Body from New Leaf Plastic Surgery

Our bodies change over time, whether we like it or not. These changes can adversely affect our body image and self confidence. New Leaf Plastic and Reconstructive surgery can help you achieve the look you want. Eating healthy and exercising are always important habits to have, but aren’t the only tools available. At New Leaf Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery we offer several services to help reshape your body and give you a positive body shape and image.

Body Contouring After Massive Weight Loss

Whether you’ve experienced major weight loss through diet and exercise or bariatric surgery, you most likely have excess sagging skin around your face, neck, upper arms, breast, abdomen, buttocks and/or thighs. Skin loses its elasticity when it’s been stretched to accommodate excess weight. When that weight comes off, the once-stretched skin is left sagging and no amount of diet or exercise will make it go away. This sagging skin can make your body contour appear irregular and unshapely. People with extra folds of skin can develop rashes than can be extremely bothersome. At New Leaf Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery we will help restore your body to a more flattering contour.

Most patients seeking body contouring procedures will choose to undergo multiple operations performed in stages. Some of these procedures include: Face and Neck Lift, Arm Lift, Breast Lift, Inner Thigh Lift and Lower Body Lift.

Liposuction

For patients, both women and men, wanting a bit of body contouring here and there, liposuction may be the answer. The liposuction procedure involves removing pockets of body fat from under the skin using a vacuum-like instrument. Liposuction is not intended for removal of massive amounts of fat. A good candidate for liposuction is one who is in good physical shape, of normal weight, has healthy elastic skin but just has certain areas of stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to traditional weight loss through diet and exercise. The most common “trouble areas” are thighs, abdomen, flanks or “love handles”, upper arms, under the chin.

Tummy Tuck

One of the most-performed plastic surgery procedures, the tummy tuck, helps give patients seeking firmer, flatter abdomens the smooth profile they desire. At New Leaf Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, we are helping patients achieve their desired body shape. During a tummy tuck, excess fat and skin are removed from the lower abdomen along with surgically tightening the underlying weakened and/or separated muscles. This also involves bringing the belly button out through a new incision. The tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure. It is intended for patients who have lost muscle tone and have excess skin from pregnancy, aging, significant weight loss, or prior surgery that can’t be improved with diet and exercise.
