Tummy Tuck Surgery Procedure Consultation Las Vegas

Tummy Tuck Cosmetic Surgery Consultation Transcript

Dr. Stile: Hello, I’m Dr. Stile. Welcome back to our excellence in cosmetic surgery series. This is video blog number 5, and today’s topic is abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck. I’m lucky enough to have one of the busiest cosmetic surgery practices in Las Vegas. I have performed over 1,000 abdominoplasties over the last nine years. This volume of patients has made me one of the most experience surgeons for this particular procedure. What we’re going to do today is go through a regular consultation for abdominoplasty with one of my patients. What we hope you’ll understand by the end of this consultation is what abdominoplasty or tummy tuck actually is; what the components are; and if you’re potentially a candidate who can benefit from this cosmetic surgery procedure. Let’s go now and take a look at the consultation.

Farrah: My name is Farrah from Sacramento, California. I moved to Vegas for entertainment. This is an awesome city if you just want to entertain and make a living. Well, I’m hoping that not only will it change my outer look, but I don’t want to be self-conscious and it’s going to help me be more marketable. I know that if I go to an audition and the costume looks fabulous on me – I can get it. But, if the costume is a lot of belly and a lot of mid, and I don’t have that looking tight next to the girl that’s all “six-packed up” with tight skin, then she’s going to get it over me.

 Dr. Stile: I’ve done over a thousand tummy tucks in the last 9 years and my patients benefit from this experience in multiple ways. Most important is shorter surgery time which means less anesthesia and the greater likelihood that they’ll get a result that will make them happy. My patients range in size from 115 pounds to 215 pounds. The operation is basically the same with respect to steps, however, the scale of the procedure is different accordingly. The first thing that’s important for my patients to understand is a little bit about anatomy, and the changes that happen with either pregnancy, massive weight gain, or a combination of the two. What we have here is an illustration of basic anatomy.

These are the rectus muscles which are in compartments on either side of the belly button. They begin at the underside of the ribs and insert down in the groin. They are touching in the mid-line. These muscles have various functions with respect to the torso. They provide stability for the back, allow the torso to twist, pick up your knees and bend your back down. However, in our conversation today, it’s the support function that’s most important. When a patient has a pregnancy or big weight gain, it has a mass effect on the inside of the abdomen. What this does is push forward. With this forward push, the most important change is the separation of the rectus muscles - the creation of the space between the two rows, which is also known as the diastasis. In addition to the separation of these muscles, we have the stretching of the skin with stretch marks created if the skin stretches a lot or quickly.

 Once our patients have their babies, lose their weight, or both, these muscles never return to their pre-pregnancy or pre-weight gain position. So, as a function of this, there is a loss of support. What this looks like in most patients is a roundness that’s most times wrongly attributed to fat.  

The steps of an abdominoplasty are as follows:

• What I do first is design a very low incision in the groin crease. I also create a second incision to release the belly button from its attachment to the skin. This allows me to lift the skin and fat off the muscle so I can see that diastasis. • What I do next is take a permanent suture and weave it between these muscles – above and below the belly button. When I tighten that, it brings the muscles back together to their original pre-pregnancy or pre-massive weight gain condition. This move restores the support to the abdomen. This suture, in fact, functions as an internal corset or girdle. This is a permanent stitch that will be with the patient for the remainder of their life.

• What I do next is fold that skin and fat down and pull downward. The extra skin fat is measured and removed. Another opening is created to retrieve the belly button through. When my patients wake up, they look something like this. The length of the incision varies with how much skin redundancy there is actually is in that patient. It’s usually a lot shorter then what’s illustrated here. There are no sutures on the skin and there are no staples used in any of my patients. All of our sutures are woven underneath the skin and usually dissolve within approximately 2-3 months. What the patients will have are two soft plastic drains - one that exits either side of the incision. These drains do not hurt while they are in, and does not hurt to remove them. What the drains do in fact is help remove any fluid that would accumulate as part of normal healing in the recovery of my patients. These drains come out at 7 and 14 days respectively. This procedure takes about an hour and a half. It is done in my surgery center, here, next door. Our center is a free-standing ambulatory surgery center which is licensed by the State of Nevada. We are also federally regulated because we’re Medicaid certified. What that means to my patients is that my facility meets the highest standards of safety equipment and personnel. All of my abdominoplasty patients are seen the next morning for their first dressing change and their wound check. They are then seen at 7 days, 14 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after that. I see all of my patients once per year or often as they need to. I have over 8,000 patients in my practice and they are each seen once a year.  

