Often, dieting and exercise do not provide individuals with the figure changing results they desire. Areas of stubborn fat and drooping skin can prevent the achievement of slender body contours and a lean, flat abdomen. Through body contouring procedures, Dr. Raskin can smooth and tighten sagging or protruding areas of the body and create a proportionate silhouette that may have been impractical for her patients to attain on their own.
Dr Raskin performs the following body contouring procedures:
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Stretched skin and excess fat accumulation resulting from pregnancy, weight gain, or weight loss can cause a drooping or protruding abdomen. For patients who want a slimmer, flatter abdomen, Dr. Raskin can perform tummy tuck, during which she surgically tightens loose abdominal muscles, removes excess skin and fat, and refines the contours of the waistline with liposuction. This procedure is extremely effective, and, after surgery and healing, patients’ midsections appear trimmer, tighter and shapelier.
Liposuction
Liposuction is the ideal method for removing localized areas of excess fat from almost anywhere on the body. Most often performed on the abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs, buttocks, and upper arms, liposuction breaks down fat cells in targeted areas and suctions them from the body. When performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Raskin, liposuction procedures produce smooth, lean results that can transform the proportions of the figure. With proper exercise and a healthy diet, the results achieved with liposuction can last long into the future.
