TotalBodyMakeover
Patients who undergo Total Body Makeovers generally have loose and overhanging skin, as well as undesirable lumps and bumps. This can be caused by genetic traits, excessive amounts of weight gain or loss . Excessive weight loss can occur from; weight loss programs, dieting, and surgical procedures like: LAP-BAND and Gastric Bypass. Dr. Thomas’ Total Body Makeover can address issues with: Abs, thighs, hips, buttox, arms, legs, knees, backs, flanks, and breasts.
High Lateral Tension Tummy Tuck
Is a unique procedure, which removes extra skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the over stretched muscles. How the High Lateral Tension Tummy Tuck differs from a traditional Tummy Tucks in that Dr. Thomas stitches abdominal muscles in a criss-cross fashion, instead of in a vertical fashion. In most cases loose and hanging stomach muscles and skin cannot be reversed by weight loss or exercise. This advanced technique creates a tighter more defined waistline, giving Patients the appearance of wearing an internal girdle. Loose skin is excised and every Patient receives a tighter flatter stomach, defined waistline and new umbilicus.
Most dramatic effects in the waistline are seen in Patients who in addition to Tummy Tuck, undergo Liposculpture of the abdomen, flanks, hip rolls, and lower back. Liposculpture is a slightly different operation than traditional Liposuction. With Liposcultpure Dr. Thomas not only removes stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to traditional weight loss methods but he also sculpts the areas to give Patients an athletic appearance. The areas to be suctioned area accurately marked and infiltrated with the tumescent solution, which contains local anesthetics and vasoconstrictors. These medications significantly reduce blood loss and bruising while providing post-operative pain relief. Liposculpture can create the appearance of an athletically toned and trimmed body.
Better known as Arm Tuck or Arm Lift is an operation designed to remove excessive arm skin. Weight gain followed by weight loss is an important factor in a significant number of Patients. After weight loss, arm fat shrinks while the overstretched skin remains unchanged. Dr. Thomas performs flawless arm lifts with beautifully tight results.
