Tummy
Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Modified/Extended
>>Before
and After Photos of this procedure
This
major surgical procedure is typically performed with
general or local anesthesia and a sedative. During a
tummy tuck, our board-certified plastic
surgeons will remove excess skin and fat from the middle
and lower abdomen and tighten the muscles of the abdominal
wall. This procedure has been preferred by women who
want to improve stretched skin and muscles from pregnancy,
and also to reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen.
The
incision from abdominoplasty will leave a permanent
scar between the hips, which can easily be concealed
with a bikini. Abdominoplasty is commonly performed
within approximately two to five hours, with a recovery
range of around two weeks to a few months. Combined
with a balanced diet and regular exercise, your tummy
tuck results can last for many years. (Back

Liposculpture
(Lipoplasty/Suction Lipectomy)
Tumescence/Ultrasonic
>>Before
and After Photos of this procedure
Liposculpture
is one of the most commonly requested surgical procedures.
It can sculpt and develop the shape of the body by removing
unwanted fat from the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs,
knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. Since it has
become popular within the past decade, liposculpture
has benefitted from additional studies and refinements
of the previous technique.
Today,
many different techniques and approaches of liposculpture
exist to provide the optimum results for many different
patients. Those who have struggled with diet and exercise
can now attain desired results from liposculpture and
finally remove their stubborn areas of fat.
New
liposculpture techniques include ultrasound-assisted
lipoplasty (UAL), the tumescent technique, and the superwet
technique. Contact Cosmed to schedule your initial consultation
and discover which method is best for you.
Ultrasonic Liposculpture has been proven to:
* Compress the skin
* Have a shorter procedure time than the Tumescence
* Be less painful than other methods
* Deliver precise results
*
Faster period of recovery

gravity with a buttock lift, and remove excess skin
that has developed as a result of weight loss, aging,
and gravity. The results of a buttock lift will be improved
thigh contour and a more flattering and toned behind.

Buttocks Augmentation/Fat Transfer
Many
weight loss patients have little or no volume in the
buttocks. To enhance the contour and have greater fullness
we do a procedure called fat grafting or fat transfer.
Fat is removed by liposuction from elsewhere on your
body, appropriately prepared and then injected into
your buttocks, creating fuller and shapelier buttocks.
This procedure is very often done along with other procedures.

Buttock Implants
Sometimes
diet and exercise will not warrant your desired results.
Buttocks implants may provide a solution to those who
desire enlarged or more defined behind. Cosmed provides
our patients with a wide variety of implants in various
shapes and sizes; in soft silicone with a naturally
firm look and feel. This procedure generally takes about
two hours, under general anesthesia, and in conjunction
with liposuction for dramatic results. (Back

Arm
Lift
The
effects of aging and gravity can often leave some with
upper arm skin that is loose and sagging. Improve the
contour of your arm and muscle tone with brachioplasty,
or an arm lift. Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure
that is often used in conjunction with liposculpture
to produce optimum results. (Back

Lower
Body Lift
A
lower body lift restores contour to the lower midsection
of the body. Most body lift procedures combine abdominoplasty
with a lift to the outer thighs and buttocks. The lower
body lift removes skin and excess fat above and below
the umbilicus along with the tightening of the abdominal
muscles to reshape and contour the body. Where once
there was sagging skin on your abdomen, lower back,
waist, thighs and buttocks you will find more toned
and defined contours. Ultimately the final result will
provide a more natural looking, balanced and aesthetically
pleasing appearance. All patient evaluations and procedures
are based on each patients individual needs.
CosMed's
qualified and board-certified plastic and reconstructive
surgeons can achieve amazing results with lower body
lift procedures for after weight loss patients using
the most advanced and modern techniques achieving dramatic
results
.

Upper Body Lift
Skin
that is loose and hanging in the upper body area is
of great concern. Whether male or female an upper body
lift is a procedure to remove excess skin and restore
contour to the upper back around to the sides of the
chest and underarm areas. The incision for this procedure
is made in the natural crease at the base of the breasts
and extends onto each side and may extend across the
back. An upper body lift can involve a number of procedures.
Your CosMed surgeon will evaluate and decide on the
right procedures for your specific needs to restore
a more slender and youthful appearance.
Inner
Thigh Lift
Thigh
surgery can be highly effective and discreet. During
weight loss, skin in the thigh area shrinks and creates
an unsightly roll of fat. An inner thigh lift can improve
the shape of your thigh area and provide a quick recovery
period. (Back to

Mommy
Makeover
One
of the most wonderful and memorable experiences in a
woman's life is childbirth. However after childbirth
and nursing the lasting effects on the body become more
apparent and weight loss is not proportional to the
amount of fatty tissue in different areas of the body.
The results are often smaller deflated breasts with
a fuller abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks and thighs.
Weak abdominal muscles and excess abdominal fat appear
as fullness and bulging of the abdomen. A "Mommy
Makeover" is a combination of procedures designed
by your surgeon according to your specific needs to
counteract the physical effects of childbearing and
to restore and enhance your body contour and appearance.

Labiaplasty/
Vaginal Rejuvenation
As
women age and particularly after having children, the
labia often become stretched and enlarged. This excess
skin can be uncomfortable and cause women to feel self-conscious
in intimate situations. Vaginal rejuvenation plastic
surgery reduces excess skin around the genital area
and restores a smooth, youthful appearance to the labia.
