Coolsculpting

The FDA cleared CoolSculpting in 2010 as an aesthetic fat reduction procedure. Ever since then, CoolSculpting has continued to reign has one of the most popular body contouring treatments for people who want to avoid liposuction plastic surgery.

Scientists at Harvard developed the unique cooling technique of this procedure once they discovered that fat cells respond more quickly to cold temperatures than other healthy cells. This principle works for CoolSculpting, which selectively freezes and eliminates fat cells to create a sculpted figure.
During the initial consultation, the CoolSculpting treatment provider will discuss all aspects of the procedure, including the estimated recovery.

The poignant and tremendous Modern Body Contouring & Laser Center, led by board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin, provides CoolSculpting to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and other communities and suburbs in this section of the nation.
 

No Post-Treatment Downtime

CoolSculpting has continued to be a fat reduction treatment of choice for people who want to avoid plastic surgery because the procedure is completely non-invasive. No specific recovery process or post-treatment downtime is technically involved in this procedure. Patients can simply go back to their normal work routine following a CoolSculpting treatment session, which may last for about 45 minutes to an hour.
The patient can eat or drink anything immediately after the treatment, and no movement restrictions are imposed. Many patients even return to their regular exercise regimen the next day of the CoolSculpting procedure. Busy moms and working individuals particularly prefer CoolSculpting because it allows them to return to their busy routine quickly.

Post-Treatment Experience

Although no specific downtime or recovery process will be involved in CoolSculpting for most patients, it can result in mild and transient side effects in some cases. Just after the treatment, a patient may feel some stiffness in the treated tissue areas. Temporary redness may occur once the applicators are removed after the procedure.   
In a few instances, patients report of minor bruising and tenderness in the treated tissue because of the vacuum pressure involved in fat reduction. However, no specific treatment is usually needed, and these symptoms will resolve in a few days to a few weeks. The treated sites may have a dull sensation for some time, which is a normal occurrence.
On the day of the treatment, some patients may experience a sensation of cramping, tingling or stinging in the treated areas. Patients should be prepared for such transient side effects and be aware that they may experience slight discomfort and numbness for some time. With reasonable expectations, patients can usually manage the symptoms comfortably.
 

Post-Treatment Care

CoolSculpting is not a replacement for exercise and diet. This does not give any patient the green light to indulge themselves in bags of potato chips, carrot cake, cans of soda, one pumpkin pie slice after another, full plates of pasta, for example, and so forth. If you do this, expect to gain that weight back and then some. Moreover, the patient should have to commitment to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle after the treatment to enjoy the results of CoolSculpting for a long time.

LITTLE Lipo In-Office Liposuction at MBody

“LITTLE” stands for:  
L = Local anesthetic, low downtime
I = In-office
T = Tumescent
T = Technique
L = Liposuction
E = External Radiofrequency

• As effective as laser lipo and ultrasonic lipo techniques
• Minimally invasive procedure, involving minimal risk
• Minimal recovery time, typically two to three days

• Inconspicuous and small incisions (typically ¼ inch)
• Avoids the risk of general anesthesia
• Natural looking results, ensuring discreetness and privacy

Areas Treated

LITTLE Lipo at MBody liposuction center is ideal for women and men seeing to slim down unwanted curves by targeting the build-up of excess fatty tissue in the following areas:

• Abdomen: including love handles, muffin tops, and other undesirable bulges
• Legs: saddlebags, banana rolls, inner thighs, and hips
• Double chin or excess neck fat
• Upper arms
• Lower back fat, flanks, and bra fat areas

At sparkling and renowned MBody liposuction center, this minimally invasive LITTLE Lipo procedure will only be performed one of the two amazing and successful plastic surgeons, Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin, both of whom are board certified in plastic surgery from the ABPS.
 

