A variety of techniques may be used in the course of plastic surgery procedures, including incisions/excisions, laser surgery, liposuction, dermabrasion, electrosurgery and many others.
Incisions are one of the most commonly used plastic surgery techniques. Most facelifts require at least minor incisions, or controlled cuts in the skin. The Lifestyle Lift requires only small incisions behind the ears, making them well-concealed and unobtrusive.
Laser surgery involves using an intense, narrow beam of light instead of a scalpel for a bloodless cut. Laser surgery techniques are most commonly associated with specific procedures. Laser acne removal, laser tattoo removal and laser hair removal are all plastic surgery procedures that make use of laser surgery techniques.
Lifestyle Lift now offers Fractional Laser Skin Treatment at select centers to help treat fine lines, wrinkles and discolorations due to sun damage, as well as acne scars.
Liposuction generally refers to a set of techniques that’s designed to remove excess fat by suction from specific areas of the body, such as the stomach, thighs, arms and other areas. There are a variety of liposuction techniques, although all of them seek the same outcome.
Most physicians will not remove more than 10 pounds of body fat during any one liposuction procedure.
A popular cosmetic surgery procedure for skin improvement called dermabrasion removes the outer layer of the skin which, in turn, can remove scars, spots and damaged skin.
The electrosurgery technique applies high levels of electric current into tissue in order to remove warts, skin tags and other skin growths. Like many other cosmetic surgery techniques, there are a variety of applications, with each designed to get the best results for various situations.
