Sculpting the Feminine Form Through Plastic Surgery

By: Dr. Argha,

The feminine form epitomizes the true sense of a 3D shape in space. It not only represents curves in a 2 dimensional hour-glass form, but also profile curves in the form of the breasts and buttocks. Unfortunately, the body lift procedure only corrects vertical tissue laxity. It does not correct for the circumferential laxity nor for undefined contours and projections. Dr. Agha performs his signature Body Contouring Procedure that aims to return tissue laxity correction to all three dimensions of the body. This involves correction of both circumferential and vertical laxity, as well as correcting the dimension of projection and contour. The latter is most applicable to the abdomen, breasts, lower back and buttocks.
Typically, Dr. Agha performs his “High-definition Body Contouring� in 2 phases. This involves team surgery of about 16 hours in total. By using trained physician assistants, Dr. Agha can perform each stage of the surgery in around 7-8 hours. Depending on the patient’s wishes or what produces the best outcome, one phase will focus on the lower body and another stage the upper half. Dr. Argha takes a three dimensional approach when performing the lower body lift. He begins the procedure at the patient’s back. First the upper back rolls are liposuctioned. The removed fat is then collected in a sterile container, washed with antibiotics and processed for injection into the buttock regions as small droplets for buttock lipoaugmentation (otherwise known as the Brazilian Butt lift)or Brazilian Butt lift. In this manner, the projection and contour of the lower buttock regions are restored. Then, incisions are made on the lower and upper buttock for the circumferential abdominoplasty. The lower back tissue, in between the two incisions, is utilized as flaps for augmentation of the upper buttock region. Appropriately sized pockets are then created under the upper buttock regions for flap accommodation. Then, the buttock is lifted and the incisions are closed through absorbable sutures that are placed internally. In this way, the buttock sag and laxity are corrected with a buttock lift, and the volume lost is replaced through your own lower back excess tissues. As a result, buttock projection that defines feminine beauty and sensuality is restored and sometimes even enhanced.
Many patients discover a fuller and curvier buttock than ever before. Dr. Agha then continues the lower body lift procedure by performing the outer thigh lift. The outer thigh tissue is carefully undermined as far as the knee region using a special instrument. It is then elevated and secured at a higher position with deep stitches. Next, he focuses on the thigh region below the buttocks. To correct laxity of the thigh back, Dr Agha has developed a signature procedure that he has termed the Spiral thighplasty. This procedure corrects for the thigh laxity beginning below the buttock area. The excess upper thigh tissue is removed at the buttock fold, and the thigh is elevated to a higher position. The thigh is then secured to the underlying tissues and the buttock fold is carefully reconstructed. All skin incisions are then closed, and the patient is rotated on the bed and placed on her back with ample help.
Dr. Agha next completes the circumferential abdominoplasty in the front, followed by completion of the Spiral thighplasty. The Spiral thighplasty, unlike other thigh lift procedures, reduces thigh excess both vertically and circumferentially. Most of Dr. Agha’s patients notice a marked reduction in their thigh measurements as well as in their overall size. The hallmark of Dr. Agha’s approach is return of a three-dimensional contour to the body, as well as placement of symmetrical incisions that are placed low on the abdomen and obscured by a bikini. This combination of procedures can require from 7 to 8 hours of surgery.
During the second phase, the remaining body contouring procedures, including breast reshaping, an upper body lift and an extended arm lift (brachioplasty), are completed. This combination of procedures can take anywhere from 6 to 7 hours of surgery. The second stage is best undertaken once all the incisions of the first stage are fully healed and the nutritional reserves of the patient replaced. In Dr. Agha’s practice, most patients typically wait between 3 to 6 months for the second stage. The extended brachioplasty corrects for the significant arm skin and tissue laxity. The upper body lift can be done as a vertical incision on the outer chest, or a horizontal incision on the back. The choice depends on the degree of back tissue laxity, the orientation of the laxity and the patient’s personal preferences and aversions of scars. Finally, Dr. Argha performs the breast reshaping as described above.
During both the upper and lower body lift, Dr. Argha uses liposuction to contour and sculpt the underlying tissue to a desired three-dimensional form.
