Body Contouring – Body Lift, Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck), Liposuction – Westport, Connecticut
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Anyone who is looking for a flatter, tighter stomach may want to consider an abdominoplasty procedure. An abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is a common body contouring procedure performed by Dr. Ellen Mahony at her practice in Westport, Connecticut. An abdominoplasty is designed to remove excess skin from the waist and abdomen, and tighten abdominal muscles that have been stretched and weakened over time. While an abdominoplasty procedure alone will not remove a sizeable amount of fat from the abdomen, when combined with liposuction, the procedure can remove a significant amount of fat and skin for most patients. At her Westport, Connecticut practice, Dr. Mahony performs abdominoplasty surgery in order to remove and reshape loose skin, so the ideal candidate is usually someone who has lost an excessive amount of weight, or women whose abdominal muscles and skin have been stretched and weakened by pregnancy or age. Men who are self-conscious about their “spare tire” are also excellent candidates for a tummy tuck with Dr. Mahony at her Westport practice.
Contact Dr. Mahony’s plastic surgery practice in Westport , Connecticut to schedule an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) consultation.
Mini Tummy Tuck
Some patients with less excess skin and muscle weakening in their abdomen will not require a full abdominoplasty, and may be better suited for a “mini” tummy tuck. At her Westport, Connecticut practice, Dr. Mahony can perform a less invasive version of the abdominoplasty with minimal scarring and significantly less skin removal. A mini tummy tuck is an excellent choice for patients who want to define their waistline and tighten their lower abdomen. The mini tummy tuck procedure is less invasive than a full abdominoplasty, has less recovery time, and is ideal for patients with minimal skin overhang in the lower abdomen. A full tummy tuck, performed at a Westport surgical center, remains the best choice for patients with muscle weakening across the upper and lower abdomen, and a large amount of excess skin.
If you live in the New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut area, and you would like to schedule an abdominoplasty / mini tummy tuck consultation, contact the Westport plastic surgery practice of Dr. Ellen Mahony.
Liposuction
For both men and women, there are certain localized areas of fat on the body that are extremely resistant to diet and exercise. These fat deposits are commonly found on the hips, abdomen, thighs, love handles, ankles, face, and neck. With liposuction, Westport cosmetic surgeon Dr. Ellen Mahony is able to selectively remove fat from these stubborn areas, and smooth and sculpt the body.
During every liposuction consultation at her Westport, Connecticut practice, Dr. Mahony works with her patients to define the contour and shape they are looking to achieve. The best candidate for liposuction with Dr. Mahony is a healthy patient who is at or near their ideal body weight. Liposuction is not a healthy weight loss solution, and is intended for body sculpting rather than excessive fat removal. However, after a liposuction procedure, Westport and Connecticut patients can look forward to a slim and contoured figure that feels better and looks great in clothes.
Liposuction, performed at the Westport, Connecticut practice of Dr. Mahony, is often used in conjunction with additional cosmetic procedures, including breast augmentation, body lift, facelift, full abdominoplasty , and mini tummy tuck. At her Westport practice, Dr. Mahony features several liposuction procedures and techniques that she will be happy to discuss and explain during an initial consultation. If you are interested in liposuction, contact Westport, Connecticut cosmetic surgeon Dr. Ellen Mahony for further information.
Body Lift
For patients who have lost a significant amount of weight through exercise, diet, or gastric bypass surgery, their new body may be burdened with excess skin and unattractive, droopy skin folds across the upper and lower body. Dr. Mahony can “lift” and remove these unattractive skin folds in virtually every area of the body that is affected. With an upper arm lift, Dr. Mahony can remove excess skin that flaps beneath the arm, giving the upper arms a tighter, more toned appearance. If the skin in the upper arms has retained its elasticity, Dr. Mahony can even remove fat from the arm with a liposuction procedure performed at a Westport, Connecticut surgical center. For excess lower body skin around the waist and thighs, Dr. Mahony offers lower body lifts that combine liposuction and skin removal around the buttocks, thighs, and hips with a tummy tuck procedure. At her Westport practice, Dr. Mahony’s ultimate goal is to help her patients feel comfortable and secure in their new bodies.
