Liposuction
Liposuction is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures today for both men and women at our practice in the Illinois and Iowa, Quad City area. There are some areas of the body that simply do not respond to diet and exercise. If you are one of the many people whose body collects deposits of fat in certain areas, you could benefit from liposuction. While a healthy diet and proper exercise are the best ways to maintain a shapely body, liposuction can be used for the areas that do not respond to these habits.
Liposuction can be performed to remove unwanted fat from many areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, upper arms, knees, cheeks, and neck. Advancements in liposuction technology allow Dr. Aric Eckhardt to use liposuction more precisely and on a growing number of areas. Liposuction treatment is now safer and more accurate than ever. Recovery time is also greatly reduced with advanced methods.
Liposuction at our Illinois and Iowa, Quad City-area practice utilizes a surgical vacuum to remove fat deposits through small incisions. Depending on the amount of fat removed, the procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, conscious sedation, or general anesthesia.
Although patients who are overweight may benefit from liposuction, the best candidates are those adults at or near their ideal body weight with unwanted areas of subcutaneous fat under firm, elastic skin. The best candidates for liposuction at our Illinois and Iowa, Quad City-area practice are adults in good health who have realistic expectations. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, nor is it a treatment for cellulite.
Liposuction is a wonderful procedure that has changed the lives of millions of men and women around the world. Contact Dr. Aric Eckhardt today to learn how liposuction can help you at his practice in the Illinois and Iowa, Quad City area.
Abdominoplasty - Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery has never been safer or more effective at our Quad City-area practice. Tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, creates a more attractive abdominal area by removing excess skin and fat, as well as tightening the abdominal muscles. Both men and women benefit from tummy tuck procedures at our Quad City-area center. The best candidates are those in good health who are unable to improve upon the abdominal region despite diet and exercise. Tummy tuck surgery is also very popular for women who have had pregnancies or extreme weight loss, which stretches their skin and abdominal muscles. Anyone with excess skin and subcutaneous fat can benefit from the enhancement to both appearance and self-esteem that is achieved through tummy tuck at our Quad City-area center.
Dr. Aric Eckhardt performs each tummy tuck procedure with absolute precision and amazing results. Depending on the amount of correction needed, tummy tuck can be performed under conscious sedation with local anesthesia, regional anesthesia, or under general anesthesia at the Quad City-area practice. The procedure lasts one to two hours for a mini tummy tuck and two to three and a half hours for a full tummy tuck. Surgery may be performed on an outpatient basis or may be followed by a 23-hour stay.
During tummy tuck at our Quad City-area practice, Dr. Eckhardt can remove deposits of fat and excess skin through a strategically placed incision. The abdominal muscles will also be tightened to create a firm abdominal wall and slim waistline. A major issue when considering tummy tuck surgery is scarring. Despite the precise incisions and care provided by an expert surgeon, the nature of this procedure will inevitably leave a scar. However, the scar is strategically placed so it is easily covered with clothing, including your bathing suit.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Eckhardt will discuss the variations available to customize the tummy tuck procedure at our Quad City-area practice to meet your specific needs. You will also share your overall desires and discuss any other concerns you may have. Contact us today to schedule a tummy tuck consultation at our Quad City-area center.
Body Lift Following Bariatric Surgery
A body lift is similar to other surgical lifts, but works on a larger scale to remove excess skin all over the body, including the midsection, thighs, back, arms, and breasts. By removing excess skin and tightening the remaining tissue, a body lift can create a more toned, attractive appearance.
Due to the magnitude of a body lift, some scarring is inevitable. However, with careful placement and surgical precision, Dr. Aric Eckhardt strives to reduce it to an acceptable level. Dr. Eckhardt performs body lift surgery on a regular basis, constantly improving the lives of formerly heavy individuals. Body lift patients now enjoy a truly slimmer body and a heightened level of self-confidence they have never before experienced. Contact Dr. Aric Eckhardt today to find out more about this exciting new procedure!
