BODY PROCEDURES

ABDOMINOPLASTY (TUMMY TUCK) Tummy tuck icon

Abdominoplasty, better known as a tummy tuck, is a way to tighten the abdominal muscles and remove excess, saggy skin. Often following pregnancy or substantial weight loss, one may find they can’t quite lose the extra fat or skin in the abdominal area. Abdominoplasty, the surgical removal of extra fat and skin, maybe the answer. In many cases, abdominoplasty may be combined with other procedures, such as liposuction, if needed. Patients are usually able to return to normal activities by three to four weeks. Abdominoplasty surgery is performed at Northern Arizona SurgiCenter, our privately owned, fully licensed, certified, and AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery center located in the lower level of the Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona building in Flagstaff. Post-surgery, most patients will spend one night at the Summit Center in Flagstaff for recovery care and will need to wear a velcro abdominal binder for about three weeks. Full recovery takes approximately six weeks.

BRACHIOPLASTY (ARM TIGHTENING) Arm lift icon

Brachioplasty involves removal of the extra fat and saggy skin that may hang off the back of the arm to create a “chicken” or “bat” wing appearance. The result is a more toned, proportionate and contoured arm with smoother skin and more muscle detail. Brachioplasty surgery is performed at Northern Arizona SurgiCenter, our fully licensed and AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery center located in the lower level of the Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona building in Flagstaff.

MEDIAL THIGH LIFT Thigh lift plastic surgery icon

Many times as we age, the thighs may accumulate extra fat and nearby skin can begins to sag. This may lead to skin irritation and infection as the thighs rub together, and may impact the ability to participate in normal activities. In addition, this can negatively impact one’s self-esteem. The extra fat and excess skin can often be addressed with a medial thigh lift. In this surgical procedure, the extra fat and skin is removed to leave smaller, tighter thighs without wrinkles or “sagginess”. Swelling and bruising typically resolves within a week, and patients often return to normal activity by three weeks. Medal thigh lift procedures are performed at Northern Arizona SurgiCenter, our fully licensed and AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery center located in the lower level of the Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona building in Flagstaff.

“BUTTOCKS LIFT”  Butt lift plastic surgery icon

Buttocks lift, therwise known as fat grafting, is a technique that uses your body’s own extra fat to fill in areas that you may feel are deficient. This often entails removing fat from your abdominal, flank or thigh areas and placing it in the superficial buttocks. Fat grafting may also be performed at Northern Arizona SurgiCenter, our fully licensed and AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery center located in the lower level of the Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona building in Flagstaff.

LABIAPLASTY Labiaplasty icon

Both pregnancy and aging can lead to an unsightly, and uncomfortable extension of the inner vaginal lips past the outer lips. This often results in irritation during everyday activities, difficulty finding undergarments, and painful intercourse. Labiaplasty is a procedure that re-shapes, and reduces the size of the labia with minimal scarring. Not only will your vagina look young again, but you will find physical activity to be much more comfortable. Labiaplasty is performed at Northern Arizona SurgiCenter, our privately owned, fully licensed, certified, and AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery center located in the lower level of the Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona building in Flagstaff.

LIPOSUCTION  Liposuction icon

Liposuction is the suction removal of fat from areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise. It is not a weight loss technique, and is best suited to patients of normal weight with resistant pockets of fat that are out of proportion to the rest of their figure. The risks of liposuction are minimal, and through post recovery healing varies greatly by patient, you can expect some swelling and bruising in the first 48 hours. You will likely be required to wear a support garment over the treated area, and bending over, straining and lifting should be avoided for the first few days post surgery. In general, you can expect to return to most normal activities within 10 days. Liposuction is performed as an out patient procedure or at Northern Arizona SurgiCenter, our fully licensed and AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery center located in the lower level of the Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona building in Flagstaff.

The “saggy”, “deflated” breast may be lifted or augmented to restore firmness and volume. The abdominal muscles may be tightened and extra skin removed. The appropriate procedure, as well as respective post-operative course, depends upon the patient’s need and this will be thoroughly discussed at the time of consultation.

POST-WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY Post bariatric skin icon

Following successful weight loss, many people find that they suffer from large amounts of excess skin. This extra, “deflated” skin may lead to skin infections, may complicate the ability to participate in daily activities and can negatively impact self-esteem. In general, the abdomen, arms, and thighs are most affected, and these areas may be best addressed by a circumferential body lift, buttocks lift, arm or thigh lift. The appropriate procedure, as well as respective post-operative course, depends upon the patient’s need and this will be thoroughly discussed at the time of consultation. Body Lift procedures are performed at Northern Arizona SurgiCenter, our fully licensed and AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery center located in the lower level of the Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona building in Flagstaff.

LASER SKIN TREATMENTS

With time, our skin begins to show signs of exposure to the elements. Sun, wind and dry air are the biggest offenders, but the passing years are also to blame. As we age, our skin loses collagen resulting in sagging skin, lines, and wrinkles. It is inevitable. But there is hope. Laser skin resurfacing allows us to reverse the ravages of time by removing the most damaged areas of the skin without sedation.

Effective for treating dark spots, uneven skin tone, dull skin, fine lines, and wrinkles, laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical procedure that can be performed as a stand-alone intervention or in conjunction with facial plastic surgery procedures such as a facelift, cosmetic eyelid surgery or neck lift. Capable of smoothing out the fine lines and wrinkles of the eyes and mouth, softening deep laugh and frown creases, and minimizing acne and surgical scars, laser skin resurfacing is ideal for men or women of all ages.

At Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona, our highly skilled surgeons currently offer laser skin resurfacing using the Sharplan SilkTouch CO2 laser. Laser skin resurfacing is a wonderful way for patients to freshen the appearance of their skin without surgery. It works by stripping off the outer layer of your skin to reveal the new skin underneath while also stimulating renewal of your skin’s own collagen. The result is radiant, full, smooth skin, and a younger-looking you.

To learn more about laser skin resurfacing at Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona, contact us today at (928) 774-2300 or (800) 962-1390 to schedule a complimentary Laser Skin Resurfacing consultation at any of our five Northern Arizona locations.

SPIDER VEIN TREATMENT

Spider veins are small clusters of unsightly red, blue or purple veins that appear on the thighs, calves, and ankles of women, often causing them to avoid showing their legs. A common cosmetic concern, it is estimated that nearly half of the female population, as well as many men, suffer from spider veins.

A number of factors contribute to the development of spider veins including heredity, pregnancy, hormonal shifts, weight gain, and prolonged sitting or standing. Luckily, spider veins are easily treatable with sclerotherapy, an injection of a sclerosing solution into the veins, which causes them to collapse and become less visible.

At Plastic Surgeons of Northern Arizona, sclerotherapy is performed as an outpatient procedure in our offices, and treatment takes anywhere from between fifteen to forty-five minutes. There is little to no down time, and patients can usually resume their normal activities immediately following treatment.
