Surgery of the Abdomen (Abdominoplasty or "Tummy Tuck")

Generally referred to as a "tummy tuck," abdominoplasty removes excess fat skin and from the abdomen. The procedure also helps to flatten the abdomen by tightening the surrounding muscles. Women with stretched abdominal areas due to previous pregnancies can benefit considerably from abdominoplasty, although they should have completed their childbearing. Older individuals whose skin has lost some its elasticity and are slightly obese can experience an improvement in their abdominal area.

If you are in generally good physical shape but are concerned about abdominal fat deposits or loose skin that does not respond to diet and exercise, the procedure can potentially reduce or even eliminate a protruding abdomen. Abdominoplasty can produce a permanent scar which can possibly extend to both sides of your hips, although the scar will likely be located below the bikini or bathing suit line.

Liposuction (Lipoplasy / Suction Lipectomy)

Now among the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures, liposuction (also known as "lipoplasty" or "suction lipectomy") sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat from areas around the thighs, knees, buttocks, waist, hips, abdomen, chin, cheeks, neck and upper arms. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL), tumescent technique and the super-wet technique are are among the various techniques used to provide precise results.

Liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise, but the procedure can eliminate areas of fat that are unresponsive to typical weight-loss methods.

Vaser

All bodies are not created equal. For most of us, stubborn fatty deposits attach themselves to our hips, circle around our bellies, cling to our thighs, and even appear on our arms, backs, and chins. You've likely identified problem areas on your own that persist despite your diet and exercise efforts. If you've ever considered liposuction and thought it was to drastic, you may want to consider a new procedure that is transforming the body-sculpting patient experience.

It’s called VASER LipoSelection®. These days, patients are turning to this advanced procedure to combat their “trouble spots”, especially those that may be genetic “gifts” or are seemingly resistant to the hours spent at the gym. By delivering consistent results with minimal pain and down time,VASER LipoSelection is becoming the new standard of care for body contouring.

The key to the VASER LipoSelection difference is tissue selectivity, provided by a patented device called the VASER® System. Simply put, traditional liposuction procedures are limited by their inability to differentiate between the bad (excess fat) and the good (nerves, blood vessels, connective tissues, etc.). While traditional procedures do remove fat, a considerable amount of damage can be done to other important tissues. This can cause bleeding, bruising, and swelling, and lead to a longer recovery. In addition, damaged collagen and connective tissues can compromise the final shape, leaving behind lumps and bumps where uneven amounts of fat have been removed. Ultrasound energy employed by the VASER System ruptures fat cells
on contact, while minimally disturbing important tissues vital to optimal recovery and consistent results.

Only VASER technology provides the tissue selective LipoSelection procedure, which targets fatty deposits while minimally disturbing the rest of the tissue matrix. As a result,VASER LipoSelection patients consistently report low to minimal pain, bruising, swelling, and down time. Physicians report consistent, predictable results and an enhanced ability to sculpt and contour a patient’s physique. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities in a matter of days.
