Abnormally large breasts (breast hypertrophy) is a serious medical condition that can result in physical and emotional discomforts including:

Persistent breast pain Neck, back, and shoulder pain Redness/skin irritation underneath the breasts Open sores, infection, or abscesses

Women struggling with overly large breasts may also suffer from painful indentations and skin irritation in the shoulders from bra straps and face postural changes as weight on the front of the body gradually rounds the spine. A loss of nipple sensation is also possible in women suffering from breast hypertrophy.

Dr. Joseph Fata understands that many...

Breast lift surgery is designed to lift sagging breast tissue for a perkier, firmer, and more youthful appearance. Indianapolis plastic surgeon Dr. Joseph Fata was one of the first in the area to offer the short-scar breast lift technique. This technique requires only a small incision be made next to the nipple and is ideal for women with mild breast sagging.

For more pronounced tissue sagging, incisions may need to extend around the nipple and, when needed, vertically from nipple to breast crease. During your initial consultation, it will be determined which option will produce the best results.

Dermal fillers are used to restore volume, reduce the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles, and produce a more youthfully appealing look. While sometimes referred to as facial fillers, “facial” is too limiting. Many of the injectable fillers offered by Indianapolis plastic surgeon Dr. Joseph Fata can produce stunning results in other parts of the body, including hands and decolletage, to provide a smooth and healthy-looking appearance.

Choosing a Provider

Many day spas and “medical spas” offer injectable fillers like Juvederm, Radiesse, and Restylane. At these locations, dermal...

The best candidates for tummy tuck surgery are men and women who are close to their goal weight. Abdominoplasty will remove stubborn fat deposits and trim excessive skin to restore...

You must be at least 18 years old to undergo breast augmentation with saline implants at Renaissance Plastic Surgery. For silicone breast implants, the FDA requires you be at least 22 years old. There is no upper age limit for this procedure.

Many women continue to develop into their early 20s - some developing well into their mid to late 20s - and it may be a good idea to postpone breast enhancement until that time. The best way to determine if now is the right time for your breast augmentation procedure is through a one-on-one consultation with board-certified Indianapolis plastic surgeon Dr....

Love handles are those deposits of fat and skin that reside just above the waist. Like all accumulations of fat, love handles may be the result of dietary choices and a lack of physical activity. They may also be a result of hormones or an underlying medical condition such as hyperthyroidism or sleep apnea.

By and large, love handles are addressed through diet and exercise. Choosing a diet that focuses on fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and complex carbohydrates while eliminating foods high in sugar, white flour, and artificial ingredients is a great place to start. But fat elimination cannot always be accomplished...

You should plan on waiting at least six weeks following tummy tuck surgery to go swimming. This is equally true of taking a bath or anything that would require extended contact between incisions and water. While it is absolutely vital that you use a gentle soap and water to keep incisions clean during the tummy tuck recovery process, soaking them can have adverse effects.

When you come to Renaissance Plastic Surgery for a tummy tuck, Dr. Fata will carefully review pre and postoperative instructions, helping ensure you are fully prepared for what...
