Circumferential Abdominoplasty

In the weight loss surgery business, lower body lifts are terms that tend to be shuttled around a lot. One of the main reasons could be because the lower body is more prone to weight gain then the upper body.

A circumferential abdominoplasty or lower body lift can help take care of the excess subcutaneous fat and loose skin, remnants of a major weight loss surgery procedure or exercise.

The nature of this plastic surgery procedure allows the cosmetic surgeon to manipulate the buttocks and thighs of the patient thus justifying the term lower body lift.

The tummy tuck procedure is also helpful for women who have given birth and find themselves dealing with excess skin folds. Working on an incision created along the waistline of the patient, plastic surgeons apply liposuction surgery techniques to get rid of the fat.

The body area required to be manipulated for a circumferential abdominoplasty is rather extensive and generally includes the region above the hips and the knees. Due to this extensive area of the operation, circumferential abdominoplasty tends to cost more than a regular tummy tuck surgery or a liposuction.

If you are looking for a cosmetic surgery procedure to take care of your lower body however, this surgery technique can be a smart solution. You can get further information from the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

When A Football Mom Lost Her Tyres:

This has to be one of the best turnarounds of the decade!

Wayne Rooney’s mum, once a hefty sumo-sized lady, has unveiled her new look just in time for her son’s colossal wedding. Jeanette Rooney was notoriously photographed emerging from the sea wearing an electric blue tank and black shorts and showing off her bulges in all their glory back in 2003.

But 10th May saw her stepping out with no sign of sagging breasts or a wobbly tummy. The secret behind Jeanette’s amazing weight loss haven’t been let out as yet, but plastic surgery specialists believe that surgeries like breast lifts, liposuction and a tummy tuck surgery could have made the transformation possible.

Hmm… Jeanette’s footballer son is certainly jingling his pockets after the Premier League win and might have aided mommy dearest for a trip to the cosmetic surgeon.

Another group of critics point out that losing so much of weight could have been made possible by following a tough diet and exercise plan as well. A lot of weight loss patients however, find it better to get rid of the bulges with minimum effort put in.

A tummy tuck surgery is a good option though, as it can even tighten the stomach muscles while taking care of the excess skin. Small wonder then why at least 19,500 men and women opted for a tummy tuck in 2007 as a follow up to weight loss surgery.

Do you want to follow a similar weight loss path? Get in touch with the abdominoplasty surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Tummy Tuck Surgery Technique – The Fleur-de-lis Abdominoplasty:

A study conducted last year by the University of Pittsburgh and the University of California, Santa Barbara found out that women with smaller waists and big hips don’t really lag in the IQ department.

Look at Dita Von Teese- she has managed her burgeoning fortunes like a master and possesses quite a tiny waist (18 inches). Not one to stick in a bank job, the savvy Dita gets her corsets from a famous Parisian corset maker and requires at least 6 to 20 fittings for one in spite her waif waist.

If you would want a wasp waist like Dita, you could think of asking your tummy tuck plastic surgeon about the fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty procedure. This cosmetic procedure makes an anchor-shaped incision in the mid-section of the abdomen.

The abdominal skin is pulled together from the sides of the tummy as well as from the top and bottom sections. The scar formed as a result of this tummy tuck surgery appears horizontal at the bottom and vertical towards the top.

One really good thing in particular about the fleur-de-lis tummy tuck surgery is the cosmetic surgery choice it gives a weight loss patient. A patient who has been especially overweight and has lost a lot of body fat can benefit wonderfully from this plastic surgery procedure.

To find out if you can gain from the fleur-de-lis technique of abdominoplasty you can get in touch with us at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Getting Gorgeous Abs For The Summer:

These are absolute must-haves for the summer! There’s quite nothing that can set off a summer tan as well as killer ab ridges.

If you have already got rid of the tummy fat through a tummy tuck surgery, then an exercise plan to get those muscles up and working is in the cards so that you can flaunt them the right way.

Getting to know your ab muscles better is the first step to knowing what areas need working out on. You can get a better idea out here.

Of course if you have some extra plastic surgery dough then you can ask your tummy tuck plastic surgeon to sculpt you abs and even pecs that can pass of for the real thing.

