Body Lift

Significant weight can leave patients with stubborn fat deposits and sagging, unattractive skin. This may be the result of a serious diet and exercise routine or procedures such as bariatric surgery. The end result is an unappealing, misshapen appearance that leave you feeling awkward and uncomfortable. When that happens a body lift may be the answer.

At Star Plastic Surgery, we strongly believe you deserve to feel confident and secure in your appearance. With body lift surgery, our Novi, Michigan plastic surgeons can contour and firm your body to provide you with the look you need to feel your best.

Surgical Options

Our board-certified plastic surgeons offer our patients three options for body lifts:

• A lower body lift removes fat and skin from your thighs, hips, buttocks, and waist.
• Mid-body lifts adds a tummy tuck to a lower body lift, removing excess skin from the abdominal area.
• A full body lift adds body contouring procedures to your entire body, including lower body, mid-body, and arm lifts and a breast lift that dramatically changes the appearance of  the entire body.

Viewing each patient as an individual with unique needs, our experienced plastic surgeons will work closely with you to target problem areas on your body. Combining only those procedures necessary to give you the look you desire, we can customize a body lift option for you that will produce an appealing, toned physique for years to come.

Body Contouring

Surgical body contouring following major weight loss removes excess fat and skin while improving the shape of the body. The result is a more normal appearance with smoother contours. Body contouring procedures may include:

• Facelift: Helps with sagging of the mid-face, jowls, and neck
• Liposuction: Removes excess fat, including the chin and neck, hips, abdomen, inner and outer thighs, knees and ankles and buttocks.
  • Improves body contour and proportion
  • Trims fat that won’t go away with weight loss or exercise
• Arm Lift: Removes excess skin from the underarm and reshapes the under portion of the upper arm – from the armpit area to the elbow.
  • Improves sagging upper arms resulting from weight loss, aging or heredity
  • Addresses excess skin, weakened tissues and localized fat deposits
• Breast lift: Helps with sagging, flattened breasts
• Tummy tuck: Removes excess abdominal fat and skin; typically, also reestablishes weakened or separated muscles.
  • Creates a smoother, firmer abdominal profile
• Lower body lifts: Removes excess sagging fat and skin to treat conditions caused, in part, by poor tissue elasticity.
  • Treats excess skin, cellulite and sagging fatty tissue
  • Can treat the buttocks, abdomen, waist, hips and thighs in one procedure
• Medial thigh lift: Reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin, and in some cases fat.
  • Offers smoother leg contours
  • Different types of thigh lifts target certain areas

Why Consider Body Contouring?

Dramatic weight loss has many benefits. After weight reduction surgery, or dramatic weight loss, skin and tissue often lacks elasticity to conform to the new body size. Body contouring may assist in patients having the desired body shape and size. Doing so builds self-confidence, allows clothes to fit more comfortably, and improves self-esteem.

Breast Implant Placement Options

Your breast implant placement will directly affect the final aesthetic results of your breast augmentation procedure. The board-certified breast surgeons at Star Plastic Surgery have found that submuscular placement is ideal for most of our patients. We understand that there is not a single solution for every body type, however, and will work closely with you to help you find the breast implant placement option that is most ideal for your needs.

Subglandular Breast Implant Placement

Subglandular placement means that the breast implants are placed just below your breast tissue, above the muscles in your chest. The primary advantage of this placement option is a shorter surgery. The disadvantages of subglandular placement include:

• Less aesthetically pleasing
• A more obviously enhanced appearance
• Not suitable for women with small breasts or low amounts of breast tissue
• May impede flow of breast milk
• May interfere with mammograms

Submuscular Breast Implant Placement

Submuscular breast implants are placed below the muscles in your chest. Some surgeons choose to place implants under one or two layers of muscle, but at Star Plastic Surgery, we have found placing the breast implant under three layers provides the best results. Deeper placement greatly reduces complications like capsular contracture, mammogram interference, and will not interfere with breastfeeding.

Additionally, this placement hides the breast implant under the muscles in your chest, reducing any evidence of breast augmentation, and providing you with a natural, aesthetically superior result.

The primary drawback to submuscular implant placement is a more involved surgical procedure. However, we have found that the benefits of this placement option far outweigh the slight inconvenience of additional surgical time.

At Star Plastic Surgery, we offer the Star Plastic Surgery Advantage. All of our breast augmentation surgeons are board-certified, use only proven surgical techniques, and are entirely devoted to the satisfaction of our patients. Our breast augmentation procedures are performed in accredited hospitals with highly trained staff, and our doctors are involved in your procedure from your initial consultation to your full recovery.

If you are considering breast augmentation contact us to schedule a free consultation to discuss the right breast implant placement for you with our experienced plastic surgeons.

Chin Surgery

Chin surgery, also known as mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to reshape the chin either by enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone.

Often, plastic surgeons may recommend chin surgery to a patient having rhinoplasty (nose job), in order to achieve the facial proportion the patient desires. The size of the chin may be magnified or minimized based on the perceived size of the nose.

Why consider Chin Surgery?

Chin surgery helps provide patients with a harmonious balance to their facial features so that they feel better about the way they look.

At Star Plastic Surgery, we like to meet with each patient individually to evaluate and determine the best corrective procedure or type of chin surgery. Contact us today to learn more about chin surgery and to schedule a consultation to see if it is the right procedure for your needs.

Vaser Liposuction

Vaser liposuction is a form of ultrasound-assisted liposuction that uses sound waves to emulsify fatty tissue prior to its removal from the body. Utilizing ultrasound technology, our Detroit area plastic surgeons are able to specifically target fat deposits without causing any damage to surrounding tissue structure. Providing smooth, predictable results, Vaser liposuction will certainly help restore your confidence and self-assurance.

As part of the Star Plastic Surgery Advantage, the addition of Vaser liposuction helps ensure your ultimate safety and produces stunning results. The precision and effectiveness of Vaser liposuction makes it an ideal choice for many of our patients.

Vaser Liposuction Advantages

Vaser liposuction enjoys several benefits over older methods of fat removal. Some of these advantages include:

• Small incisions
• Minimal blood loss
• No damage to surrounding tissue
• Greatly reduced skin damage
• Improved skin retraction
• No need for general anesthesia
• Increased recovery time

Vaser liposuction is ideal for backs, flanks, and other areas of the body where tight, fibrous tissue could result in complications.

Vaser liposuction is able to drastically reshape your body with very little downtime. This advancement in liposuction allows our surgeons to remove even the most stubborn fat deposits and finely sculpt any area of your body.

No two methods are ideally suited for each patient. When you schedule your free consultation, one of our board-certified plastic surgeons will carefully assess your problem areas before determining which liposuction procedure is best for you.
