Lake County Brachioplasty and VASER surgery

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

Tripoint Lake Health in Concord, Ohio Dr Vanek performs Brachioplasty and VASER Lipo surgery.

Are your Arms Bothering You?- As short sleeve weather approaches the loose skin and excess fullness of the arms will become more difficult to camouflage with bulky clothing.  Patients with good skin tone can be candidates for Arm Vaser, which can dramatically improve the contour and appearance of the arm diameter in s few short days of recovery.  A 4mm incision is sited over the elbow near the crease and another in the axilla for optimum post op concealment.  Vaser ultrasound energy is delivered through the two small incisions via a titanium probe passed under the skin.  The skin is stimulated to tighten as the fat layer is liquefied selectively.  No compression is needed after the first day.  The incisions are dressed with a steri-strip.  For patients with heavier arms or lots of excess skin, the Vaser technique can be combined with an arm lift or “brachioplasty” technique to facilitate shrinking of the excess tissue not addressed by surgical removal alone.  Exercise can be resumed for the larger procedure in 2 to 3 weeks.  Either procedure allows you to shower the next day. 

 

PS  Vaser patients have permanent removal of subcutaneous fat.

SCULPTRA available in Lake County

SCULPTRA, FDA approved injectable for facial rejuvenation

 

WILLOUGHBY, OH – Sculptra injectable is available in my office to use for facial rejuvenation.  Injectable medical anti-aging treatment continues to respond to patient desires. The molecule, poly-L-lactic acid, has been used safely for the past 25 years as absorbable suture material.  It works by stimulating your own collagen production in the face where aging lines and deep folds manifest because of collagen loss.  Injectable Sculptra has been used widely in Europe for close to a decade.  This treatment will allow gradual improvement in facial aging over a 3 month period.  The effects last over 2 years.  Juvederm and Restylane last about a year.  Radiesse lasts for about 2 years.  All are injected in an in-office procedure with local anesthesia.  71% of women surveyed preferred a longer lasting result that came on gradually.  Sculptra does exactly that. Even when the effect wears off, you manifest more volume than your start point.  The amount of agent to be injected is decided upon in your consultation and the three injections are about a month apart.  It can be combined with lip enhancement or laser skin rejuvenation in the same treatment day.
