Dr. Toohey offers several popular forms of body contouring for those whose goals can’t be met with diet and exercise alone, or who have lost the youthful firmness they once had. He can also help men who have developed visible breasts attain a more masculine body profile. A personal consultation can help you determine how best to refine your physique and give you increased self-confidence.
Liposuction
Diet and exercise are not always enough to give people the figures they want. No matter how hard they try, there may be small areas of fat that won’t go away. Dr. Toohey can use the latest and most effective techniques in liposuction to sculpt those areas and provide the finishing touches.
Standard liposuction is performed under general anesthesia by inserting narrow tubes through very small incisions in the area to be treated, and then suctioning out the fat cells. Depending on the individual patient’s circumstances, Dr. Toohey uses tumescent liposuction or a micro liposculpture tumescent technique, which offers advantages over old style liposuction.
In tumescent liposuction, an anesthetic solution is injected into the area to be treated. This expands fat cells for easier manipulation of the suction tube, reduces bleeding by shrinking blood vessels, and may eliminate the need for general anesthesia.
Abdominoplasty
One of the most popular body contouring procedures is abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck. It can restore a youthful contour to an abdomen left sagging by significant weight loss or multiple pregnancies, and straighten the pelvis to improve posture.
During a tummy tuck, Dr. Toohey will remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. This procedure requires an incision from hip to hip, but it can be located low enough that the resulting scar will be hidden by a moderate bikini bottom. Shorter incision options can be discussed.
In addition to providing a flatter, firmer abdomen, the tightened muscles created by the tummy tuck help straighten the lower torso, improving posture.
Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia Surgery)
Men can develop visible breasts, either because of a condition known as gynecomastia or as a symptom of excess weight. In either case, Dr. Toohey can reduce male breasts to achieve a more typically masculine appearance.
Gynecomastia is a condition in which a man has sufficient glandular tissue to develop a visible breast.
Usually aggressive liposuction flattens the large breast; rarely is skin removed. The small scars created by liposuction can be hidden under the armpit or around the areola.
