Abdominoplasty, also known as a “tummy tuck”, is a procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. You may benefit from an abdominoplasty done in conjunction with liposuction to remove fat deposits from the hips for a better and more pleasing body contour.

Meet with Dr. Niessen and see if a tummy tuck is right for you!

During breast augmentation, implants will either be placed under the chest wall (submuscular) or on top of the muscle and under the breast gland (subglandular).

Submuscular placement may provide you with youthful-looking breasts for a longer time, may reduce the chances of your implants being felt through your skin, and it may help reduce the chance of scar tissue hardening around your implants (capsular contracture). It will also make it easier to image your breast during a mammogram.

Meet with Dr. Niessen to discuss which placement would be best for you.

Can I go to the tanning salon or sunbathe if I have implants?
Tanning at salons or sun bathing will not hurt your breast implant, but it may make your scars unfavourable. You should cover your scars with sunscreen, should you choose to tan, until your scars have faded.

Technically known as a rhytidectomy, a facelift is a surgical procedure to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck, such as:

Sagging in the midface

Deep creases below the lower eyelids

Deep creases between the nose and mouth

Fat that has fallen or is displaced

Loss of muscle tone in the lower face that may create jowls

Loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw

A facelift is designed to correct these aging features, restoring a more youthful, rested appearance with uplifted contours and improved tone in facial skin and underlying muscle.

Do you need a facelift?

The active agent which is injected is called phosphatidylcholine (PPC). PPC is produced naturally by the body. It is a component of all the cells in the body and is highly concentrated in liver cells, fat cells and the covering of nerve cells. The PPC used for fat dissolving injections is harvested from the soy plant. PPC injected into fat deposits has a detergent like effect, causing fat cells to rupture and dissolve. Fat released by the cell is metabolized by the liver and excreted by the body. There is also tightening of the skin in treatment areas, which may be more than would be achieved by liposuctioning of the fat deposit. It can be used all over the body: face, neck, arms, back fat rolls, abdomen, thighs, love handles and knees.
