After liposuction, you’ll need to wear a compression garment to help with the recovery process. Your compression garment plays a vital role in your recovery as it assists in further recontouring your body to create the shape you want it to be. If you don’t wear one, you may not be happy with your results and could even increase your risk of developing complications.
The fat that is removed during your surgery creates extra space under your skin. Your body naturally fills this space with fluid, leading to swelling and possible complications. Your compression garment compresses your skin against your body […]
Many people who have experienced massive weight loss (MWL) are troubled by thighs that cannot be reshaped through any amount of exercise or healthy eating.
Contouring the thighs is much harder than other areas of the body (such as the upper extremities and midsection), but is not impossible. In order to perform thighplasty, we must take several features of a patient’s body into consideration.

THE TYPICAL THIGH LIFT PATIENT
Desire for a more youthful appearance of the thighs.
Focuses on excess, hanging (wrinkles, folds, cellulite) and excess fat, especially in the inner thighs.
Problem occurs commonly after weight loss.

The procedure involves liposuction of any excess fat in the thighs, then removing a crescent of skin high up in the groin, loosening the tissues below this, and then […]

A patient’s age will inform the manner in which Dr. Fialkov performs a neck lift. Part of his signature neck lift technique involves a customizable, graded treatment approach where the surgery is scaled to each patient’s needs. A patient in their 40s may receive satisfactory results from a neck lift alone, while older individuals with jowls will typically require a partial lower neck facelift. Some patients may require a full facelift in order to address problems affecting the neck, jowls, lower and mid face (brows must be treated separately). Dr. Fialkov’s graded approach avoids unnecessary surgical steps and is able […]
