Body Procedures

Abdominoplasty, which is more commonly called a tummy tuck, refers to the surgical contouring of the mid-section of the body. A patient may decide to have a tummy tuck for a variety of reasons.

One common reason for women is that they may have a persistent bulge in the lower abdominal area that is caused by the relaxation of the lower abdominal muscles following either pregnancy or cesarean section. Another reason is that there is a persistent area of fullness following significant weight loss.

Whatever reason you have for wanting to improve the shape and contour of your abdomen, we can help.

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes fat that you can’t seem to get rid of through diet and exercise.

Liposuction is not a substitute for diet, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle. After a patient has achieved his/her desirable body weight, there may be areas of fatty tissue that just will not go away. The fat deposits that are ideally treated with liposuction should be discreet, well-defined areas that are out of proportion to the rest of the patient’s fat layer.

Liposuction can be performed on the hips, belly, thighs, buttocks, back, arms, and under the chin or face to improve their shape. Liposuction can also be done with other plastic surgeries, including facelifts, breast reductions, and tummy tucks.

Much like traditional liposuction, SmartLipo is a cosmetic fat-removal procedure that is designed to address stubborn pockets of fat across various parts of the body. With Smartlipo, you’re in the office one day and turning heads the next. Are you ready? It’s time to reshape your body and reshape your life.

SmartLipo body contouring is a minimally invasive, laser-assisted liposuction procedure that is used to treat small areas of fat on the arms, abdomen, buttocks and thighs. This technique shares many of the features of traditional liposuction, however, it can be performed without general anesthesia and utilizes laser energy to break up the fat.

The obese patient who loses a significant amount of weight will usually experience partial or complete resolution of a host of medical problems, such as diabetes and hypertension. Unfortunately, the skin usually fails to contract enough to live up to their cosmetic goals and expectations. The abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, breasts, and neck are common areas of complaint and surgical improvements are almost always possible.

Surgical body contouring following major weight loss removes excess sagging skin and fat while improving the shape of the underlying support tissue. The result is a better-proportioned appearance with smoother contours.

SculpSure’s non-surgical body contouring technology can safely target and destroy fat cells in just 25 minutes without affecting the skin’s surface. There is no recovery time following treatment, so you can resume your daily activities immediately. Most patients need multiple treatments to achieve optimal results.

After the 25-minute treatment and prior to leaving, you will schedule your follow-up appointment. You will then be on your way to resume your day with no restrictions.

It’s really that simple!

Vaginal rejuvenation is a broad term that covers several vaginal corrective procedures. These procedures are meant to correct problems that can occur after giving birth or during the aging process. Conditions can include laxity (lack of tightness) of the vagina, stress urinary incontinence, and lack of lubrication. Most often, the women who seek this treatment are postmenopausal and/or postpartum women. Dr. Wetherington recommends that patients with these problems discuss them with their gynecologists.

Vaginal rejuvenation can improve the shape, size, and function of your vaginal area. These procedures help to restore the soft tissue structures that have succumbed to the aging process. Vaginal rejuvenation is also beneficial for those women who suffer with discomfort and embarrassment due to excess vaginal tissue.

Vaginal rejuvenation includes clitoral hood reduction, labia majoraplasty, monsplasty, vaginoplasty, and labiaplasty, which is the surgical reduction in the size of the labia minora.

The term “mommy makeover” has become synonymous with the surgical management of bodily changes adult women experience as a direct result of pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight gain or loss, age, and menopause. Fortunately, Dr. Marc Wetherington is an expert in helping women reclaim their bodies from earlier days.

For some women, the skin on the abdomen may stretch beyond its ability to bounce back, resulting in droopy, sagging skin and undesirable contour irregularities. Some women may lose the shape and volume of their breasts. Others may complain of pockets of fat in the abdomen, hips, and flanks that are resistant to diet and exercise. The key to a successful mommy makeover is for you to first establish your priorities and decide which areas of her body you want to modify.
