Cosmetic Body Contouring Treatments
Abdominoplasty | Tummy Tuck
Pregnancy, aging, and past surgical procedures can make it difficult to get rid of sagging or loose skin from the stomach area with just diet and exercise. Dr. Rubinstein performs abdominoplasty body contouring procedures to remove excess skin and fat from the stomach area. Tummy tuck surgery and liposuction can help patients lose the flab and get a flat stomach that is proportionate to their bodies. A compression garment may be used to minimize swelling following treatment. It can take a week or two for the initial healing to occur, but patients will gradually see results as the swelling decreases.
Post-Weight Loss Body Reconstructive Surgery
After working hard to lose weight with diet and exercise, many people are still unhappy with their appearance because of sagging skin and excess fat. Dr. Rubinstein performs body contouring procedures to remove extra skin anywhere it is a problem: the thighs, arms, stomach, breasts and butt can all be treated with surgery. Body contouring often takes place in stages to reduce trauma and downtime. Visible scarring is likely with this procedure, but advanced surgical techniques are used to hide scars as much as possible.
Mommy Makeover
Having children is a life-changing experience. Not only is your normal life disrupted, the physical changes to your body can be astounding. Dr. Rubinstein is an experienced plastic surgeon who can help you get your body back with a Mommy Make Over. Tummy tucks and other body contouring procedures can remove excess skin and fat from your pregnancy belly and get you back in a bikini. Combined with a breast lift and augmentation, you will once again feel confident in your own skin.
Buttock Reshaping Liposuction
Buttock reshaping uses two surgical procedures to augment the gluteus while reducing unwanted fat in other areas. First, liposuction is used to collect the fat that will be used to augment the buttocks. The fat is then processed and prepared to be injected into the gluteus through small incisions. The results will be immediately visible. Patients will need to avoid prolonged sitting for about two weeks as well as wear a compression garment to reduce swelling from the liposuction procedure. Some of the fat will be reabsorbed by the body and it can take up to a year for the final results to appear. Maintaining your weight is important for maintaining your results. The transferred fat is active and will grow or shrink with weight fluctuations.