Farrah: I’m definitely happy with Dr. Stile’s work. I believe that he has a definite vision for what he’s doing for me. He paid attention to my body line, he paid attention to where he put the line. It’s important that your line is going to be able to stay in the costume and that your skin stretches. I think I spent the last 4 days just going through photos, going over photos, looking at the body line so that it will fit nicely in my costumes the way I want it to and that’s important.

About BOTOX Cosmetic

How did the produce that is used to relieve migraines, excessive sweating and muscle spasms make its way into the plastic surgeon’s office?  BOTOX works by paralyzing muscles. This reduces or eliminates muscle contractions that are possibly responsive for headaches or urinary tract spasms. This same combination of onabotulinumtoxinA works for relaxing facial muscles to eliminate or greatly reduce wrinkles and lines in the face.

About Dysport

As time elapses, the muscles between and above the eyebrows repeatedly contract and tighten, causing wrinkles. With just one injection into each of five points above and between the eyebrows, Dysport blocks the signals sent from the nerve to the muscles, resulting in muscle activity reduction and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause wrinkles and lines.

Results

The results of BOTOX are generally noticed 5-7 days after the injections. The effects of BOTOX treatment can last up to 6 months. The results of Dysport normally appear 3-5 days after the injections. The effects from Dysport treatment can last up to 4 months. There are indications that the duration of BOTOX cosmetic results increase with consistent usage.

Men for Plastic Surgery Becoming More Common

With cosmetic surgery no longer taboo and a workplace focus on looking young, more men go under the knife.

By Susan Carpenter | Article Source: Los Angeles Times

When John Tlapa looked in the mirror, his nose looked like he “could pick a door lock,” he said. It resembled “a hook with a point on it. It was pretty ugly." So two years ago, the San Diego-based screenwriter underwent rhinoplasty to improve his profile and fix a deviated septum that had plagued him for almost 40 years.

Tlapa, 54, is part of a trend that, in recent years, has seen increasing numbers of men seeking cosmetic surgery. In 2011, 9% of surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures in the U.S. were conducted on men, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery — a 121% increase since 1997.

See All Before & After Pictures

While the number of cosmetic surgical procedures performed in the U.S. increased just 1% from 2010 to 2011, the number of males getting liposuction and eyelid surgeries is on the rise. More than 41,000 lipoplasty procedures and almost 23,000 eyelid surgeries were performed on men in 2011, increasing 14% and 6%, respectively.

Women in recent years have been trending toward minimally invasive cosmetic treatments such as Botox and Restalyne, but the fastest-growing cosmetic procedures for men are surgical. Liposuction tops the list of most common cosmetic surgical procedures performed on men, followed by rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, male breast reduction and face-lifts.

“The taboo is lifting for men,” said Renato Saltz, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Park City, Utah, who is also vice president of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. “In the past few years, plastic surgery is everywhere. All those nip-and-tuck shows have brought plastic surgery to a common ground.”

As recently as a decade ago, “Patients would come in, have their surgery and hide for eight weeks. Nobody would talk about it,” Saltz said. “Now you have your surgery in the morning, and in the afternoon you’re talking to your friends. It’s become a much more acceptable commodity.”

A combination of medical, technological, economic and societal factors are contributing to the increase. Advances in anesthesia, in particular, have made many procedures available on an outpatient basis, negating the need for overnight hospital stays, reducing recovery times and allowing patients to get back to work more quickly. Just 18% of cosmetic surgeries were performed in hospitals last year, according to the ASAPS. The prevalence of makeover shows on television, and the wealth of information available over the Internet, has also contributed to plastic surgery’s acceptance.

But the largest driver of the trend is the simple fact that such a sizable portion of the U.S. population is aging. People ages 35 to 64 account for 71% of all cosmetic procedures in the U.S., the country with the largest number of cosmetic procedures performed, according to the 2011 International Study of Aesthetic/Cosmetic Surgery Procedures.

“There’s an increased trend of men over the last three or four years because of the economy,” said Dr. Babak Azizzadeh of Beverly Hills, a Harvard-trained plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the face, eyes and nose. “It’s requiring that people look younger and more youthful. In the past, CEOs had to have a lot of gray hair. Now you see Mark Zuckerberg, these big entrepreneurs who are young. The reason eyelid and abdominal liposuction surgeries are so popular is because the eyelids and midsection are among the first parts of the body to show signs of age and among the most difficult to remedy without surgery,” Azizzadeh said.
