What’s In?
Muscle Tightening Devices & Fat Removal Devices
To maximize results, we’re continuing to curate patient treatment plans by combining various noninvasive technologies. We use both Coolsculpting and EMSculpt in our practice and often combine the two. Coolsculpting works to freeze and remove fat while EMSculpt tightens and tones the muscles in the abdominals, buttocks, arms and legs.
Body Banking
Body banking is a term used for repurposing the fat removed during liposuction. Rather than discarding the fat, we reprocess the fat and inject it to other areas for added enhancement. This is something that is done to the pecs and deltoids in men. For women, we can use this fat to increase breast volume, and treat depressions in the skin caused by cellulite.
ThermiVa for Vaginal Rejuvenation
ThermiVa has become the gold standard for vaginal rejuvenation treatments. In as little as three treatments, patients notice increase tightness, vaginal lubrication and increased libido.
What’s out?
Textured Implants
We’re seeing a decline in the use of textured implants as patients and surgeons are moving more towards using smooth implants.
Cookie Cutter Procedures
Gone are the days of standard “cookie cutter” procedure plans especially as it applies to the face and nose. Considering each patient is very unique in their anatomy, it’s important for surgeons to approach each case uniquely. The advancements in non invasive procedures allows a surgeon to combine various procedures in conjunction with a surgical procedure to maximize results while maintaining a natural appearance.
Overdone Breast and Buttocks Work
While breast and buttocks procedures are still very popular, it’s important to maintain a natural appearance in line with the patients’ natural anatomy.
