BODY CONTOURING

Standing in front of the mirror, if you see sagging arms when wearing sleeveless clothes, then it is time to tone up the arms. The hanging skin on the upper arms is not something that does not look pleasant. If you have such arms and have your friends point it out, causing many embarrassing moments, then it is time to get it corrected. The hanging skin can be caused if you have lost some weight recently and the fat has gone away, but the stretched skin remains there. If such is a case with you, then arm lift surgery in Mumbai India is the answer for you.

The procedure addresses problem areas, such as:

What are the steps of a body lift procedure?

Body lift procedures are surgical procedures and they require extensive incisions. Incision length and pattern depend on the amount and location of excess skin to be removed, as well as surgical judgment. Advanced techniques usually allow incisions to be placed in strategic locations where they can be hidden by most types of clothing and swimsuits.

Step 1 – Anesthesia

Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedure. The choices include intravenous sedation and general anesthesia. Your doctor will recommend the best choice for you.

Step 2 – The incision

One common technique of complete lower body lift uses incisions similar to a bikini pattern to tighten the abdomen, groin, waist, thigh and buttock in one procedure. An incision around the body removes an apron of excess skin and fat and repositions and tightens tissues.Surgical body lifts may require liposuction to achieve an improved contour.

Step 3 – Closing the incisions

Deep sutures within underlying tissues help to form and support the newly shaped contours. Sutures, skin adhesives, tapes or clips may be used to close the skin incisions.

Step 4 – See the results

The results of a body lift are visible almost immediately. It may take as long as one to two years for the final results to fully develop. Get more information on body lift results.

BODY CONTOURING   ARM LIFT

Standing in front of the mirror, if you see sagging arms when wearing sleeveless clothes, then it is time to tone up the arms. The hanging skin on the upper arms is not something that does not look pleasant. If you have such arms and have your friends point it out, causing many embarrassing moments, then it is time to get it corrected. The hanging skin can be caused if you have lost some weight recently and the fat has gone away, but the stretched skin remains there. If such is a case with you, then arm lift surgery in Mumbai India is the answer for you. Army lift surgery is also known as brachioplasty in medical terms. Brachioplasty is a surgery that aims to give the upper arm a more contoured and visually pleasing shape. The fat and the extra skin on the upper arm is removed in the arm lift surgery in Mumbai India and the tissues are worked on to give them some elasticity. Post brachioplasty the upper arms look smooth and fitter.

There are many advantages of having an arm lift surgery. You will be able to wear your favourite outfit, instead of flabby arms you will get normal looking arms which will match the rest of the body, since extra is removed the arms have swifter movements, the rejuvenated skin looks youthful and you have an increased confidence to name a few.

Arm lift surgery procedure

Brachioplasty is a simple process and begins with the administration of anaesthesia. Anaesthesia is mostly administered for the comfort and you can opt for either intravenous or general. You can discuss with the surgeon on what will be better for you. Once the anaesthesia has taken the effect the surgeon will make an incision on the previously marked indications on the arm. The length of the incision is made depending on the amount of excess skin. The pattern of incision will also vary with the same. Incisions are made inside the arm and at the back of the arm and can extend up to the elbow. The fat is then removed using a direct method or liposuction. The type of incision is very important and they depend on the specific condition. Sometimes only the minimal incisions are needed under the underarm area when only little shaping is needed. After the incisions are made the under lying tissue is tightened and reshaped using the sutures. Once the surgeon is satisfied the skin is smoothed over the new contour.

The incisions are closed using absorbable sutures and the stiches are removed after two or three weeks once they are completely healed. You can see the changes in the shape and appearance of your arms almost immediately. A little amount of swelling and bruising is common but it will go away in few days. During the recovery period you will have dressings and bandages on the incisions and in some cases the arm will be wrapped in an elastic bandage to keep the swelling under control. A small thin tube is used to drain the excess fluid and blood. Make sure that you follow your doctor's instructions on recovery to the letter to aid healing. The recovery after arm lift surgery is fairly quick and you can return to normal activity in one or two week and even lift heavy weight in six weeks. Scarring will be present but in the hands of an expert surgeon it will be very carefully done so that is not visible much.

In some cases the results might not be visible immediately after the surgery and sometimes more than one surgery is needed. However the results of the arm lift surgery in Mumbai India are long lasting but you will have to maintain a stable weight and keep yourself fit. Of course ageing effect will show on your arm but it will only affect the laxity of the skin and not the shape of the arm.

BODY CONTOURING   BUTTOCK AUGMENTATION

Buttock augmentation is a procedure that reshapes and enhances your gluteal area, providing you with a more shapely buttock profile. In the past ten years, this procedure has become increasingly popular worldwide, with round, firm buttocks often seen as a symbol of femininity and sensuality. The most frequent methods for enlarging and reshaping your buttocks are fat grafting using your own natural fatty tissue (popularly referred to as the "Brazilian butt lift"), or with buttock implants.

