Surgical Body Procedures
Arm Lift
Arm lift surgery (brachioplasty) is a skin removal surgery that provides patients with a slimmer, more youthful upper arm. It removes loose, drooping arm skin that often comes with aging and weight loss. Brachioplasty also reduces sagging arm skin by tightening the fascia tissue that connects the skin to the underlying muscle.
It will take one to two weeks for you to fully recover from your arm lift. Results are intended to be permanent; however, arm lift surgery cannot halt the aging process.
Fat Transfer
Fat transfer (fat grafting) removes unwanted fat from one area of the body and uses it to enhance another area of the face or body. Liposuction is first used to harvest fat and achieve more slender contours in areas such as the abdomen, hips, and thighs. The fat is purified and then reinjected to add volume to areas like facial hollows, wrinkles, and lips or in the body to improve the contour of areas deficient in fat.
Fat transfer breast augmentation and fat transfer to the buttocks and hips can be used to reshape and increase the size of the breasts and butt. Hip fat grafting improves the contour of the hips to create a soft and sensual female silhouette. For male patients, fat banking with relocation of the fat to the chest for added definition of the pectoralis area and shoulders creates a more masculine physique.
Most patients can return to work within several days after their fat transfer procedure. Results are generally permanent, but weight fluctuations can affect your results.
Labiaplasty
Vaginal rejuvenation can be achieved with or without surgery. Non-surgical procedures are available to help with improved function and appearance of the female genital area. Dr. Sadeghi and his team can help assess your needs and guide you accordingly to address your concerns.
Labiaplasty surgery creates smaller, more symmetrical labia minora (inner vaginal “lips”). Excess tissue is removed to reduce and reshape the labia. This vaginal rejuvenation surgery can improve a woman’s confidence and alleviate pain and irritation during exercise or intercourse due to enlarged labia minora.
Labiaplasty patients usually spend one to two weeks recovering before returning to work. Although results are intended to be permanent, factors such as pregnancy and childbirth can reverse your results.
Liposuction
Liposuction surgery removes excess fat deposits from various parts of the body through the use of a cannula. Some fat is resistant to diet and exercise efforts, and liposuction can target these fat cells to help patients achieve a slimmer, more contoured figure.
There are several new techniques as well as different types of liposuction available to patients. These include:
-
-
- High-definition liposuction
- Power-assisted liposuction
- Vaser liposuction
- BodyTite® liposuction
- Laser liposuction
-
Each of these modalities offer specific benefits that help shape the female or male body into a more contoured and attractive physique.
Liposuction recovery usually takes about two to three days, and the results are intended to be permanent. However, you should maintain a healthy lifestyle for the best liposuction results.
Mommy Makeover
A Mommy Makeover combines two or more procedures to treat the areas most affected by pregnancy and childbirth. This combination surgery provides patients with a slimmer, more toned body after having children.
A Mommy Makeover surgery can include your choice of the following procedures:
-
-
- Breast enhancement, including augmentation and breast lift if necessary
- High-definition (HD) whole body contouring liposuction
- Tummy tuck with rectus diastasis muscle repair
- Fat transfer to breasts and hips
-
Your Mommy Makeover recovery will depend on which procedures were performed. However, most patients are fully recovered within two to four weeks.
Thigh Lift
Thigh lift surgery tightens loose skin and may remove fat to reduce sagging outer and inner thighs. This procedure provides men and women with slimmer, more attractive legs that they can feel good about. This can be achieved both with surgical and non-surgical options.
Thigh lift results are intended to be permanent, but factors such as weight gain and aging can affect the appearance of your thighs over time.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) removes and tightens abdominal tissue to provide men and women with a more flat, attractive midsection. A tummy tuck can address loose skin, stubborn belly fat, separated abdominal muscles (rectus diastasis), and stretch marks. A new belly button will be reconstructed.
Liposuction is usually performed with a tummy tuck procedure concurrently.
Full recovery from tummy tuck surgery takes roughly two to four weeks. If you maintain a stable weight and avoid pregnancy, your abdominoplasty results should be long lasting.
Non-surgical Body Contouring and Body Treatments
CoolSculpting®
The CoolSculpting® machine emits extremely cold temperatures, freezing fat cells without surgery. CoolSculpting® treatment provides non-invasive fat removal to reduce stubborn fat that may be resistant to diet and exercise.
One of the main benefits of CoolSculpting® is that there is no serious recovery time. You can return to work and other responsibilities immediately after treatment. Results are intended to be long lasting if combined with a healthy lifestyle.
Emsculpt® Body Sculpting
Emsculpt® uses electromagnetic energy to cause muscle contractions within the body. This treatment reduces stubborn abdominal fat and builds muscle to reshape and firm the buttocks in just four 30-minute sessions.
Patients who undergo treatment with the Emsculpt® machine notice a more toned, defined body appearance. These results can be maintained by following a healthy diet and exercise routine.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy (blood vessel treatment) can be done with injections or non-invasively with the use of lasers. The injection technique uses the introduction of a salt solution into the veins to reduce the appearance of varicose veins. Bulging varicose veins are not only a cosmetic problem, but they can also cause chronic pain. Sclerotherapy can also achieve spider vein removal. The laser technique targets the blood vessels under the skin to eliminate the appearance of the spider veins.
There is no recovery time after sclerotherapy, and you are free to return to work immediately. The veins treated are permanently removed, but sclerotherapy cannot prevent new varicose or spider veins from developing.
Thermi® Cosmetic
Thermi® Cosmetic uses radio frequency technology to smooth skin and rejuvenate the underlying tissues. Thermi® Cosmetic offers several treatments for targeting specific areas such as the neck, face, body, breasts, and vagina.
Recovery from Thermi® Cosmetic takes about two days, and after that, you can return to normal daily activities. Results are intended to be long lasting; however, multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve your desired results.
Evolve Tite by InMode
Evolve Tite is a non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to improve the appearance of the skin. Skin remodeling with Evolve can target nearly any area of the body but is commonly used on the thighs, abdomen, and arms.
No downtime is needed after Evolve Tite; patients can immediately resume their usual activities after treatment.
Evolve Tone by InMode
Evolve Tone is a non-invasive body contouring and muscle strengthening treatment. It uses electric muscle stimulation to tone muscles and create firmer body contours in the butt, hips, and abdomen.
No downtime is needed after Evolve Tone.
BodyTite® by InMode
BodyTite® is a minimally invasive radiofrequency treatment that tightens the skin and connective tissues while reducing fat. With BodyTite®, patients can enjoy body procedure results that were previously only possible through surgery.
Patients generally need two days of downtime to recover after BodyTite® and can resume more strenuous activities after two weeks.
Morpheus8 Body by InMode
Morpheus8 Body uses radiofrequency microneedling to tighten skin and reduce stubborn fat. Scars and stretch marks can also be treated with Morpheus8. The microneedling stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, and the deep fractional treatment improves irregularities. Areas that can be treated are the face, neck, arms, legs, hips, and thighs.
Morpheus8 requires little to no downtime after treatment. Patients should avoid strenuous physical activities for about two days, during which time they may experience minimal swelling and redness.
