Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
What is a Tummy Tuck?
Removal of skin and fat from the abdomen, along with tightening of the abdominal wall at the muscle level.
Why do I want a Tummy Tuck?
The Tummy Tuck addresses loose excess skin or fat that is not responding to exercise, the effects of pregnancy on the body, or loose abdominal wall structure due to aging.
Who is an Ideal candidate for a Tummy Tuck?
Healthy with no major comorbidities, non-diabetic, non-smoker, able to ascend two flights of stairs, tolerant of general anesthesia, and able to take two weeks off.
Describe the procedure
A bikini-line incision is made, depending on the amount of excess skin, a tiny incision may also be made around the belly-button. An ellipse of skin and fat is removed from the lower abdomen, and the skin above is pulled downward, while the belly button is placed in an aesthetic and youthful fashion.
What is the Recovery Period Like?
Generally 2-3 weeks. Absorbable sutures are used, and a drain may be utilized to facilitate healing. Pain is managed by oral medication and numbing injections in the deep muscle layer. This allows for a faster return to physical activity and reduces the need for narcotics.
Additional considerations?
- Combine with liposuction of flank or back to achieve a more sculpted look. Good procedure for people who have experienced massive weight loss.
- Patients looking to simply remove loose skin may be a candidate for a “Mini-Tuck” or a skin-only Tummy Tuck, which does not require muscle tightening. This procedure can be performed wide awake.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
The Brazilian Butt Lift is the gold standard when it comes to increasing the volume of the buttocks and creating attractive, shapely hips. BBL’s also address hip dips, which are depressions that form due to loss of fat from the outer thigh region with aging. Nothing compares to the sculpted physique resulting from a BBL.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for a BBL?
Ideal candidates must have sufficient fat to harvest for injection into the thighs or hips – fat can be obtained from various areas on the body and will then be purified and injected through tiny incisions which are hidden in the bikini line or natural skin indentations. Non-smokers who can tolerate 1-2 hours of general anesthesia.
Recovery Period/Results Expectations?
Healing takes approximately 3 months, but the majority of patients will see results within 1 month. Patients must avoid sitting on the buttocks or hips for 2 weeks to allow injected fat the highest chance for optimal results. Walking is required every other hour while awake, every day post-surgery. Sitting requires an elevated airlifted cushion. Massages twice a week for at least one month will assist with removal of fluids from surgery. Expect a dramatic, but natural increase in volume and noticeable change in shapeliness with this procedure.
Additional considerations?
While fat stores are essential, patients with lower weight should still have a consultation to determine candidacy. Mild and temporary diet modification can help with achieving adequate fat stores for candidacy. Procedure can be combined with breast augmentation and tummy tuck.
Mommy Make-Over (Breast + Body)
What is a Mommy Make-Over?
The Mommy Make-Over is an incredibly popular surgery which combines a breast procedure with a tummy or trunk procedure. This combination of two procedures results in a stunning and aesthetic change in overall body shape and proportion.
Who is an Ideal Candidate?
Women that are post-pregnancy or at a point in life where they are looking for a complete remodeling of their trunk in one procedure, are able to tolerate 3-4 hours of general anesthesia, and can take 2-3 weeks off of work.
What is the Recovery Period Like?
No lifting over 5 lbs, no laying flat or sleeping on the breasts. Light activity is ok. Drains are typically utilized for the tummy tuck, and are removed within 1-2 weeks. Major recovery occurs during the first 2-3 weeks and final results are seen in approximately 3 months.
