Mommy Makeover |
|
|
|
 Many mothers, after childbirth, observe their bodies changing in undesirous ways including protruding bellies with extra, loose skin and stretch-marks, as well as deflated, sagging breasts after breastfeeding. These problems may be corrected in a “Mommy-makeover” procedure that includes performing a tummy-tuck, liposuction and breast surgery such as breast augmentation and/or breastlifts. These may be performed either at the same time or staged to suit the schedule, needs and safety of each patient.

SmartLipo™ |
|
|
|
SmartLipo™ is a new laser-assisted liposuction technique that simultaneously destroys fat cells and tightens skin. FDA-approved SmartLipo offers a faster, safer and less invasive alternative to other liposuction methods, with fewer side effects and a shorter recovery time.
SmartLipo achieves dramatic results by delivering Nd:YAG laser energy through a small incision to localized fat deposits on the face and body. The laser not only ruptures fat cells, which then drain away harmlessly, it also coagulates tissue on contact, stimulating collagen production for tighter skin and resulting in less bleeding. Fat removal can usually be done in a single 45- to 60-minute treatment with local anesthesia.

Abdominoplasty "Tummy Tuck" |
|
|
|
Abdominoplasty helps to flatten and shape the abdomen and waist by removing excess fat and skin and tightening muscles. The best candidates have pockets of fat or loose skin that haven't responded well to diet and exercise. The procedure can also be useful for women with stretched skin and muscles from pregnancy.
The procedure takes approximately two to five hours and can be performed with general anesthesia or local anesthesia with a sedative. Recovery time ranges from two weeks to a few months. With a balanced diet and regular exercise, results are long-lasting. Although abdominoplasty will leave a permanent scar stretching between the hips, Dr. Gawley places the incision low enough for even a bikini to conceal it.

Liposuction |
|
|
|
One of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures, liposuction sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, chin, cheeks, neck and upper arms that have not responded to diet and exercise.
Dr. Gawley offers tumescent liposuction to those patients who qualify. For all liposuction procedures, he makes a tiny incision in as inconspicuous a place as possible. A cannula (small tube) then breaks up the fat layer and suctions it out.

Body Lift |
|
|
|
The body lift is performed to remove excess skin and sometimes fat as well from the torso and upper legs. It is a complicated procedure that can take three to seven hours under general anesthesia and involves a difficult recovery period of four to six weeks, but it offers an improvement in appearance for patients who have lost significant amounts of weight due to childbearing, diet, exercise or bariatric surgery, or who have loose, inelastic skin for other reasons. The procedure is often combined with others such as breastlifts, facelifts and armlifts to retain a proper body proportion.
