Body Contouring Surgery

What You Need To Know About Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, and Arm & Thigh Lift Surgery

Body-sculpting or contouring is an effective technique that may offer patients a new two-fold benefit.  Nipntuck Naturalâ„¢  is my specialized fat grafting procedure in which aspirated (liposuction) fat tissue is first taken from your donor site, then carefully injected someplace else.  Typical donor sites for women include areas of the abdomen, buttocks or flanks.   Excess fat is removed by traditional liposuction and/or liposcultpture, but now the fat can be harvested for fat grafting.  The regenerative properties of fat cells offer additional advantages to liposuction alone.  In addition, the technique is also effective in treating asymmetry of the breast or for creating Implant-free fuller breasts.

These new advances in anti-aging have marked a steady rise in the popularity of fat grafting in my practice.   More of my patients chose body contouring combined with fat grafting, following their consultations to evaluate their options for cosmetic surgery.   Quick recuperation, along with an added benefit of liposuction using their harvested fat cells is quite appealing to patients.  Regenerative medicine is offering exciting changes in the way we practice medicine today.

• Liposuction

Liposuction, also known as lipo, lipo-sculpture, body sculpting, or fat removal reduces isolated fat collections. This procedure enhances your figure and physique and restores a more youthful appearance. Fat is carefully removed from selected areas, thus giving a smoother look and feel. Many women and men choose liposuction to balance out their figure or eliminate trouble areas. Liposuction is popular with both women and men to better balance out their figure or to eliminate trouble areas.

• Tummy Tuck

Tummy tuck surgery, also referred to as abdominoplasty, dermatolipectomy, body sculpting, belt lift, or abdominal tightening, reduces abdominal protrusion. A combination of liposuction, surgical skin removal, and/or muscle tightening technology is used based on the preoperative abdominal appearance. Men and women with protruding abdomens due to extra skin and fat and weakened muscles, generally due to pregnancies and/or weight loss, turn to tummy tuck surgery as a way to restore a more natural appearance to their abdomens and improve their appearance.

• Arm Lift

Arm lift surgery (dermatolipectomy or brachioplasty) minimizes sagging of the arms. Liposuction and skin removal procedures are combined based on your specific preoperative appearance. People with sagging skin, especially after weight loss and aging, turn to arm lift surgery as a way to improve self-confidence and restore a more natural appearance that is in proportion with the body. It is important to note that with arm surgery, you will need to take some time off from work and strenuous activity so that you can make a safe and full recovery.

• Thigh Lift

Thigh lift surgery or dermatolipectomy, butt tuck, or butt lift, reduces sagging of the thighs and buttocks. Liposuction and skin removal procedures are combined based on the appearance of the thighs before surgery. Individuals with sagging, dimpled skin due to cellulite, particularly after weight loss or aging opt for thigh lift surgery as it can improve how clothing fits and looks as well as restores more natural body proportions.
