There are many motivations for women to seek out breast augmentation surgery. Some seek a larger cup size so their breasts appear more natural in relation to their frame. Others seek to recover lost breast volume due to childbirth, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss. Others may wish to improve their breast symmetry after having undergone medical procedures that resulted in an unbalanced appearance. Dr. Giancarlo, a board-certified and well regarded plastic surgeon in the Boca Raton area, is pleased to offer an aesthetically pleasing option for your breast augmentation requirements, regardless of your motivation. Variations of Breast Augmentation There are a variety of ways to perform a breast augmentation procedure, which includes differences in implant types, incision locations, and positioning. Implant Types The most common type of breast augmentation implant is made of silicone and is filled with silicone gel. This implant has been given the green light by the FDA and has a reduced rupture rate when compared to other implant types. Silicone implants in a wide range of shapes and levels of firmness. The natural look and feel, as well as the durability, are major selling points for patients. Saline implants have a sterile saltwater solution inside a silicone casing. After the implants have been placed in their intended locations, they will be filled. The incision can be made less invasively as a result. When a saline implant leaks, the body can easily absorb the solution. Saline implants are increasingly obsolete and are only utilized in patients younger than 22. Fat grafting is a method that does not include the use of implants but rather the transfer of fat from another area of the body. To achieve this, fat is removed from the abdomen, hips, or thighs and processed in a device before being injected into the breasts. Although fat grafting is the least risky of the three procedures because of the absence of rejection, the results are the least dramatic. Given fat's inherent capacity to absorb or degrade over time, it's also the least lasting option. Implant Incision Sites Breast augmentation scars can be well concealed by making an incision in the natural crease of the breast. The incision can be reopened for implant revision, and the surgeon has good access to the breasts. An areola incision site is well-hidden by the nipple's darker surrounding skin. Incisions will be more noticeable for the first few months after surgery, and scars take time to mature and diminish. The breasts are spared scars entirely if you choose to do an armpit incision. However, surgeons may be restricted in their implant sizing options due to the increased difficulty of working with this incision site. Implant Positioning Subglandular implantation involves positioning the implant behind the breast gland and above the pectoral muscle. One significant benefit is that the use of the pectoral muscles is not hindered in any way. This procedure is less complicated and more minimally invasive than others. Subpectoral placement involves tucking the breast implant behind the chest's pectoral muscles. The implant is concealed by the muscle and the breast tissue, creating a more natural appearance. Here, the implant is less likely to cause apparent rippling, the skin is under less stress, and blood supply to the nipple is maintained. However, this placement has a longer period of recuperation. Breast Implant Procedure After the patient has been taken into the operating room, she will first be given anesthetic. Breast augmentation surgery is often performed under general anesthesia. An anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist may give this to you. Incisions will be made in discrete, planned sites once anesthetic has been administered. Possible sites for the incisions include the breast crease, the underarm, or the perimeter of the areola. Breast implants will be inserted either behind the breast tissue or under the pectoral muscle. The surgeon will decide where to put the implants based on the size of the implants and the patient's individual breast structure. The patient will be told of the merits and drawbacks of each placement alternative so that she can make an educated decision. After the implants have been positioned correctly, the incisions will be meticulously closed with either temporary or permanent sutures. Incisions will have temporary drain tubes inserted under the skin. The risk of infection can be reduced by following the patient's surgeon's instructions to keep the incision areas clean and dry. Breast Augmentation Recovery Recovery for breast augmentation differs depending on the implant placement (subglandular or subpectoral). With either solution, after your anesthetic has worn off, you will go home wearing a medical compression bra over your incision bandages to help reduce swelling and prevent stress on your stitches.

