MINIMALLY INVASIVE PROCEDURES

Some patients with dramatic weight loss use minimally invasive procedures to supplement their surgical procedures. [Patients with panniculectomy often combine fat reduction and skin tightening treatments with their main surgeries.] Patients may also choose recurring cosmetic procedures to temporarily change their appearance or improve concerns like scarring. These options are also popular because they can help patients achieve more “natural” aesthetics that are relatively undetectable, have shorter recovery times, and do not require long-term commitment.

Frequently performed minimally invasive treatments, include:

  • Fat reduction treatments: CoolSculpting, Lipsonix, Emsculpt, Vanquish, Zerona.
  • Skin tightening treatments: Kybella, Pelleve, Thermage, Ulthera.
  • Botox: skin tightening, excessive sweating treatment, facial nerve pain, migraine treatment, and others.
  • Laser treatment: scar removal, tattoo removal, skin tightening, hair removal, skin pigmentation concerns, and others.
  • Cosmetic fillers and implants.
