Dr. Fata will discuss the full range of available techniques to improve your shape during your consultation at his Indianapolis, Indiana office.
The term Body Contouring Surgery is used to describe a group of procedures designed to improve your shape. They include:
Body Contouring Techniques-Indianapolis, Indiana
Each Body Contouring procedure addresses a specific area of the body, and is designed to remove excess skin and fat. These procedures can help you if you have lost your shape because of pregnancy, moderate weight gain, or if you have loose skin after weight loss. They are not a substitute for weight loss, but they are helpful as a “jump start” for those who are trying to lose weight.
Liposuction is the most popular body contouring procedure. It is unique in that liposuction removes fat and fat cells but does not remove ski. After liposuction, loose skin will gradually tighten and you will continue to see improvement in your shape. Liposuction can successfully improve your shape if the amount of excess fat is not too large and you do not have a lot of loose skin.
A tummy tuck is the most popular body contouring procedure after liposuction. In a tummy tuck, excess abdominal skin is removed and the abdominal muscles, which may be stretched after pregnancy or weight gain, are tightened.
Another popular body contouring procedure is a breast lift. Dr. Fata uses the “vertical breast lift technique” because it produces a better breast shape and the scar is shorter than with other techniques. If you have lost breast volume, a combined breast lift/breast augmentation is may be needed to give you the best shape.
The techniques used for the tummy tuck are also used for the thigh lift and the arm lift.
In a thigh lift, excess skin of the inner thigh is removed. If a small amount of skin is to be removed, the thigh lift can be designed to place the scar near the groin crease. If the amount of excess skin is too great to use this approach, it may be necessary to extend the scar as a vertical line along the inner thigh.
In an arm lift, or brachioplasty, loose, hanging arm skin is removed. If there is a small amount of excess skin, the scar can be placed in a fold in the armpit. If there is too much excess skin, the scar is placed along the inner arm in a groove between the biceps and triceps muscles.
