Body Contouring Procedures Like Liposuction And Abdominoplasty Are Performed To Create A Better Contour

A lipoplasty procedure is performed to remove localized areas of fat that surround the abdomen, upper arms, buttocks, hips, thighs, 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 cosmetic surgery procedure itself is performed with a thin metal tube that is called a cannula. This tube is inserted underneath the patient's skin and is used to vacuum fat away from specific irregular contours on one's body.

Breast Reduction Offered By West Palm Beach Cosmetic Surgeon

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. In other cases, the incision may involve an incision in the shape of an upside down "T" or "anchor" that extends from the areola down the center portion of one's breast and then into the inframammary fold. According to Dr. Pinsky, a West Palm Beach plastic surgeon, the amount of incisions are determined by the amount of lifting that is required.

Plastic Surgeons Use Breast Lift Surgery To Raise And Reshape A Woman's Breasts

Mastopexy surgery is capable of restoring a more youthful appearance to womens' 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, mastopexies are commonly performed in conjunction with breast augmentation to increase superior pole fullness, breast firmness, and size. This may appeal to a woman who has lost breast volume after pregnancy.

West Palm Beach Breast Augmentation

Augmentation Mammoplasty is a surgical procedure used to enhance the shape and size of a woman's breasts. Some candidates may feel that their breast size is too small. Breast augmentation is also a procedure to restore the volume of a woman's breasts following pregnancy. Dr. Pinsky, a West Palm Beach plastic surgeon says, breast augmentation can also be performed to correct for differences in a woman's right and left breast size. Some patients have different surgical goals – for example, a more natural breast shape in proportion to a woman's 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.
