Tummy Tuck, Body Lift, Liposuction and More - New Jersey and Manhattan

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

At the Plastic Surgery Center in Manhattan and New Jersey, we see many patients who have tried without success to lose that extra paunch of skin and fat on their lower belly. We see this particularly true with women following childbirth or with people who have undergone significant weight loss. Where diet and exercise fail to deliver a sleek, toned abdomen, a tummy tuck often provides the solution for our Manhattan and New Jersey area patients.

During a tummy tuck at our Manhattan or New Jersey practice, the cosmetic surgeon makes an incision beneath the bikini line from hip to hip and a smaller one around the navel. Once the skin and abdominal muscles are separated, the cosmetic surgeon tightens the muscles of the abdomen, folds the skin flap back in place and trims away excess skin. The final incisions can usually be hidden beneath a modest bathing suit or underwear. With a tummy tuck performed by one of our world-renowned cosmetic surgeons, our Manhattan and New Jersey patients, both women and men, enjoy a beautifully flat and sculpted abdomen. In some selected patients, our cosmetic surgeons can utilize a more minimal incision, often eliminating the need to cut around the navel. If you think you might be a good candidate for a tummy tuck, please let us hear from you today.

Liposuction

For many of our New Jersey and Manhattan area patients, maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly are not enough to remove the extra pockets of fat that often develop in the body's problem areas: chin, neck, arms, stomach, hips, buttocks, legs, or ankles. For these patients, our Manhattan and New Jersey practices offer Liposuction as a way of targeting these problem areas to give the body a more toned and sculpted appearance.

When we perform a Liposuction at our New Jersey and Manhattan area practice, our cosmetic surgeon makes a small incision in the target area. Next, the cosmetic surgeon inserts a cannula (narrow tube) through the incision, vacuuming away and discarding unwanted fat. Liposuction, as performed at our New Jersey and Manhattan facilities, is now a safe and highly effective procedure, delivering natural and pleasing results with a recovery that is often shorter than anticipated. If you would like to learn more about liposuction, please contact our New Jersey practice today.

Massive Weight Loss (Bariatric)

With the recent popularity of Gastric Bypass surgery, many patients have successfully lost tremendous amounts of weight, but are still left with excess skin that can not only be unsightly, but may be prone to rashes and infections. Our surgeons are experts in body-sculpting after gastric bypass surgery and perform procedures such as body lifting, thigh lifting, arm lifting, tummy tucks and breast lifts for our Manhattan and New Jersey patients. Below are brief descriptions of some of these procedures. In addition, we have created a specialty website with detailed information about our procedures and have even included video clips that feature our success stories. If you would like to learn more about our post-gastric bypass procedures, we invite you to visit this website at www.aftertheweight.com.

Body Lift

At the Plastic Surgery Center in New Jersey and Manhattan we sometimes see a patient that needs help enhancing more than one area of the body. This is often the case for women following multiple childbirths or for bariatric surgery patients who have undergone extreme weight loss. In these situations, a body lift is often the preferred option among our New Jersey and Manhattan area patients. Women seeking a body lift at the New Jersey Plastic Surgery Center have usually been through childbirth and breastfeeding and are finding it difficult to get their breasts and abdomens back into the shape they were in before pregnancy. Patients of successful weight loss, meanwhile, usually seek out a body lift at our New Jersey or Manhattan practice looking to eliminate folds of loose, sagging skin on legs, arms, neck and torso.

A body lift at our New Jersey practice can involve a number of types of procedures, depending on your body's needs. For weight loss patients, our cosmetic surgeon will trim excess skin away and tighten underlying muscles. For women following pregnancy, one of our premier cosmetic surgeon's may perform a tummy tuck and breast lift, possibly including breast augmentation, to restore a trim, full figure. To find out more about body lifts at our New Jersey or Manhattan sites or to discuss your particular circumstances with one of our world-renowned cosmetic surgeons, please contact us today.

Upper Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Weight fluctuations and the process of aging can both cause skin to slowly lose its elasticity. As a result, many people find themselves with loose, sagging skin on the upper arms, particularly those people who have undergone successful weight loss. An upper arm lift can restore a shapely appearance to the arms by removing and tightening excess skin. At our New Jersey practice, we often combine liposuction with incisions placed along the inside of the underarm or within the armpit to minimize scarring. If you would like to learn more about an upper arm lift, please contact our New Jersey cosmetic surgery practice today.

Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)

As in the case of the upper arms, the thighs are also an area of the body vulnerable to weight fluctuation and loss of skin elasticity. A thigh lift is commonly performed on people who have succeeded with massive weight loss to tighten up loose folds of skin on the upper legs. The procedure, however, can be performed on anyone who would like to have trimmer, more toned thighs and has tried without success to accomplish this through diet and exercise. During a thigh lift, the surgeon removes excess skin and tightens underlying tissue. At our New Jersey practice, we often combine this procedure with liposuction, depending on the circumstances. To find out if a thigh lift might be the right procedure for you, please contact our New Jersey center today.
