Fat Transfer Butt Lift
Many women and a growing number of men want a curvier, rounder and shapelier rear end. Whether it is time, weight loss, or just improving on mother nature people can undergo injections of their own fat in a surgical procedure known a gluteoplasty or Brazilian butt lift. Working through a small incision between the butt cheeks, the surgeon injects the patient’s own fat into each butt cheek. During recovery the patient wears a compression garment. In most cases non-athletic activities and driving can be resumed in about 5 days. Breast Augmentation – Three ViewsBreast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enlarges woman’s breasts. An implant is placed behind the woman’s breast to enhance her natural breast. Some women desire larger breasts. Other women have differences between the right and left side. The goal of the surgery is to accentuate the woman’s natural breasts, creating a more full, confident appearance.
You Look Different – What Happened?One of the hallmarks of great cosmetic or plastic surgery is that you can’t really tell what changed, but that the overall impression and appearance has changed, but changed so subtly that it is not apparent. An exchange like: “Wow, Henry, we haven’t met in ages – nice nose job!” is probably not a good compliment for the person responsible for the ‘nose job,’ but an exchange like “Man, you look great, what have you done, got a lot of sleep since last month? Come on – tell me what you did, I’m your friend, you can tell!’ – certainly is. The face lift in the following images is such a successful procedure. You can’t point your finger on what exactly has changed but the overall appearance and impression is of a much younger person.

Blepharoplasty – Eyelid Enhancement Surgery (Blepharplasty)It can be hard to feel alive and vibrant when the eyes looking back at you appear tired and old. Loose skin and bags over and under your eyes make you look more tired and older than you may feel inside. Each year thousands of men and women undergo a simple eyelid surgery to help restore a more energetic and youthful appearance.
An eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a simple procedure performed to correct sagging eyelids, and/or to remove fatty pouches under the eyes and excess skin on the upper eyelids. This procedure can help improve vision in older patients who have hooding of their upper eyelids. Blepharoplasty surgery is customized for every patient, depending on his or her particular needs. It can be performed alone involving upper, lower or both eyelid regions, or in conjunction with other surgical procedures of the eye, face, brow, or nose. Eyelid surgery cannot stop the process of aging. It can however, diminish the look of loose skin and bagginess in the eyelid region.
Blepharoplasty is a simple outpatient procedure where the excess skin and fat are trimmed away. This erases the tired and angry expression time might have added and makes you look as good as you feel. The incisions on the upper eyelids are well camouflaged in the eyelid crease and the lower incisions are hidden inside the eyelids. There are various techniques utilized for eyelid surgery, and at the initial consultation, Dr. Orloff will assess your individual concerns and formulate a treatment plan best suited to meet your desired goals. Filling clothes betterUsing breast implants not only enlarges the size, but it provides more fullness in the upper chest and cleavage area. Wearing smaller tops and thin shoulder strapped clothing becomes easier. In many cases the procedure eliminates the need for a bra and the need to hide bra straps. Strapless evening dresses fit much better. One of Doctor Orloff’s patients chronicles her recovery in her blog and has given permission to quote her. Here are some excerpts from her web pages.

Tummy TuckMany women have a hard time loosing the pooch in their tummy following childbirth. Others have lost a lot of weight, but the skin around their abdomen simply will not tighten, even with exercise. Abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as a “tummy tuck” can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. Through this surgical procedure, Dr. Orloff removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen, while tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall.
Dr. Orloff also specializes in the endoscopic tuck in which a very small incision is made to tighten up the abdominal muscles. This can be a wonderful option for those patients who have developed a pooch in the tummy but don’t have significant loose skin or fat. Another option available for consideration by Dr. Orloff is the option of performing a “mini-tummy tuck” or partial abdominoplasty, which focuses on the area below the navel only. Dr. Orloff may also suggest the possibility of abdominoplasty with liposuction in adjacent areas for maximum results. There are many options available to correct a protruding abdomen. At your initial consultation, Dr. Orloff will discuss with you the various options available, and will make a recommendation based on your current condition and your goals and desires for the outcome of the treatment. Each treatment plan is customized to meet the specific needs of each patient. |
