Los Angeles – August, 2016 – If you have been exercising and following diets to achieve the desired body shape without any results, it is possible to remove the fat and the excess skin using state of the art body contouring procedures. One of the leading plastic surgeon in Los Angeles, Dr. K Charles Kim, provides patients the chance to look fit and in shape again with 2 cutting edge plastic surgeries – Liposuction and Tummy Tuck.LIPOSUCTION
Liposuction is ideal for those who are generally in good health and are want to be thinner. Liposuction performed by Dr. Kim in Los Angeles helps patients lose unwanted fat in targeted areas of the body that are not amenable to thinning. Due to liposuction’s unique ability to shape the body, patients often look like they have lost much more weight than they actually have.
Reshaping the body with liposuction has shown great results because fat cells can be removed from specific areas. General or local anesthetic is used depending on the amount of fatty tissue. A fluid that reduces blood loss and pain is injected. This is followed by a small incision in the targeted area and a thin tube is inserted between the skin and muscles to suck out the fat deposits.
Though age is not a factor, older patients whose skin is not as elastic may not get the same results as younger patients.
TUMMY TUCK
People who are obese, have drooping abdomen from loss of elasticity or relaxation of muscle tissue, have lost elasticity recovery from intense weight control and desire to refine skin after liposuction can benefit from a tummy tuck procedure performed at Dr. Kim at CK Plastic Surgery Clinic, Los Angeles.
Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is often performed to reduce stretch marks and get rid of hanging skin resulting from child birth. Surgery is performed with an incision right under the abdomen or the ‘bikini line.’ Fat and excess skin is removed via liposuction and then muscle tissue is tightened by pulling. The scar may remain after the procedure, but it is the most effective option for body contour. The scar is not exposed when wearing underwear or swimsuit.
The incision is made near the navel. The loose abdominal wall is collected toward the center and tightened. Excess skin is pulled down and the hip and stomach line are improved.
Patients can go for a mini tummy tuck in which the incision line is shorter, which allows the belly button to stay where it is. The scar is similar to that of a C-section.
