Liposuction / Tummy Tuck / Body Contouring

Liposuction

• Ultrasonic

• No ultrasonic

Liposuction can be with or without use of ultrasound. We use both those procedures on appropriate patients.
Despite good health and reasonable level of fitness, some people may still have a body with disproportionate contours due to localized fat deposits. These areas may be due to family traits rather than a lack of weight control or fitness. Liposuction slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits, improving your body contours and proportion, and ultimately, enhancing your self-image.

Which parts of the body can be treated?

Thighs Hips and buttocks Abdomen and waist Upper arms Back Inner knee Chest area Cheeks, chin and neck Calves and ankles

Procedural steps:

Step 1 - Anesthesia
Medications are administrated for your comfort during the surgical procedures. The choice include intravenous sedation and general anesthesia. Your doctor will recommend the best choice for you.

Step 2 - The incision
Liposuction is performed through small, inconspicuous incisions. First, sterile liquid solution is infused to reduce bleeding and trauma. Then a thin hollow tube, or cannula, is inserted through these incisions to loosen excess fat using a controlled back and forth motion. This dislodged fat is then suctioned out of the body using a surgical
vacuum or syringe attached to the cannula.

Tummy Tuck / Abdominoplasty

Can be done with or without Liposuction at the same time.

Body Lift

A well-toned body with smooth contours often is a sign of fitness achieved by healthy diet and exercise. But exercise can not always achieve desired results for people who have loose, sagging skin and uneven contours. Aging, sun damage, pregnancy and significant fluctuations in weight as well as genetic factors may contribute to poor tissue elasticity and can result in sagging of the abdomen, buttocks, thighs and upper arms.

If you desire a firmer, more youthful looking body contour, then a surgical body lift may help achieve your goals. It improves the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin. Excess sagging fat and skin are removed to treat conditions caused in part by poor tissue elasticity. In addition, the procedure can improve a dimpled, irregular skin surface, commonly known as cellulite. A body lift may include these areas:

• Abdominal area, locally or extending around the sides and into the lower back area

• Buttocks, that may be low, flat or shaped unevenly

• Groin that may sag into the inner thigh

• Thigh, including the inner, outer, or poster thigh, or circumferentially

Procedural steps:

Step 1 - Anesthesia
Medications are administrated for your comfort during the surgical procedures. The choice include intravenous sedation and general anesthesia. Your doctor will recommend the best choice for you.

Step 2 - The incision
Incision length and pattern depend on the amount and location of excess skin to be removed, as well as personal preference and surgical judgment. A complete lower body lift treats the buttocks, abdomen, waist, hips and thighs in one procedure. A circumferential incision around the body removes an apron of excess skin and fat and repositions and tightens tissues.
