With spring in the air its time to come out of hibernation and prepare ourselves for the beach. To help you tighten the curves and flatten those bulges, leading North Shore Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon Dr Norman Olbourne offers these surgical remedies.
Tummy tuck
A tummy tuck is the best way to remove unwanted belly fat for good and a natural choice for the woman wanting to show off her shape on the beach this summer. Also known as an abdominoplasty, this procedure removes excess fat and skin, and tightens the six pack muscles to flatten and firm the tummy and permanently improve waist contours.
A full tummy tuck procedure requires a horizontally-oriented incision in the area between the pubic hairline and navel.
Dr Olbourne will discuss with you where to best place the incision so it is concealed by your underwear. The shape and length of the incision will be determined by the degree of correction necessary. Through this incision, weakened abdominal muscles are repaired and sutured while excess fat, tissue and skin
Liposuction
Liposuction has come a long way in recent years and Dr Olbourne now offers two advanced techniques to target localised collections of fat in areas such as the hips, inner and outer thighs and even around the neck, back and upper arms.
Option 1 is SlimLipo, an innovative new laser technology whereby greater amounts of fat can be removed safely with less downtime than previously. SlimLipo uses laser energy to liquefy fat which is then pumped out in the traditional manner. Where it differs from traditional methods is that the laser beam contains a second wavelength of energy which heats the subcutaneous tissues, causing them to
shrink and the overlying skin to retract, to a degree not previously achievable. The result is a smoother more regular surface.
Option 2 is the ultrasonic technique which uses a probe inserted through a tiny incision to liquefy and pump out fat. This method is more comfortable than regular liposuction with considerably less bruising and discomfort.
Breast Enhancement
One of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures by women longing to fill out their bikini tops, breast enlargement surgery involves the placement of implants behind the breasts to fulfill a desire for fuller breasts or to restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy.
Dr Olbourne specialises in the axillary approach to this operation whereby the incision is located high up in the armpit. Any size or shape implant including the revolutionary Brazilian implant can be accommodated this way and the beauty of this technique is the complete absence of any telltale scar on the breast with rates of problems such as hardness and chiselled appearance now as low as 1%.
Benefits include an increase in the fullness and projection of your breasts, an improvement in the balance of your figure, and often more self confidence.
But Dr Olbourne advises that any woman considering a breast enlargement should have realistic expectations about the results and be fully informed before embarking on surgery.
