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 proceedure will
motivate you to take better care of yourself. You deserve to look and feel great!
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 new research
with lipolysis. Injection of fat disoloving phosphatidyl choline can reduce smaller areas of soft fat accumulations. Small
collections of fat of the 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. As we gain more experience with this technique greater results will ensue.
