Tummy Tuck

Fat Transfer Cost

As a surgeon, my fees and my fat transfer cost are created solely based on the amount of work and surgery time required. The process of inserting the fat back in to create your ideal body physique is relatively quick compared to the fat removal process which may take up to several hours which can affect the fat transfer cost ultimately.

For example, for fat transfer cost in a male body contouring case that requires fat grafting to the chest will often be less expensive than a traditional HD Brazilian buttock lift surgery. This is due to the fact that the volume of fat that is required for transfer to the chest is approximately 100cc whereas it is around 1000cc for the buttocks.

Tummy Tuck Muscle Repair

This can be evaluated by having patients let their bellies go and stick it out as much as possible and then suck it their bellies in. If the difference between sticking out and sucking in is great, then this indicates a diastasis. When diastasis is present, then only a full tummy tuck must be recommended rather than less invasive alternatives such as a mini tummy tuck.

This is often required to tighten loosened abdominal muscles and fascia. Abdominal muscles and fascia can become distended and thinned out when increase and prolonged pressure is placed on the tissues. This can occur following severe weight gain or during pregnancy. When muscle thinning does occur, it occurs along the medial border of the two paired rectus muscles.

How to Get an Innie Belly Button with a Tummy Tuck

Ever wonder how to get an innie belly button with a tummy tuck? Tummy tucks have been traditionally plagued by the appearance of an aesthetically unappealing belly button created in the middle of the abdomen. As a tummy tuck revision center, I see suboptimal belly buttons weekly. The most common concern is the belly button incision line ring that is too large and visible as a target over the front surface of the belly.

Tummy Tuck Men

This 33-year-old male underwent scarless skin tightening with Renuvion and VASER on arms.

Scarless skin tightening has revolutionized the cosmetic surgery body contouring world. Scarless skin tightening has been made possible through a process called subdermal coagulation that describes the contraction of collagen molecules located in the deeper skin layer as well as underlying fibroseptal network(tissues that create a net-like web made of collagen that help keep the skin integrity).

VASER Tummy Tuck

Typically, VASER allows for comprehensive (90 to 95%) fat removal rather than just partial fat removal (40 to 50%). Due to this high capacity of fat removal, until recently VASER liposuction patients were selected carefully to avoid patients with loose skin who could be at risk of postoperative deformity of skin redundancy.

With the advent of VASER tummy tuck, minimal to moderate skin redundancy detected can be managed with a mini tummy while simultaneously sculpting the abdomen with VASER technology. Great care must be taken to avoid any undermining of tissues that are being liposuctioned. This will ensure appropriate skin vascularity.

Creating the Best Belly Button for a Tummy Tuck

Creating the best belly button for a tummy tuck is important. The umbilicus or belly button is a central abdominal feature in both men and women. Located along the midline, the umbilicus is a small depression in the abdomen that plays a fundamental role in the overall aesthetic of the abdomen and the body as a whole.

Successfully locating the neo-umbilicus is crucial to optimizing an abdominoplasty and creating the best belly button for a tummy tuck.

High Definition Body Contouring

High definition body contouring refers to achieving stunning body contour outcomes that are superior to traditional body contouring results.

Several factors are required to achieve “jaw-dropping” results and these include attaining:
a) aesthetically pleasing contour lines
b) 360 degrees of contouring
c) anatomic muscular highlights
d)smooth skin contour

Aesthetically pleasing contour lines refer to the outer aesthetic lines that are created with mindfulness to female and male differences. For the female patient, there must be a maximally narrowed waistline that transitions smoothly to the maximally wide buttocks and hip contour.

This contour is typically described by the Tilde Curve, “~”. In contrast, the ideal male contour requires a distinct junction between the buttocks and the lower back as described by a shelf appearance created by a prominent lateral upper buttock prominence.

What Is The Safe Volume For Liposuction?

What Is The Safe Volume For Liposuction?

The tumescent solution contains both lidocaine and epinephrine. The lidocaine is a numbing agent that helps reduce pain. The epinephrine is a vasoconstricting agent that contracts the vessels above thus helping reduce blood loss into the surrounding tissues.

When the vessels contact, they become less vulnerable to injury from the liposuction cannulas. Liposuction cannulas are hollow bore rods that literally strip the fat out of the body. Although they are intended to remove the fat, they obviously can theoretically injury other components in the tissues where the fat live. This can include ligaments, nerves, and vessels.

Minimizing Abdominal Incision Line Scarring

In order to minimize scarring after abdominal surgery, one must ensure there is minimal tension at the incision line. A scar is fibrous tissue replacing the normal skin and the body’s natural way of repairing the skin after an injury. Tension is one of the main reasons for excessive scarring.

When performing abdominoplasty, tummy tuck, it is imperative to maximally remove the redundant skin but not overdoing it so there isn’t unnecessary tension in the area. In order to minimize tension in the abdomen and minimize incision line scarring, different actions are taken.
