Abdominoplasty Phoenix

Men and women who have recently undergone a dramatic weight loss, women who’ve had multiple pregnancies, as well as people who have a difficult time losing weight in their mid-section may be good candidates for Abdominoplasty.

Abdominoplasty, also known as Tummy Tuck, is a procedure in which the excess skin and fat in the mid-section is removed and the muscles of the abdomen are tightened. When the muscles of the abdomen become loose or separated, the abdomen sticks out, but once they have been sutured closer together, the abdomen lies flat. The remaining skin is then closed over the newly flattened abdominal muscles to create a more contoured, flattering mid-section.

Often Abdominoplasty may be done in conjunction with other procedures such as Liposuction, Breast Lift, or Thigh Lift. If you are ready to discuss your options for a more finely contoured waist, contact our office to schedule your confidential consultation.

Phoenix Male Breast Reduction

The condition of overdeveloped breasts in men is more common than you may think. While most men out grow this condition, known as Gynecomastia, some men never do. This condition can have a very negative implant on the self esteem of the men suffering from it. They are often teased and taunted and shy away from any situation in which they may have to remove their shirt. Dr. Malek has helped countless men restore their confidence through Male Breast Reduction surgery.

During a Male Breast Reduction procedure the incision is generally made around the areola and excess skin and glandular tissue is removed. In some cases liposuction may also be used to remove excess fatty tissue. Male Breast Reduction is an extremely successful treatment for gynecomastia’s physical and emotional side effects. A confidential consultation with Dr. Malek will help you decide if male breast reduction surgery is right for you. Contact our office today to schedule your consultation.

Phoenix Eyelid Lift

One of the areas of the face that changes the most as we age is the skin around our eyes. In the most extreme cases, excess skin on the upper eyelid or brow area can even cause the eyes to no longer be in a fully open position. Of course, more common is the sagging of the upper and lower eyelids and creases. In any case, this can cause the appearance of being sleepy or down and as we all know, how we look oftentimes directly effects how we feel.

You could be a good candidate for Blepharoplasty- the big, long, technical term for Eyelid Surgery- if you are in good health, have heavy or dropping eyelids, bags under your eyes, and have a realistic goal. These conditions should be discussed between you and your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon of choice. Once you have found your Surgeon and scheduled your procedure, you should expect it to take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours with a complete recovery time of up to 10 days.

Liposuction Phoenix

Many people, men and women alike, are dissatisfied with an area of their body that has been resistant to the effects of diet and exercise. Genetics can play a large role in where we gain and hold on to weight. If you are in good health, but have localized pockets of fat, you may be a good candidate for Phoenix Liposuction.

Liposuction is a procedure in which tiny incisions are made in the troubled area, and a long, skinny tube, called a cannula, is inserted which vacuums out the excess fat cells. Liposuction can be performed on virtually any area of the body from the face and neck to the arms, stomach, “love handles,” and thighs. Often a Liposuction procedure may be performed in conjunction with other Body Contouring procedures like a Tummy Tuck.
