BFN also realises that apart from your surgeon the experience of your
anaesthetist is paramount.

RISKS
HAEMATOMA: Regardless of where in the world you have surgery, haematoma
is a risk involved in having surgery.
What are haematomas? Bleeding inside the skin which might require the
surgeon to reopen the incision to stop the bleeding. this will also have
an obvious time effect on how quickly you heal as there would be extra
swelling and bruising.
How can haematomas be avoided after surgery? Using a surgical drain to
remove pus, blood or other body fluids.
DRAINS: After major surgery (Abdominoplasty,Mammoplasty) a surgical
drain is inserted to remove pus, blood or other fluids from a wound.
Drains inserted after surgery do not necessary result in a wound healing
more quickly but are sometimes required to drain body fluid which may
accumulate and become a site for infection.
DVT - Deep Vein Thrombosis: BFN reduce the risk of DVT by insisting their
clients wait an ample amount of time post surgically before flying home.
What is DVT? Deep vein thrombosis is a condition resulting from the
formation of a blood clot thrombus inside a deep vein - commonly located
in the calf or thigh. DVT occurs when the blood clot either partially or
completely block the flow of blood in the vein.
What are the risk factors?
Immobility or bed confinement, we at BFN get you the client within a day
of your surgery gently walking around your private room with assistance.
Smoking. We will advise you to refrain from smoking for a least 1 week
after surgery.
Your return journey. We will give you a sheet of exercises that you can
inconspicously do on your flight home and advise you to walk up and down
the aisle of the plane every 30 minutes.
MRSA. This is undoubtedly a major problem in the UK but by having
surgery with BFN in Northern Cyprus your risks are significantly
reduced.
What is MRSA? Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aeireus, an organism
that is resistant to commonly used antibiotics. The organism
staphylococcus aeireus is found on many individuals skins and causes no
major problems, however if it gets inside the body for instance under
the skin or in to the lungs serious problems such as boils or pneumonia
can occur.
How can we prevent it? As we have said the organism is found on many
individuals so BFN uses preventative action to reduce the risks of MRSA.
