A Body lift can be performed on patients who have not had dramatic weight loss. Some patients have loose skin even without any weight loss. The Body lift can remove that excess skin and firm up the body profile.
Gynecomastia surgery was performed to give this male patient a flatter chest. This surgery can be performed with liposuction or with breast reduction surgery for males. This is a different technique than the female Breast reduction surgery.
Butt augmentation with the patient’s own fat, on this 170-pound female, with 700 cc fat injected into her left butt cheek and 750 cc fat injected into her right butt cheek.
Dr. Rodriguez performed a Full tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) with Liposuction on this Afro-American patient to repair muscle and give her a flatter stomach. He also removed 1400 cc of fat with Liposuction.
This patient desired smaller breasts to complement her Abdominoplasty procedure. Dr. Rodriguez performed a Full tummy tuck, Breast reduction, and Liposuction in the same operative session, giving her a much more defined figure. She also had liposuction which removed 1900 cc of fat from her flanks and posterior triangle.
This patient had a Tummy tuck to tighten and tone her stomach. Notice how after the surgery her abdomen is now smooth and flat. The excess skin and fat (more than 1500 cc of fat from her flanks and posterior triangle) have been removed.
This patient underwent a full Tummy tuck to tighten her stomach muscles. Notice in the photo there is no visible scarring from the Tummy tuck surgery and that her overall shape is enhanced by the procedure.
This patient was unhappy about the protrusion of her stomach (due to diastasis recti or abdominal separation). Dr. Rodriguez tightened her abdomen muscles (rectus diastasis muscle repair) by performing a Tummy tuck in his Baltimore surgery center.
A Tummy tuck tightened up the patient’s stomach area and helped get rid of the loose skin. Stretch marks between the belly button and pubic hair were eliminated. Fat tissue in the lower abdomen was removed.
This patient wanted a flat stomach but was concerned about tummy tuck scarring. In addition to the Tummy tuck, she had over 4000 cc of fat extracted with Liposuction to her flanks, thighs, and posterior triangle.
