失眠的原因

生活習慣

咖啡、茶、吸煙和睡前飲酒都會影響睡眠，而睡眠時間不規律或輪班工作，亦是導致失眠的原因之一。

環境影響

週圍的噪音、室內温度過高或過低，又或者寢室過份光亮，都可以干擾睡眠。

身體狀況

根據研究顯示，大約有三成長期失眠患者，會在睡眠中出現窒息及肌肉抽搐等原發性睡眠病症。其他身體不適，例如關節炎、胸口痛、月經、頭痛、熱紅潮等，亦會影響睡眠。

心理因素

長期失眠之最常見因為抓鬱症及精神緊張，同時，很多潛在的心理因素亦會導致失眠，例如不愉快的經歷，過度懼怕失眠等。

如果在過去一個月內，您的睡眠多次出現問題，又或者已經影響到日常工作的話，您應該考慮向您的耳鼻喉醫生查詢。

Blepharoplasty- Brief anatomy

Description

Blepharoplasty is the name of the surgery to improve the appearance and/or function of the eyelids.

Brief anatomy

The aesthetic appearance of the eyes and the vision can be affected in time by aging, environmental (sun, pollution) and genetic factors. Laxity of eyelid skin, muscles and excess fat tissue around the eyes lead to the settlement of wrinkles and eye bags on the eyelids, giving a tired look for the patient.

General information on the procedure

Eyelid surgery is a procedure to remove excess skin and pockets of fat from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can lift drooping upper lids and reduce the puffy eye bags that form below your eyes. Consequently, eyelid surgery dramatically improves the appearance of tired, droopy eyes and gives a rejuvenated appearance to the surrounding area of your eyes.

This procedure can be done alone or in conjunction with other plastic facial surgery procedures such as a brow lift, and/or a facelift.

Wrinkle Reduction Treatment- Postop instructions

A hospital stay may or may not be needed following forehead lift surgery. The best environment for recovery will be determined by the preferences of both the patient and his doctor. Recovery varies from patient to patient and it is advisable to take it easy for the first week after surgery.

Your surgeon will apply a dressing to your face and head to protect your wounds, keep the tissue in the proper place during recovery and to help with swelling. The day after the surgery, the dressing will be replaced with elastic wrap to be kept in place at all times for a few days; then you will be asked to wear it at bedtime only for about a week. Initially after the procedure, patients can expect tenderness and swelling around the incision areas. The tenderness and swelling fade with time and usually subside after the first 10 days.

 After the operation you will be instructed to keep your head elevated and use cold compresses for several days. In case of excessive pain, redness, pus or other symptoms that do not appear normal, you will be advised to contact your surgeon immediately. Staples and sutures are usually removed after 2-7 days. Patients generally feel well enough to resume normal activities around the tenth day of recovery. Strenuous activities should be avoided for about three weeks.

Face Lift : Postop Instructions

The patient may be dismissed home after adequate recovery, typically the same day or the day following the surgical procedure. The dressing is changed the morning after surgery, incision lines should be kept moist with an ointment for 10 days, and a 5 day course of oral antibiotics is completed.


The patient is instructed to regularly clean and moisten the incision lines, to cool the face with ice and to wear a commercial Velcro compression dressing for one week day and night and an additional week just at night. Sutures are removed 5 to 7 days after surgery. The patient is asked to limit physical activity for 10-14 days and to minimize sun exposure for six months.


Make-Up may be worn after 10-14 days, at which time the patient is typically healed enough to return to work. Regular follow-up visits are scheduled until healing has taken place. Visits at 3 months and 1 year postoperatively complete the early postoperative care.

Face lift Operation

The deep plane face lift is typically performed under general anaesthesia. It is the author's impression that postoperative recovery is optimized and nausea is avoided if total intravenous anaesthesia is administered. A 5-10 mm incision under the chin allows access for a 3mm liposuction cannula. Smooth and even liposuction reduces fullness of the neck.


A weak spot in the wide muscle of the neck is sutured together to remove the "double chin" appearance. The incisions are well hidden and are placed on the inside of the ear canal (retrotragal line), then behind the ear into the hair. These incision lines are specifically designed so that the hair can be worn in any style. For male face lifts, the line of incision may be altered to preserve the location of the side burns. In order to create a youthful appearance, a number of structures deep to the skin are repositioned.


These include the fat pad of the cheek and the muscles of the neck and face. Without tension, the facial skin is then very carefully draped over the repositioned soft tissues, the hairline is aligned and the excess skin is removed. Meticulous layered closure with fine suture material minimizes scar formation of the well hidden incisions.
