Body Procedures

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Abdominoplasty is an operation that is used to create a flat upper and lower abdomen, establish a narrower waist line, correct a rectus diastasis and remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal wall.

This operation is ideal for patients with:

• Excess skin and fat above and below the belly button (umbilicus)
• Changes related to pregnancy and the post-partum period
• Substantial weight changes through life, including after substantial weight loss

Thigh Lift

This operation is ideal for patients with:

• Excess skin and fat of the upper inner thigh spanning from the groin to the knee
• Substantial weight changes through life, including after substantial weight loss or pregnancy

Inner thigh lift is an operation that addresses the excess skin and fat of the inner thighs. This operation typically involves liposuction and surgery. The severity of the condition typically ranges from isolated to the groin area, or involving the entire upper inner thigh from groin to knee. Patients will decide with Dr. Platt the length and location of the scar based on their goals. Surgical drains are typically used during this operation. Most patients will have same-day surgery, meaning they will be discharged home the same day as the operation. Dr. Platt will discuss the recovery process and establish a follow-up schedule with you.

Mommy Makeover

This combined set of tailored operations is ideal for:

• Women who have experienced changes to their breasts after pregnancy and / or breastfeeding
• Women who have experienced changes to their abdomen and flanks
• Other changes include deflated buttocks, excess skin and fat to the upper thighs

A “mommy makeover” is designed to address the changes that occur to the female body (and in particular the breasts and abdomen) during pregnancy and the post-pregnancy period. Each “mommy makeover” is designed to address each patient’s specific concerns and usually involves a breast procedure (either breast augmentation, breast lift or a combination) and a tummy tuck, with or without liposuction. Most patients that have combined operations will be required to have an overnight stay in the hospital. Dr. Platt will discuss the recovery process and establish a follow-up schedule with you.

Non-Surgical Body Contouring (truSculpt iD)

This treatment is ideal for patients with:

• Desire subcutaneous fat reduction and skin tightening but wish to avoid surgery
• Body mass index below 30
• Trouble fatty areas but who do not have sufficient excess skin and fat for surgical excision

Dr. Platt offers truSculpt iD, a non-surgical technique for subcutaneous fat reduction and skin tightening with little to no downtime. Patients lose on average 20-25% of their subcutaneous fat with this type of treatment, but it takes 3 months to see the final result. Some patients will choose to have multiple treatments. A single body area typically takes 15 minutes of preparation and 15 minutes treatment time. Common treatment areas include: submentum (under the chin), arms, legs, abdomen and flanks.
