Body contouring is a series of plastic surgery operations, which can be divided into two groups, lower body lift and upper body lift. The lower body lift deals with your abdomen thighs and buttocks. Upper body lift is complementary to the lower body lift and it deals with breast and upper arms.

Sweden Body Contouring - Operation Process
During the surgery usually the abdomen is treated first, because it is the area with the most excess of skin and fat. A horizontal incision is made above the pubic area, through which the extra fat is removed and the muscles are tightened. In some cases liposuction is performed to remove extra fat. Thighs and butt are treated by the same principle. The operation lasts from 4-7 hours and performed under general anesthesia. Sometimes additional procedures are done during the same operation; those include breast lift, arm lift or inner thigh lift. Arm lift is done by placing an incision from the armpit to the elbow and by removing extra fat and skin. The excess fat from the inner thigh is removed by liposuction, the incision usually made between the groin and the upper thigh.
Sweden Body Contouring - Risks
Every procedure has its ricks. The most common complication of body lift is seroma formation. Other complications such as bleeding, infection or blood clots are relatively rare. The scars never completely disappear, but they fade with time and change their size. This can take several months until the scars take their final appearance.
Sweden Body Contouring - Healing
This is a serious plastic surgery procedure, which takes some time to heal. Many people require 4-6 weeks before returning to their daily activities. You shouldn't exercise or lift heavy weight 6-8 weeks. The swelling usually completely disappears after 3 month. It is important to wear special garments to assure proper healing.

- NICE has issued a Final Appraisal Determination (FAD) on coronary artery stents for ischaemic heart disease. The appeal period for this appraisal will close on 15 February 2008.
The preliminary recommendations are that drug-eluting stents (DES) are recommended for use in percutaneous coronary intervention for the treatment of coronary artery disease, within their instructions for use, only if the target artery to be treated has less than a 3mm calibre or the lesion is longer than 15mm, and the price difference between DES and bare-metal stents is no more than £300.
The FAD notes that following data published in 2006, the FDA’s Circulatory Devices Systems Advisory Panel had recommended that the duration of clopidogrel use should be extended in patients receiving a DES. In addition, the American College of Cardiologists/American Heart Association PCI guidelines (also endorsed by the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography Interventions and the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society) have recommended that for patients receiving DES, the duration of clopidogrel use should be increased to at least 12 months, after which time continuation of clopidogrel should be reviewed taking into account the risk for further events on an individual patient basis.
