Contact Dr. Whitfield today if you are interested in undergoing a body procedure and tackling those trouble spots.
Ultrasound assisted liposuction has been used in the United States since 1989 and offers numerous advantages over older methods of liposuction. With ultrasound assisted liposuction, ultrasonic waves are administered to the patient's fat deposits to liquefy and emulsify the material for easy extraction. With traditional liposuction, physical force was required to extract the fat deposits, often resulting in blood and tissue loss. With ultrasound assisted liposuction, available to Milwaukee and Madison-area residents at the cosmetic surgery practice of Dr. Robert Whitfield, such blood and tissue loss is kept to a minimum because the fat cells themselves are being targeted and liquidated. Additionally, areas of the body that would have been ill-suited for liposuction in the past are now target areas that can be treated effectively, including the back area, upper abdomen, and male breast. The overall effect of ultrasound assisted liposuction compared to tumescent liposuction is less damage to the surrounding tissue areas, less bleeding, and less bruising. If you are looking to undergo a liposuction procedure, Dr. Whitfield strongly believes that ultrasound assisted liposuction is the best method. Individuals interested in learning more about how liposuction can benefit them should schedule a consultation with Dr. Whitfield – he will help you make an informed decision as to whether liposuction is right for you.
Abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as a tummy tuck, is a popular procedure with our Milwaukee-area patients. In a tummy tuck procedure, Dr. Whitfield removes excess and loose skin from the lower abdomen and realigns the abdominal wall muscles to give the patient a firmer, slimmer stomach with a more youthful appearance. In some instances, Dr. Whitfield will combine liposuction with a tummy tuck procedure for patients who have excess fat deposits in the lower abdomen that they want removed, as a tummy tuck is not necessarily meant to be a weight loss procedure. In fact, many patients who undergo a tummy tuck procedure have already lost significant amounts of weight and find that no amount of exercise will rid them of their stretched skin. For individuals who find their skin stretched from weight loss or child birth, a tummy tuck procedure can give them a dramatically improved midsection. For men and women looking to get rid of their lower stomach bulges and loose, stretched skin, a tummy tuck may be the ideal solution to their problem. If you are interested in a tummy tuck procedure and live near Milwaukee or Madison, schedule a consultation with Dr. Robert Whitfield today.
A lower body lift is a combination of procedures that is designed to re-sculpt and shape the entire lower body. It is also possible to combine a lower body lift with procedures such as an arm lift for a full body lift. Combining such techniques as the tummy tuck, thigh lift, and buttocks lift, Dr. Whitfield can help eliminate fat deposits and refine the shape of the lower body for patients who are unhappy with their physique. Individuals who have lost significant weight, such as post-bariatric patients, as well as patients who are heavy-set and have not undergone bariatric surgery may be good candidates for a body lift. Because a body lift can be an extensive procedure, it can be completed in stages rather than at one sitting depending on the patient. If you feel you would be an ideal candidate for a body lift and would benefit from liposuction, you should contact our Milwaukee and Madison-area cosmetic surgery practice. Dr. Robert Whitfield can provide you with more information on the benefits and risks associated with lipectomy so that you can decide whether or not it is the solution you are seeking for your body transformation.
Patients who have unwanted sagging on the underside of the upper arm may be good candidates for an arm lift, or a brachioplasty. An arm lift can eliminate or reduce sagging of the skin as well as reduce or eliminate fat deposits in the underside of the arm. An incision is made on the underside of the arm or at the base of the arm, depending on the circumstances of the patient, and excess skin and fat is removed and existing tissue is tightened and reshaped. The procedure is relatively quick and the results are noticeable almost immediately. If you are uncomfortable going out in public with short sleeves or you have self-doubts about the underside of your arms, an arm lift may be right for you.
Thighplasty is a procedure best suited for patients who have undergone significant weight loss and have excess and loose skin on the inside and outside of the thighs. Patients with firm skin who are interested in reshaping their thighs would likely benefit more from targeted liposuction. A thigh lift is very similar to an arm lift – an incision is made, usually along the natural skin creases on the inside of the thigh, and excess skin and fat deposits are removed and the thigh tissue is reshaped. If you believe you are a qualified candidate for a thigh lift and liposuction procedure, schedule a consultation with our Milwaukee and Madison-area surgeon, Dr. Robert Whitfield, today.
Weight gain and age can greatly decrease the firmness of the buttocks and cause the tissue to sag, resulting in body issues and low self-esteem. However, individuals who have loose skin in the buttocks area or saggy and drooping buttocks may be able to reverse this downward trend with a buttocks lift, also known more informally as a butt lift. At our cosmetic surgery practice, Dr. Whitfield removes excess and saggy skin from the posterior and lifts the buttocks so that the skin is firmer and the buttocks are raised into a more desirable shape. Individuals seeking more volume in their buttocks may also be able to have implants placed to supplement the butt lift. The incisions for such a procedure can be made so that they are hidden by a bathing suit; something that many patients enquire about. If you are interested in a buttocks lift, Dr. Whitfield can help.
