Breast and Body Surgery

Liposuction

Liposuction is the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in America. Why do so many women and men choose liposuction? The answer is simple. Almost all of us have spots of fat that don't respond to dieting, nutritional supplements, and exercise.

Liposuction is the only method to get rid of these unwanted passengers, absolutely, once and for all!

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is chosen by women who want larger breasts and a more proportional body shape. The procedure can make a woman feel more attractive, sensual and confident in her appearance.

Breast implants are made of a silicone rubber shell and filled with saline or elastic silicone gel. Our practice offers both implant types, in a variety of sizes for different patients.

Arm Lift

Brachioplasty, i.e. the arm lift, is a procedure that removes sagging skin under the upper arm, a problem that is caused by weight loss, age and heredity.

During the arm lift, Dr. McMenamin reshapes the contour of the arm by removing excess fat with liposuction or surgical skin removal, reducing the amount of loose skin in the arms. An arm lift can give people with drooping underarms a more toned, youthful appearance.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck can resolve problems of excess skin and fat on the abdomen. These issues are typically caused by overstretching of skin during pregnancy or fluctuations in body weight.

During a tummy tuck, the loose tissue and skin on your tummy is trimmed and contoured to create a more streamlined appearance. Surgical techniques involved in the tummy tuck include surgical skin removal and in some cases, liposuction.

ProLipo

ProLipo is a minimally invasive laser-assisted procedure that targets undesirable fat in nearly every part of the body including the face, neck, back, abdomen, hips and waist, knees and buttocks.

The FDA approved body sculpting treatment incorporates a dual wavelength capability, allowing a skilled surgeon like Dr. McMenamin to choose between the wavelengths, or combine them in order to optimize the results.

Laser Liposuction

Laser liposuction is a body contouring treatment in which a laser assists in the fat removal process of liposuction.

Laser liposuction is regarded by many as superior to liposuction because it reduces pain, blood loss and bruising when compared to liposuction alone. Furthermore, the technique allows for a more selective fat removal and increased tissue tightening.

Smartlipo

Smartlipo is a laser liposuction system that was innovated as a new approach to fat removal. The Nd:YAG laser with a 1064nm wavelength is used to target the fat cells by heating and destroying the fat tissue prior to removal.

In addition to liquidating fat, the approach promotes tissue coagulation which, in turn, tightens loose skin. Treatment with SmartLipo is known to cause minimal bleeding and bruising, and results in a shorter recovery period, benefits that many regard as major improvements over traditional liposuction.
