PREMIERE Center for Cosmetic Surgery offers both procedures and can help you determine which one would be right for you. Liposuction is a minimally invasive way to lose a few inches of fat around your tummy. Performed under anesthesia, liposuction only requires a small incision. One of our physicians will use a cannula (a small suction device) to “vacuum” fat deposits from around your midsection. Due to the small size of the cannula, your surgeon can remove fat with precision to better enhance the curves and contours of your figure.But Smartlipo laser liposuction is often an excellent option for someone with good muscle tone, with some skin laxity and stretch marks, and who has some stubborn belly fat. Dr. Johnson is a specialist in SmartLipo, and patients from Kennwick, Missoula, Moses Lake, and other regional areas visit Advanced Aesthetics for the incredible results that he can create. Welcome to Advanced Aesthetics.
What is a tummy tuck? A tummy tuck is a major cosmetic surgery procedure that is designed specifically to tighten up the entire abdominal area, removing excess skin and eliminating the puckering and stretchmarks that make many patients feel self-conscious. Tummy tucks are available as full and partial procedure. In a full tummy tuck the entire abdomen is addressed while in a partial tuck, our surgeon will focus on improving only the area that sits below your belly button.
This allows us to tailor your results to your treatment goals. However, liposuction is not appropriate for patients who have excess skin or have skin that does not have strong elasticity. After the fat is removed from the tummy, the skin should be able to form to your new curves.
The stretched skin may begin to sag and droop. While liposuction is designed to remove stubborn fat pockets along the body, it will not address loose or lax skin. If this excess skin is a concern, then tummy tuck surgery may be the right option for you. On the other hand, if you are suffering from excess, stubborn fat but still have good skin elasticity, then you may find that liposuction alone will provide you with ideal results.
Tummy tuck is particularly more invasive if it involves tightening of underlying muscles. In case of tummy tuck, the size of scar will usually be bigger in comparison to that of liposuction. As an experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Parker will try to keep the scarring as inconspicuous as possible. Patients in Las Vegas, NV, and nearby areas have an opportunity to receive these procedures from Dr. Parker.
Are you looking for a solution to help trim and tone your tummy? A slender midsection is often seen as an ideal of beauty, but this is not always easy to achieve. The shape and size of your midsection changes after pregnancy, weight gain or loss, and genetics and aging.
A Full Tummy Tuck is perfect for targeting excess fat, loose skin, and stretch marks above or below the belly button. This procedure requires a U-shaped incision around the pubic mound and allows for the surgeon to simultaneously tighten a patient’s abdominal muscles. What Is An Extended Tummy Tuck? The Extended Tummy Tuck is ideal for patients who have recently lost weight or given birth, which has resulted in a lot of excess skin. This procedure requires the longest incision and does leave behind a scar, but many patients feel that the benefits of a tighter, flatter, more youthful stomach outweigh the minor setback of scarring.
Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, aims to slim and reshape specific areas on the entire body. The surgeon removes excess fat deposits to improve body contours and proportions. Target areas for liposuction are the abdomen, waist, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, neck, back, chin, chest, cheeks, calves and ankles. Liposuction is ideal for individuals who are within 30% of ideal weight but who have disproportionate fat deposits.
