Abdominal Contouring

As our appreciation for humanity becomes global, a proportional yet fit stature is now the ideal. Dr. Belsley can help modify portions of a physique to help achieve a total body proportion that appears both attractive and healthy.

Body Contouring Provides A Proportional Yet Fit Stature.

A survey of the world’s artistic masterpieces reveals marked changes in the female body ideal throughout the ages. New York City has a more modern body ideal where glowing skin and a healthy aesthetic is more in fashion.Rotund figures emphasizing fertility and motherhood represented the paragon of womanhood for thousands of years. Greek and Roman sculpture idealized a significantly more athletic, but nonetheless curvaceous female ideal. The twentieth century brought convictions that introduced an understanding that no one particular female body is ideal. Although the male archetype remains grounded in athleticism, similar busy schedules and lifestyle demands may also necessitate surgical contouring.

Liposuction, tummy tuck and abdominoplasty are aesthetic surgery proceudres that are performed in New York by Dr. Ksenja Belsley. These procedures take into account the quality of skin, the amount of fat in order to lift and tone the appropriate portions of the body and attain an optimal result. These procedures are cosmetic plastic surgery options that can help achieve more youthful appearances.

Abdominoplasty can modify portions of a physique

The female abdomen embodies the essence of womanhood, both in form and in function. However, pregnancy stretches the abdominal skin and the muscle layers beneath it. In both men and women, these layers may simply loose elasticity over time.  In either case, some aspects of the changes in the appearance of the abdomen will not be responsive to diet or exercise.   A surgical procedure known as an abdominoplasty or a “tummy tuck” can enhance the body’s contour by making the abdomen firmer, flatter and tighter.  An enhancement in the fit of an individual’s clothing, their posture and their self image often results.


Mid-Body Liposuction can provide a more attractive and healthy appearance

Various degrees of abdominal distension occur with pregnancy, weight gain and aging.  In individuals whose skin and muscle has not been stretched out of shape and who have appropriate skin elasticity, the mid-body may be contoured with liposuction.  There are various forms of liposuction that use tumescent techniques. Smart liposcution, ultrasonic liposuction are mechanical techniques of augmented liposuction. These use energy to break apart the fat so that the cosmetic plastic surgeon attains smooth results throughout the layers of fat undeneath the skin. The scars that occur during liposuction are the same regardless of energy source used. The advantages of this method of body contouring include shorter incisions and a shorter recovery period.  In individuals who are fit and have good muscle tone, but have a genetic tendency to accumulate fat deposits in the abdomen, this method of body contouring can uncover and showcase an athletic physique.

Lower Body Liposuction

Although many body types exist, many women are genetically predisposed to accumulate fat stores in the hips and thighs.  In the extreme, this tendency may result in a body proportion that appears off balance.  Further, fatty deposits in these areas are notoriously unresponsive to diet and exercise.  Liposuction can successfully address these concerns and also improve the fit of clothing.  In individuals with fat deposits in the knees, lower legs and ankles, liposuction can result in shapelier legs.

Arm Lift

An arm lift, also know as a brachioplasty, is most often performed in individuals who have lost a large amount of weight.  However, anyone with a significant amount of skin that sags on the underside of the arm may benefit from this procedure.  Although an incision is required to remove the excess skin, Dr. Belsley will make every effort to place this incision in an inconspicuous position.

Back Liposuction:

Most men and some women have a tendency to accumulate fat deposits in the back immediately above the buttocks.  This area is often referred to in popular culture as “love handles.”  The lower rise pants that have become fashionable of late emphasize excess fat in these areas.  Liposuction can provide an excellent resolution to this concern with a relatively short recovery period.  In addition, Dr. Belsley feels that liposuction of the upper back, especially around the bra strap area in women, has proven increasingly successful with the addition of ultrasound assisted liposuction.  This specialized technique of liposuction involves the use of high frequency sound waves to assist in breaking up fat cells prior to liposuction.  It has rendered previously resistant areas of fat deposition much more amenable to liposuction as a method of body contouring.

Arm Liposuction:

In individuals with overly full upper arms but good skin tone, arm liposuction can result in shapelier, more muscular appearing upper arms without lengthy incisions.  Dr. Belsley often utilizes ultrasound assisted liposuction in this area in order to promote skin shrinkage, making more individuals candidates for this minimally invasive method of arm contouring.
