Bikini season is quickly approaching, and many women around Chicagoland are working hard to get their summer bodies back. Usually, getting back into the gym a few days a week will provide tangible results, especially when combined with a sensible diet. At St. Charles Plastic Surgery, we advocate personal health as the first step toward looking and feeling well.
If you’re already putting effort into your diet and exercise, but can’t get all the way to the summer body you want, you might want to consider plastic surgery as another option in your toolkit. When combined with a healthy lifestyle, sometimes a one-time procedure can help reverse weight gain, signs of aging, and fix the problem areas that make you feel self-conscious at the beach.
Liposuction is one popular option, and has minimal recovery time. Liposuction removes the subcutaneous fat stored in various parts of the body. Popular areas that can benefit from a liposuction procedure are the stomach, inner and outer hips, the buttocks, breasts, back, and arms. The ideal liposuction patients have a relatively stable weight, and good skin elasticity.
For those who have managed to achieve dramatic weight loss via diet and exercise, loose skin might be an issue. For some women skin will snap back after weight loss, but typically only to a point when the weight loss has been significant. If you’ve lost a lot of weight and are unsatisfied with the amount of loose skin you have, a tummy tuck procedure can help to remove some of that skin and leave the abdominal region tighter and more toned.
If you’re looking for improvement of the breast region, plastic surgery can offer procedures for augmentation, reduction, breast lift, implant revision, and breast reconstruction. Whatever your needs, Dr. Ghaderi’s extensive experience with breast procedures makes him one of the leading experts in Chicago and gives you the best chance of getting the results you seek.
So far we’ve been focusing on slimming down, but it’s entirely possible there are parts of your body you want to enhance. A fat transfer procedure takes the fat from one part of your body and puts it in another area you want to enhance, such as the buttocks or breasts.
Remember, before undergoing any procedure, you’ll have to be in good physical health. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who will lay out both the risks and the realistic results you can obtain from each procedure.
