Abdominoplasty | Tummy Tuck
Many patients seek to have a toned, flat abdomen but cannot seem to achieve their goal through diet and exercise alone. Abdominoplasty, more commonly referred to as “Tummy Tuck”, can help tighten and flatten the abdominal area. Through an incision that is hidden in the undergarment line, Dr Rizis tightens the muscles and reduces and/or removes excess fat and skin.
Aesthetic Excision
Growths can be aesthetically unappealing and bothersome to patients. Moles, skin tags and cysts are all forms of growths that can be easily removed by excision. The removal of growths can be done quickly and painlessly and with minimal scarring to restore uniformity on the skin.
Brachioplasty | Arm Lift
Sagging or loose skin can be caused be caused by aging, heredity and weight fluctuations. It is, unfortunately, not correctable by diet and exercise. Arm lift surgery can greatly improve the look of saggy and droopy skin. The skin is tightened through incisions that are hidden in the underarm, the inner part of the arm or the back of the arm, depending on the work to be done.
Brazilian Butt Lift
The Brazilian Butt Lift (or BBL) is one of the most sought-after surgeries. It consists in harvesting fat from areas that have excess like the abdomen, lower-back and thighs. By sculpting these key areas with liposuction, the entire mid-section is re-defined. The harvested fat is filtered and re-injected in the buttock area. The end result is a permanent, more curvy and sexy figure.
Clitoral Hoodectomy
Some women have excess skin that covers the clitoris. This excess tissue is defined as an overhanging clitoral hood and can be caused by a few things such childbirth or aging. It can be uncomfortable during sexual activity and reduce sensitivity. Clitoral hoodectomy resolves these issues by removing the excess skin that surrounds the clitoral node, improving not only the vulva’s appearance but its sensitivity during intercourse.
Fat Harvest and Injection | Fat Transfer
Fat harvesting and injection, or fat transfer, is used to add or restore volume to body tissues using fat that has been taken from the patient’s own body. The “donor area”, often the abdomen, thighs or buttocks, is liposuctioned to extract the fat. The fat is then processed, filtered and re-injected into the designated area of the body.
Gynecomastia
Some men have enlarged or overdeveloped breasts that can be caused by the use of certain drugs, heredity, hormonal fluctuations or obesity. The excess tissue and/or fat can be removed and chest contours can be improved. Through incisions strategically placed on and around the male breast, a combination of tissue excision and liposuction are used to achieve a flatter appearance.
Labiaplasty
Some women experience discomfort from enlarged labia caused by weight gain, childbirth and aging. Whether it be during sexual intercourse, riding a bike or any general irritation, enlarged labia can cause patients to become self-conscious. Labiaplasty can correct these issues by reducing the size of the labia minora (inner lips) and tightening the surrounding skin.
Liposuction
Many patients have excess fat in unwanted areas that cannot be removed by diet and exercise alone. Liposuction, or “lipo”, is a solution for removal of stubborn excess fat. With state of the art devices inserted through small, strategically placed incisions, Dr Rizis can sculpt certain areas of the body to improve body contour and proportion.
Mommy Makeover
Childbearing can take a toll on a woman’s body. The Mommy Makeover is a tailored combination of surgeries such as Breast Lift and/or Augmentation, Abdominoplasty and Liposuction. Each personalized combination is strategically performed to address the body areas affected by pregnancy such as the abdomen, breasts, buttocks, genitalia and waist. Because no two Mommy Makeovers are the same, it is important to consult with Dr Rizis to find the combination that is right for you.
Thigh Lift
Diet and exercise are sometimes not enough to achieve weight loss goals in areas such as the inner thighs. A Thigh Lift may be necessary in order to restore a tighter, more proportionate lower body. The combination of liposuction and excess skin removal are performed through strategically located incisions in the groin.
