Liposuction vs. CoolSculpting | Metro Washington DC Area

Tag Archives: non surgical

Stubborn fat deposits in certain areas of the body can create uneven body contours and compromise the overall appearance. Liposuction is the leading cosmetic surgery procedure to reduce unwanted fat pockets. Thousands of women and men regain more attractive and youthful contours with liposuction every year in the US.
However, not every patient may be ready to undergo a surgical procedure for body contouring. In such cases, where the patient is looking for a non-invasive alternative to liposuction, the plastic surgeon may offer CoolSculpting. It is a revolutionary non-surgical procedure to reduce fat deposits without involving any cuts, incisions or needles.
MBody is a leading aesthetic practice offering liposuction and CoolSculpting to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredricksburg, and surrounding locations.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure involving one or more incisions in the targeted area to remove excess fat tissue. The surgeon will introduce a thin cannula through the incision to dislodge stubborn fat cells. These fats will be suctioned out through a syringe or suction pump attached to the other end of the cannula. After the fat removal, the surgeon will close the incisions with sutures.

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a unique non-invasive fat reduction treatment involving a highly innovative cooling process to reduce unwanted fat cells. The targeted area is exposed to a cold temperature, causing the fat cells to become frozen quickly. These fat cells will gradually die and get removed from the body in the natural metabolic process.
Leading cosmetic surgeons at MBody receive patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredricksburg, and nearby areas for CoolSculpting procedure.

Microblading, commonly known as eyebrow embroidery, is a semi-permanent makeup procedure to improve or fully rebuild lost eyebrows. Unlike plastic surgery or other invasive procedures, microblading is a gentle, non-surgical way to restore natural looking eyebrow appearance.
MBody is a renowned and terrific practice led by board certified plastic surgeons providing microblading and various other cosmetic procedures. Patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredricksburg, and surrounding areas have an opportunity to receive this procedure at MBody.

How is Microblading Performed?

The microblading eyebrow makeup procedure involves the use of a special pen to manually deposit pigment underneath the top layer of the skin in the eyebrow area. Microblading technique draws individual, sharp hair strokes that are more natural looking than an automated procedure. The blade used in microblading is three times thinner than the needles used for tattooing.
Therefore, the procedure is nearly painless when it is performed by an experienced treatment provider. The provider may apply a local numbing solution to minimize discomfort. The color is impacted close to the surface, and crisp strokes of the pen ensure there is no ‘spilling’ under the skin. The procedure does not require the existing brow hair to be shaved off, and does not damage them in any way. The entire procedure is usually completed in less than two hours.
Microblading must be performed at a professional facility where sterile environment can be ensured. The provider must disinfect the targeted area carefully, and make use of disposable pen, blades and micro-brushes. MBody plastic surgery and non-surgical practice receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredricksburg, and nearby communities.

Candidacy

Anyone who is bothered by the thinning hair or loss of hair in the eyebrow area, or simply wants thicker eyebrows for cosmetic reasons may be a good candidate for microblading procedure. People suffering from alopecia, trigonometrical, or any other condition that causes hair loss can ideally benefit from this procedure.
People with all kinds of original eyebrow color may make equally good candidates for microblading. The pigments used in this technique are formulated to match with the patient’s original eyebrow color. Therefore, if eyebrows are partially present, the new hair strokes will blend naturally into them. The right color and shape to fit the face will be decided prior to the procedure in consultation with the patient.

Results

Most patients will be able to achieve a fuller, flawless natural looking eyebrow. The brows will initial appear darker, but will fade considerably over a period of next two weeks. It is usually recommended to have a touch up done because it is difficult to predict how well the skin may retain the pigment.
Results will usually last for about one year, and may even sustain up to 18 months in some cases. An annual touch up procedure will help to retain the shape and saturation of the pigment. No downtime is involved in this procedure.

Rhinoplasty ranks among the top five most popular plastic surgery procedures in the US. While the surgery can be performed in less than two hours in the operating room, it will take some time to recover and see the final results. Patients should note that recovery is an important part of the treatment process and must not be taken lightly.
MBody is a premier practice led by board certified plastic surgeons providing rhinoplasty and various other procedures. The practice receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredricksburg, and surrounding locations.

