LiposculptureReshape your body For many people, excess fat in areas throughout the face and body is virtually impossible to eliminate through diet or even the most rigorous exercise regimen. Liposculpture, also know as liposuction or lipoplasty, is a procedure that removes localized collections of fatty tissue to create a slimmer and shapelier body contour.
This procedure can slim the hips and thighs, remove fat from the under-arms, flatten the abdomen, eliminate a double chin and contour the face or neck.Go to Photo Gallery
Fat transferCreating a better shape After removing fatty tissue to create a slimmer body, fat can be transfered to other areas to correct skin defects such as deep furrows and wrinkles on the face, or to reshape hips and buttocks. Fat transfer procedures are combined with liposuction; fat is collected from one part of the body where excess exists and then placed in another part of the body where the additional volume is needed.
Since fat transfer uses your own fat cells, you can never have an allergic reaction, because it's from your own body. That's why fat transfer procedures are safe and convenient; there are no allergic reactions or rejection by the body, as there are no implants.Go to Photo Gallery
Tummy TuckGet a firm and flat abdomenA tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, removes excess abdominal skin and may also reduce fat and tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall, creating a flatter abdomen.
The procedure is frequently performed to correct the muscle weakness and loose skin that occur after pregnancy or significant weight loss. This procedure may be combined with liposculpture to achieve the best results.Go to Photo Gallery
Thigh LiftGet leaner legsMany patients desire toned, slender, shapely legs that are extremely difficult to obtain through even the most rigorous exercise regimen. Sometimes, exercise is not enough to lose the desired circumference, fatty tissue and cellulite.
Thighs are slightly cone shaped with the narrowest aspect just bellow the knee and the widest just below the groin. However, thighs can present with both vertical and horizontal excess, or loose, saggy skin that stretches in both directions.
The surgical thigh lift will lift and tighten the sagging skin of the inner thigh. In massive weight loss patients thigh lifts are usually performed after a belt lipectomy, but this is not always the case.Go to Photo Gallery
Arm LiftGet leaner armsAs a person ages, upper arm skin can become loose. Most of the patients with upper arm excess have been overweight and have lost a significant amount of it, leading to a deflation of the upper arm. Unfortunately upper arm skin most often will not contract after massive weight loss.
An arm lift (brachioplasty) can remove the excess skin and fat deposits, leaving the upper arms with a more pleasing and youthful contour.Go to Photo Gallery
Body LiftReshape your bodyThe body lift or 'Belt Lipectomy' could be thought of as 'a face-lift for the trunk'. This procedure removes the sagging skin from the lower body, especially when the excess is circumferential, involving the belly, hips, back, buttocks and outer thighs.
This procedure is also known as circumferential lipectomy, lower body lift or belt lipectomy. This surgery is especially indicated and gives the most benefits to post massive weight loss patients.Go to Photo Gallery
Body Contouring After Massive Weight LossReshape your lifeAfter bariatric surgery, patients are able to enjoy not only significant weight loss but also greater mobility, relief of symptoms and a lower risk of weight-related diseases.
Unfortunately, skin hangs loose over the slimmer body. Body contouring is a combination of reconstructive and cosmetic procedures that reduces the excess skin and fat that is left behind after the expansion of skin, loss of fat and lack of tissue elasticity.
If you're considering a body contouring procedure, Perfecta is definitely the best choice for you, as both of our surgeons are highly trained in this particular field.
Dr. Munro-Wilson completed a surgical Fellowship in "Body Contouring After Massive Weight Loss" with the World-recognized experts Dr. Al Aly and Dr. Albert E. Cram at Iowa City Plastic Surgery. On the other hand, Dr. Dignowity trained extensively under Dr. Dirk Richter, Europe's greatest authority in post bariatric surgery based in Wesseling, Germany.Go to Photo Gallery
