Hand, Arm and Leg Aesthetics

Hand, Arm and Leg Aesthetics

As we age, our bodies undergo physical changes due to various factors like lifestyle choices, diet, sun exposure, and weight fluctuations. These changes can affect our overall health and appearance. For example, the veins in our hands become more prominent and our hands may develop wrinkles. Stubborn fat in the thighs and upper arms can be difficult to eliminate through exercise and diet alone. Additionally, significant weight loss can result in excess skin that has lost its elasticity. Fortunately, there are procedures available to address these concerns and rejuvenate the affected areas, making them look healthier and more aesthetically pleasing.

Arm Lift Surgery

When someone loses a considerable amount of weight, their skin may not have enough elasticity to bounce back, which can lead to excess skin and tissue. Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure specifically designed to address this concern. It involves reshaping the back part of the upper arm, from the arm to the elbow, by removing the excess skin and tissue. This results in a smoother and more toned appearance. Brachioplasty is often performed after weight loss surgery and can be combined with other body contouring procedures, such as targeting the midsection, under the chin, or along the inner thighs, to achieve comprehensive body transformation.

Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure specifically designed to address excess, saggy skin in the thigh region. This condition often occurs after significant weight loss. The primary goal of the procedure is to excise the droopy skin and unnecessary fat tissue, resulting in enhanced natural contours of the thighs. In many cases, a thigh lift procedure is performed in combination with liposuction. Liposuction helps to remove stubborn fat deposits that may be difficult to eliminate solely through a surgical incision. By combining these two procedures, patients can achieve superior results, as it provides a comprehensive solution to reshape and refine the contour of the thigh region.

Liposuction Surgery

For many people, achieving their ideal figure may mean a rigorous routine of both eating healthily and regular exercise. Although for many, this may eventually yield the results that they desire, there are still many of us left with pockets of fat that just do not seem to burn away regardless as to how much physical exercise we do and how healthily we eat. This is where American Aesthetic can help. With our liposuction procedures (both traditional liposuction and vaser), we can help you achieve your ideal figure, as both procedures are specifically designed to target and remove those “hard to get rid of” pockets of fat.

Fat transfer to hand

The thin skin tissues on our hands, thanks to constant use and continual exposure to the sun and the elements, can eventually begin to look aged and wrinkled. If you're experiencing this issue, hand fat transfers with one of our skilled surgeons might very well be an easy and effective way to restore a more youthful appearance without extensive surgery. As you age, your skin thins, exposing the veins, tendons, and bones to a far greater extent. Hands are also difficult to treat due to their complex structure and the number of bones, tendons, and muscles involved. That's why treatment requires specialist experience. They can help address your specific concerns and give you the best results.

• Who is a good candidate for fat transfer?

Hand fat transfers can be a fantastic non-surgical option for achieving more fuller youthful hands. By adding volume to your hands, it can help reverse the thinning of the skin and make veins, tendons, and bones less visible. Many middle-aged patients have found success with hand fat transfers at American Aesthetic. To explore this option further, I recommend reaching out to our office and scheduling a consultation. Our experts will be able to assess your specific needs and provide you with personalized recommendations. Don't hesitate to take the first step towards youthful-looking hands.

• The procedure

The procedure involves using processed fat from your own body to re-contour and smooth the hands. Fat cells are removed through liposuction from donor areas like the navel, thighs, or buttocks, and then carefully injected into the wrinkled areas using a blunt needle and syringe. The doctor may overfill the treated area to compensate for the re-absorption of fat cells. It's a natural and effective way to achieve rejuvenated hands without the need for major surgery.

Post Op Care

• You should wear the post-op “step 1 garment” for a period of one week after the operation.
• You should make sure that the garments are fitted well making sure there are no creases or folds.
• Take the medication you were prescribed by your surgeon until it is complete
• Do not smoke or drink alcohol as these may interfere with the healing process.
• Empty out any drains that have been put in place as directed by your surgeon or patient coordinator and be careful to note how much fluid has been drained.
• You may take a shower a day after the operation but do not scrub the area and make sure that the area is patted dry.
• Avoid eating spicy foods and sugar free sweets or candy and also avoid foods high in salt as this may prolong swelling.
• Drink plenty of water.
• You may start lymphatic massage after the first 2 weeks of surgery. Please make sure that you go to a qualified practioner, however.

As there are medical and physical limitations as to how much fat can be safely removed and transfered, the procedure may not be suitable for those who are overweight.

•Liposuction

As we age, lose weight or after we give birth, we may find certain pockets of fat are harder to remove than others through exercise and diet alone. Liposuction can help remove this fat by extracting it with a very strong vacuum. Outside of traditional liposuction, we also provide vaser liposuction which uses ultrasonic waves first to breakdown fat cells before extracting them. This often leads to less damage being done to the remaining tissue and thus enabling a quicker recovery time. Liposuction is a procedure which can be performed on all body parts.

Tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Some of us are left with an excess of skin around our tummy area after losing a lot of weight or giving birth. As this skin cannot be lost through exercise or diet alone, a ‘tummy tuck’ can be used to surgically remove the excess skin to give your tummy a thinner more defined look. It is important to remember that a tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure and may not be a suitable procedure for everyone.

Vaginoplasty

Vaginoplasty can take on many different forms surgically and the type of procedure you recieve really depends on your goals or medical needs and may include the reconstruction or recreation of the vaginia using a multitude of techniques. Vaginoplasty is often sought after by those who are seeking to address defects caused by birth or trauma in order to improve sexual function as well as by those who need vaginal reconstruction after undergoing radiation therapy for cancer and other conditions. Vaginoplasty is also used to help address congenital abnormailities which may have affected the development of the vagina.

Crowns (Dental)

Crowns, which are also sometimes called caps, are carefully fitted sleeves that sit over an existing tooth in order to protect it from further damage or to improve your smile. Often applied as part of a root canal treatment, they can also hold together teeth that are cracked and support bridges. Not only this, they can also be used to cover and improve the look of teeth that have become discolored.

Dental implants (Dental)

Unlike other tooth replacement procedures, implants actually help promote healthy bone growth as they are osteoconducive. Generally, it is a small surgical procedure, carried out under local anaesthetic, in which a titanium screw will be fitted into your jaw. Dental implants are usually used where patients have more than one missing tooth and using a bridge is no longer possible.