Recovery Planning

Some advance planning prior to the recovery stage can ensure more comfort for the patient, and they can focus completely on their recovery. Patient should take the following steps in advance for a quicker and easier recovery after rhinoplasty plastic surgery:

Arrange for a friend or family member to drive the patient home after the procedure.
If the patient has little kids, arrange for help for a few days or have someone to assist the patient at home.
Working individuals should apply for at least one week off from work and another week with restricted movements.
Keep a supply of cold compresses at home to minimize post-operative swelling.
Any important household tasks or work responsibilities should preferably be completed before the surgery.

Instructions for Recovery

It is important that the patient should follow the post-op instructions of the plastic surgeon as diligently as possible. This will help to ensure a safer and faster recovery. Pain and discomfort during recovery can be cut down with the following measures:

Stay hydrated and drink plenty of fluids through the day
Use cold compresses several times a day to reduce swelling
Take adequate rest during the first week, but perform short walks and light activities at home
Refrain from lifting heavy weights or doing any strenuous activities for at least two weeks
If any abnormal symptoms such as fever, pus in the wounds, severe pain in the incision area or excessive swelling are noticed, contact the surgeon immediately

First Week after Surgery

Bruising, swelling, headaches and nosebleeds may occur in the first two to three days. The surgeon will prescribe pain relievers for the first week. The first day after surgery, the patient should rest with the head in an elevated position. Blowing the nose should be avoided for the first two to three days.
MBody receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredricksburg, and nearby areas for rhinoplasty.

New Few Weeks

After the first week, the first follow-up appointment will take place to monitor healing and to remove the nasal packing and sutures. Bruising will disappear by the second week, and swelling will begin to subside. Patients can usually return to work in the second week. Vigorous exercises should be avoided for at least two to four weeks to allow for complete healing.

A wide range of plastic surgery as well as non-surgical aesthetic procedures are available today to rejuvenate a person’s appearance. Dramatic advancements have also been made in the field of hair restoration. While hair transplant surgery is a major treatment option, a few highly innovative non-surgical treatments have also shown very promising results.
MBody is a well-known practice led by board certified plastic surgeons, which provides cutting edge non-surgical hair restoration procedures. MBody provides these procedures to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredricksburg, and surrounding communities.

ACell™ Hair Restoration

ACell™ is a unique cellular regeneration treatment that supports the body’s natural wound healing process. When this treatment is combined with the patient’s own cells to achieve hair re-growth, the results can be very positive. Highly encouraging results for hair restoration have been achieved when ACell is performed along with platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy.
A combination of ACell™ and PRP is injected into the affected areas of the scalp to promote natural hair re-growth. The treatment can lead to miniaturized hair follicles becoming robust and larger in size. ACell™ activates the progenitor cells, while PRP growth factors promote localized cell growth and rapid angiogenesis. This FDA-cleared procedure is equally effective for both male and female pattern hair loss.
Non-hereditary hair loss conditions, alopecia areata, and eyebrow hypotrichosis can also be addressed with this treatment. MBody provides both plastic surgery and non-surgical procedures to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredricksburg, and nearby areas.

MatriStem Technology
ACell™ treatment is based on the cutting edge MatriStem technology. Unlike other techniques, MatriStem fundamentally improves healing by setting off new blood vessels and involving multiple cell types at the injury site. During the healing process, the scaffold is degraded and completed resorbed. This leaves the new tissue where typically the scar tissue would occur.

PRP Therapy

PRP therapy can also be used as a standalone treatment to support hair restoration. This simple, non-surgical procedure can be performed in-office, without involving general anesthesia. Post-operative downtime is minimal or non-existent. To perform the PRP procedure, the treatment expert will draw the patient’s blood using standard techniques. The blood will be sent through a centrifugal process to separate the platelets from other plasma components.
Platelet activators and other vital growth proteins may be added to the PRP before it is applied to the scalp. The provider will apply a local anesthetic, and use a micro-needling roller device to stimulate the dermis of the targeted area. Micro injuries created to the surface of the scalp will trigger the body’s natural wound healing mechanism and prepare the body for PRP. Thereafter, the PRP will be delivered to the affected areas of the scalp using injections or topical application.
The patient will be able to notice visible improvement in hair growth and thickness in the first two to six months. Thereafter, PRP injections may be scheduled every three to nine months to achieve optimal hair re-growth.

