]]>A belt lipectomy is composed of a circumferential removal of excess skin without the lifting and shaping of the body lift. If this procedure is applied to a female torso, which some plastic and cosmetic surgeons consider a body lift, the torso can be masculinized and left without any shape.
Each patient presenting for a body lift should be evaluated individually, with goals and limitations discussed so that the right procedure is performed. This is very true when developing a body lift plan for the male patient who typically presents after significant weight loss, either after diet and exercise, or post-bariatric surgery who has hanging skin extending to the flanks and back. The belt lipectomy will remove this hanging skin, slimming the waistline without tightening it. This can be a life changing operation for the male patient who suffers with finding appropriate clothes to cover the excess skin and who struggles with hygiene under the excess skin. The belt lipectomy operation is done under general anesthesia and takes approximately 3 hours to complete with a one night overnight stay.
For questions about body lifts and belt lipectomy call Dr. Trussler’s office in Austin, Texas at (512)450-1077.

]]>Nipple height can not only be decreased as in the inverted nipple, but can be increased with an overly projecting or long nipple. This problem can begin after breast feeding, but may be congenital. Long or oversized nipples may be a source of embarrassment and are commonly covered up with bra padding and pasties, but are difficult to conceal in bathing suits and when naked. Most women believe that this problem cannot be corrected and they are “stuck” with them, or they are embarrassed to seek treatment for the size of the nipple. Activities and clothing can be avoided because of this problem. Nipple height can be decreased with a very minor wedge excision of the nipple with a turn-down upper nipple flap. This procedure does disrupt the continuity of the nipple ducts and does make breast feeding not possible. It is easily performed under local anesthesia in a minor procedure room with minimal recovery.
All nipple procedures including decreasing the diameter of the areola, as well as correcting the length of the nipple can be performed easily and can be combined safely with breast augmentation, breast enhancement with breast implants and breast lifts (mastopexy) and reductions. The beauty of nipple surgery is that this area heals with minimal scarring.
Dr. Trussler will individually discuss each concern with the look and function of nipple and tailor the correction to each patient’s age and request, including the desire to breast feed.
