We believe Anesthesiologists should be present to provide proper sedation or even general anaesthesia. This provides our patients proper surgical assistants, nurses, technicians all at the same time. This also provides a recovery room staffed with trained nurses, not just one nurse. FACE Facelift Information Facelift Brochure A facelift, also known as Rhytidectomy, is a common procedure for individuals desiring a more youthful appearance. By removing a strip of skin in front of and behind the ear loose skin is pulled tight. This diminishes wrinkles in the lower portion of the face and upper neck. Rhytidectomy addresses the lower cheek area and the upper neck. Skin is removed from in front of and from behind the ear and the remaining skin is then pulled back. Often other procedures are added and performed at the same time or in separate surgeries a few weeks later. This patient had her eyes lifted as well. This is also known as a Blepharoplasty. 1 / 7

It can also be used to take up some loose skin for a sort of Breast Lift. In some cases when small breasts are different sizes, Augmentation may help even out proportions. Sometimes the breast that is just beginning to droop can be lifted some by just adding breast implants. Breast implants are also used in the reconstruction of the chest after mastectomy. In any case there is no age limit or time limit involved. In this practice saline filled implants are the preferred type but silicone implants may be used as well. Incisions during surgery are mostly under the lower breast pole. We would not go through the nipples. Surgery through the arm pit and belly button, are not practiced at Venice Plastic Surgery. 2 / 7

Tummy tucks are often completed in conjunction with liposuction for a full abdomen makeover. After having children, weight loss or just from aging, the skin looses its tension and in order to improve the area one must have both fat and skin excised. This is an Abdominoplasty. Arm Lift 3 / 7
Arm Lift also known as Brachioplasty, is useful for aged skin and for correcting flabby skin after weight loss. Liposuction (Lipoplasty) Information Liposuction, otherwise know as Lipoplasty removes excess body fat tissues on many areas of the body such as neck, arm, thighs, buttocks. Fat accumulates in the hips, breasts and abdomen of women, the gut mostly in men. When the skin has enough elasticity to snap back then these and other localized fatty areas may be reduced. The procedure is not to lose weight or remove generalized fat. It is aimed at localized, discrete deposits. Thigh Lift This is the process of reshaping the thigh for a more proportioned look. Incisions are made and the tissue underneith will be reshaped and tighetend, while excess skin is removed. SKIN 4 / 7
Cosmetic skin surgeries are of several types. Some surgeries are to improve old scars. Other types of skin surgery are for the improvement of the skin surface as with laser or dermabrasion. A face scarred from acne is best treated with dermabrasion. Removal of Cancer Tattoo Removal Tattoo Removal Information Tattoo Removal Brochure Laser treatments are based on burning the scarred area with a very hot light called a Laser. Multiple treatments are required regardless of the original size. A burn scar always results. Dermabrasion or Sialobrasion scrape the skin surface and again require multiple treatments. In all of the above treatments the scar resulting is the size of the original scar or bigger. It may not be as prominent as the tattoo but it will be as big. Most often we simply numb up the area and remove the tattoo as if it was a superficial skin lesion or growth. For larger tattoos another procedure may be required. The results are always the same. The tattoo is completely gone and replaced by a straight line 5 / 7

amenable to improvements by the use of liposuction. Other times, as in this patient, more needs to be done. Here the patient underwent a tummy tuck or Abdominoplasty. This is an out patient surgery that removes fat and skin and muscle tightening can also be done. Note that this person is not overweight. She just had a local bulge. This is the time when the best results are seen. It is best to loose weight first, then have this procedure performed. The above represents the opinion of A. E.
