How to Maintain Results of a Tummy Tuck

A Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck can be a very effective procedure for individuals who are looking to shed a few pounds and tone problem areas of the body.  Abdominoplasty allows for a complete reinvention of the stomach area as the abdominal muscles are tightened, excess skin is removed, and liposuction is used to eradicate fat deposits.

Dr. Tzvi Small has helped countless individuals (both men and women) achieve the stomach results that they have always wanted.  However, there are steps that are required for the beautiful results to be maintained.  Through this blog, Dr. Small will discuss some of the ways that a tummy tuck can be maintained, so that a patient can keep the abdominal area and body looking amazing.

Maintaining the Results of an Abdominoplasty

While a tummy tuck can help you to achieve the body features and toning that you have desired, there are necessary steps that you need to take to ensure that this figure is maintained. A tummy tuck does not result in a free-pass to weight gain, so it is important to follow key instructions from Dr. Small to keep your new figure at its best.  Some ways to maintain the results of your tummy tuck include:

  • When Dr. Tzvi Small indicates that it is safe post-abdominoplasty to exercise, take this recommendation seriously.  Exercise not only is essential to maintaining your tummy tuck shape, but it is healthy for your heart, lungs, and body.  Cardio exercises (running, swimming, kick boxing, etc.) can be great ways to get your heart rate up and keep weight off.  Exercise can also help you to heal more quickly and tone the surrounding muscles of your abdominals.
  • A healthy diet can make a tremendous difference in maintaining tummy tuck results.  Look for foods that are jam packed with fruits and vegetables, and avoid others that full of preservatives.  Portion control is also important to limit weight gain and to monitor how much you are eating on a regular basis.
  • Talk with Dr. Small about your goals.  Dr. Small can offer a wide variety of advice and tips to help you maintain your best results.  Diet, exercise regimes, and more can all be discussed and tailored for you.

Recovering from Breast Reconstruction

 

Recovering from Breast Reconstruction Surgery

Breast reconstruction surgery can make a dramatic difference in the lives of women who have experienced mastectomies after breast cancer.  The procedure can help lessen the emotion and physical toll of a mastectomy, and help restore self-confidence.

Breast cancer surgery and breast reconstruction can be performed in a seamless transtion, one right after the other, totaling between 4 to 7 hours of surgical time.  Through this blog, Dr. Tzvi Small reviews the recovery from breast reconstruction surgery, and what you can expect during the process.

How Do I Recover from Breast Reconstruction Surgery?

One of the most common questions that we receive about breast reconstruction surgery are regarding the amount of recovery time and what to expect post-surgery.  During a consultation with Dr. Tzvi Small, your individual procedure will be discussed with you entirely, so that you have a clear understanding of what to expect from the surgery and personal recovery.

Some women remain in the hospital for 1 to 2 days post-surgery.  For others, who have experienced the FLAP procedures, 5 to 6 days hospital stay can be expected.  The surgery does not interfere with chemotherapy or radiation.

Following surgery, a patient may experience a normal level discomfort.  While in the hospital, this pain level will be monitored, and pain medication will be administered.  Soreness, bruising, and swelling are normal for two to three weeks post-surgery.  There may be numbness and tightness along the area where tissue was removed, but this will diminish over time.

“How long will it take for me to get back to my normal activities?” is a question that Dr. Small encounters regularly.  For most women, regular activity can resume after 6 weeks post-surgery.  Dr. Small will discuss strenuous activities with you, and monitor when it is safe to return to all activities.

Following breast reconstruction, regular checkups and mammograms are essential.  Your physicians and Dr. Small will check to see your progress, and discuss any issue that may have arisen.

All about Liposuction

Considering Liposuction

You work out every morning.  You love the rush of adrenaline that you feel from cardio and lifting weights.  You enjoy living a healthy lifestyle. But what you don’t enjoy is noticing that some stubborn areas of fat will not go away no matter how hard you try to live right.

“I really wish that this area would look more toned,” you always mumble to yourself as you look in the mirror.  “Then I could finally be satisfied with the look of my body!”

Dr. Tzvi Small can help you to knock out those stubborn fat deposits with liposuction.  Liposuction can remove fat to deliver you a firmer and more pleasing physique.  If you have been searching for a way to create your ideal body figure, look no further than this blog.  This blog will deliver you with all the information you need about the liposuction procedure, so keep reading to learn more!

All about Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most popular forms of cosmetic surgery because of its ability to target multiple areas of the body safely and effectively.

During liposuction, pockets of fat are suctioned out of the body.  A small vacuum tube is used to remove the fat deposits.  These fat deposits are removed from the areas where a patient wishes for firmer, and more defined contours.  Liposuction is typically used on the following areas of the body:

  • Thighs
  • Abdominal area
  • Hips
  • Chin
  • Neck
  • Love handles
  • Arms
  • Jowls
  • Buttocks

Men frequently choose to focus on their “love handles” and abdominal areas. Many women elect to have an abdominoplasty and a breast reduction at the same time as the liposuction procedure.  This ensures that a patient can receive all of the benefits of body contouring, and can achieve the shape that he or she has always wanted.

During a consultation, Dr. Small will explain what you can personally expect for your body’s shape from liposuction.  Dr. Small will also discuss how you can maintain your body shape post-liposuction procedure so that you can retain the results for years to come.  Dr. Small is passionate about delivering you the best in cosmetic surgery and the tools to maintain beautiful results for years to come.  To learn more about liposuction, contact the Small plastic surgery team today.

Feel Comfortable with Your Body

Some women can feel extreme discomfort from their large breasts.  They can feel self-conscious, and feel pain that radiates to their shoulders and back.  Some women can even experience difficulties breathing because of the weight of the breasts.

Dr. Tzvi Small is here to help.  With breast reduction surgery, you can finally feel relief.  Through this blog, you will learn about breast reduction surgery, and find out how it can help you feel confident with your body shape and comfortable in your own skin.  Keep reading Dr. Small’s blog to find out more!

Breast Reduction Surgery

A breast reduction procedure removes skin and tissue from breasts to both reshape the breasts and reduce their size.  Breast reduction surgery can change breast weight, size, firmness, and shape.

There are many reasons to consider breast reduction surgery.  Some of the reasons that women decide to move forward with the procedure include:

  • To Feel More Comfortable- large breasts can lead to back pain, neck pain, skin irritation, and issues with posture.  Reducing the breast size can alleviate this pain.
  • To Reduce the Constant Pull-heavy breasts can make bra straps leave heavy indentations in the shoulders and skin causing extreme discomfort.
  • To Participate in Sports- large breasts can yield limitations for certain sports activities.  Sports can become awkward and even painful when a woman has larger breasts.  Breast reduction surgery allows for a woman to fully engage in sports without experiencing the pain and discomfort associated with larger breasts.
  • To Change Appearance- larger breasts can be embarrassing, especially when they are not proportional to a woman’s natural shape.  It can be hard to find clothes that fit properly, and women might feel uncomfortable with their own bodies.

Dr. Tzvi Small can help women address all of these issues with breast reduction surgery.  This is typically an outpatient procedure with a relatively quick recovery.  After the procedure, the breasts will be rounder, firmer, and have more aesthetic appeal.

You deserve to feel comfortable with your body’s features.  Let our team of cosmetic surgery experts show you how it is possible to feel confident, happy, and out of pain for good!  Contact our Bergen County office to learn more about breast reductions.
