At Christine Hamori Cosmetic Surgery + Skin Spa, there is no shortage of women's wellness therapies. Through a combination of one or more surgical and nonsurgical procedures, a layered approach can address a range of issues caused by childbirth or age. Feel just as confident with your post baby body as you did pre-pregnancy with one of these cutting-edge treatments. TUMMY TUCK Pregnancy results in the thinning and separation of the rectus abdominis muscles and stretching of the abdominal wall skin. For many, abdominoplasty—commonly referred to as a "tummy tuck"—is the most direct way to restore muscle alignment and remove loose skin and fat, resulting in a more youthful and shapelier abdomen. Drs. Hamori and DiEdwardo perform the progressive tension tummy tuck technique in which drains are not used. This makes the recovery time easier and results in a nicer contour with softer scars. BREAST LIFT AND/OR AUGMENTATION A breast lift is a great option for women who are satisfied with the size of their breasts but want to address droopiness or sagging. This procedure reduces excess skin. Many women find they have also lost volume in their breasts, especially after birthing and nursing children. For those women, breast lift augmentation will restore upper breast fullness and lift the breast simultaneously. CELLULITE TREATMENT AVÉLI ® This new, minimally invasive one-time treatment is FDA- approved for buttock and posterior thighs. Performed in the office under local anesthesia, a handheld device is placed beneath the skin to mechanically release the fibrous tissue beneath the individual cellulite dimples, resulting in a smoother contour. NONSURGICAL PELVIC FLOOR REJUVENATION The natural aging process, childbirth and excess weight-loss can all lead to laxity in the pelvic floor and perineum. There is increased awareness of these issues and Dr. Hamori's team has the new technologies to address them: EMSELLA ® This noninvasive procedure uses high intensity magnetic waves to stimulate and strengthen the pelvic floor. Whether due to the effect of childbirth or simply age, the muscles of the pelvic floor can relax and weaken, often causing urinary incontinence. With Emsella ® , the pelvic floor is stimulated and strengthened. This procedure takes only 30 minutes per session and requires no downtime. Many patients notice improvement after just one session.
