Combination Skin: This skin type is used to specifically describe facial skin that has both dry and oily patches. Most commonly, combination skin exhibits an oily “T-Zone” (forehead, nose and chin) with dry skin on cheeks and around eyes. It is not uncommon for these oily zones to be reversed. If you have this skin type, you will need to purchase skin care products made especially for combination skin.

A Skin Care Routine For Men Now that you know what kind of skin you have, and you’ve purchased skin care products to accommodate your skin type, how do you know what to do with them. Many men have a fitness regime, a financial plan, and a daily schedule. But mention a skin care routine and they run for hills. Skin care is not just for women. In fact, men who exercise regularly are prone to having more skin problems than women who do same. That’s because you’re stretching your skin, not cleansing it properly, and not protecting it from elements such as sweat, sun, and wind. But don’t worry; taking care of your skin doesn’t have to mean spending hours in bathroom. It just means establishing a simple routine to keep your skin looking and feeling its best.

1.Wash: Sure you take a shower in morning before work, but do you take time to wash your face as well? (with products made for your skin type?) Gently wash your face twice a day. In morning, facial cleansing will remove any perspiration and debris from sleeping and at end of day it will get rid of sweat and pollutants that have accumulated on your face throughout day. Use a all-natural herbal soap. 2.Tone: If you have dry or sensitive skin, skip this step. Toners are usually alcohol based and may irritate these skin types. But normal, oily, and combination skin can benefit from extra cleansing and pH restoration of a alcohol free toning product. 3.Moisturize: Hydrate your face with a quality, skin-type appropriate moisturizer such as “Parfait Visage”. And if you spend any time in sun at all, choose a moisturizer that includes a sun block of at least SPF 15. This will protect your skin from sun and save you hassle of remembering to apply another product.

* Infections happen after any surgery and some physicians prescribe an antibiotic to patients having liposuction so it is important to keep wound clean. Infections may be life threatening such as necrotizing fasciitis (bacteria eating away tissue) or toxic shock syndrome caused by bacteria associated with surgery.

* Embolism occurs when tiny globules of fat trapped in blood stream blocks blood flow to tissue. This may cause permanent disability. Signs of pulmonary embolism are shortness of breath or difficulty of breathing.

* Drug reactions or overdose from lidocaine is fatal. Lidocaine is a drug that numbs skin and large doses of this is used during liposuction. The effects of lidocaine are lightheadedness, restlessness, drowsiness, slurred speech, muscle twitching, and convulsions. Overdose of this drug may cause heart to stop which is naturally fatal.

* Burns caused by ultrasound probe during ultrasound assisted liposuction.

* Visceral perforations or puncture wounds in organs may require another surgery and can be fatal. During liposuction, physician does not see where probe (canula) is, so it is possible to harm internal organs.

* Skin death (skin necrosis) occurs when skin changes color and fall off. This may also cause infection.

* Paresthesias is an altered sensation at site of liposuction. This may be in form of increased sensitivity in area or loss of feeling. Some cases of this are permanent.

* Swelling

* Death

Given that surgery had no major complications, recovery from liposuction can still be difficult.

The liposuctioned area appears larger than before because of swelling.

Special compression garments must be worn for two to three weeks to reduce swelling, bleeding, and to help contour new body. The patient starts to feel better after a week or two after liposuction.

Walking is recommended after liposuction to prevent blood clots forming in legs. Finally, exercise and diet will help keep your new shape.
