This case depicts a 40 year old woman who had borne three children via c-section.  Her c-section resulted in a vertical scar starting immediately below the belly button or umbilicus. She had extra fat beneath the abdominal skin, in addition to a noticeable c-section scar. 

During her surgery, the abdominal wall was tightened, portions of the excess fat beneath the skin were removed and the entire vertical c-section scar was removed. The post-operative photographs depict this woman's appearance approximately one month after surgery.

This case depicts a 33 year old woman who was fit, slender and had never been pregnant. She had, however, a genetic tendency to accumulate fat in the mid-body- front and back. Because she had excellent skin tone and skin elasticity, this type of individual was the optimal candidate for liposuction.

This case depicts a 41 year old woman who had borne one child via c-section. Because her skin had remained relatively undamaged by the distensing effects of pregnancy, she elected to undergo abdominal recontouring by liposuction, A previous pregnancy does not indicate that an individual is not a candidate for liposuction of the abdomen.

This case depicts a 33 year old woman who had concerns with excess fat above the buttocks, around the waist in the back and around the bra area. Liposuction in the back has been greatly facilitated in my practice with the advent of ultrasound assisted liposuction.

This specialized method of liposuction uses ultrasonic energy to break up fat cells so that they may be removed more thoroughly and more evenlly.

This case depicts a 45 year old woman who had concerns with excess fat above the buttocks.

This area was deeply out of proportion with the rest of her trunk and negatively affected the way that her clothing fit.  In both men and women, this area is often referred to as the "love handles."

This case depicts a 34 year old man who was concerned with the appearance of excess fat above his buttocks.

In both men and women, this area is sometimes referred to as "the love handles," and it is especially responsive to liposuction.  I tend to use ultrasound assisted liposuction in this area because it allows me to remove fat more evenly and more thoroughly.  The incisions are easy to hide in most swimwear and the results can have a profound effect upon the male physique.

This case depicts a 47 year old woman whose concerns included that her lower body was out of proportion with her upper body. This body shape affected the way that her clothing fit. She underwent liposuction of the lateral thighs, medial thighs and medial knees, restoring balance to her body.

Liposuction, in this type of an individual, can increase fashion options, improve the fit of clothing and certainly increase self-confidence.

This case depicts a fit 24 year old woman who exercised and ate healthfully, but wished for her upper arms to appear more defined.

Ultrasonic liposuction was utilized to remove the relatively small amount of fatty tissue that was obscuring her musculature.

Even in fit and muscular individuals, fat can obscure muscle tone. The incisions necessary for this type of procedure are only several millimeters long and the results can be remarkable.

The post-operative photographs depict this woman's appearance approximately six weeks after surgery.

This case depicts a 55 year old woman who after losing almost 100 pounds had developed sagging skin in the upper arms. Because of the significant skin excess that remained after such dramatic weight loss, liposuction alone was not possible as a method of arm contouring.

Although this procedure involves an incision beginning in the arm pit or axilla and extending down toward the elbow, the results allow individuals to fit into items of clothing in which they could not prior to their surgery.

This 35 year old woman reached her plateau weight after losing 56 pounds following bariatric surgery.  She had breast lift or mastopexy using a short scar technique which leaves behind scars in the shape of a “lollipop.”  Some breast lifts or mastopexies are performed using a technique that results in scars that look like an “anchor,” but I prefer to use this shorter scar technique because scars are never visible in the cleavage nor on the side of the body beneath the arm.  This makes swimsuit selection much easier.
