Results of body contouring are long-lasting; however, that does not mean that they are permanent. As much as patients want to believe that the effects of their surgical procedure(s) will be with them forever, it is not always that way. Your physique is just as sensitive after your surgery as it was before, and you […]

Your arms are one of your most exposed features, and no one wants to hide them under sweaters and jackets during the hot summer months. Unfortunately, many people are unsatisfied with the presence of jiggling upper arms. The upper arms are one of the most challenging areas to tone, and the skin there begins to show the effects of aging and weight fluctuations early. This combination leads many to desire cosmetic help. Traditionally, arm lift surgery is performed to address sagging on the upper arms. However, advances in minimally invasive procedures have allowed doctors the ability to provide their patients with alternatives to surgery. Dr. Schlechter offers Renuvion™ to his patients at North Shore Aesthetics.

Recently, social media has become so intertwined with everyday life that it is difficult to remember the way things once were–a time when women and men weren’t worried about whether or not they were “camera-ready.” Social media and selfies truly have reinvented the way we see and choose to present ourselves to others. This desire to look our best has led to a spike in facial cosmetic procedures across the board, especially ones that enhance a person’s profile. A common spot that patients desire to transform is the area beneath the chin.

While becoming a mother brings immeasurable joy and many beautiful experiences, the effect it has on your body is not always positive. Between the stubborn fat, sagging skin, drooping breasts, and stretch marks, pregnancy and nursing can often lead you to believe that you were given an entirely new body.

Butt augmentation using the Brazilian Butt Lift technique has gained international popularity and acclaim for its ability to enhance the size, shape, and firmness of the derrière. Women of all ages are desiring fuller, shapelier backsides to improve their feminine curves and allow them to “fill out” dresses, shorts, and bikinis. The Brazilian Butt Lift differs from other butt augmentation techniques in that it utilizes fat grafting. During this procedure, Dr. Schlechter harvests the patient’s fat using liposuction, purifies it, and then strategically injects it to augment the shape and size of the buttocks. This procedure comes with multiple benefits: you can achieve your desired enhanced backside, and you can remove unwanted excess fat from troublesome areas such as this abdomen, hips, and thighs. Who doesn’t want that? With all of these benefits, you may be wondering if you are a candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift.

The annoyance of having stubborn, diet-resistant fat pockets is one that is shared by most men and women. Everyone has those few areas that are glued to you no matter how well you eat or how much you exercise. And as you age, you may find the number of these trouble spots increase. Oddly enough, while age often brings additional unwanted fat to areas of your body, your face loses the fat it relies on for its youthful shape and fullness. To simultaneously treat this dilemma, Dr. Schlechter performs a combination of liposuction and fat transfer. During this procedure, fat is removed from one or more trouble areas of your body such as your abdomen, hips, or thighs. The fat is then purified and added back to other areas that have lost their desired volume, such as the lips, face, breasts, buttocks, or hands. This procedure can be done with any liposuction technique.

Physical comfort is something we crave as human beings. There’s nothing like curling up with a blanket on a snowy winter’s day, slipping between soft bedsheets, or finding the perfect outfit that is both flattering and comfortable to wear. Unfortunately, some physical discomforts are caused by anatomic realities. Just as some women experience discomfort because of their overly large breasts, some women experience discomfort due to the size or shape of their labia. Labiaplasty can improve the size and shape of the labia to reduce discomfort and limit irritation.

The dreaded bat wings—excess, hanging, flabby skin in the upper arms—can develop even in the healthiest and fittest of individuals. Lost skin elasticity due to weight loss, genetics, and aging can cause the loose skin to hang from the upper arms.

He will recommend one of these two techniques for you, which will improve your bat wings and restore attractive, slender, and youthful upper arm contours.
