Cosmetic Plastic Surgery
Restore Your Confidence
With time and age, our bodies lose muscle mass and soft tissues lose tone and elasticity. Weight gain or weight loss change our bodies which often leads to volume changes in certain areas or extra skin or stretch marks that simply don’t respond to exercise and diet changes. Cosmetic surgery procedures, such as “tummy tucks”, arm lifts and thigh lifts can restore a more youthful form and rejuvenate your physical appearance.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Weight loss and aging often combine to create a “deflated” sagging abdomen that exercise and diet don’t seem to improve. Abdominoplasty or “tummy-tuck” can tighten a sagging stomach with an incision hidden beneath the underwear line or within a stomach crease. A tummy tuck will remove extra skin and fat from the lower portion of the abdomen. In addition, muscles under the skin that have become stretched, separated, or damaged in any way can be tightened up during the procedure, while any existing hernias are repaired. The result of your tummy tuck is a tighter, firmer abdomen with an inconspicuous incision. Depending upon your specific needs, Dr. Cole may perform either a traditional “tummy tuck” which utilizes a smaller incision and less invasive surgery. Either way, these tummy tuck procedures are done in an outpatient setting under general anesthesia. Bruising and swelling typically resolve within 2-3 weeks and patients often return to work within 10-14 days.

Liposuction
Liposuction sometimes referred to as “lipo”, slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits and improving body contours and proportion. Liposuction can be a powerful tool, especially when refining thighs, upper arms, hips, and buttocks, as well as the abdomen and waist. Liposuction can be performed alone or along with other plastic surgery procedures, such as a facelift, neck lift or tummy tuck.

Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is an increase in the amount of breast tissue in males. In some cases this may be weight related. Otherwise, an imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone is typically the cause. Gynecomastia can affect one or both breasts, sometimes unevenly. Boys going through puberty and older men may develop gynecomastia due to natural changes in hormone levels. There may be other causes too, and this is typically discussed during the time of consultation. Most often, gynecomastia isn’t a malignant medical problem but it can be problematic for many reasons. Patients with gynecomastia may have notable pain in their breasts or they may feel self conscious. While gynecomastia goes away on its own in many cases, recalcitrant cases may require surgery. Liposuction to remove the excess tissue works very well and leaves a “scarless” result. More focal tissue masses behind the areola (retroareolar buttons) do very well with a limited incision and extraction of the tissue. Very large collections of breast tissue respond well to subcutaneous mastectomy although this is rarely necessary.

Panniculectomy
A panniculectomy is a surgery done to remove stretched out, excess fat and overhanging skin from your abdomen. This can occur after a person undergoes notable weight loss. The skin may hang down and cover your thighs and genitals. This often leads to rash formation, discomfort, skin infections and generally an inability to take part in activities or exercises. This may also lead to spine or hip problems that complicate life later on. Surgery to remove this skin helps improve your health and appearance.
