Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Abdominoplasty (also known as tummy tuck surgery) is a procedure designed to remove excess skin, fat, and tissue from the stomach to create a tighter, flatter abdomen. Tummy tucks can be more or less extensive in scope depending on the patient's individual needs. In some cases, this surgery may be paired with liposuction.

During the abdominoplasty procedure, Dr. Winslow will make an incision horizontally across the abdomen in the area where skin will be removed. He will separate the navel from the abdominal skin, reattaching it once the skin has been stretched into place on the abdomen. Before relocating the skin, Dr. Winslow will tighten the abdominal muscles in order to better sculpt the abdomen and narrow the waistline.

The tummy tuck and other body contouring procedures do have some side effects, and some recovery time is unavoidable. Most patients miss one or two weeks of work, and it may take several weeks or more for them to recover fully and see the final benefits of the procedure. Although abdominoplasty scars are positioned so as to be hidden by swimsuits and other clothing, and though they fade with time, they never disappear completely.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a procedure that surgically removes fat. Various techniques exist for different applications, but Dr. Winslow relies largely on the VASER® ultrasonic liposuction system in delicate body contouring treatments.

Liposuction is not a tool for weight loss. It is typically not safe to remove more than a few pounds of fat in a single procedure. Instead, liposuction is useful for sculpting and shaping areas of the body with stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise, creating a more toned look and revealing the muscles.

Arm Lift

Over time, skin along the upper arms can stretch, creating a flap that may hang or swing unattractively. The arm lift procedure, which is commonly included as part of post-bariatric body contouring, is designed to remove this skin from the arm, leaving it tighter, firmer, and younger-looking. Patients who undergo arm lift surgery will have a scar along the underside of the arm, which will fade with time but never disappear completely. The scars are positioned so as to be as inconspicuous as possible, and many people simply never notice them.

Thigh Lift

The thighs are one area of the body that commonly displays the sagging skin that is symptomatic of aging and weight fluctuation. With thigh lift surgery, body contouring patients can address this common flaw, allowing themselves to enjoy firmer, slimmer, more attractive thighs. As with arm lift surgery, the thigh lift procedure leaves unavoidable scars on the inner thighs that will never fade completely. However, most patients consider these scars a small price to pay for the benefits of the surgery.

Butt Implants

Buttock augmentation, which is accomplished with implants, is a popular body contouring procedure. After significant weight loss, many people find that their buttocks need definition. Implants can add shape, size, and definition in the buttocks for men and women. Full recovery takes several months, but many patients are able to return to low-intensity work after only a few days.