Procedure

Similar to traditional liposuction, LITTLE Lipo technique is designed to suction out excess fatty tissue from the targeted areas of the body using a thin cannula. In this technique, the surgeon will only use a very fine cannula, typically only 3 mm in diameter and no greater than 5mm in diameter.
This helps ensure that very small incisions can be used to insert the cannula into the deeper fat layers. At the beginning of the procedure, the skin and fatty tissue are numbed with a saline solution that includes lidocaine, a powerful local anesthetic. This tumescent solution will not only numb the area, but also make it easier to selectively remove the fat cells with minimal trauma.
The result is a safer and more comfortable procedure with reduced side effects and a short recovery period. Patients often need only a weekend to return to their normal routine. Experienced plastic surgeons at MBody receive patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and other areas in this region of the Mother of States for liposuction.

Although blepharoplasty is a relatively minor plastic surgery procedure, it assumes more significance because it involves a delicate organ such as the eyes. Any surgery related to the eye area should ideally be performed by a fully trained and experienced surgeon to ensure safe and predictable outcomes.

Dr. Burton Sundin

The hard working and perspicacious Dr. Sundin is fully qualified and experienced plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). He has completed multiple advanced fellowships in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. During his cosmetic surgery fellowship training, Dr. Sundin was honored with a faculty appointment as an Instructor at the UAB School of Medicine.
 

Dr. Reps Sundin

The accomplished and fabulous Dr. Sundin also has a board certification from the ABPS. He completed an Aesthetic Surgery Fellowship at the leading Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital, in association with the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery at New York University Medical Center.

Why Choose an ABPS Board Certified Surgeon?

ABPS is the most prestigious plastic surgery board of certification in the US, and the only board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. A rigorous selection process is performed before a surgeon is awarded this certification. Maintaining the certification requires a long-term commitment to upholding the standards of care prescribed by the board.
ABPS board certified plastic surgeons typically invest in high quality standards and best practices, adopt cutting edge surgical techniques and technology, pursue continuing education, and follow the latest safety protocols. This allows them to deliver the best possible outcomes for their patients in every single surgical or non-surgical aesthetic procedure.
 

Customized Eyelid Lift Surgery

The surgeon at MBody will not adopt an off the rack or one size fits all approach to any cosmetic procedure. Each patient has a unique facial anatomy and individualized cosmetic goals about their eyes and upper face. Therefore, the surgeon can create best possible outcomes only when they create a customized eyelid surgery plan matching to the patient’s needs.
This approach will allow the surgeon to produce more desirable results in a less invasive and targeted manner, and bring higher patient satisfaction levels. Whether a patient requires only a minor enhancement in the lower or upper lids, or a significant correction of droopy eyelids, the surgeon would be able to provide the most conservative yet desirable and sustainable results.
 

Minimal Scarring

The plastic surgeon at MBody will create the incisions in inconspicuous locations, such as the natural creases and natural eye contours, where they are easily camouflaged around the eyelids.
The terrific and precise MBody receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and cities and suburbs along this region of the east coast for eyelid surgery.

At the time of pre-operative consultation for eyelid plastic surgery, the patient will have an adequate opportunity to ask questions and clear any doubts or concerns about the procedure as well as the surgeon’s practice. A committed surgeon will provide sincere and comprehensive answers to the questions to help the patient make an informed choice.
The patient should preferably create a list of questions in advance and carry the list to the surgeon’s office for the initial consultation.

Modern Body Contouring & Laser Center, led by perspicacious, awesome, and board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin, provides bleopharoplasty to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and other neighborhoods and suburbs in this area of the northeast.
 

Are you an ABPS Board Certified Plastic Surgeon?

Eyelid surgery is a sensitive procedure, which should be performed only by a fully trained and experienced surgeon. Patients should ideally choose a surgeon who is board certified in plastic surgery from the prestigious American Board of Plastic Surgery. These surgeons would have undergone a minimum of three to five years of medical training, including at least two years exclusively in the area of plastic surgery.
 

Have you previous performed blepharoplasty or other facial surgeries?

