Get A Tummy Tuck…For A Wow Body Contour!

Image
Following childbirth, a lady usually develops evidence of poor skin and muscle tone, with appearance of stretch marks, skin and fat bulges, weakened or separated abdominal muscles with excess fat over the abdomen and love handles (waist) region.  Abdominoplasty , or  tummy tuck , is a cosmetic surgery procedure used to address all these issues and make the abdomen thinner and more firm, removing the loose hanging skin. The procedure involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen in order to tighten the skin and muscle of the abdominal wall. The placement of the incisions is discussed with the patient before surgery, so as to keep them hidden even in their most revealing garments. Stretch marks in the lower abdomen can also be reduced dramatically by this procedure.  Tummy tuck  is also very effective procedure to treat large ventral hernias and skin problems caused by overhanging loose skin. Abdominal muscles can be strengthened and tightened through a  t

Liposuction for a wow body contour!

Image
  Liposuction , also known as Lipoplasty, Lipo and suction assisted lipectomy, is the most popular body contouring surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms or neck. It removes fat deposits that one is not able to remove after performing vigorous exercise or dieting. It is commonly done and safe in experienced hands. This body contouring procedure permanently removes fatty tissues and the results are everlasting, if the patient maintains his/her weight. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT A WEIGHT REDUCTION SURGERY FOR OBESITY AND ONLY A BODY CONTOURING PROCEDURE. It does not help to remove stretch marks and cellulite. One must also remember that if someone puts on weight after the procedure, then the results are not long-lasting. Adults who have firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone are the ideal candidates for liposuction. A patient with sagging skin, stretch marks and poor underlying muscle tone

  Gynecomastia  or male breasts , relates to any condition that results in excessive development of breast tissue in males. It can be of three types: excess of fat alone, presence of breast nodule or combination of both. It can affect any age but most commonly affects the young adolescent male or one in his early 20s. In 85% of cases, the cause is not known (idiopathic) but is usually because of an episodic mismatch of male and female hormones. It can also be caused due to many other conditions such as obesity, steroid consumption, intake of junk food and sodas, thyroid disorders, liver disease, and use of certain drugs and medicines. Cosmetic correction is the commonest indication for surgery. It is required for the troubled adolescent who is often ridiculed at school and college, and feels embarrassed especially while going to a swimming pool. The other common reason for surgery is rejection on medical grounds for entry into the Army and other uniformed services. In most idiopathic c

What Is Plastic Surgery?

  The term  Plastic Surgery  takes its origin from the Greek word Plastikos, which means to form or mold. It has nothing to do with plastic material or to make a patient  ‘plastic’ ! Plastic surgery is a special type of surgery that can change a person's appearance and ability to function. Plastic Surgery can be broadly divided into two categories, Reconstructive and Cosmetic.  Reconstructive surgery includes treatment of burns, craniofacial surgery, hand and microsurgery, and also cancer and trauma reconstruction, including cleft lip and palate surgeries and surgical correction of pediatric and congenital deformities. Reconstructive surgery aims to reconstruct a part of the body or improve its functioning whereas cosmetic or aesthetic surgery aims at improving its appearance of it. Both of these techniques are used by plastic surgeons across the world. Cosmetic surgery is an elective or ‘cold’ surgery that is performed on normal parts of the body to improve a person's appearan
