Plastic surgery in Chicago encompasses a wide array of procedures that can improve the appearance of both men and women.
Procedures to Improve the Look of Breasts
Breast surgery is a famous group of procedures. While most patients are women, men with a condition called gynecomastia, which results in excessive breast development, can undergo breast reduction to give them a more masculine profile. Women may also undergo breast reduction, and many also opt for breast augmentation or breast lift procedures.
A breast lift or mastopexy is a procedure done to correct sagging breasts. It can be done on its own or in conjunction with breast augmentation. A breast lift is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. It usually takes around three hours. The exact technique used will depend on the size of the patient’s breasts and how much they are sagging.
Mommy Makeovers After Childbirth
A mommy makeover is a collection of procedures done to restore a mother’s body to its pre-pregnancy condition. Pregnancy can cause such unwelcome changes as a sagging abdomen caused by muscles and skin that were stretched out during pregnancy and have not reverted to their original condition. Women may also find they have sagging breasts, stretch marks, fat deposits, and unwanted hair after giving birth.
Since different women have different issues, the mommy makeover is tailored to meet the patient’s needs and wants. It can include both surgical and nonsurgical procedures. Surgical procedures commonly done during a mommy makeover include:
Abdominoplasty
Breast surgery
Rejuvenation of the labia or vagina
Liposuction
Nonsurgical procedures used during a mommy makeover can include:
Non-invasive fat reduction procedures like CoolSculpt or Sculpsure
Skin tightening using radiofrequency energy
Dermal fillers like Juvederm or Belotero Balance
Chemical peels
