Body Contouring Procedures Like Tummy Tuck And Lipoplasty Are Performed To Create A Better Contour

A liposuction procedure is used to remove localized areas of fat that surround the buttocks, hips, thighs, abdomen, upper arms, neck, calves, and knees. Patients who receive liposuction surgery are typically looking to improve the contours of their figure - both out of and in clothing. The plastic surgery procedure itself is performed with a thin metal tube called a cannula. The cannula is inserted beneath the patient's skin and it's used to vacuum the fat away from certain irregular contours around one's body.

West Palm Beach Plastic Surgeon Offers Reduction Mammoplasty

For a breast reduction, incisions are placed around the areola in an effort to slide it into its proper position followed by removal of excess sagging breast tissue and skin. In some cases, the incision will be limited to just around the areola. Other times it may involve an incision in the shape of an upside down T or anchor extending from the areola down the center portion of the breast and then into the inframammary fold. According to Dr. Pinsky, a West Palm Beach plastic surgeon, the amount of incisions that are required is determined by the amount of lifting that is desired.

Cosmetic Surgeons Use Mastopexy Surgery To Reshape And Raise A Woman's Breasts

Breast lift surgery restores a more youthful appearance to a woman's breasts. Over years breasts can lose their shape and firmness due to weight changes, pregnancy, and nursing with loss of skin elasticity causing them to sag. A mastopexy or breast lift, will raise and reshape the breasts slowing the effects of aging and gravity. This procedure can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker pigmented skin around the nipple. According to a West Palm Beach plastic surgeon, breast lift procedures are commonly performed in conjunction with a mammoplasty to increase breast fullness, firmness, and size. This may appeal to a woman who has lost breast volume after pregnancy.

West Palm Beach Plastic Surgeon Offers Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breasts. Some candidates may feel that their breast size is too small. Dr. Pinsky, a West Palm Beach plastic surgeon says, breast augmentation is also a procedure to restore the volume of a woman's breasts following pregnancy. Breast augmentation can also be performed to correct for differences in a woman's right and left breast size. There are sometimes patients that have different surgical goals, for example some women will want a more natural breast shape that is in proportion to their figure. Others prefer a more rounded shape in the upper pole of their breast somewhat larger than their proportionate figure. These goals can be achieved by using larger or smaller saline breast implants, and by adjusting the fill volume for each of the implants. In the breast augmentation procedure, short incisions are placed in the inframammary fold, around the lower portion of the areola (pigmented portion of the nipple) or through the axilla.
