Our abdomen is one of the many parts of the body that likes to collect fat. Once fat has made it’s self at home around the midsection, it is often very difficult to get rid of through traditional diet and exercise. Additionally abdominal muscles that have become weak or separated may need help returning to a normal position. The surgeons at O’Sullivan Plastic Surgery use Boston abdominoplasty to improve the appearance of of your midsection.
Abdominoplasty, or more commonly known as a tummy tuck, is used to correct a protruding abdomen resulting from weak abdominal muscles, weight gain or pregnancy.

Liposuction can be used in conjunction with abdominoplasty to produce optimal results.
It is important to note that andominoplasty is not a form of weight loss. Patients who benefit from abdominoplasty are in good health and relatively good shape. Contact our office to schedule your consultation and learn more about how you can benefit from tummy tuck surgery.

Chin implants are commonly used to to correct a ‘weak’ chin and improve the balance of your facial structure. A weak chin can make nose seem larger or the neck appear fatter and undefined. Chin implants provide more projection of the chin and definition in the jaw.
Insertion of chin implants is a fairly short procedure taking anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. During the procedure, the surgeon selects the proper size and shape implant to achieve the desired appearance and inserts it into a pocket over the front of the jawbone. The small incision to create the pocket and insert the implant is placed inside the mouth (along the lower lip) or in the skin just under the chin area. For those concerned about an outward scar, the incision inside the mouth offers no visible scaring.
Usually, the chin is taped after surgery to minimize swelling and discomfort. Sutures in the skin will be removed in five to seven days. If an intra-oral incision is used, the sutures will dissolve. There may be some bruising around the chin but will be noticeably better within a couple of days. A consultation with the doctors at O’Sullivan Plastic Surgery will help you decide if chin implants are right for you.
