Liposuction with Dr. Sardo

Liposuction removes localized fat deposits to sculpt or contour areas of your body. Certain fatty areas can be resistant to change, even with regular exercise and dieting. Hereditary tendencies may also play a role in difficult to eliminate fatty deposits. Liposuction removes these fatty deposits leaving you with an enhanced figure. Women usually find difficulties with the outer thigh area and abdomen while men tend to be most troubled by the abdomen and flanks (“love handles”). The most successful and commonly treated areas are the thighs, abdomen, hips, buttocks, flanks, upper arms, knees, under the chin, and neck. Other areas that can be treated are the back, breasts, calves, ankles and cheeks.

Tummy Tuck with Dr. Sardo

Dr. Sardo recommends tummy tuck if you have a protuberant abdomen with excess skin and fat, especially following child bearing changes. With tummy tuck, Dr. Sardo will tighten your muscles and remove excess skin and fat from your abdomen. Tummy tuck (also known as abdominoplasty) generally takes 2 – 3 hours to perform. The scar runs across the front of your lower abdomen, but it can usually be placed below your panty line and generally fades over time. Tummy tuck results are generally permanent. Depending on the amount of fat and excess skin, you may be a candidate for Dr. Sardo’s “mini” tummy tuck. Dr. Sardo’s mini tummy tuck produces a flatter, trimmer abdomen with less down time and scarring than the traditional full abdominoplasty.
