Chicago
cosmetic surgery
describes a multitude of procedures that can be done on virtually any
part of the body. The procedures help the patient look younger and
fitter.
What
Does A Facelift Involve?
A
facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure done on both the face and
neck. It corrects problems like wrinkles, sagging skin, and sunken
cheeks. There are several different techniques, and the surgeon may
use a scalpel, laser, or electrocautery. They will also stitch the
facial muscles together to reduce sagging, and they may use fat
transfers to add volume to places like the cheeks or lips.
A
facelift usually takes about an hour. The surgeon will administer a
local anesthetic paired with a sedative to keep the patient
comfortable.
If the patient is nervous about undergoing
surgery, the doctor can offer non-surgical alternatives like a
vampire facelift, liquid facelift, laser treatments, or Ultherapy.
What
Happens During Breast Augmentation?
In breast augmentation, the surgeon may use fat transfers or implants. If they are using fat transfers, they will perform liposuction to remove fat from somewhere like the abdomen where the patient has too much. After purifying the fat, the doctor will inject it into the patient’s breasts. Most patients are given general anesthesia, but some choose a local anesthetic.
When performing implant surgery, the doctor will usually use saline implants. Implant surgery is an outpatient procedure that usually takes around an hour. The patient will be put under general anesthesia.
Are There Any Non-Surgical Services Available?
Yes. Examples include laser hair removal, laser tattoo removal, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion. The doctor also provides treatments for skin problems like acne and rosacea.
There is a medical spa on the premises. Its services include dermal fillers, waxing, and different types of non-surgical skin tightening.
