Our commitment is to provide the highest standard of care and excellence in the plastic surgery field. Dr. Foti tailors each procedure carefully to ensure an excellent outcome and to make your experience a memorable one.

Liposuction

If you would like to remove the unwanted fat that does not seem to go away with diet and exercise, liposuction may be the solution. Liposuction helps sculpt the body by removing those unwanted pockets of fat resulting in a sleeker, new you. With its ability to permanently remove fat, and contour the body, liposuction has become the most requested procedure in plastic surgery. Liposuction is most commonly used to remove fat from the back, arms, thighs, buttock, abdomen and hips.

Dr. Foti uses state of the art ultrasonic liposuction to remove larger amounts of fat than was previously possible. The ultrasonic waves melt the fat away resulting in less discomfort and bruising. You can usually return to your normal activities in about 3-5 days and begin exercising in about a week.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Everyone would like a sleek, trim abdomen. If diet and exercise leaves you with a protruding belly and sagging skin, a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty may be right for you.

A tummy tuck allows removal of your excess skin as well as tightening of your abdominal muscles giving you a tummy to be proud of. Stretch marks in the skin of your lower abdomen are removed as well. Your incision is placed in the lower portion of the abdomen where it can usually be hidden by your underwear or bikini bottom.

Tummy tucks are done on an outpatient basis, allowing you to recover in the comfort of your own home. You can usually return to work in 1-2 weeks. You should have your tummy tuck done once you have finished having children since pregnancy can reverse the improvements achieved by the procedure.

Upper Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

An arm lift is designed to remove your loose, sagging skin on the upper arm. The sagging skin is most often the result of significant weight loss. The incisions are placed on the inner portion of the upper arm to make it as inconspicuous as possible. You can generally return to work in less than a week.

Thigh Lift

A thigh lift removes loose skin from the thigh that is a result of significant weight loss. If the sagging skin is mostly in the upper, inner thigh, the incision can be placed on the upper inner thigh where it meets the body. If sagging is present throughout the thigh, the incision is placed along the upper as well as along the length of the inner thigh.

You are generally back to work in 1-2 weeks and full activity in about a month.
