Body Contouring Procedures Austin
One of the two most requested cosmetic surgery procedures, liposuction surgery is an ideal way to permanently remove fat pockets and cells that exercise and dieting leave untouched. Liposuction surgery is typically performed on the legs, hips, stomach, buttock, arms, knees and ankles-problem areas for most candidates. Liposuction surgery is performed under anesthesia.
The concept of liposuction is surprisingly simple. Liposuction is a surgical technique that improves the body’s contour by removing excess fat from deposits located between the skin and muscle. Liposuction involves the use of a small stainless steel tube, called a cannula (from the Latin word for reed, tube, cane). The cannula is connected to a powerful suction pump and inserted into the fat through small incisions in the skin. Fat removal is accomplished as the suction cannula creates tiny tunnels through the fatty layers. After surgery, these tiny tunnels collapse and thus result in an improved body contour.
Tummy Tuck and Partial Tummy Tuck Procedures
Excess skin from extreme weight loss or gain or multiple pregnancies may have left your abdomen stretched and sagging. You might be unable to remove the “pouch” on your lower abdomen. Or, even if you follow a healthy diet and a strict exercise regimen, you still might not be able to get the taut, flat midsection you desire. If any of the above is the case, tummy tuck might be the ideal option for you.
During a tummy tuck procedure, excess skin is removed from a protruding abdomen and the abdominal muscles and remaining skin are tightened. In cases where fat deposits exist only in the region below the navel, a partial tummy tuck, a simpler, less-involved alternative to a full tummy tuck might be a better option. During the partial tummy tuck, an incision is made across the abdomen, excess fat and skin are trimmed away, and the flap is stitched back into place. No matter which procedure you choose, tummy tuck is an excellent way to flatten your tummy and add a boost of confidence. If you are interested in tummy tuck please contact us to find out more.