Some surgeons may have the necessary experience in procedures related to the body and breast, but may not be equipped to perform an upper face procedure such as eyelid lift surgery. It would be preferable to choose a surgeon who has good understanding of the facial and eye anatomy, and has performed facial and eyelid procedures in the past.
These surgeons will be better placed to handle unexpected situations in the surgery room and produce safe and natural looking results in every case.
 

Which surgical venue would you recommend for my eyelid surgery procedure?

An eyelid lift surgery may be at a hospital, an accredited surgery center, or a private surgical suite. Each option will have its own advantages and limitations as well as have different costs associated with it. The patient should also ask whether the surgeon is affiliated to one of the local hospitals so that they can have hospital access in the unlikely event of an emergency.
 

Would you use general or local anesthesia to perform my surgery?

The plastic surgeon may decide to perform eyelid surgery using general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The patient should also know whether anesthesia would be performed by an anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist, and whether they would remain present in the surgery room throughout the procedure to monitor the patient’s response.
 

How much will the eyelid lift surgery cost me?

Both lower and upper eyelid lift surgery procedures are typically performed for cosmetic reasons, and the patient will have to pay out of pocket for it. But in some cases, if the patient suffers from partial vision obstruction due to drooping upper lids, insurance coverage for the procedure may be possible.
The committed and astute MBody receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and other communities and neighborhoods in this region of the country for blepharoplasty.

Some degree of pre-surgical preparation is required for any plastic surgery procedure such as blepharoplasty. A well-prepared patient will usually feel more confident about the procedure, and achieve better results. During the initial consultation, the surgeon will provide some guidelines to the patient about the preparation process.
Modern Body Contouring & Laser Center, led by board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin, provides eyelid surgery and other cosmetic and reconstructive procedures for the breast, body and face. Patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and surrounding communities have an opportunity to receive eyelid surgery at MBody.
 

Weeks Prior to the Surgery

If the patient is a smoker, they will be required to quit the habit for at least a time period specified by the surgeon prior to the blepharoplasty. The patient should ideally minimize alcohol consumption too for a few weeks prior to eyelid lift plastic surgery. Smoking, in particular, must be avoided because the nicotine can restrict the flow of oxygen in the blood and delay the healing process.
If the patient is taking nutritional and herbal supplements, such as vitamin E or ginseng, the surgeon may require them to stop their use for some days. If the patient is taking blood thinners such as aspirin and NSAIDs, they will be instructed to stop these too for a while. These drugs can increase the bleeding risks during the surgery.
In a few cases, the schedule of prescription medications may also be adjusted in consultation with the doctor. The doctor may sometimes recommend safer alternatives for certain drugs and supplements. Salient and successful MBody receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and nearby areas across the landscape for eyelid lift.
 

Pre-Operative Arrangements

The plastic surgeon or their staff will advise the patient to make a few simple arrangements prior to the eyelid surgery in order to help ensure a more comfortable recovery. Patients may ideally stock up the following items at home in advance:

• Clean washcloths
• Clean bowl for cold water
• Ice cubes
• Plastic bags for ice packs
• Bottle of artificial tears
• Sterile gauze pads
• Extra pillows to keep the head raised
• Groceries for a few days

The patient should make an arrangement for a responsible driver to take them back home after the surgery. If needed, they may also arrange for aftercare for a few days to have an easier recovery. On the night before the surgery, the patient should sleep well. If the surgery involves general anesthesia, the patient should avoid eating or drinking anything for eight hours prior to the scheduled surgery time.
 

The Day of Surgery

A few simple tips may be followed on the day of the surgery:

• Thoroughly wash the hair and eyebrows
• Avoid wearing any makeup or cosmetics
• Do not wear jewelry, piercings, false eyelashes, or contact lenses to the surgery center
• Wear loose fitting, comfortable clothes

Any vital prescription medications on the morning of the surgery may be taken in consultation with the surgeon.
