|
| A Tummy
Tuck is a procedure to remove
excess skin and fat from the abdomen,
and to tighten the muscles of the
abdominal wall. This surgery is helpful
in women who, through multiple pregnancies
or significant weight loss, have stretched
their abdominal muscles and skin beyond
the point where they can return to
normal. |

|
|
| 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. |
 |
|
|
| Despite
good health and a reasonable level
of exercise, some people may still
have a body with disproportionate
contours due to localized fat deposits.
These areas may be due to family traits
rather than a lack of weight control
or fitness. Liposuction slims and
reshapes specific areas of the body
by removing excess fat deposits, improving
your body contours and proportion,
and ultimately enhancing your self-image. |

|
|
| A Breast
Lift also known as mastopexy,
is a surgery performed on the breasts
to lift and reshape breasts that sag.
Factors such as nursing, pregnancy
and gravity over time, change the
appearance of the breasts. As women
age, the elasticity of the skin becomes
more loose and saggy. Women will lose
that firmness and shape they once
had. |
 |
|
|
| Breast
Augmentation is a surgical procedure
to enhance the size and shape of a
woman’s breasts. Breast enhancement
is usually done to enhance the body
contour of a woman who, for personal
reasons, feels her breast size is
too small, to balance a difference
in breast size or to fill in breast
volume loss due to pregnancy or breast-feeding. |
 |
|
|
| 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 and may reduce the
chances of your implants being felt
through your skin. |
 |
|
|
| Silicone
gel Implants are made of a gel-filler
that performs as a solid unit opposed
to a liquid unit. The gel holds together
as one, while retaining the natural
“give” that resembles
actual breast tissue. Silicone Gel-Filled
breast implants are offered in both
a round gel implant or a contour (anatomic)
shaped gel breast implant. |
 |
|
|
| Saline-filled
breast implants are filled with
a saltwater solution similar to the
fluid that makes up most of the human
body. Each implant has a self-sealing
valve used to fill the device during
your surgery. Implants are offered
in a variety of textures, sizes and
shapes to provide you the greatest
flexibility toward achieving breast
enhancement goals. |
 |
|
| If you
are bothered by the signs of aging
in your face, a facelift may be right
for you. Technically known as a rhytidectomy,
a facelift is a surgical procedure
to improve visible signs of aging
in the face and neck. |