When to Consider Buttock Augmentation

  • If your buttocks are too small for your body frame and you want a more balanced look
  • If the shape of your gluteal region (buttocks) is too flat or square and you would like more curves and a more youthful appearance
  • If weight loss or the aging process has left your buttocks loose, sagging, or flat
  • If clothes and swimwear do not fit properly on your figure
  • If you would gain self-esteem or self-confidence from such a procedure
  • Considerations

    Pros

  • Clothes and swimwear may fit better
  • Your body may appear more shapely and proportionate.
  • Your buttocks may be firmer and rounder, creating a more youthful and curvaceous appearance.
  • Cons

  • It is possible for implants to slip postoperatively or for some of the fat to be reabsorbed, causing asymmetry.
  • If you are very slender and want significant augmentation, you may need implants to achieve the size that you desire.
  • Because of postoperative swelling, it may take three to six months before the full effect of this surgery is evident.
  • These are the top pros and cons to weigh when considering buttock augmentation. If you wish to focus on what is unique to you, please consult with your aesthetic plastic surgeon.

    Are you a good candidate for a buttock augmentation?

    The following are some common reasons why you may want to consider buttock augmentation:

  • Your buttocks are too small for your body frame and you want a more balanced look.
  • Weight loss or the aging process has left your buttocks loose, sagging, or flat.
  • Clothes or swimwear are baggy or do not fit properly on your figure.
  • The shape or size of your butt makes you feel self-conscious and you desire more curves.
  • If you are in good general health, have a positive attitude and realistic expectations, you are most likely a good candidate for this procedure.

    How is a buttock augmentation procedure performed?

    The two most popular methods for buttock augmentation are autologous fat transfer (using your own natural fatty tissue), also called the Brazilian butt lift, and gluteal implant surgery with or without fat transfer for additional contouring.

    During an initial consultation, we talk with patients about their overall health and expectations, and discuss what options and procedures might work best. Mommy makeovers can be done on patients as young as their 20s. Recovery time will vary, depending on the surgical procedures involved. For long-term results, it’s important to maintain a healthy weight. We can recommend a diet and exercise plan to help patients maintain the long-term impact of a mommy makeover.

    BODY CONTOURING   TUMY TUCK

    A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the abdomen. During a tummy tuck — also known as abdominoplasty — excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen. Connective tissue in the abdomen (fascia) usually is tightened with sutures as well. The remaining skin is then repositioned to create a more toned look.

    You might choose to have a tummy tuck if you have excess fat or skin around the area of your bellybutton or a weak lower abdominal wall. A tummy tuck can also boost your body image.

    Why it's done

    There are a number of reasons you might have excess fat, poor elasticity of the skin or weakened connective tissue in your abdomen. These include:

    • Significant changes in weight
    • Pregnancy
    • Abdominal surgery, such as a C-section’s a good option for people who want to add height instead of volume to their lips
    • Aging
    • Your natural body type

    A tummy tuck can remove loose, excess skin and fat, and tighten weak fascia. A tummy tuck can also remove stretch marks and excess skin in the lower abdomen below the bellybutton. However, a tummy tuck won't correct stretch marks outside of this area. If you've previously had a C-section, your plastic surgeon might be able to incorporate your existing C-section scar into your tummy tuck scar.

    A tummy tuck can also be done in combination with other body contouring cosmetic procedures, such as breast surgery. If you've had fat removed from your abdomen (liposuction), you may decide to have a tummy tuck because liposuction removes tissue just under the skin and fat but not any excess skin.

    A tummy tuck isn't for everyone. Your doctor might caution against a tummy tuck if you:

  • Plan to lose a significant amount of weight
  • Might consider future pregnancy
  • Have a severe chronic condition, such as heart disease or diabetes
  • Have a body mass index that's greater than 30
  • Are a smoker
  • Had a previous abdominal surgery that caused significant scar tissue
  • A tummy tuck poses various risks, including:

  • Fluid accumulation beneath the skin (seroma). Drainage tubes left in place after surgery can help reduce the risk of excess fluid. Your doctor might also remove fluid after surgery using a needle and syringe.
  • Poor wound healing. Sometimes areas along the incision line heal poorly or begin to separate. You might be given antibiotics during and after surgery to prevent an infection.
  • Unexpected scarring. The incision scar from a tummy tuck is permanent, but is placed along the easily hidden bikini line. The length and visibility of the scar varies from person to person.
  • Tissue damage or death. During a tummy tuck, fatty tissue deep within your skin in the abdominal area might get damaged or die. Smoking increases this risk. Depending on the size of the area, tissue might heal on its own or require a surgical touch-up procedure.
  • Changes in skin sensation. During a tummy tuck, the repositioning of your abdominal tissues can affect the nerves in the abdominal area, and infrequently, in the upper thighs. You'll likely feel some reduced sensation or numbness. This usually diminishes in the months after the procedure.
  • Before a tummy tuck you might also need to:

  • Stop smoking. Smoking decreases blood flow in the skin and can slow the healing process. In addition, smoking increases the risk of tissue damage. If you smoke, your doctor will recommend that you stop smoking before surgery and during recovery.
  • Avoid certain medications. You'll likely need to avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements, which can increase bleeding.
  • BODY CONTOURING   THIGH LIFT

    With a thigh lift, you can expect better-proportioned contours of the thighs and lower body. By reducing excess skin and fat, the procedure reshapes the upper leg, resulting in a leaner, smoother appearance. Often performed in combination with liposuction and other body lifts, the results of a thigh lift are visible almost immediately and are long-lasting when maintaining a relatively stable weight and general fitness.

    Is This a Good Option For You?

    • You are physically healthy/li>
    • You do not smoke
    • You have a positive outlook and specific, but realistic goals in mind for the improvement of your appearance
