Breast Augmentation
Over a period of time, women's breasts are affected by various factors such as aging, genetics and pregnancies. Breast augmentation allows the surgeon to restore breast size and shape, thus enhancing self-esteem and satisfying body image. There are several different types of shapes and profiles that patients can choose from in order to achieve the desired look.
Breast Lift
Also known as mastopexy, a breast lift raises and firms the breast by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. Breast feeding, pregnancy, aging, and heredity all play a role in regards to the shape and firmness of the breast. Dr. Shulman can help restore and rejuvenate your figure with a breast profile that allows the patient to feel and look younger.
Breast Reduction
Also known as reduction mammoplasty, removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin, thus the goal is to alleviate the discomfort associated with large breasts. Mammoplasty can be covered by most insurance companies with the right documentation. Please tell your doctor(s) "regardless of specialty" and have them document all symptoms in your medical charts because many women have suffered for so long that they learned to "live with it', and don’t think to mentioned it to their physicians, thus documentation is very important. In addition, supporting documentation such as personal diaries and/or blogs about how this affects your daily activities will also help. For example, make note of the special bras, the daily pain meds (even over the counter) even the difficulty finding clothes that fit. Make sure "we" can see some of the physical problems such as, red/irritated skin under the breasts and bra strap indentations. Finally, be persistent and patient because some insurances providers require at least 6 to 12 months of documentation, so be prepared.
Liposuction
As an artist, liposuction allows Dr. Shulman to change the body's shape and contour by removing the body's excess fat.
Post Weight Loss Surgery
After the weight loss is stabilized over a period of time then body contouring surgery may be option for you in order to remove the overstretched skin that is no longer supported. Therefore, restoring the elasticity and conforming to the new appearance of the body size.
Skin lesions
Red raised bumps or bruises may appear on the legs and the upper torso which sores may occur when healthy skin is scratched or pricked. Dr. Shulman can utilize a combination of treatments that can help ease your symptoms.
Tummy Tuck
Also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin, and in most cases restores weakened or separated muscles creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer. As a mother of two girls, it's important to look and feel great and a tummy tuck will help achieve this look of pre-baby days. In addition, aging and significant weight gain plays a vital role that causes the abdomen area to look disproportion to the rest of the body.
