Surgical Re Shaping

SURGICAL RE SHAPING
Many people choose to have surgery to obtain a desired look, from breast augmentations, stomach lifts, to skin lifts. The information below will advise you what types of surgery are available, help you decide whether surgery is for you and offers advice on what to expect.

If you are 100% sure this is what you want make sure you find a very good surgeon. Make sure you know exactly what is going to happen & what results to expect. Follow preparation by loosing weight stopping smoking etc & build up your intake of vitamin C.

Surgery is the only option to remove excess skin as no amount of exercise will achieve this. Sometimes the scar is noticeable.

Liposuction has come a long way. Targeting fatty deposits which are hard to shift. It cant help cellulite, tighten loose skin, or take out fat under the muscle. 2 - 5kg (5-10lb) of fat & fluid can be removed in one treatment. If you re gain weight after surgery it will usually go on areas that have not been suctioned. Surgeons are now using smaller tubes so calves & knees can be done too.

Boob reduction usually for women out of proportion, top heavy, & have back & neck pains.

Boob lift with out altering breast size. Surgeon makes small incision around the breast to re position the nipple higher & remove excess skin.

Boob job, silicone or saline implants inserted. Incision can be under arm or breast or around nipple. Full recovery takes about 6 weeks , most implants last a lifetime.

Arm lift (brachioplasty) This procedure will leave you with a hidden scar under your armpit. A tiny incision in armpit is made to remove excess skin & fat from upper arm, then skin pulled upwards leaving arms firmer & toned.

Lower body lift for bottom & thighs. Cuts are made unobtrusive as possible, they can differ on each person. A compression garment will need to be worn afterwards to reduce swelling & shrink tightening skin.

Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) an incision across bikini area to remove fat & skin, resulting in a firmer flatter tummy.

Fat busting treatment. This is safer & less invasive than liposuction. Smartlipo this using a fine laser probe. The probe is inserted into problem area IE double chin, wobbly knees. The probe increases the temperature of the fat cells , they break down into liquid leaving the body to expel .
