Body sculpting can make amazing changes to your body and self image!
Liposuction/liposculpture can make amazing changes to your body. Liposuclpture implies sculpting
body areas by aspirating fat through small inconspicous incisions.
Body sculpting refers to a group of procedures designed to tighten skin as well as to remove fat. These
include breast lift, tummy tucks, inner thigh and buttock lifts.
Liposculpture is performed using local anesthesia and (toumescent) saline solution is infused
through tiny incisions to liquefy the fat and decrease bleeding. A 3 mm cannula is used to smoothly remove the fat and
sculpt the desired areas. Minimal pain and bruising allow you to return to exercise and work in 2-3 days. You begin to notice
changes in one week. A compression garment is worn for one month. Two months after the procedure you will have
achieved most of the improvement.
Areas treated will not be problems again.
Improving your eating and exercise habits will impove your contour. Often a lipo procedure will
motivate you to take better care of yourself. You deserve to look and feel great!
STEM CELL FAT INJECTIONS
In the news is the discovery that within the harvest of fat cells during liposuction stem cells exist.
When correctly processd stem cells will survive when injected with fat. These cells release growth factors which stimulate
survival of fat and other cells.
Injection into the buttocks permits longterm enlargement and reshaping without silcone implants. Advances
in digital mammography permits differentiation of fat injection induced calcifications from malignant ones making this the
procedure of choice for women with breast assymetries or those looking for a one cup size enlargement.
TUMMY TUCK
Occaisionally the belly and inner thigh skin are looser than we would like it to be. In these
cases a tummy tuck or thigh lift is appropriate. Loose skin and fat are trimmed. The remaining skin is advanced into the bikini
line or thigh crease. Stretch marks and scars extending above the belly button are improved by removing the excess stretched
skin below the belly button. Typically post operative pain is mild: healing takes 1 to 2 weeks. Significant improvements can
be seen by this time, and scars hidden in the bikini line fade over 4 to 12 months. Please feel free to contact
us to make an appointment to evaluate your needs.
I am excited about the
availability of new technology for lipolysis (ISlim Lipo). Cold lasers and ultrasound provide external energy
to disrupt fat cells thereby reducing bulges up to 40%. This is accomplished in two weekly sessions for for
weeks. Non-invasive without downtime and minimal swelling make these very desirable for patients who
will not venture a liposuction Injection of fat disoloving phosphatidyl choline can reduce smaller areas of
fat accumulations. Small collections of fat of the lower eyelids, abdomen, thighs, hips, neck, and back can be improved with
a series of two to three sessions. Bruising, swelling and soreness resolve in one to two weeks. Contact us for more information.
