Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Surgery at Naficy Rejuvenation Center

There is a new option for breast augmentation: your own fat. Recent advances in fat transfer techniques has reawakened interest in fat transfer to the breasts. Lipo augmentation can result in a very natural appearing, moderately sized breast augmentation composed of your own living tissues. No breast implant is required for Lipo Augmentation. The procedure combines liposuction of the thighs, abdomen and flanks with transfer of the fat into the breast tissues. The result can be at least one cup size of augmentation.

COMBINATION TREATMENTS = CREATING THE BEST RESULTS IN THE LEAST AMOUNT OF TIME

Restoring volume in your face is one of the most effective and natural ways to look younger and more vibrant. Restylane and Juvederm treatments are a quick and effective way to give your face instant volume - smoothing out deeper lines and folds, and plumping lips for a youthful smile. The positive effects of Restylane and Juvederm are even more dramatic when used in combination with the smoothing effects of Botox. Botox not only smoothes fine lines and wrinkles - it also prevents new lines and wrinkles from forming! Both treatments can be performed in less than 15 minutes and typically do not require any downtime. Worried about facial skin laxity? Add Thermage to your treatment plan for a non-surgical face lift! Be proactive in maintaining your skin - call us for a complimentary consultation to see what combination treatments can do for you. You will be amazed by the results!

FAT INJECTIONS TO THE FACE

One of the best ways to help reverse the signs of aging is to add body fat to the face! Using gentle techniques, Dr. Naficy removes fat from the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. Your own fat is then injected into the face to fill in wrinkles, correct nasolabial folds, or to plump lips. The greatest advantage of fat over Sculptra or Restylane is that it is 100% natural.

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

The Ideal Arm

The attractive, tapering contour of a woman's arm is admired, especially during the warmer months, when short sleeves and sundresses are in fashion. The components of an attractive upper arm include a gradually tapering cylinder from the top of the upper arm extending down to the elbow. There is a well-defined groove along the inside of the upper arm, which marks the border between the biceps muscle and its insertion onto the humerus bone.

How does arm shape change with weight loss and aging?

With time and weight gain, fat deposits accumulate in the posterior compartment of the arm. This adds weight and heaviness to the arm, and gradually the skin in this portion of the arm loses elasticity. With rapid weight loss (after bariatric weight-loss surgery, for example) the skin in this region of the arm does not retract around the smaller arm volume. The result is a 'bat wing' deformity, composed of some excess fat and a great deal of excess skin.

Arm Lift Surgery by Scott Sattler MD

For patients with a mild expansion of the fat content in the posterior part of the arm, and no excess skin, good improvement can be achieved with liposuction alone.

For patients with even a mild amount of skin laxity in the posterior arm, or patients with a moderate amount of fat, the best solution is a brachioplasty operation.

What can arm lift surgery achieve?

The purpose of brachioplasty surgery is to reduce the volume of the back of the arm with liposuction, and remove the excess skin that creates the unattractive sagginess. It is a common misconception that liposuction alone will induce sufficient skin tightening to correct the excess skin. Liposuction simply does not tighten skin any significant amount, no matter what liposuction technique is used. The length of the brachioplasty scar is determined by the amount of excess skin along the upper arm.

For patients with mild skin laxity, a short incision can be made in the arm pit, and the excess skin removed. The number of patients that such a 'short scar' brachioplasty can help is relatively small.





Brachioplasty with short scar in armpit

For patients with more significant skin laxity that involves the middle and lower thirds of the length of the upper arm, a longer incision will be required.





Before and After full incision brachioplasty

Some patients have lost a substantial amount of weight and have significant skin laxity along the upper lateral chest wall, below the arm pit. These patients can be treated with an extended brachioplasty procedure. In these cases, an incision is continued across the arm pit and onto the lateral chest, thus removing excess skin in this region.

What type of anesthesia is used for arm-lift surgery?

Arm lift surgery is done under IV sedation anesthesia. This technique relies on intra-venous sedation that makes you very comfortable and unaware of any activity around you. While asleep, you are breathing on your own while you are constantly monitored by an anesthesia provider. The main advantages of twilight anesthesia are: (i) it does not require putting a breathing tube in the throat, (ii) it does not require a breathing machine, (iii) the recovery is much faster, (iv) there is much less "hang-over" from anesthesia, (v) and there is much less nausea. All these elements translate into greater comfort and safety. Brachioplasty surgery takes between two and four hours to perform, and is done on an outpatient basis. The procedure can also be done under a general anesthetic if you wish.

What is the recovery process like?

A brachioplasty takes between 2-4 hours to perform, depending on the extent of the procedure. After surgery, you will go home the same day. In order to reduce swelling and improve the contour of the arm, you will wear a pair of lightly compressive arm sleeves for two weeks post-op. Your arms will feel 'tight', but you will be able to bend them at the elbow. You should avoid any type of weight lifting exercise for 4 weeks post-op. You are encouraged to walk after surgery, and to do light aerobic exercise one week after surgery.

I am interested! What do I do next?

If you are considering this procedure we encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Sattler. During this visit he will listen to your concerns and discuss your options. He will tell you whether you are a suitable candidate for an arm lift procedure and inform you of the potential risks of the procedure. There are a variety of arm lift procedures, and the procedure must be custom tailored for the patient to get the best possible result. You will also have a chance to view before and after photo albums of his patients who have undergone procedures similar to what you are considering.
