The Brazilian Buttock Lift Enhancement in Sacramento California for Fuller Rounder Buttocks

rosemont — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 18:24:12 +0000

Full, round buttocks are often viewed as sign of beauty and vitality. Magazine covers and TV programs often emphasize the fuller buttocks. While Cosmetic Plastic Surgeons have been able to augment the breast they haven’t until recently been able to change the shape of the buttocks. The silicone implants didn’t give enough volume and often became hard or migrated out of place.

One of the great advances in plastic surgery over the past 20 years has been the advent of fat transfer. Following liposuction to collect the excess or unwanted fat cells they are then transferred from one area of the body to another. Structural fat transfer has become much more common and more reliable. With liposuction and fat transfer we can make the waist smaller and the buttocks rounder. This procedure often referred to as a Brazilian Buttock Lift. We like to refer to this as a buttock augmentation through structural fat transfer. The procedure is tailored to the individual characteristics and optimized for the individual’s goals. Recently we had one such person whom desired a rounder full buttocks. She had thought about this for years and finally decided to something about it. A transfer of 400 cc of fat from the abdomen to the buttocks was performed! These are her before and after photos. We are so excited for her. Her pant size has gone up by 2 sizes!

She was also interested enhancement of her breasts that while beautiful naturally appeared a bit deflated to her. She elected to have a breast augmentation with a small implant placed to enhance her cleavage as well as a tummy tuck and some liposuction along her waist. Her recovery was uneventful and she is excited to get new clothes as she has lost a few sizes. She looks great and feels fantastic. Her waist was really framed nicely by her hips and breasts and her breast incision is well hidden and the abdominal incision can easily be hidden with the right bikini.

One of the most exciting develops in the past few years in plastic surgery has been the realization that we can tighten skin without surgery. Using infrared light, laser or radiofrequency plastic surgeons in Roseville, Folsom, Stockton, Modesto have been tightening peoples skin through heat. By heating the collagen deep to the skin we are able to tighten and contract loose areas of skin.

In Sacramento California Dr Charles Perry is using the SkinTyte device from Sciton to enhance the figure. As a complement to liposuction and abdominoplasty for the abdomen Skintyte has enhanced the contour and texture of the abdominal skin. It works well in conjunction with brachioplasty and arm lifts as well as a compliment to a facelift and brow lift or lower eyelid lift.

An example is pictured below of a women who wasn’t quite ready for an abdominoplasty but wanted a little tightening of her abdominal skin following bearing a couple of children. Notice how much tighter the loose skin as become in only three sessions!

Before liposuction and working out

One of the exciting new trends for men this year has been Liposuction. Now more than ever we are seeing men doing something effective and immediate to enhance their look and physic. Liposuction is one of the most common procedures performed for males. From the neck to the abdomen and chest and flanks liposuction is often the little nudge that is required to get over the hump many men experience while trying to contour their bodies through weight loss by going to the gym or running. The most common saying we hear following a body contouring procedure is, “ I wish I would have done this sooner”, followed closely by “ can we do one more area”. One such example is this gentleman pictured here that worked out and modified his diet yet nothing ever seemed to happen.

Liposuction, diet and exercise has transformed his shape

Now he is feeling better, looking better and finds it easier to work out and eat right!
At Chrysalis Cosmetics we offer many different options for body contouring through liposuction, tumescent liposuction, Vaser liposuction and Laser Liposuction. While liposuction is not for everyone, healthy individuals with body mass indexes below 30 Kg/M2 usually tolerate the fat reduction well. While some patients do experience pain, bruising and swelling, these symptoms usually resolve over the course of 2 – 6 weeks and the contour enhancement usually looks its best in 3-6 months. Of course all surgeries have risks including but not limited to infection, irregular contours, loose skin, numbness, hospitalizations, bleeding and additional surgeries, most people are very happy with their new look and would do it again.
When looking for a surgeon to perform your contouring procedure be sure they are board certified in plastic surgery. Perhaps it is also important that they specialize in cosmetic procedures such as liposuction so that their staff will be able to help you and make you feel comfortable and safe. We look forward to helping you make some changes this year. For more information visit our website sacramentoplastics.com

