Body Contouring Procedures

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) flattens the abdomen by removing excess fat and skin and tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall. The best candidates for an abdominoplasty are women or men who are in relatively good shape but are bothered by a large fat deposit or loose abdominal skin that won’t respond to diet or exercise.

The surgery is particularly helpful to women who through pregnancy have stretched their abdominal muscles and skin beyond the point where they can return to normal. It is also beneficial to those who have lost weight and have loose overhanging abdominal wall skin that has lost its elasticity. Results can be dramatic. Clothes fit better and you feel better about your appearance.

Liposuction (or suction-assisted lipectomy) has become one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures performed by plastic surgeons today. Proven safety, minimal scarring and outstanding results have made it the preferred method for removing fat from the hips, thighs, buttocks and midriff as well as areas of the face, neck, arms and back. Liposuction is not an alternative to weight reduction but can be very effective in removing fat from areas that do not respond to diet and exercise programs.

Suction-assisted lipectomy can be performed in our office out-patient surgical suite under local or general anesthesia. A narrow tube (cannula) is inserted into a small incision made in an inconspicuous place. Dr. Hardaway then manipulates the cannula, which is connected to a strong vacuum, breaking up fatty areas and suctioning out the fat.

Many refinements in liposuction such as the tumescent technique and ultrasonic liposuction have helped to enhance the final result.
