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.

Brachioplasty – Phoenix
We’ve all seen it and we’ve all dreaded it, but unfortunately the excess arm fat and sagging skin in our under arm area is immune not only to our dread, but occasionally, in some people, immune to diet and exercise as well. Everyone is predisposed to gain and retain weight in different areas of the body. For some it is in the middle, back or top and for most it’s not just in one area.
For some the only way to resolve this issue is by permanently removing some of those fat cells in that area through Brachioplasty or arm lift. Another reason people choose to have an arm lift is after extensive weight loss when the skin has not kept up with the change in your body and thus is left hanging. In these cases the arm lift is generally done along with other body lifts such as tummy tucks, thighs lifts, buttock lift, and facelift.

Phoenix Rhytidectomy – Face Lift
Phoenix area, board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Marc Malek, offers several facial rejuvenation procedures, but one of the most popular is the face lift procedure.

Breast Lift Phoenix
Women of all ages may opt for a breast lift procedure for various reasons. Pregnancy and nursing, changes in weight, genetics and gravity all play a part in weighing the breasts down. For women who are dissatisfied with the drooping of the breasts, a breast lift procedure may be all they need to create the firmer, for youthful breasts they desire. However, for some women who feel their breasts have ‘deflated’ after nursing or who have never been fully satisfied with the size of their breasts, a breast augmentation couple with a breast lift procedure may be the best way to achieve the results desired.
In a breast lift surgery the incision is generally made around the areola area and excess skin will be removed. The areola may be re-positioned, re-shaped or re-sized as need to better correspond with the breasts new position. The remaining skin will be closed around the areola area creating perkier, firmer and more youthful looking breasts. Gauze and bandages will be placed and a compression garment will likely be recommended to be worn to keep swelling down and to help support you while you recover

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.
Brow Lift Phoenix
Our faces are communicating things to other people constantly, even when we aren’t aware of it. The lines of our faces tell a story about how we are feeling and this is why it is so important that our faces are telling the trust story about how we are feeling. This is the reasons many men and women opt for a Brow Lift procedure.
The face, particularly the forehead and the area around the eyes, is often one of the first places we begin to show signs of aging. As these creases and wrinkles form it can make us appear more angry, upset or tired than we actually are. Often the brow can become heavy and hang low over the eyes. Theses are all issues that Brow Lift surgery can address to help restore a more youthful, relaxed, alert, and natural appearance.

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.
