With ongoing research dedicated to finding better and innovative procedures women have even more choices when it comes to getting their tummies tucked with abdominoplasty
The Floating Abdominoplasty or FAB Procedure
Using a small incision in the lower abdomen, this new tummy tuck surgery technique allows the tummy to be tightened and shaped with optimal results. Also referred to as an extended mini abdominoplasty, this procedure is an excellent option without the telltale signs as there is no incision around the belly button. Excess skin is removed through the incision; the belly button is temporarily detached and ‘floats’ above the muscles. This […]
As with any type of surgery, back liposuction can lead to complications that patients should be aware of before planning to move forward with the treatment. The sensitivity of the back’s skin and the manner in which fat collects in problem areas can make the area particularly difficult to treat. Even though the liposuction procedure is routine and can be safely performed, our Plastic Surgeons always exercise the utmost level of caution.
Some of the most common back liposuction complications include the following:HYPERPIGMENTATIONPerforming liposuction on the back carries a higher risk of hyperpigmented scarring (uneven or blotchy skin discolouration) than other […]
Back liposuction is able to provide women with significant improvements to their appearance. By tailoring a liposuction procedure to your specific needs, we are able to eliminate unwanted back fat and provide you with a sleeker body contour.
The back can be split up into different treatment areas.INFRA-SCAPULARThe infra-scapular back refers to the area of the back located just below the bra strap. Many women are genetically predisposed toward collecting fat in this region, a problem that can lead to prominent bulging when wearing a bra. When an individual’s weight continues to increase, this area will continue accumulating fat, leading to […]
FACE AND NECK
Localized fat that affects the face and/or neck can be especially frustrating as it is almost impossible to treat through exercise and diet alone (most exercises designed to help are ineffective and can even lead to wrinkle formation over time). Chubby cheeks, jowls, flabby necks and/or double chins can be treated with facial and neck liposuction. Advances in liposuction technology make removing fat from delicate areas of the face and neck safer than ever before, allowing for effective reduction or complete elimination of this aesthetically displeasing concern. You’ll find that your face looks more toned and balanced. Fat […]
Facial and neck liposuction is a popular procedure due to its ability to provide more natural-looking results than facelifts. For suitable patients, it can lead to fewer scars, carries less risk, and has a faster recovery period.Despite the many advantages of liposuction, some patients may not be suitable for the procedure. In cases where an individual presents larger neck skin folds and minimal subcutaneous fat, a facelift may be more appropriate.
Even though the procedure is usually referred to as “facial and neck liposuction,” we actually target other areas of the face when performing the surgery. These include regions such as […]
The healing time for a given procedure varies between different patients. The following represents the general recovery you might expect following your face / neck lift. Individual patients may experience variations from this course.
When you awake from your facelift surgery, you will be in the recovery room. Dr. Fialkov does not use any dressings for the most part, only polysporin ointment. Dr. Fialkov may elect to insert a soft drain under the skin. The drain will help remove any fluids that may accumulate under the skin, and is usually removed on the 1st or 2nd post-op day. Dr. Fialkov encourages […]
It is extremely important that every prospective face lift patient be informed of the type of risks associated with the procedure. Dr. Fialkov possesses the skill and surgical experience that significantly lowers the level of risk associated with facelift surgery, however complications are still possible when any surgery is performed, whether it is cosmetic or functional. You can only make an informed decision on whether or not to undergo a facelift when you’re fully aware of the problems that can result from the procedure. These are thoroughly discussed during the consultation process.While reading the following list of risks and complications, […]
Once you hit 30 years old, the skin around your eyes becomes more wrinkled, puffy and baggy. You may find that bags develop under your eyes, and become more prominent with every passing year. Take a closer look at the bags under your eyes. Are they your lower eyelids or festoons? Determining which you have makes all the difference when selecting the right treatment to achieve your aesthetic goals.
Festoon VS Undereye BagsUndereye bags: This common aesthetic concern is caused by protrusion or herniation of fat that lies beneath the lower eyelid, something that occurs naturally with age. To make matters […]
If you’re interested in breast augmentation it’s likely that your primary concern is exactly how you will look once all is said and done. Depending on the approach taken by your Plastic Surgeon, your breasts can appear either natural or noticeably enhanced. The difference between these two looks is caused by factors such as implant size and placement.
Implant Placement
Generally speaking, implants that are positioned behind the pectoral muscle (subpectoral/submuscular) tend to look more natural because they are hidden more by both muscle and breast tissue. Placing the implants under the breast itself (submammary) gives a rounder “faker-looking” breast augmentation. It’s […]
We always seek to provide our patients with the fastest possible recovery so they are able to return to normal activity without excessive downtime. This is especially important when we perform breast augmentation on fitness models whose livelihood depends on regular exercise and a regimented lifestyle.
Despite the quick healing process offered by our breast augmentation process, fitness models must still expect to take some time off from their usual fitness regimen after their surgery to avoid risking injury or complications.For the first three days after your surgery, arm movements should be restricted. After three days, relatively normal non-strenuous activities can […]
