Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a procedure which removes excess skin and fat from the lower and middle abdomen to tighten the muscles in the abdominal wall. People who experience a protruding abdomen, weakened stomach muscles, sagging skin, or excess fatty tissues in the abdomen may be candidates for the tummy tuck procedure. A tummy tuck provides maximum improvement in abdominal contour but does leave an abdominal scar which is visible, although generally planned so as to be covered by underwear or swimwear.
Liposuction
Liposuction is one of the more commonly performed cosmetic surgeries. It is an excellent procedure for body contouring when proper patient selection factors are observed. Liposuction is not a substitute for diet and exercise, but it is appropriate for removing localized fat deposits in patients who have adequate skin elasticity. The most common areas for liposuction include the abdomen, hips, saddlebags, upper inner thighs, and the so-called “love-handles.” Other areas of the body are also contoured in properly selected patients.
Post-Bariatric Body Contouring
Body contouring (arm lift, buttock lift, thigh lift) following massive weight loss can be a key component in restoring a person's self-esteem. With obesity continuing to grow and posing severe health risks, bariatric (weight loss) surgery has become a more common option for overweight people. Whether weight loss is achieved through surgery or lifestyle changes, patients will often experience sagging, excess skin and other related complications. Dr. Dubin works with many obese patients following weight loss and tailors his recommendations based on each individual case.
