Technology Innovation in Plastic Surgery Conference
June 23rd, 2011
I just returned from the Technology Innovation in Plastic Surgery Conference that was held in San Francisco this past weekend. Presentations from physicians and industry scientists outlined recent and anticipated advancements in plastic surgery. The field of cosmetic surgery is poised to change dramatically in the next five years.
Discussions at the medical conference focused on several new techniques and technologies. Some of the innovations involved fat graft injections, biofilms, non-invasive fat reduction and skin tightening. Of these, I believe that fat grafting will make the most significant changes. I will be discussing all these topics and their implications to my practice in upcoming blogs.
Mini Nipntuck Tummy-tuck
June 16th, 2011
A mini-tummy tuck is a procedure especially designed for women who do not need the more extensive muscle repair of a full tummy tuck. The mini-nipntuck takes advantage of the less invasive liposuction technique to decrease the “muffin top†bulge. Secondly, excision of extra skin helps to smooth out the stomach, improving the appearance of a protruding tummy. Women with bothersome C-section scars also benefit from this new specialized procedure.
Recovery is much quicker than that of a traditional abdominoplasty and patients usually resume their normal activities within three to five days.
