The advantages of local anaesthetic are not having to starve, recovering quickly, not feeling sick and light-headed and remaining in control at all times. After the operation patients can be up and about straightaway after local anaesthetic but stay in the specialised recovery area for around sixty minutes after a general anaesthetic.

Blepharoplasty/Eyelid Reduction
Ageing of the upper and lower eyelids is normally due to a combination of loose skin and protrusion of fat. This is a common problem and although most patients seeking such surgery are 40 or older, puffy eyes may be a familial trait and patients will seek help at a much younger age. In the upper eyelids ageing causes stretching of the eyelid skin producing a “hooded” appearance. These changes can give the appearance of tiredness and many patients request Cosmetic Surgery for this reason.
Abdominoplasty/Tummy Tuck
The skin and muscles of the anterior abdominal wall are stretched during pregnancy or excessive weight gain. In some people this leaves loose skin and fat which can cause difficulty with clothing and performing sporting activities. Exercise and diet can help to reverse these changes but in some people surgery may be needed to tighten the muscles and remove the excess skin.
The operation is performed through a horizontal incision which is placed very low within the bikini area.
Some ladies may already have the scar of a caesarean section in this area which can be improved and incorporated in the abdominoplasty scar. By strengthening the central muscles of the abdomen it is possible to improve the waist line. This procedure is not a cure for stretch marks although most of the stretch marks below the umbilicus will be removed with the excess skin. This procedure is often done in conjunction with liposuction to remove some excess fat. It should be stressed that this is not an operation which aims to remove fat, but rather one for loose skin.
The precise detail of the proposed surgery does vary between individuals and will be carefully discussed with you at your consultation.
The Tooth and its Surrounding Tissues
Teeth are not solid objects; they have a space at their centre containing blood vessels and nerves called the dentalpulp. This pulptissue nourishes the tooth.
Dental Implants are small, tissue-compatible titanium fixtures, which are inserted into the jawbone. After a period of natural bonding, the implants serve as the ‘root’ anchor for new superstructure crowns bridges or dentures.
Aetiology
The major cause of gingivitis is the accumulation of bacteria at the gum line in the form of a sticky, yellowish film which is called Dental plaque. If left undisturbed, bacterial plaque calcifies to form dental calculus (tartar).
The London Day Surgery Centre has a fully equipped operating theatre suite and relaxing recuperative facilities. We also have state of the art Dental Surgeries for carrying out a variety of oral procedures.

Hair Removal
Over centuries many Laser Hair removal techniques, including waxing, sugaring, threading, plucking, shaving etc, have been developed to deal with this problem. All of these solutions are short term solutions and many bring with them a range of other problems such as in growing hairs, spots and rashes to name but a few.
IPL and Laser Hair Removal works by a process of rapid heating of the hair follicle which destroys the hair shaft and the stem cells therein.
Normal hair grows in three distinct phases:
Anagen—the active growth phase
Catagen—where growth is finished but the hair continues to be nourished
Telogen—when the hair detaches from the papilla and falls out
IPL and LaserHair Removal can only be effective during the anagen phase of hair growth. Because of this, repeated treatments are necessary to clear all hair growth.
Botox Treatment can simply, safely and effectively improve frown lines, forehead creases and crows feet. The procedure can have remarkable results in improving the wrinkles resulting from hyperactive facial muscles.
Botox is such a convenient, controlled and affordable procedure. It can be carried out in a lunch hour and requires no anaesthetic or recovery time. Many patients pop in for a treatment before special occasions!
A Botox Treatment should normally last for about six months and can be repeated when necessary. Most patients find they require less frequent follow-up sessions over time, as their immobilised muscles ‘retrain’ and weaken from disuse – thus becoming unable to create or reinforce frown lines.
Precise, Expert, Surgical Treatment
Tiny amounts of Botox are expertly injected with a very fine needle – to painlessly freeze the facial muscles that cause lines. After the injection, the muscles will relax and the skin will smooth out over a few days. The result is a safer, more relaxed and pleasing appearance.
Botox treatments are often accompanied with the use of Restylane or Dermal ‘fillers’, which will ‘plump up’ the lines between the inactive muscles. Botox can also be very effective in enhancing the results of the N-Lite laser treatment for natural collagen production – and may be used with glycolic peels.
Our expert practitioners will be able to give you complete guidance in all such combination procedures.
Our expertise in today’s modern surgery techniques, combined with our continual investment in the latest state of the art equipment, allows every suitable procedure to be completed on a convenient day-surgery basis.

The London Day Surgery Centre hernias are performed as day cases.
They take less than an hour and can be carried out under local anaesthetic. The advantages of local anaesthetic are not having to starve, recovering quickly, not feeling sick and light-headed and remaining in control at all times. After the operation patients can be up and about straightaway after local anaesthetic but stay in the specialised recovery area for around sixty minutes after a general anaesthetic.
A Hernia is a lump which occurs when part of the bowel or other abdominal tissue protrudes through an area of weakness in the wall of the abdomen. When this occurs in the groin area it is either an ‘inguinal’ hernia or a femoral Hernia but Hernias can also occur at or near the umbilicus and in old abdominal scars. We repair all types of Abdominal Hernia at the London Day Surgery except Hiatus Hernia which is an internal hernia.
The Operation
In the repair operation the hernia sac is pushed back through the gap in the muscles into its proper place inside the abdomen and the gap is reinforced by non-tension mesh. This is a sheet of material which looks a bit like nylon curtain but is far stronger. All the skin stitches are absorbable and do not require removal. The mesh remains for ever, becoming tough scar tissue, holding the hernia back.
It will be necessary to rest for a while after the repair and you will be given painkiller tablets as required. You will very soon be encouraged to get out of bed and move about. This may be uncomfortable but it will not cause any damage and it will speed-up your recovery.
You will be able to go home within an hour or so of the end of the operation if it was under a local anaesthetic or from your recovery time, which varies from patient to patient, if you had a general. If you have a general anaesthetic you must have a friend or relative to take you home and stay with you till at least the next morning but you may also wish this after a local.

Varicose Veins
Varicose Veins are swollen veins (usually on the legs) that look lumpy and bluish through the skin. They occur when the valves in the veins become weak, allowing blood to collect in the leg veins instead of travelling back to the heart. At the London Day Surgery we offer a number of options for removing Varicose Veins in Legs and restoring a smoother appearance to your legs:-
ELVES/ELVT
Laser ablation (“ELVeS”,”EVLT”) is a new non-surgical way of treating Varicose Veins which has been developed over the past five years at centres in USA, Spain and Germany. It is performed as an outpatient “walk in, walk out” procedure with no requirement for general anaesthetic or overnight stays in hospital.
The laser treatment involves the insertion of a laser fibre into the varicose vein of the thigh from the knee to the groin using ultrasound imaging to guide the way. The laser fibre is then withdrawn along the vein, heating it from within to close it, using local anaesthetic to minimise discomfort. The treatment session lasts in the region of one hour.
Our expertise in today’s modern surgery techniques, combined with our continual investment in the latest state of the art equipment, allows every suitable procedure to be completed on a convenient day-surgery basis.
