Expertise in Lipo360: Sculpting Your Ideal Contours
Dr. Smith is a master of Lipo360, having honed an advanced technique that brings body sculpting to the next level. Liposuction isn't simply about fat removal but is carefully designed to create a beautiful silhouette that suits your aesthetic goals. Dr. Smith incorporates his expertise in VASER liposuction, a minimally invasive technique that uses ultrasound waves to gently liquefy fat cells before removal and tighten deep tissue. This allows for targeted fat removal and promotes smooth and predictable results. Furthermore, when appropriate, Dr. Smith complements Lipo360 with BodyTite, an innovative radiofrequency technology that tightens skin while fat is removed. This combined approach ensures that patients achieve sculpted curves and a tighter, more youthful appearance. With precise artistry and deep knowledge of the body's underlying structures, Dr. Smith delivers natural-looking curves and exceptional definition, ensuring a sculpted physique that flatters your unique form.

post hysterectomy scar repair
Tummy TuckMember Response:
Hi - thank you for your question. Those lips of skin can be very frustrating! The good news is that they are very straightforward to correct. I generally recommend waiting about a year after an initial surgery to re-operate on the same area, so you are all set whenever you feel ready.
No definition in neck
LiposuctionMember Response:
Hi Stephanie - thank you for your question. Your issue is most likely caused by excess soft tissue relative to the amount of structural support it has. Soft tissue includes things like skin, fat and muscle. Bone (in this case your lower jaw, or "mandible") provides support for this soft tissue. Whether you have too much soft tissue or too little boney support can only be determined in an in-person consultation. If too much soft tissue is the issue, the question becomes "what kind of tissue is there too much of." If fat, liposuction is the answer. If skin or muscle, a necklift may be appropriate. If your boney support is insufficient, a chin implant might be appropriate. Of course, these procedures can be combined as necessary based on your individual anatomy. I hope this helps! - Dr. Smith
Lower abdomen protrusion... has anyone seen this before???
Tummy TuckMember Response:
Hi Lauren, thank you for your question. There are several possible causes for your lower abdominal bulge. These could include: fat distribution, a hernia, weakening of the tissue between your rectus abdominus muscles (rectus diastasis) or an intra-abdominal mass. While we can't provide a definite answer without knowing the specifics of your history or doing a physical exam, you can do an easy test on your own. If the bulge is easily pinched, it is most likely superficial fat. If not, it is likely a deeper issue. The most likely would probably be a rectus diastasis. While these separations between the six-pack muscles are most common after pregnancy, they can also be genetic. You should see a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person consultation to get a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan. - Drs. Alan Matarasso & Darren Smith.
Age requirements
Aesthetic Genital Plastic SurgeryMember Response:
Hi, thanks for your question. In general, one must be 18 years to consent to a medical or surgical procedure. There are many different types of vaginal rejuvenation procedures, and it is unlikely someone of this age would need true “rejuvenation.” However, other vaginal procedures, such as to treat discomfort or other issues, may be appropriate.

inverted nipple

Mommy makeover
Mommy MakeoverMember Response:
Hi- thank you for your question. While it is safe to combine some body contouring procedures, the key in ensuring safety is limiting operative time. The combination you are describing would likely take more time than would be safe. As a next step, consider meeting with an ASPS member-surgeon in your area that specializes in combining body contouring procedures.
