Problem - Do you long for a taut, trim body that represents the youthful, sexy person you are inside?

Solution - Body Sculpting can trim and rejuvenate your body to your desired shape and size when diet and exercise aren’t enough.

Body Sculpting for a shapelier, younger you.

Maybe you’ve tried exercise and diets but still have areas where you simply cannot rid yourself of excess skin or bulging, unwanted pockets of fat. Why not have the body you’ve always wanted through state-of-the-art cosmetic sculpting and rejuvenation. Sophisticated plastic surgery procedures can correct many “problem areas” and decrease the thickness of fat beneath the skin.

We encourage you to have a complete cosmetic surgery consultation with Dr. Ganchi. This includes a medical history, thorough examination and discussion to determine your goals and expectations. We will give you our best recommendation for what procedures will help you achieve your dream.

What body sculpting procedures are available?

Liposculpture (liposuction - lipoinjection) - Liposculpture is the removal of excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body. Tumescent liposuction is the latest and most effective method for fat removal. First, we expand the fatty area with infiltration of a solution of saline and mild anesthetic formula that reduces bruising and enhances fat removal. Then, using a special wand, we gently draw fat from beneath your skin. Another newer procedure is called liposhifting or lipoinjection, enabling us to transfer fat from one area of your body to another, for a more balanced body shape. Your body contour can be dramatically changed within a few hours - with minimal recovery - using today’s liposculpture techniques.

Tummy Tuck (abdominoplasty) - A tummy tuck removes excess abdominal fat, unsightly bulges, rolls of fat, protruding belly fat and loose skin and some stretch marks caused by aging, gravity, or pregnancy. Loose abdominal muscles, often a result of pregnancy or weight loss, can be tightened. A tummy tuck can help you:

· - Remove pockets of accumulated fat
· - Restore muscle tone and function after pregnancy
· - Smooth and tighten loose skin
· - Narrow waistline
· - Reduce stretch marks
· - Tighten abdominal muscles
· - Create a flat, firm, shapely stomach
· - Restore the shape of your belly button

Breast Lift (mastopexy) and Breast Augmentation - A breast lift can give your breasts a more youthful, “perky” appearance. By raising and reshaping sagging breasts, removing excess skin, and repositioning the remaining breast tissue and nipples, your breast will better complement your female curves. Adding breast implant enhancement can balance your body for a more pleasing, fuller bust line. Your confidence in your looks and sex appeal will certainly change the image you present to the world.

· - Lift sagging breasts
· - Recontour breast tissue
· - Remove excess skin
· - Reposition droopy nipples
· - Add implants if needed for a fuller, younger look
· - Create a rounder, more natural and ideal appearance

Male Breast Reduction (gynecomastia) - A common procedure for men who have accumulated unwanted fat in their upper chest or breast area. Liposuction alone or in combination with gland excision is the preferred method for the treatment of gynecomastia.

Male Pectoral Implants - Some men find that even after physical training, weight lifting, and other efforts to build pectoral muscles, the best solution is a simple implant procedure. Solid silicone implants come in a variety of sizes and shapes. This implant procedure helps men correct the shape of the chest with a solid, yet pliable implant below the existing pectoral muscle.

Calf Implants for Men or Women - These are ideal for those whose leg muscles do not respond to exercise regimens. Similar to pectoral implants, these come in a variety of solid silicone shapes to overlay your own calf muscle for shapelier legs.

Hip and Buttock Enhancement - Liposuction or liposhifting is used to sculpt the hips and buttocks into a more shapely form. In addition, buttock or gluteal implants are available in various shapes and sizes to give you a permanent, fuller and rounder look that lifts and shapes your buttocks.

Arm Lift (brachioplasty) - This is done to correct and rejuvenate upper arms that have hanging, loose skin and/or stubborn fatty deposits. Loose arm skin is part of the natural aging process or develops after weight gain and loss. Liposuction, skin removal, or a combination of techniques may be used to achieve the final result.

Thigh Lift and Body Lift - These procedures are designed for sculpting and elevating the hips, buttocks, inner and outer thighs, and knees for a smoother, more balanced overall contour. Sometimes this procedure can be combined with a tummy tuck to create the most harmonious shape of the torso and thighs.

Where is body sculpting performed?
Some cases can be performed in an outpatient setting under sedation or general anesthesia. Because each individual is unique, we will work with you to determine the best location for surgery and the optimal care for your post-surgical recovery time. At the very least, plan to have a family member or friend drive you to and from surgery and care for you for the first 24 hours.

What is right for me?
Before undertaking any surgical procedure, we will take a complete medical history and perform a thorough examination. Your age, health, skin tone, and fat distribution must be carefully evaluated in advance of any body sculpting procedure. It is important to have realistic expectations and a full understanding of all aspects of surgery and recovery. Many patients choose to have more then one procedure performed at once, so it is critical to be prepared after surgery. We will closely monitor your progress throughout your recovery.
