Liposuction
Liposuction is a procedure that removes localized areas of excess fatty tissue. Liposuction can be performed on many area of the body to include: face, neck, chest, abdomen, back, arms, hips, and legs. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure but rather a body contouring procedure.
It is designed to address those areas of fatty tissue that are
resistant to diet and exercise. The ideal candidate is at or near their
ideal body weight and in good physical condition. Dr. Healy in Hawaii uses the tumescent technique when performing liposuction. Dr. Healy will help you determine if you are a good candidate for liposuction during your consultation. For liposuction in Honolulu Hawaii call today.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty
is a procedure designed to contour the abdomen. This is accomplished by
removing excess skin and fat as well as tightening the abdominal
muscles. A tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure, and the best results are achieved in those patients
who are at or near their ideal body weight. Ideal candidates are those
who have had children or lost a significant amount of weight and are in
good physical condition. The technique used depends on several
variables that will be discussed with Dr. Healy during your consultation.
Body Contouring Afer Weight Loss
Body contouring after weight loss is designed to address the excess skin that develops after a patient
loses a significant amount of weight. Despite the weight loss and
exercise, the stretched out skin often will not shrink back adequately.
This can lead to difficulties with exercising, finding clothes that fit
properly, hygiene and discouragement that the transformation is not
complete. Areas of the body that are often addressed during body contouring after weight loss include: abdomen, arms, buttock, and thighs. Dr. Healy will discuss the different options that are available during your consultation.
Board certified plastic surgeon, Dr Jeff Healy is located in Aiea just outside of Honolulu and serves surrounding cities in Oahu Hawaii. |

Dalls Plastic Surgeon Dr. Adams is a internationally recognized expert in breast augmentation. His special interest in this area has allowed him to make several contributions/ innovations to optimize results in breast augmentation.
Every woman who considers breast augmentation has her own personal reasons. Some include the following:
* Enlarging the breasts to make the body more proportional.
* Reshaping and enlarging breasts that have lost their shape due to breast-feeding or age.
* Balancing the appearance of breasts that differ in size or shape.
Many women experience emotional benefits from breast augmentation such as enhanced self-esteem, a more satisfying body image and a renewed sense of enthusiasm.
No two patients are the same, thus Dr. Adams will individualize your breast augmentation for you and your body. There is no one implant-type or type of augmentation that is best for all patients, Just like there is not one type of house or car that best suit everyone.
The key is to match the correct implant
to each patient's breast dimensions and soft tissues. This philosophy
strives to produce long-term results with low re-operation and
complication rates. Dr. Adams does this individual analysis on every patient.
Dr. Adams in Dallas believes that recovery post-surgery and re-operation rates are the most important factors correlating to the quality of the procedure in Texas. Dr. Adams has published his 3 year re-operation rates on his breast augmentation
patients. This was 2.5% which was 7 -9 x lower than published rates
form the FDA clinical trials. Many factors contribute to this low
re-operation rate.
Recovery is another unique benefit. Dr. Adams has observed that 98% of patients are able to go out to dinner the day of surgery and resume normal activities within 24 hours.
Though a Dallas breast augmentation
can achieve many different goals, your decision/ desires are a very
personal matter and will be a focus of your visit with Dr. Adams during
your consultation. It is important to get all your questions answered
during this consultation so it is suggested that you write your
important questions down for Dr. Adams to answer.
What is breast augmentation?
An outpatient operation that improves and increases the size and shape of your breast by inserting an implant.
What does it accomplish?
It
enhances the breast size and contour, and may give your body a more
harmonious balance. It can also correct and dramatically improve
breast/body proportion and balance after pregnancy. |

Introduction: Rhinoplasty is the most commonly performed procedure in facial plastic surgery. The name is a blend of the word rhino (nose) and plasty (to shape). Rhinoplasty is also commonly called a " nose job". The goal of Rhinoplasty should be a nose that looks and feels natural. Rhinoplasty can be performed to meet aesthetic goals or for reconstructive purposes to correct defects or breathing problems. What can Rhinoplasty achieve? Many features which are not desirable in a nose may be improved through cosmetic surgery.
Noses may be made narrower, straighter, longer or shorter. Humps may be
removed and the shape, size and angle and definition of the tip of the
nose may be altered. Breathing problems caused by a deviated septum may
be corrected. Rhinoplasty
may be performed at any time after facial growth has been completed
(ages 15-16 for women and ages 16-17 for men.) The ideal outcome in Rhinoplasty is natural appearing with balance and harmony, enhancing beauty of the eyes and lips. Risks involved:
Because of the special nature of the blood supply to the nose and
surrounding area, it is possible for retrograde infections from the
nasal area to spread to the brain. To reduce the risks follow the
doctor's advice both before and after the surgery. Surgical procedure: Surgery can be performed under general anesthesia with local anesthesia depending on patient
or doctor's preference. Incisions are sometimes made inside the
nostrils; tiny incisions are also made on the columella, the bit of
skin that separates the nostrils. The surgeon
first separates soft tissues of the nose from the underlying
structures, then reshapes the cartilage and bone which causes the
deformity. In some cases the surgeon may shape a small piece of
the patients own cartilage or bone to strengthen or increase the
structure of the nose. This is done for cosmetic reasons or to improve
breathing and function of the nose. In rarer cases a synthetic implant may be used to reconstruct the nose if the normal structure of the bone and cartilage is badly damaged or weakened. Recovery:
A tape dressing will cover the nose for one week and there may be some
discoloration and swelling around the eyes which will improve over 5-7
days. One week is usually enough time for returning to work and social
activities. For rhinoplasty in Austin Texas contact Plastic Surgeon Dr. David Wishnew.

You may be a candidate for thighplasty if you have experienced a loss of skin elasticity of the thigh, hip, or buttock areas. You may also desire this procedure if your skin in the thigh area is saggy, has an orange peel, flabby and/or dimpled appearance. The procedure
may also be indicated if your thigh appearance improves dramatically
when you lift the lax skin. If you are self-conscious about your lower
body appearance you may also want to look into thigh lift surgery.
The procedure is intended to produce tighter, more attractive thigh and
buttock skin with improved contours. It is also intended to decrease
irregularities in skin surface.
Thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis unless otherwise advised by the surgeon.
Wide variations in the design of the incisions to meet clothing or
personal desires are possible. Lifting the inner thighs requires only
short incisions extending from the anterior part of the thigh/groin
crease around to the buttock crease. Lateral or anterior thigh lifts
can be performed as separate procedures if desired. The buttocks can be
lifted with upper or lower scars. The doctor will show you what
specific procedures are available to solve your particular problem.
The patient
is placed in a compression garment (similar to a long-line elastic
support girdle) at the end of surgery to reduce swelling and assist in
the natural shrinking and tightening of the skin. With smaller thigh
lifts, initial discomfort is usually easily controlled with
prescription pain medication. With larger thigh lifts, one or two
nights care in a skilled nursing facility or hospital are usually
required. This allows for pain injections, intravenous catheters, etc.
Bruising and swelling usually subside within a month, strenuous
activities are usually possible in 6 weeks and almost all symptoms are
gone in 4-6 months.
Additional procedures that may enhance the result include Liposuction, Breast Enlargement and Tummy Tuck.
This procedure is considered cosmetic and therefore is not covered by insurance. The patient
is responsible for payment. The specific risks and the suitability of
this procedure for a given individual can be determined only at the
time of consultation. All surgical procedures
have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect the
outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are unusual. |