rosemont — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:26:34 +0000

One of the most common procedures for males in the Roseville, Folsom, Stockton, Elk Grove areas is liposuction. Using tumescent anesthesia and VASER (Vibrational Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) Dr Charles Perry, Medical Director of Chrysalis Cosmetics, has been able to perform liposuction without anesthesia in the office. Some male patients are experiencing minimal to no downtime. For example the patient pictured here was bothered by the extra fat around the belly button. Despite exercising, dieting, and running the area seemed to stay the same. After a consultation and reviewing the health history and risks of the procedure the male patient decided to proceed with liposuction to contour this one resistant area. Once the tumescent liposuction fluid was inserted the Vaser was used to emulsify and the fat selectively and then heat the skin to help with contraction of skin as well. Using small cannulas hidden through the belly button – 250 cc of pure fat was removed. The patient then wore a compression garment for a week.

With all the new technology available liposuction removal of the difficult areas of fat excess has never been easier or more comfortable. Using Tumescence supplemented with Vaser and or Laser Liposuction has increased the comfort and decreased the recovery time as most people with sedentary careers (ie desk work) are now going to work the next day. The procedure can be done with you fully or awake, however many people enjoy a little relaxation – its up to you. While many people choose to have liposuction in the summer – we are finding that the winter months are often better as it allows your body time to recover and look its very best by swim suit season.

When thinking about having liposuction or body contouring performed be sure and choose a plastic surgeon that is board certified in plastic surgery. It is also a good idea to share your goals of body contouring as in some cases another procedure such as a tummy tuck, thigh lift, arm lift of necklift may be more efficacious in achieving your goals.

The best time of year to do this does seem to be in the winter as in the summer you will be wanting to show off those new curves. At Chrysalis Cosmetics we are finding that the Vaser liposuction (Vibrational Amplification of Sound at Resonance) allows for the fat cells to be gently removed from their attachment to your body. It also allows for more even extraction of the fat cells and a gentler recovery. The laser is then used to heat the remaining collagen fibers and shrink the collagen while coagulating any vessels to reduce the bruising and swelling. The combination of Tumescent, Vaser and ProLaser liposuction allows for gentle removal of fat cells and shrinkage of the remaining tissues to their optimum abilities. At Chrysalis Cosmetics we use any of the above to enhance your appearance to the optimum and reduce your down time as much as possible.

Breast Reduction in Sacramento California; Liposuction or Breast Reduction Which is Right For You

rosemont — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 20:01:10 +0000

Breast reduction has traditionally been performed for women with large breast that cause back ache, head aches, migraines, rashes and unwanted attention. Traditionally Plastic Surgeons throughout California have been performing breast reductions through large anchor type incisions. This has allowed plastic surgeons to reduce the breast volume as well as lift the breast. Over 80% of women whom have had the operation are satisfied and would do it again. While a truly wonderful operation at times the incisions can be excessive and require a long healing period. In some large breast reduction studies 30% of women are noted to have delayed wound healing often necessitating prolonged dressing changes and wound care.

Across the country more and more physicians are performing scarless breast reductions using liposuction and even vaser liposelection. Dr Charles Perry, a plastic surgeon in Sacramento California has been performing breast reductions using suction assisted lipectomy since 2002. Chrysalis Cosmetics serves the Roseville, Folsom, Davis, El Dorado Hills and Stockton area plastic surgery needs. With a dedicated staff that is focused on your needs and experience.

For the majority of women the breast is made up of fat and glandular tissue. As women age more of the breast becomes fatty and less glandular. This fatty tissue lends itself to being reduced through liposuction which only requires tiny little incisions along the breast fold (perhaps the nipple or axilla or arm pit) that allow the liposuction cannualas to remove the unnessecary fat. Once the fat is removed the skin of the breast redrapes over the smaller breast. This often lifts the breast (in some series up to 6 cm) and decreases the weight the shoulder have to support through bra straps. For many women in the Roseville, Folsom, Elk Grove area the reduced weight of the breast allows them to live with less back ache, head aches, skin rashes and shoulder pain.

Breast reduction performed with vaser liposelection is ideal for fattier breasts without ptosis and elastic skin. It is ideal for women with larger softer breasts as they often have more fat than glandular tissue. It can be truly amazing to witness the lift the breast obtains after the weight is removed.

If you are considering breast reduction and are interested in a breast reduction without the large anchor type incision visit Dr Perry. He or one of his cosmetic staff members are excited to help you decide if a breast reduction is right for you. For additional information visit www.drcharlesperry.com.
