Tummy Tuck – Danville Abdominoplasty

jen — Mon, 14 May 2012 20:45:07 +0000

There are many men and women who are dissatisfied with their mid-section for various reasons. Factors such as genetics, aging, dramatic weight loss, and pregnancy often play a role in creating undesirable waistlines. For those with excessive sagging skin in the mid-section, or loose and/or separated abdominal muscles, a Danville Abdominoplasty may be the best way to restore youth and improve the body contour of the abdomen.

Just as there are different factors which contribute to dissatisfaction of the abdominal region, there are a couple different Tummy Tuck techniques designed to meet the individual needs of each patient, some of which are more invasive than others depending on the amount of treatment needed. Likewise, a Tummy Tuck alone may not be enough to create the desired results and other body contouring procedures are often used in conjunction with it such as Liposuction to remove any excess fat deposits, Thigh and Buttock Lift or Breast Lift.

“The surgery takes 2-3 hours depending on the patient and can be done with an overnight stay or as an outpatient procedure in a fully accredited private surgery center. The procedure is done under a general anesthetic. Activity level and weight resistance is restricted for 2-3 weeks and then light aerobic exercise for 3-4 weeks with adding weight resistance and increasing intensity to a full work out by 6-8 weeks. Sit-ups and push- ups can be started at 6-8 weeks.”

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your heavy, sagging brow and would like to alleviate the severe, angry and aged appearance it’s projecting on you, you may be a good candidate for a Brow Lift surgery.

Brow Lift surgery is designed to tighten and lift the skin of the brow to create a smoother, more alert and youthful appearance. There are two options for the Brow Lift: an Endoscopic Brow Lift and an Open Forehead Lift. An Endoscopic Brow Lift is minimally invasive and uses small incisions in the hairline. The procedure takes around two hours and recovery time is minimal. An Open Forehead Lift is more extensive and is usually only done if there is an extensive amount of loose, sagging skin.

A Brow Lift is sometimes done in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift) or a Face Lift. To learn more about your options, contact our office to schedule your consultation with Danville Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Michelle J. Place.
