Plastic surgery in Schaumburg includes a variety of cosmetic surgical procedures for both women and men. A plastic surgeon may work on the face, body, or breasts. They can also provide treatments for hair, skin, or veins.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure used in body contouring. The surgeon uses a thin hollow tube called a cannula to break and remove excess fat. There are many variations on this procedure. For example, in VASER Hi-Definition Body Sculpting, the cannula emits low-level ultrasound that melts the fat cells and makes it easier for the surgeon to suction them out with minimal damage to the surrounding tissues.
What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a common condition in which a boy or man develops excessive amounts of breast tissue. The patient may have excess fat, excess glandular tissue, or excess skin. Treatment will thus depend on the type of excess tissue. For example, if the patient has excess fat, the surgeon will often recommend tumescent liposuction in which the doctor will inject a special saline solution that contains an anesthetic and will make the fat cells swell up for easier removal. If the patient has excess glandular tissue, the surgeon will excise it and also remove any excess skin.
What Happens During A Facelift?
A facelift is any procedure done to tighten sagging facial skin and make the patient look younger. It can be surgical or non-surgical. Examples of non-surgical facelifts include vampire facelifts, liquid facelifts, chemical peels, and treatments with ultrasound, lasers, or radiofrequency energy. A liquid facelift involves the judicious use of Botox and dermal fillers to erase wrinkles and fine lines. Some dermal fillers can also add volume to the lips or cheeks.
