surgery, after the parts wear out.

Most doctors will tell you to wait until you are fully healed post-surgery as surgery is a traumatic event on the human body. This should be at minimum 6-8 weeks. For best results, consult your OB/GYN.

An eye lift can usually last between 5 and 7 years. After that time, your eyes will start to show signs of aging once again.

During surgery, the top of the vagina is attached to the lower abdominal wall, the lower back (lumbar) spine, or ligaments of the pelvis. Vaginal vault prolapse is usually repaired through the vagina or an abdominal incision and may involve use of either your tissue or artificial material. Post-op no lifting anything heavier than a gallon of milk.

Brushing teeth before surgery is acceptable. However, make sure that no water or toothpaste is ingested. This can cause vomiting during surgery.

The lungs are actually composed of a series of tubes. The first is the trachea, which brings air from your mouth and nose to inside of your chest (in an area known as the thorax). The trachea splits into two tubes called the bronchi, in which one of each goes to the actual tissue that we call the lungs. From there the bronchi split in a treelike fashion into smaller tubes called bronchioles, which in turn split again and again and get smaller and smaller. The terminal point of each bronchiole is a small sac like structure called an alveolus, which is the primary location of gas exchange within the lungs. Each alveolus is surrounded by a small capillary from the bloodstream which has a thin wall that is only one cell layer thick, allowing for easy exchange of oxygen and carbon monoxide molecules across the membrane.

A surgeon may have to pin or screw the patella back in place due to being broken or fractured. It depends on the severity of the injury. The patella injury may consist of a single crack across the kneecap or it may be broken in several places. Sometimes, a forceful contraction of the Quadriceps muscles can be enough to cause a fracture of the patella; a horizontal crack across the knee cap.

Depending on the surgery

The time is takes to recover from spinal surgery varies from person to person. It depends on how long one stays in the hospital as well as rehab. The average recovery time can be anywhere from 4-12 weeks.

Gallbladders are not usually fixed but are usually removed instead. One of the most common problems with the gallbladder is the formation of gallstones and once that happens, it is likely to happen again. Gallstones can cause a significant amount of pain and can pose an infection risk if left untreated which is why general surgeons will typically remove them with a surgery known as a cholecystectomy. If you want to see what a cholecystectomy looks like (I urge those without a strong stomach not to do this) you can youtube surgical videos showing how the gallbladder is removed from a patient. It's a very commonly done procedure.

If your willing to be dedicated with Bracing, it can correct it over time. Bracing helps tremendously with the rib flaring, but it definitely depends on the type of brace that you use. An orthotic company called LaceIT has a brace specifically for it, and I have heard very good reviews about it from Pectus Excavatum sufferers.

Most of the time yes, but unless things have changed people such as Black Americans don't have a good success rate of plastic surgery and scar easily (usually a very light scar on the skin.) Many people with bad scars have them removed and the only way you can find out if you are a good candidate is to make an appointment with a very good plastic surgeon. Just don't pick anyone! Ask around or ask your doctor.

Surely this should be a question that you need to ask your own doctor or consultant? Nothing would be better than the opinion of a medical professional.
