A tummy tuck works to sculpt your waistline, tighten your muscles, and flatten your abdomen. If that wasn’t enough, it can also help your clothes fit better and improve issues like urinary incontinence and low back pain. The tradeoff is that you’ll be left with a scar — but there are plenty of ways to make it look better. 1. FOLLOW THE PRE- AND POST-OP INSTRUCTIONS Minimizing a tummy tuck scar starts with good preparation. Make sure to follow our pre-operative instructions to the letter. That includes staying away from nicotine, a chemical that can greatly impair your ability to heal, for several weeks. Aftercare is just as important when it comes to getting the results you want. The key isRead Full Post

Is It Easier To Lose Weight After Liposuction Surgery?

September 29, 2020

Liposuction removes stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise. In many cases, these problem spots are the result of genetics, age, and other factors outside of your control.

You may need to lose weight to be a good liposuction candidate. Reaching a lower weight will help you achieve better results and provide a higher level of safety.

What Can I Expect After My Liposuction Surgery?

September 23, 2020

Liposuction may be the ideal way to achieve your goals for your figure. It removes troublesome excess fat and refines your natural contours.

While everyone’s situation is different, most people can return to work a few days after getting liposuction and resume most other activities within two weeks. In general, traditional liposuction requires the most downtime, while laser liposuction and ultrasonic-assisted liposuction require the least. This is because of the way that the fatty deposits are broken up. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Stephen Miller’s advanced techniques help provide an easy recoveryRead Full Post
