Body Procedures

A variety of procedures and techniques have been developed to help patients achieve a more attractive, balanced, and shapely body contour.

Body contouring procedures can be used to alter the shape of various areas of the body. The results can range from subtle to dramatic, depending the patient's specific needs. The specific procedure and the extent of contouring are among the many issues that your doctor will have to determine in consultation with you.

The following is only a small sampling of the procedures available. For a thorough evaluation of your situation, please contact us.

Smartlipo™

Smartlipo a minimally invasive alternative to traditional liposuction. Smartlipo uses a tiny laser fiber to "zap" away fat permanently. It can be done with local anesthesia, offering a faster recovery. Skin tightening is possible, providing a smoother result.

Acoustic Wave Therapy™ for Cellulite

AWT is a new treatment to smooth the dimpling effect of cellulite. AWT is nonsurgical and noninvasive. It uses acoustic pulses to treat cellulite. Treatments are about a half hour, twice a week for three weeks. Noticeable improvement typically occurs after three to four treatments.

Vaser Liposelection®

Vaser liposelection uses ultrasound to break up fat. It is used in combination with liposuction to aid in the smooth, selective removal of unwanted fat.


Liposuction

Liposuction is a very common, popular procedure used to remove stubborn fat in areas that do not respond to diet and exercise, including hips, thighs, abdomen, knees, ankles, face, neck, buttocks, upper arms, and other areas of the body. Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity. This procedure is effective for removing subcutaneous fat from isolated trouble spots and is best for individuals who are of relatively normal weight and have good skin elasticity. The results of this procedure are permanent. If you gain weight after undergoing this procedure, the fat will be deposited in areas that have not been treated. If you gain a large amount of weight, you might notice rippling in the treated areas, depending on your skin elasticity.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

The tummy tuck is an operation designed to eliminate excess, damaged, or stretched skin from the abdomen, while at the same time removing fat and tightening the abdominal muscles. This procedure is more involved than liposuction surgery which removes just fat. The tummy tuck is often used to correct the stretching of the abdominal muscles and skin such as in women who have been through several pregnancies and in people who have experienced extreme weight gain and weight loss. This procedure is often combined with liposuction to achieve dramatic changes in body shape.
