Liposuction

Women Seek The Perfect Thigh Gap

April 15, 2013 by Davis

Model Cara Delevingne has been taking the beauty world by storm over the last year. Women want her lips. They want her eyes. They want her eyebrows. And right now, they want her thighs – or more specifically, the space between them.

Delevingne is just one of many examples of women who display “thigh gap.” Thigh gap is when there is a space between your thighs even while standing straight with your legs together. The look is all the rage right now, with Delevingne’s lanky frame leading the way, but in many cases it’s just not possible to achieve without help.

That help can come through cosmetic surgery, specifically a form of liposuction unofficially referred to as “thigh gap surgery” which can help ensure a woman’s thighs do not touch. Keep in mind that not everyone is a candidate. A physical examination is necessary to assess the amount of tissue present and the quality of the overlying skin, which can often be thinner at the inner thighs than in other areas. But women who are a candidate for thigh gap surgery have enjoyed success in achieving the elusive look they seek.

As for Delevingne, she is influencing more than just the way women see their thighs. As Dr. Steven Davis recently told the Philadelphia Enquirer, “Delevingne is more than the thigh gap … We are tattooing in eyebrows to get that bushy eyebrow appearance. We are also doing cheekbone resculpting because women want to appear more angular, feminine, furry, frilly, and futuristic.”

Needless to say, this 20-year-old model is making an impact much bigger than her tiny frame!

If you are looking for cosmetic surgery in New Jersey or Pennsylvania and want to achieve the perfect thigh gap, contact Dr. Steven Davis for a consultation, or find us on Facebook.

Liposuction

December 19, 2012 by Davis

For many years Plastic Surgeons have been able to safely remove unwanted fat by liposuction. The sequence of events generally remain the same…infusing numbing solution-the tumescent fluid provides anesthesia/ baths the fat cells and distends the tissues to make moving of this cannulas less traumatic.

Sometimes additional energy is needed to assist in removing the fat or to help tighten loose skin. Examples of these are:
a) UAL –Ultrasonic Assisted Liposuction
An example of this is the Vaser, it helps break through the scarred tissue from previous surgery or other reasons.
b) LAL – Laser Assisted Liposuction
Examples are Smart lipo and Cool lipo. A small laser probe is used to melt fat close to the skin surface in small delicate areas such as the face, arms and neck.
c) RFAL-RadioFrequency Assisted Liposuction- BodyTite, Neck Tite – Radiofrequency energy is implemented internally as well as externally – working as a bipolar devise. The internal liposuction cannula melts the fat while simultaneously sucking out the liquefied fat. The external probe heats the skin to cause skin shrinkage and tightening for patients with loose skin and fat around the abdomen from multiple pregnancies – this technique may be an alternative for the “mommy tummy tuck”. It also works well to tighten arms and legs as well as the new Neck Tite to sculpt and tighten the neck and jowls.
