Smartlipo® and Slimlipo® Laser Liposuction Advantages
Smartlipo® and Slimlipo® laser liposuction advantages over other liposuction techniques, such as classical liposuction and ultrasonic liposuction.
High Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty Is My Preferred Technique
As a plastic surgeon who is interested in refining abdominal contour, I divide my practice into two eras: the time before I used the high lateral tension technique and everything since then. In the earlier era, the abdominoplasty procedure frequently left me a little disappointed. I could tighten the skin of the abdomen, but I didn’t feel I necessarily was creating a beautiful shape, such as I might be able to do with a face lift or a breast lift. Often the results seemed expressionless, lacking in form.
Cellulaze for Cellulite Reduction
Cellulaze is an FDA approved procedure that provides for a significant long term reduction in cellulite with a single treatment. Patients appreciate that the treatment can be carried out in the comfort and privacy of our Chicago and Winnetka offices under local anesthesia.
Laser Lipoplasty
The next great advance in surgical fat removal is laser lipoplasty. There are two main technologies that can be used in this regard. One is known as Smart lipo® and is manufactured by the Cynosure Corporation and the other is known as Slim lipo® and is manufactured by the Palomar Corporation. To learn how this new technology can benefit you, call for an appointment at either our Chicago office or our Winnetka office.
Surgical Correction for C-section Scars
The excess skin created by a C-section may be corrected by a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty procedure. As with all other aspects of plastic surgery, proper treatment comes from making a proper diagnosis. There are three factors which contribute to the bulge: a tight band of scar tissue underneath the original C-section scar, excess fat in the lower abdomen, and loose skin. I educate my Chicago patients, about the relative contribution of each of these factors that will determine the best treatment.
