Abdominoplasty “Tummy Tuck”
A protuberant abdomen can be the result of excess fat, weak abdominal muscles, or loose skin. Often these conditions do not respond to diet and exercise. Abdominoplasty is performed to correct the protuberant abdomen which is caused by skin excess and muscle weakness. The stretch marks, loose skin, and fatty deposits which are located between the umbilicus (belly button) and the pubic hairline are removed during abdominoplasty. The muscles of the abdominal wall are plicated, giving the body a tighter contour.
Liposuction is ideal for people with areas of stubborn fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. These contour deformities can be sculpted to match the surrounding body by suctioning unwanted fat cells. Liposuction results in the permanent removal of fatty tissue. The most common areas treated by liposuction are the abdomen, hips, thighs, love handles, back, knees, upper arms, and chin.
Loose skin of the arms can often result from extreme weight loss. This condition does not respond to diet and exercise. Brachioplasty is performed to correct the skin excess and improve the contours of the arms.
Breast augmentation can be used to improve the contours and size of the breasts. In people with small degrees of sagging, it can achieve a minor lift. Breast augmentation can also balance differences in breast size from right to left, correct a reduction in breast volume which has occurred after pregnancy, and improve the appearance of underdeveloped breasts.
Breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) is for the woman who is uncomfortable with her large, heavy breasts. The problems associated with large breasts can include back pain, neck pain, grooving and pain in the shoulders, a rash under the breasts, difficulty finding clothing that fits, and an inability to participate in sporting activities. Large, heavy breasts may also contribute to poor posture. Excessive breast size may also lead to a decreased sense of attractiveness and self-confidence. The goal of breast reduction is to create a more attractive breast contour, which is in proportion to the rest of the body.
Breast lift is used to relieve sagging (ptosis), which is a common consequence of breast-feeding, pregnancy, and the gravitational effects of aging. This operation restores the position of the breasts and gives them a more youthful appearance.
Eyes are a prominent facial feature. It is the surrounding skin, rather than the eyes themselves, that conveys emotion. The tissue, muscle, fat, hair, and lashes all contribute to the wide array of expressions. Age, sun exposure, and hereditary factors all contribute to wrinkles, deep lines, and puffiness around the eyes.
Neck and chin (submental) liposuction is ideal for people with an area of stubborn fat under the chin that does not respond to diet and exercise. These contour deformities can be sculpted to match the surrounding face by suctioning unwanted fat cells. Liposuction results in the permanent removal of fatty tissue.