Having a proportionate body with aesthetic contours are fundamental to obtaining an aesthetic physique. A cosmetic surgeon may make practically any part of the body look better by using liposuction to improve the area into a more desirable form. This can result in significant benefits despite just minor outward changes. During liposuction surgery, excess deposits of fat are removed from a patient's body in order to sculpt an improved form. Although liposuction is most well regarded as a technique for the removal of fat, it is also among the most effective procedures for helping a patient modify their contour. Cosmetic surgeons like Dr. Giancarlo also frequently resort to liposuction in order to perfect the results of other treatments, such as a tummy tuck. This is due to the fact that no other method permits such specific alterations in the body contour. During the process, a cannula, which is a thin, hollow tube, is inserted into areas of excess fat, and your board-certified cosmetic surgeon uses it to carefully and accurately remove the fat. During liposuction, Dr. Giancarlo will drive a cannula into the fatty deposit while using suction. This will help remove any surplus fat cells and sculpt a more toned body contour. Liposuction Procedure Depending on the specifics of the liposuction process, general anesthesia, intravenous sedation, or local anesthesia can be used for an effective surgery that does not require the patient to stay in the hospital. Your cosmetic surgeon will advise you on the type of anesthesia that is best suited to your requirements after assessing them. Dr. Giancarlo will make one or more discrete incisions in the area surrounding the treatment area. These incisions are then used to implant a cannula, through which the fat is extracted using a vacuum. It is possible that the complete process will take less than an hour, but could also take up to or exceeding 2 or 3 hours, depending on the number of locations that need to be treated. Liposuction Results Liposuction has the fortunate effect of permanently removing the fat cells that are removed throughout the procedure. However, your future lifestyle will define your long-term outcomes, as it is always possible to build fat cells once again through poor diet and a lifestyle that is more sedentary. Even if the fat cells are redistributed in a way that is slightly different than before, they still have the ability to undo the effects of the liposuction you had done previously. Liposuction Recovery Recovery for liposuction is largely dependent on the number of regions being treated, as well as the amount of fat removed. In general, the majority of patients will be able to go back to their regular office jobs within the next several days. On the other hand, if your job requires you to move or lift large objects on a regular basis, you might have to wait a few weeks. Liposuction Candidacy A person who is a good candidate for liposuction will have areas of stubborn fat that cannot be reduced with diet or exercise alone. In addition to this, it is recommended that you are within 25 to 30 pounds of your ideal weight. The removal of fat is the primary focus of this surgical procedure, not overall weight reduction. An excessive quantity of liposuction would result in a significant excess of skin, which would require more treatments in the future. Liposuction Consultation If you are within 25-30 pounds of your ideal weight, but are unhappy with your level of body fat or fat distribution, contact Dr. Giancarlo today for a liposuction consultation. We can go over the procedure, address any questions or concerns, and see if liposuction is the ideal solution for your body goals.

The mommy makeover, or Dr. Giancarlo trademarked Mamacita Makeover, utilizes cosmetic surgery to undo the changes a woman's body undergoes during pregnancy and weight loss.. Some lucky new mothers are able to regain their pre-pregnancy bodies through diet and exercise, but for the vast majority of women, pregnancy causes changes that cannot be undone. A tummy tuck can correct problems like separated muscles, loose skin, and stretch marks. breastfeeding can also lead to , loss of breast volum and sagging, so to address this there can be a variety of options to rejuvenate the breasts. To help mothers regain their pre-pregnancy bodies, a Mamacita Makeover combines many standard cosmetic operations. Mamacita Makeover Inclusions A mommy makeover can include a variety of different cosmetic surgery procedures. It all depends on the individual patient’s goals. Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) The BBL, or Brazilian butt lift, has grown in popularity in recent years. The idea is to use fat grafting to move mass to a more desirable location, hence improving butt composition. In order to achieve the desired contours, BBLs frequently mix fat grafting and liposuction. This boosts size while decreasing overall fat content. Future progress can be maintained with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) A flat, toned stomach is a sign of a good physical shape. A tummy tuck, tailored to your specific needs, can permanently alter your abdominal profile for the better. A stomach with an undesirable shape can be corrected during surgery by tightening the abdominal muscles and removing excess, sagging skin. This leaves the abdomen flatter and more toned than before. Breast Augmentation/Lift/Reduction There are many motivations for women to seek out breast surgery. Some seek a larger cup size so their breasts appear more natural in relation to their frame. Others seek to recover lost breast volume due to childbirth, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss. Others may wish to improve their breast symmetry after having undergone medical procedures that resulted in an unbalanced appearance. Regardless of the reasoning, many include breast augmentations in their mamacita makeover packages. The process includes an incision and insertion of implants to improve the overall shape and size of the breasts. Custom Options If you are interested in a mommy makeover, talk to Dr. Giancarlo about these and other surgical options that could potentially be included in your custom solution. Liposuction, brachial lifts, thigh lifts, and plenty of other popular procedures can be discussed in finding the mamacita makeover that is perfect for you. Mamacita Makeover Benefits Most practically, a mamacita makeover allows you to save money by combining treatments. Getting a number of cosmetic procedures done at once will save you money compared to spreading them out over time. You'll also save a ton of time recuperating, which is a nice bonus. If you get each cosmetic treatment done separately, you could be looking at a recovery time of several months. This entails missing work, arranging for relatives and friends to be available to help out, and putting up with the usual discomforts associated with getting back to normal after an illness or surgery. While a mommy makeover will require some time to recover from, it is a permanent option that will have you feeling confident in your new body in no time, and you will only have to deal with a single recovery period. The most obvious advantage of a mommy makeover is the chance to look and feel amazing. A mommy makeover can help you feel like yourself again by giving you a more toned and stretchy figure. The process can not only give you a return to your former self, but can even enhance your pre-pregnancy physique. Other benefits go behind physical appearance. Being a new mother can cause a variety of physical discomforts that don't always disappear once you are able to finally sleep again. Childbirth can have lasting impacts, such as weakened abdominal muscles or the effort to carry excess fat. Getting a mamacita makeover can make you feel and look years younger by relieving chronic discomfort. Mamacita Makeover Recovery The length and intensity of your recovery from a mommy makeover will be determined by the specific treatments you have done. Resuming normal activities after a mommy makeover may just take a few weeks if only minimal liposuction and a mini-abdominoplasty were performed. Total recovery time may take anywhere from three to six months if you go for a combination of a full abdominoplasty, breast augmentation and lift, and a Brazilian butt lift. However, much of the recovery after the first month or so will simply be avoiding overly strenuous activity. It shouldn’t impact your day-to-day activity too much.

A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that helps generate a more aesthetically attractive and athletic overall appearance by tightening and reshaping the abdominal region. This procedure is also known as an abdominoplasty. Your clothing will fit much better and look much better on you if you have a flatter and tighter midsection. This will also make you feel more confident and at ease with your body. Aesthetic stomach issues can be corrected during surgery by tightening the abdominal muscles and removing excess, sagging skin. This leaves the abdomen flatter and more toned than before. Tummy tucks are a common surgical operation for both men and women, especially those whose bodies have experienced significant transformations as a result of substantial weight loss or pregnancy. There are different levels of tummy tucks as well. If you are concerned about a “pooch” in your lower stomach, a mini tummy tuck is a less extensive solution that can help to remove the pooch, flatten the abdominal wall, and restore a smoother appearance to the stomach below the belly button.. If you have issues with overall roundness, excessive skin folds, and an overall appearance of the stomach, a full tummy tuck is likely your solution. This addresses the entirety of the stomach area in order to achieve the flatter look desired. A circumferential tummy tuck is one where the scar goes all the way around the waist to address dropping skin all around the body instead of just the front. A Fleur De Lis tummy tuck is for those patients who have had a significant weight loss and are willing to accept a scar up the center of the abdomen as well as the standard lower incision to get rid of as much skin as possile not only vertically but also horizontally. Abdominoplasty Candidacy Best candidates for a tummy tuck are those that are near their ideal body weight and in good health. If you have recently lost significant weight and your stomach doesn’t quite have that firm look you desire, a tummy tuck is a viable option. Likewise, if your skin and abdominal muscles