The Ulster Independent Clinic provides comprehensive treatment specifically tailored to your needs and diagnosis. Our specialists possess the knowledge and experience to perform complex procedures.

Dupuytren's Release with Skin Grafting/Flaps

The Ulster Independent Clinic’s innovative Dupuytren’s release procedure coupled with skin grafts or flaps offers hope to those dealing with this debilitating condition. The process involves removing or breaking apart the thickened tissue in the hand, followed by the use of skin grafts or flaps to promote the healing process and restore the functionality of the hand.

Brow Lifts

This procedure smooths out lines and creases in the forehead while raising brows that have dropped or become hooded over time.

Process involved with plastic surgery

Getting ready for a plastic surgery procedure at the Ulster Independent Clinic is a multi-step process that involves consultation, preparation, the procedure itself, and post-surgery recovery. Let's break that down further:

Consultation

The first step is always an in-depth consultation with your consultant. This is your opportunity to discuss your expectations, potential risks, and the desired outcome. Use this time to ask questions and address any concerns. The consultant will also evaluate your health history and current physical state to determine the best approach for your treatment.

How to Prepare for Plastic Surgery

Preparing for plastic surgery at Ulster Independent Clinic is an essential step to ensure your procedure's success and ease your recovery. This process generally involves three key areas: medical, lifestyle, and mental preparations.

Medical Preparations

Your consultant will likely require a pre-operative examination or tests to verify your health before proceeding. This might include blood tests and, in certain circumstances, cardiac or other specialised health screenings. Adherence to your surgeon's medication guidance is important, especially if adjustments in your regular medication regimen are needed.

Lifestyle Preparations

Both smoking and heavy drinking can complicate surgery and the healing process, so you'll be asked to stop these at least a few weeks before your surgery. You should also aim to maintain a healthy diet and regular exercise routine - this isn't the time for major weight changes. The night before, you generally need to fast - this usually means no food or drink after midnight.

Mental Preparations

Preparing mentally is just as essential. It's natural to experience a range of emotions - excitement, nervousness, or apprehension - before undergoing surgery. Perhaps discuss any concerns or anxieties with your surgeon during your consultation. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of what to expect during and after the procedure can help alleviate any stress or worry you may be feeling.

Remember, our staff at Ulster Independent Clinic are dedicated to helping you through every step of this journey. Ensuring you feel informed, prepared, and as comfortable as possible is our top priority.