Following a Brazilian butt lift plastic surgery, it is important to allow time for the tissue and skin to heal properly and establish desirable results. The patient will be required to visit the surgeon for follow-up appointments and adhere to their recovery instructions to ensure safe and timely recovery.

MBody’s board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin provide Brazilian butt lift and various other procedures of the breast, body, and face to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and nearby locations.

Immediate Post-Operative Phase

If the Brazilian butt lift plastic surgery has been performed using general anesthesia, the patient may feel mild discomfort and grogginess for a few hours. The buttock region will have bruises and swelling from surgery. After a few hours of monitoring, the patient will allowed to leave for home accompanied by someone to drive them back.
The patient should properly learn how to sit or lie down without exerting too much pressure on the buttocks. After the Brazilian butt lift, the transferred fat should be allowed to integrate well with the original tissue. Pillows may be used under the thighs to sit without causing any disruption to the treated areas.

First Week

Painkillers and antibiotics may be required as prescribed by the plastic surgeon for the first few days. In a few cases, anticoagulants may also be prescribed to prevent blood clotting. The patient should rest adequately in an appropriate position in the first week, wear compression garment at all times, keep hydrated, and perform light walks after the first one or two days to stay active.
It may be a fabulous idea to have someone to stay with the patient for assistance in the first two or three days. Most patients will need to take time off from work in the first week. MBody receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and nearby areas for Brazilian butt lift.

Following Weeks

After the first week, the patient will be required to visit the surgeon’s office for a review of the healing progress and removal of drains and stitches. Depending on the healing status, the patient may be able to return to work after the first week. However, heavy lifting of weights and very demanding physical activities should be eschewed for about three to four weeks, both at home and the workplace.
Some surgeons may recommend the patient to have daily massage to restore quicker blood circulation and expedite recovery. Many patients may be able to travel or drive after the first week.

Results

In about two to six months following the Brazilian butt lift, most of the inflammation and discoloration in the treated area would have disappeared. Patients are generally fully healed at this stage. In about one year, the fat tissue transfer should have settled and the patient can enjoy the full results of the procedure.

Financial Factors

The extent of Brazilian butt lift plastic surgery will impact the overall dollar amount. If significant amounts of fat removal from multiple sites is involved, and the patient also needs enhanced contours in the donor sites via liposuction, the cost may be a little higher compared to minor volume enhancement in the buttocks.
The skills and experience of the plastic surgeon may determine the fee charged by them. Highly qualified surgeons may cost a little more upfront, but it will produce long term benefits in terms of aesthetics, lower risk of complications and reduced chances of revision procedures in the future.
Regional cost of living differences can influence the cost of a Brazilian butt procedure. Some patients may prefer to travel to distant location to work with a surgeon of their choice, in which case travel and stay expenses should be added to the cost estimate.
The type of anesthesia used and the choice of the surgical facility will also make a difference to the overall costs. If the procedure is performed using general anesthesia or IV sedation, it will involve the fee of the anesthesiologist or sedation expert. Surgeries performed at a hospital will usually monetary amount a lot more as compared to the procedures at an ambulatory surgical center or private surgical suite.

Costs of Recovery

The patient may require pain medications as well as antibiotics during the initial recovery period. Prescription medication expenditures should be included in the overall dollar cost estimate. Compression garments may have to be purchased to support healing after Brazilian butt lift. If the patient experiences any complications during recovery, costs may be involved to treat them.
Post-operative visits to the surgeon’s office may also come at an extra price in some cases. MBody receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and nearby areas for Brazilian butt lift.

Insurance Coverage

The health insurer will generally not cover the price tag of a Brazilian butt lift cosmetic procedure. However, in a few cases, if the patient is suffering medical issues such as skin infection due to loose skin in the buttocks, a portion of the costs may be covered by the insurer.

Payment

Brazilian butt lift can become more affordable if the patient gets the procedure financed through a professional lender such as a medical care financing company.

Brazilian butt lift plastic surgery is designed to enhance the size or shape of the buttocks and provide a subtle lift and volume to the sagging tissue. The procedure can be tailored to meet the unique aesthetic needs of a patient. The key difference from a traditional butt lift is that a Brazilian butt lift is relatively less invasive and involves smaller incisions.
MBody’s board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin provide Brazilian butt lift and various other procedures to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and surrounding communities.

