A tummy tuck procedure works to flatten a patient’s abdomen by tightening the muscles of their abdominal wall while also removing extra fat and skin from the area. Despite the treatment’s ability to provide desirable results it is still major surgery and shouldn’t be entered into lightly. Patients are advised to carefully consider whether or not a tummy tuck is right for them and remember that the procedure isn’t an alternative to traditional weight loss achieved by exercise and healthy eating. Remember these points when asking yourself, “should I get a tummy tuck?”
However, a tummy tuck isn’t always appropriate. Here […]
When it comes to a full tummy tuck, it’s all about abdominal wall deformities.
Abdominal wall deformities consist of three components:
1) The presence of wrinkly or loose skin with stretch marks. Most patients suffer from these issues as they age, following pregnancy or after rapid weight loss.
2) Excess fatty tissue. This accumulated tissue is usually most prominent in the lower abdomen and the “love handles”.
3) Rectus muscle diastasis. This condition results from the separation of the anterior abdominal muscles. Patients affected by rectus muscle diastasis cannot improve the condition with exercise because once the abdominal muscles have relaxed and separated, the […]

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.

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.

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 […]

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).

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 […]
