The Scarless Arm Lift

Posted in Body Plastic Surgery

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.

Posted in Body Plastic Surgery

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.

What Is Water-Assisted Liposuction?

Posted in Body Plastic Surgery

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.