Candidacy

Individuals who need to augment buttocks by adding volume to the backside rather than removing excess tissue are more appropriate candidates for a Brazilian butt lift plastic surgery. The candidate should have surplus fat tissue available in other areas of the body so that the surgeon may use it for fat transfer during Brazilian butt lift. Ideal candidates will have adequate excess fat deposits and reasonably elastic skin. If the skin sags excessively, a traditional butt lift may have to be performed first.

Procedure

As a first step, the plastic surgeon will remove excess fat from one or more targeted areas using liposuction technique. A minor incision will be made in the area to remove excess fat via a thin cannula. Liposuction may be assisted by lasers, ultrasound or other techniques to dissolve fat deposits before aspirating them. In many cases, liposuction may be performed using local anesthesia only.
Once the required amount of fat cells is removed, it will be purified with the help of a centrifugal process. The best quality tissue will separated for transferring to the buttocks through injections with slender cannulas. The fat will be transferred at multiple depths for a more natural appearance and feel.
The depth, number, and volume of injections will depend on the technique chosen by the surgeon, but in many cases, more realistic results are achieved with a higher number of smaller injections. The fat transfer procedure may also be performed using local anesthesia in many cases.
The entire procedure can be completed in about two hours. Mbody receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and nearby areas for Brazilian butt lift and other procedures.

Advantages

Some of the key advantages of a Brazilian butt lift that make it a more popular surgery include:

Risk of rejection is reduced as compared to implants and filler injections.
Results are more natural looking.
Liposuction can provide improved contours in donor sites.
Recovery is shorter and easier because the procedure is less invasive than a traditional butt lift.

Recovery

Initial healing of the skin and tissue in the treated areas will take about a week to 10 days. Patients can perform mild activity or light walking during this period. Strenuous activities should be avoided for about three to four weeks. It may take several months for full Brazilian butt lift shape to stabilize.

Liposuction body contouring procedure ranks on the very top of the list of most popular plastic surgery procedures in the US. For more than three decades, liposuction surgeons have provided attractive and youthful looking body contours to women and men suffering from stubborn fat pockets in certain areas of the body. Liposuction techniques over the years have become less invasive and more targeted.
Customization is one of the important benefits of liposuction. It can be tailored to suit the unique anatomical and aesthetic needs of a patient. The procedure can be performed independently or in conjunction with other surgeries. Board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin provide liposuction to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and surrounding locations.

Innovative Techniques

A number of innovative and advanced techniques are used today to perform liposuction plastic surgery.

Traditional Liposuction
Traditional liposuction may be recommended when the patient needs to remove significant amounts of fat in one or more areas. The surgeon will physically manipulate the targeted fat tissue using a slim cannula, which is inserted through an incision placed discreetly. The unwanted fat cells will be dislodged and then removed through a suction pump attached to the other end of the cannula.

Tumescent Liposuction
Tumescent technique is highly popular today because it involves smaller incisions, making the procedure less invasive and less complicated. The surgeon will apply a liberal volume of anesthetic solution through the incision to cause swelling of the targeted fat cells. The cells are then isolated and removed more easily. Bleeding risk is minimal with this technique, and it only requires local anesthesia. Less pain and less downtime are involved in tumescent liposuction.

Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction
Ultrasound technology is used by some plastic surgeons to perform liposuction in a less invasive manner. Ultrasound energy will generate controlled heat, causing the fat cells to liquefy. This will make it easier to suction larger and denser fat tissue. MBody receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and nearby areas for liposuction.

Laser-Assisted Liposuction
Laser technology is applied in several surgical and non-surgical aesthetic procedures to create less invasive and more precise outcomes. Laser-assisted liposuction can help to achieve safer results in sensitive areas such as the cheeks, chin, neck, jowls, and arms.

Abdominal Etching

Of late, an innovative liposuction technique called abdominal etching has become popular. This procedure is designed to enhance the appearance of abdominal muscles, and create an attractive ‘six pack’ look. The muscles are outlined and layered up with a thin film of fat to obscure the muscles and reveal a chiseled look.

Recovery and Results

Liposuction may involve downtime ranging from five to 10 days, depending on the amount of fat removed and the number of areas treated. Initial pain and soreness in the incision areas can be treated with pain medications. Results of liposuction will establish gradually, and will be sustainable for the long term provided the patient maintains a terrific diet and exercise routine.