How is this possible?

Well, to build up on chest beauty for men, cosmetic surgeons perform a pec implant surgery that is very similar to a breast augmentation using implants for women. The appropriate sized silicone implants are inserted under the pectoralis muscle in the chest of the patient giving the appearance of a power-packed chest.

For getting washboard abs plastic surgeons apply a technique called abdominal etching which uses liposuction surgery methods. Check out the liposuction blog where you’ll get a better idea about this handy procedure.

Nothing beats good old exercise for getting back in shape after a tummy tuck procedure though. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California heartily recommends this!

Amy’s Terrible Tummy – Malnourished Or Simply Stubborn Flab?:

Every time I see her I can’t prevent myself from comparing her to the pleasantly vampish soul singer who came out with Frank in 2003. That was her first album then and the prelude to Back to Black which catapulted her into No. 1 spots and made her super famous.

But sadly, her personal life is moving inversely to her financial and professional success. Her health is on a downwards spiral as well.

I was skimming through some pap snaps of hers that were clicked in the last couple of months and one feature glared at my tummy-sensitive eyes. Her belly looks like a cross between a malnourished abdomen and a beer pot in almost every photo.

Repeated substance abuse can get your stomach to look like that. Tummy tuck surgery specialists at our advanced surgical institute have seen similar cases where women and men especially come for tummy fat reducing and skin tightening procedures.

A tummy tuck procedure coupled with a liposuction surgery can take care of the bloated stomach that is the result of too much alcohol. From the looks of Winehouse’s stomach, it’s your regular beer belly.

While a beer belly looks plain icky on a man, on a women it just looks very messy and ugly. Fat accumulated due to too heavy eating is one thing and fat accumulated due to too much drinking and doping is another.

The Connection Between Buttock Augmentation And Tummy Tuck Surgery:

U.S. News reported the tragic story of three women who had a kidney failure as a result of buttock enhancing injections last week.

From what I read these women seemed to have been thoroughly misinformed about their cosmetic surgery procedure and did not do their research properly. As a result they got treatment from a surgeon who did not have plastic surgery certification and was practicing at an unlicensed facility.

A recipe for disaster in my opinion, but one (thankfully) from which the women are recovering.

One of the best methods to go about a buttock augmentation surgery is via fat grafting or through injectable fillers that use the inherent fat from the patient’s body. Experienced and top plastic surgeons usually use the fat from the patient’s abdominal area if he or she has deposits in sufficient adequacy.

After harvesting fat in this manner, the cosmetic surgeon can reinstate the elasticity of the tummy area that has been recently trimmed off the excess fat. The patient thus has the additional choice of a tummy tuck surgery along with a buttock enhancement surgery.

Your plastic surgeon will discuss your abdominoplasty option during the initial consultation process. Only once he finds the required amount of fat, the procedure can be considered.

Mommies With Hot Tummies - Halle Berry Post-pregnancy:

It’s the season to be jolly…

Oh no, I have not been catapulted into Christmas early on. I have in fact checked out the latest dope on Halle Berry and am simply lovin’ her mommy curves!

Everybody from gossip chicas to cosmetic surgeons and fitness experts have been marveling over the almost overnight transformation Halle had after she gave birth to baby Nahala. There have been rumors of Halle having had a tummy tuck surgery or a liposuction procedure performed on her to get back in shape.

Its not unusual, mums getting a tummy tuck to regain their pre-pregnancy figure, and Halle doesn’t seem like a person who is averse to some cosmetic surgery (she had a rhinoplasty some years back).

However simple that may sound though, an abdominoplasty may not be the reason why Halle seems so trim and fit. A strip of expertly placed spandex or shapewear could also do the trick. Top plastic surgeons at our advanced surgical institute in fact advice new mums adapting such methods to hide post-partum flab till their abdominal muscles are completely healed.

Depending on the patient’s anatomy and physical condition an abdominoplasty procedure is then prescribed to the woman to tighten up her tummy muscles and trim off excess fat. Drop by the Plastic Surgery Institute of California to get to know more about this great procedure.

Gorge Up!
