Our facility near Kansas City offers the following plastic surgery options:
Liposuction Treatment
Liposuction is a versatile procedure that removes fat from targeted treatment areas such as the hips, thighs or abdomen. Please be aware that liposuction should not be used for weight loss. It can, however, be beneficial to patients of healthy weight who would like to spot-treat difficult areas that do not respond to diet or exercise. Please schedule a consultation at our practice in Overland Park near Kansas City. Liposuction may be appropriate for you, but we would like to consult with you first so that you may make an informed decision.
How Liposuction surgery works
The liposuction procedure involves making a small incision, made in the treatment area, through which Dr. Quinn inserts a metal tube called a cannula. The cannula is used to gently suck away the excess fat cells within the treatment area. Once the appropriate amount of fat has been removed, Dr. Quinn closes the incision site.Recovery following liposuction is relatively short, but it may take some time for you to see the final results. As the body adjusts to its new shape, the skin may at first appear loose. However, normally the skin tightens around the new, slimmer figure, and the results are completely natural-looking. It is entirely possible that no one will ever know that you had liposuction at all.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Fat deposits may form in a person's abdomen as we age, and a tummy tuck is a great way to get rid of fat that is unresponsive to diet or exercise. If you want to consult with us about tummy tuck options, visit our Overland Park practice near Kansas City. Tummy tuck surgery leaves a trim contour and creates a remarkable improvement for most of our patients.
How Tummy Tuck surgery works
A tummy tuck is a simple procedure. This incision is made fairly low so that the resulting scar will be as discreet as possible. After the incision is made, Dr. Quinn removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen, shaping a pleasing contour for your new figure. He also tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall to enhance your new, toned appearance. He then closes and bandages the incision. You might be asked to wear a compression garment to minimize swelling and speed your recovery.
