BODY CONTOURING
Dr Moss offers liposuction, liposculpture, tummy tuck and abdominoplasty to improve the problem contours of your hips, thighs, tummy, face, neck and other problem areas.
LIPOSCULPTURE
Can be performed on any part of the body to remove fat deposits and sculpt a more pleasing contour. This is not a substitute for an adequate diet and exercise programme, and is best for someone of normal weight with good skin tone but resistant problem areas. Several areas can be reduced at the same time. Because the fat cells are permanently removed the bulge cannot come back in that place. Your new figure should be used to improve your motivation to exercise and keep to a healthy diet.
Problem:
Unwanted fat deposits on the hips, inner and outer thighs, buttocks, chin, neck and upper arms. Hard to budge love-handles (flanks) and tummy bulges.
Best Age:
Thirties +
Dr Moss' Liposuction Technique:
Dr Moss uses the "super-wet" variation of the tumescent liposculpture technique in order to soften the fat, minimise bruising and avoid the risk of any contour irregularity. Advanced liposculpture techniques with fine suction instruments and meticulous care are used for maximum skin toning and precise contouring. Ultrasonic liposuction is used only for treatment of specially fibrous regions such as the back. After the procedure a compression garment is worn for two weeks to speed recovery.
TUMMY TUCK (ABDOMINOPLASTY)
Problem:
Excess loose skin and weak muscles of the abdomen. These problems can be caused by pregnancy and significant weight loss. An abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is best performed on a person who is normal weight elsewhere in the body, but has skin looseness in the abdomen.
Solution:
Abdominoplasty produces a flatter, firmer tummy and a thinner waist. It is needed when there is loose skin or muscles as these cannot be adequately firmed by liposculpture alone. A tummy tuck may be performed at the same time as liposculpture to other areas.
Options
- Standard abdominoplasty:
A 'smile' shaped incision is made across the lower abdomen along the bikini line and a small incision is made inside the navel. Excess skin and fat is excised. The abdominal muscles can be tightened if they have weakened or separated after pregnancy. You will lose a couple of inches around the waist if your muscles have been tightened. A specially designed garment should be worn for up to 4 weeks following surgery but you will be glad for this support.
- Mini-abdominoplasty:
For minimal looseness isolated to the lower abdomen only, a mini-abdominoplasty can be performed necessitating only a single shorter incision running just above the pubic hair line.
