Liposuction

One of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures, liposuction sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, chin, cheeks, neck and upper arms that have not responded to diet and exercise. Local anesthesia or general anesthesia may be used and the procedure can last anywhere from one to five hours depending on the amount of fat being removed.

There are several different methods surgeons use when performing liposuction, including tumescent liposuction, the super-wet technique, power assisted liposuction, and ultrasound assisted liposuction.  In all types a tiny incision is made in as inconspicuous a place as possible; a cannula (small tube) then breaks up the fat layer and suctions it out.  Liposuction is safe and effective and yields a great result.  Dr. Fallek stresses that a great result is dependent on the surgeon, not the type of liposuction that is performed.

Dr. Fallek is pleased to now offer VASER® liposelection for his clients.

Abdominoplasty ("Tummy Tuck")

Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that helps to flatten and shape the abdomen and waist by removing excess fat and skin and tightening muscles. The best candidates are in good physical condition with pockets of fat or loose skin that haven't responded well to diet and exercise. Abdominoplasty can also be useful for women with stretched skin and muscles from pregnancy, although results from the procedure will diminish if they continue to bear children. The procedure takes approximately two to five hours and can be performed with general anesthesia or local anesthesia with a sedative. Recovery time ranges from two weeks to a few months, but with a balanced diet and regular exercise results are long-lasting. Abdominoplasty will likely leave a permanent scar stretching between the hips, although it should be low enough for even a bikini to conceal it. Dr. Fallek also tightens the rectus muscles of the abdomen, giving a more refined shape to his results.

Buttock Lift

Dr. Fallek offers many different ways to enhance the appearance of the buttock area.  The simplest method may be fat injections to the buttock area.  Transferring fat to this area is usually done in conjunction with liposuction and is safe and effective.   True lifts may be performed with a thin scar at the top of the buttock area, hidden by a bikini, or in the lower aspect of the buttock/leg interface.  If you want to enlarge or re-shape your buttocks and have discovered that they do not respond to diet or exercise, buttock implants may be the solution. Buttock implants come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are made of soft silicone, which provide a firm, smooth yet natural feel.  Buttock lifts, injections, and implants take about two hours and is performed under general anesthesia. It may be performed in conjunction with liposuction for a more dramatic change in contour.

Upper Arm Lift

After substantial weight loss, weight gain or simply from the effects of aging, skin on the upper arms can become inelastic, loose and flabby. Arm lifts, also known as brachioplasty, remove that excess skin and fat. Patients who have significant amounts of fat may want to consider combining the procedure with liposuction.
