Body Contouring Procedures Like Tummy Tuck And Lipoplasty 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. People who receive lipoplasty surgery are usually looking for an improvement in the contours of their figure - both in and out of their clothing. The plastic surgery procedure itself is performed with a thin metal tube called a cannula. The cannula is inserted beneath the patient's skin and it's used to vacuum the fat away from certain irregular contours around one's body.

West Palm Beach Breast Reduction

Incisions for a breast reduction are placed around the woman's areola in an effort to slide it into the proper position followed by the removal of extra sagging skin and breast tissue. Sometimes the incision may be limited to just around the areola. Other times it may involve an incision in the shape of an upside down T or anchor extending from the areola down the center portion of the 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.

Breast Lift Surgery Is Used By Cosmetic Surgeons To Raise And Reshape A Woman's Breasts

Breast lift surgery restores a more youthful appearance to a woman's 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. The procedure is also able to reduce the size of a woman's areola, which is the darker pigmented skin around the nipple. According to a West Palm Beach plastic surgeon, breast lift procedures are commonly performed in conjunction with a mammoplasty to increase breast fullness, firmness, and size. This would likely appeal to a woman who has lost breast volume after a pregnancy.

Breast Augmentation Offered By West Palm Beach Cosmetic Surgeon

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. Dr. Pinsky, a West Palm Beach plastic surgeon says, the procedure is also used for women following a pregnancy to restore volume to their breasts. Breast augmentation can also be performed to correct for differences in a woman's right and left breast size. There are sometimes patients that have different surgical goals, for example some women will want a more natural breast shape that is in proportion to their figure. Others prefer a more rounded shape in the upper pole of their breast somewhat larger than their proportionate figure. These goals are able to be achieved by using smaller or larger saline breast implants, and also by adjusting the fill volume for each individual implant. 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.