are sagging and stretched after pregnancy, abdominoplasty can help you achieve a more aesthetic stomach. Abdominoplasty Procedure In order to do an abdominoplasty, an incision must first be made exposing the abdominal muscle. Next, Dr. Giancarlo will tighten the muscles of your stomach by pulling them together and utilizing stitching to position them and obtain an appearance that is more firm and toned. After trimming away any excess skin, the remaining skin is pulled and smoothed in a downward motion in order to get a more taut appearance. During this operation, liposuction may also be used to remove any excess fat that has accumulated. Abdominoplasty Results A tummy tuck is a permanent solution, but the way you live your life going forward could have unintended repercussions. Extreme weight gain can result not only in the accumulation of more fat but also in damage and stretching of the abdominal wall. This is because the abdominal wall's surface area is drastically reduced following the tummy tuck treatment. Because pregnancy can bring about this problem as well, it is advised to put off getting a tummy tuck for the time being if you are planning on getting pregnant in the near future. Abdominoplasty Recovery The recovery time for abdominoplasty is fairly long and somewhat difficult because the procedure is stressful on the body. You will be given a compression garment to wear for a maximum of six weeks during your recovery. You will have limited mobility during this period, and you won't be able to engage in intense exercise or lifting at all. Abdominoplasty Consultation If you believe you are a solid candidate for a tummy tuck, contact Dr. Giancarlo today. We can go over your candidacy, determine whether or not a tummy tuck is the right procedure for your specific cosmetic goals, and help you get on the path to a fitter physique.

A BBL, or Brazilian butt lift, relocates unwanted fat from the stomach, waist, and thighs to the buttocks and/or hips, giving the patient a larger, more rounded posterior. This simple operation is one of the most popular options for body contouring. Patients appreciate the fact that they can simultaneously volumize and contour multiple areas of the body without requiring implants. While exercises like squats can tone the muscles in your buttocks and thighs, they have little effect on the shape of your rear end. This is because genetics play a much larger role in the appearance of your butt. If your derriere is flat and unimpressive, it is not always due to lack of trying. A BBL with Dr. Giancarlo is perfect for those looking to: ● Enhance the overall appearance of the lower body ● Add contouring and shape to the buttocks ● Remove fat from tedious areas such as the belly and transfer it to the backside ● Create a balanced body proportion ● Develop an hourglass physique ● Improve the fit of clothing Schedule a consultation with Dr. Giancarlo if the aforementioned list seems enticing to you. UltraSound guided BBL Procedure A Brazilian butt lift is an outpatient procedure, meaning you can go home after the procedure is successfully completed. In order to increase the viability of the fat cells and the likelihood of their successful implantation into the buttocks, the fat transfer and extraction are performed at the same time. The average time for a BBL, which can be performed under either general or local anesthesia and IV sedation, is between two and four hours. There are two phases of a BBL: liposuction and fat transfer During liposuction, Dr. Giancarlo will remove fat from another part of your body (usually your hips, waist, or thighs). Once the fat has been removed, it will be prepared for injection into the buttocks. To enhance the volume and contour of your buttocks, your surgeon will then inject the processed fat into the buttocks area. Fat is packed into particular locations with the use of a power-assisted cannula to achieve the desired size and form. To ensure the best level of safety, the fat is always injected in the subcutaneous area (above the muscle) undert direct visualization with an ultrasound device. This is to confirm your BBL will be performed as safetly as possible. BBL Recovery In order to get the best possible results from your surgery, your doctor will offer you a detailed recovery plan to follow. Important postoperative care guidelines include staying off your buttocks for 6 weeks. Except while using the restroom and short periods of 30-45 minutes you should stay off the buttocks as much as possible. After the first 2 weeks of recovery, we will instruct you on how to adapt your sitting, lying down, and other activities to ensure a speedy and complete recovery. After having surgery, most patients can go back to work in two weeks, and in eight weeks they can resume the rest of their normal daily activities. If you give yourself plenty of time to relax and take pain medicine as prescribed, you should be able to recover from surgery with minimal discomfort. BBL Consultation If you are interested in a BBL as a means of achieving your desired cosmetic goals, contact Dr. Giancarlo today. We can go over the procedure in its entirety, determine your candidacy, address any concerns or questions you may have, and develop a timeline to meeting your goals as soon as possible.
