LIPOSUCTION
|
| Dr. Bassin
has been performing Liposuction on his gynecological patients since 1995.
At that time, this aspect of cosmetic surgery had been requested by many
patients, and was soon incorporated successfully into the practice. The
gyn-laparoscopic surgeon offers a unique service to our patients because
many out patient surgical procedures, such as sterilization, laparoscopy,
laser surgeries, and vaginal surgeries, can be performed at the same time
and in combination with Liposuction. No additional incisions are needed.
|
| Liposuction
was developed to remove stubborn fat deposits that don't respond to dieting
and exercise. These bulges are most commonly found in the thighs, hips,
abdomen, and buttocks. When considering liposuction, you should understand
that the number of fat cells that we have in our bodies are permanently
set during adolescence. We can never grow new fat cells. |
|
Fat
cells can never re-grow, regenerate or come back!
Liposuction is the permanent removal of fat cells!

Are
you a good candidate?
|
| Liposuction
can enhance the appearance of men and women of all ages while boosting self-esteem.
The best candidates are healthy men and women with good skin elasticity
and realistic expectations. "Realistic" means improvement, not always perfection.
The person should not be too far from their ideal body weight, and also
realize that cellulite will not be cured by liposuction. |
|
How
is it done?
|
| The majority
of patients require and request "the big three" areas to be done. These
are the hips, thighs, and abdomen. To do it well with good results for a
total body contour, a brief outpatient hospital stay is required. A general
anesthesia, administered by an anesthesiologist, is usually utilized to
get the best results. Newer liposuction techniques, called tumescent
liposuction, are used to significantly reduce any bleeding and pain.
This involves injecting the area to be suctioned with a special fluid/anesthesia
combination prior to suctioning. |
|
What
can I expect?
|
| This
procedure is not for obese people, and most people will not lose weight.
It will not replace good eating and exercise habits, but it will remove
unwanted fat deposits in many areas of the body. For most women, these areas
are the hips, thighs, lower abdomen, and flanks. For most men, it is the
upper abdomen and the "rolls" or "tires" on the flanks. |
| This
provides you with a basic understanding of Liposuction. Because it is important
that you understand all the aspects of the procedure, you are invited to
call for a free consultation and evaluation. There is no cost or obligation
to you. I will be more than happy to discuss your individual circumstances
and design an appropriate plan for you. You will be given realistic
expectations of what liposuction can do for you. |

Vaginal
Rejuvenation
|
| We all
know that sexual enjoyment and pleasure are dependent on many factors. However,
physical changes that occur with time should not get in the way because
they can often be corrected. The vaginal walls will lose tone, lose support,
and can cause a decrease in sexual sensitivity during intercourse. These
changes occur with time and are mostly due to a genetic predisposition.
It is not necessarily related to weight gain or the number of children you
may have had or even the delivery circumstances. |
| These
changes can also be responsible for recurrent or, at times, constant urinary
leakage. With time, the bladder loses some of its tone and "leaking" can
be embarrassing socially or can even occur at the time of intercourse. This
can result in a decrease in social activities or even avoiding sex. |
| Vaginal
rejuvenation is a simple outpatient procedure that will help correct the
loss of tone in the vaginal walls. It can: |
- Enhance physical
contact for both sexes.
- Improve sexual
stimulation during intercourse.
- Help improve
libido, without fear of "leaking".
- Correct any
loss of vaginal and/or bladder support.
- Help decrease
socially embarrassing situations.
- Improve self-esteem.
