Tummy
tuck procedures can vary. Some procedures remove a small
amount of excess skin from the lower abdomen while others
remove an entire ellipse of skin below the umbilicus
("belly button") as well as tighten the muscles in the
midline to narrow the waist. The goal is to provide
the best contour result with the least amount of scarring.
Liposuction can be combined with these techniques to
improve the contour further. The surgical procedure
usually takes between 2-3 hours with a recuperation
time of 1-2 weeks. Dr. Wallach has presented at national
meetings and published journal articles on abdominal
contour procedures.

Some
patients develop severely loose skin of the upper arms.
This is sometimes referred to as "bat wings." Removing
the excess skin along the inner aspect of the arm, from
just above the elbow extending into the axilla ("armpit"),
can treat this problem. The surgical procedure usually
takes between 2-3 hours with a recuperation time of
1-2 weeks.

Liposuction
is a great procedure to contour the body and remove
unwanted fat. It is ideal for patients who have isolated
areas of fat that are not successfully treated by diet
or exercise. Commonly, patients desire treatment of
the abdomen, flanks, back, arms, thighs, knees, calves,
ankles, and neck. Men sometimes request treatment of
their chest. (See gynecomastia treatment) Although liposuction
can help heavier patients to "slim-down" it should not
be considered a substitute for good diet and exercise.
In addition, the skin may actually become looser after
liposuction, and procedures to remove excess skin may
be the better choice. The surgical procedure usually
takes between 1-3 hours with a recuperation time of
2-5 days.
Dr. Wallach performs liposuction
using many different techniques including the tumescent
technique; power-assisted liposuction (PAL) and ultrasound-assisted
liposuction (UAL). Dr. Wallach has presented and published
papers on body contour procedures.

tissue of the inner and outer thighs can be treated
by direct excision of loose skin and subcutaneous fat
to improve the contour. The buttocks can also be lifted
in the procedure to improve the shape as well. The surgical
procedure usually takes between 4-6 hours with a recuperation
time of 1-2weeks.
