Body Contouring Procedures

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.
