Abdominoplasty
Dr. Haiavy can help you achieve your appearance goals by reshaping and recontouring
your abdominal area by various surgical techniques, such as abdominoplasty or
liposuction with dermolipectomy (removal of excess skin). Abdominoplasty or Tummy
Tuck is a procedure for patients that have loose skin, stretch marks and loose
abdominal muscles due to pregnancy, loss of weight or aging. With a full abdominoplasty,
excess abdominal skin is removed from the lower portion of the abdomen below
the belly button, the abdominal muscles are tightened and the belly button is
repositioned in the new tightened skin. Some patients might get a better result
from a combination of abdominoplasty and mild liposuction, although it is inadvisable
to perform aggressive liposuction at the time of an abdominoplasty.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Liposuction with Dermolipectomy: (Mini-Tuck)
Although abdominoplasty
remains a popular option for treatment of excess abdominal
skin and fat with muscle laxity, liposuction with dermolipectomy (skin excision)
can achieve similar results with less recovery and a shorter scar. With this
procedure, excess fat is removed from the abdomen, hip and waist regions with
tumescent liposuction and excess skin is removed from the lower portion of the
abdomen. The belly button remains in place and does not need to be repositioned.
The muscles are not usually tightened with this procedure, although it could
be done if necessary.
Schedule your complimentary consultation for
surgery to determine which options are in your best interest,
including the full tummy tuck, mini-tuck or liposuction with
dermolipectomy. These procedures can be performed at our Fully
Accredited Surgery Centers in Rancho Cucamonga and Beverly
Hills or at affiliated hospitals.
Mesotherapy
What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a revolutionary new aesthetic treatment
that functions as a no “down time” alternative to traditional cosmetic procedures. A French doctor named Michel Pistor
developed this technique in 1952. Mesotherapy is now used for a variety of cosmetic treatments which include cellulite reduction,
stretch marks, scar revision, spot weight reduction and to improve the appearance of skin laxity and wrinkles.
What are the benefits of Mesotherapy?
- Mesotherapy can be used to improve the appearance of cellulite, fat reduction, wrinkles and sagging skin.
- Spot reduction and contouring areas of fat around locations such as love handles, thighs, knees, double chin, eye fat pads and saddlebags can be achieved.
- Medications injected into skin promote production of collagen and elastin, which will result in the improvement of the skin’s appearance by reducing the proliferation of wrinkles.
- Tightening and toning of the area treated occurs with the return of skin elasticity created by the enhanced production of collagen and elastin.
- Treatments will slow down and reverse the progression of wrinkling and maintain a more youthful and invigorated look.
- You can return to normal activities immediately following your treatment.
Treatment:
During treatment, medication is injected into the middle layer of the skin, also known as mesoderm. These remedies are
introduced in very small doses to the areas that need treatment. Each skin condition or body area that you would like treated
demands a specific formula to achieve the desired result. For example, skin rejuvenation would require a
formula that includes nutrients, vitamins, minerals and hyaluronic acid. To effectively treat cellulite,
several compounds are injected to dissolve the connective tissues that produce the "cottage cheese" appearance and increase
lymphatic flow.
The microinjections are relatively painless, so there is
no need for anesthesia. You can resume normal activity following treatment. You may only experience some slight bruising from
the injections, we go away in 2-5 days.
How long do the results last?
Your lifestyle will determine how long your results last.
A with invasive procedures such as liposuction, good dietary habits and exercise are necessary to keep the fat from returning.
Since Mesotherapy is a natural process, which works with your body’s physiology, your doctor may recommend a change in your
lifestyle to maximize the overall duration.
How many treatments will I need?
The circumstances and condition of the area to be treated
will determine the number of treatments required to achieve your desired results. For example, the reduction of cellulite
requires more treatments than fat reduction due to the subsequent regenerative process. During your consultation, the number
and frequency of treatments will be discussed along with your medical history.
