• Tummy Tuck

  The tummy tuck is a surgical procedure designed to reduce excess skin, tighten abdominal muscles and improve the appearance of scars on the abdomen (commonly called the tummy, hence the popular name “tummy tuck”). *Results May Vary From Person to Person Has pregnancy caused your abdominal skin and muscles to become flabby? Do you feel as if your tummy is hanging down to your toes? Has excessive weight loss followed by weight gain followed by weight loss left a layer of loose extra skin and stretched out, thin muscles? Then take the next step and call Dr. DeChiara today to learn how abdominoplasty could give you a flatter, more defined stomach. Weak stomach muscles and extra fatty tissue could be contributing to your bad posture and causing potential back problems. Abdominoplasty is designed to help improve these situations. People who have had major weight loss and post bariatric surgery can benefit greatly from a tummy tuck procedure. Folds and pockets of excess skin can be reduced, and remaining tissue and muscle could be contoured by Dr. DeChiara who specializes in procedures for patients in this unique circumstance. It is important to understand right away that a tummy tuck is NOT a weight loss procedure or a substitute for a healthy diet or sensible exercise. Although the procedure reduces some fat, it is not an obesity cure. You should be at normal or near-normal weight before undergoing this procedure. Liposuction of the abdomen and other areas are commonly performed with a tummy tuck. The tummy tuck may also be combined with hernia repair. When you awaken after your abdominoplasty, you most likely will experience some abdominal discomfort when the anesthesia wears off. Your surgeon will give you medication to relieve any discomfort. If you have had a complete tummy tuck, we will have you stay overnight at Northern Westchester Hospital where you will stay in bed until the next morning. You can expect some pain in the incision, however, this is alleviated with medication and gradually subsides as you begin to walk and move about. You will receive specific instructions to follow during your recovery including rest and sleeping positions, bathing and showering techniques, and exercises you can perform at home. Swelling of the abdomen is normal following your tummy tuck. Dr. DeChiara’s abdominoplasty technique utilizes absorbable sutures so you do not need to worry about having any sutures removed. You will find that swelling subsides starting the second week after your tummy tuck, but some lower abdominal fullness persists. You may expect to see about 50% of your total contour improvement at three weeks and about 75% at one month. It usually takes an additional two weeks for the last of the swelling to recede. Occasionally, individuals may see continued improvement up to six months after a tummy tuck, but changes beyond three months are usually subtle. You will be happiest with your tummy tuck if you understand that it will take several months for the complete results of our ideal new look to be fully visible.* *Individual Results May Vary

• Breast Augmentation

  Breast Augmentation or breast enlargement is a way of achieving a more proportionate figure. Many of Dr. DeChiara’s patients say that before breast augmentation their clothes did not fit well and hung on them. Others lost breast volume after pregnancy. Their breasts may have also sagged. They look at breast augmentation as having regained their youthful figure. Breast Augmentation has evolved throughout the years. Breast implants have changed and now there is a variety available. As you consider your options, there are many facts to consider, and Dr DeChiara can be a great resource. The following will give you some insight into breast augmentation, your choices, and what to expect. The first thing you should think about is what do you really want? In other words, what is it that you hope breast implants will do for you? Do you just want to be bigger or do you want to fill out the upper part of your breasts, which might have emptied after pregnancy or with age? Are your breasts uneven in size and shape and are you looking to make them more symmetrical? Are your breasts sagging and your priority is to have them lifted and made to look “perky”? There are other questions that are also important. Is your skin tight or lose? Breast skin loosens after pregnancy, age, or with cyclic weight gain and loss. How much breast tissue you have to begin with will also affect the way your implants will look on you. *Results May Vary From Person to Person What Implant Shape Is Best For You? Round, Teardrop, High Profile? The answer to this question is an individual one. Round implants in general are wider and will give you a more prominent cleavage. They also enhance the upper part of the breast tissue more fully. This might be an advantage for someone who is missing breast volume over the upper pole. On the other hand there are some women that want the implants to emphasize the lower part of their breast. For this group a Teardrop implant might be more appropriate. It all depends on what your goal is. Under or Over The Muscle? This refers to where the implant is positioned, under the Pectoralis Major (chest) muscle or over it. There are two important issues about this. First, sub-pectoral placement (under the muscle) of the implant in general results in less chance of capsular contracture. Therefore, there is a less chance that your implants will become hard. The second issue pertains to how the implants will look. In general the more padding you have over the implants, the smoother their periphery will look. Think of some of the women that you might have seen where the upper circumference of the implant is very sharp and the breasts look like they have been stuck on. If you have sufficient breast tissue to begin with, this will camouflage the implants well and will make them look more natural. On the other hand, if you don’t have substantial breast tissue to begin with, sub-muscular placement will give you the padding that you need to avoid the “stuck on” appearance. Saline or Silicone Implants? Both of these implants are currently available for use in the United States. Despite media and courtroom controversies most recent scientific studies have shown that silicone breast implants do not increase the risk of cancer and do not contribute to auto-immune diseases. You should know that the risk of implant rupture is low and that silicone implants in general have a more natural feel. Do Implants Interfere with Breast Cancer Detection? Breast mass detection by self-examination is possible after breast augmentation. Submuscular placement of the implant allows better visualization of breast tissue with mammography. You should notify the mammography technician that you have implants so that they can perform the Eckland displacement mammography technique which visualizes your breasts better than the normal technique. If you choose silicone implants, we recommend an MRI every other year to examine the implants and breasts. Incisions: Inframammary, Peri-areolar, Trans-axillary, Trans-umbilical Inframammary incision is placed where the breast meets the chest, and is usually well hidden. The peri-areolar incision is made in the shape of a half circle at the outer edge of the areola, the colored area around the nipple. The Trans-axillary incision is placed in or near the armpit, and the trans-umbilical incision is made through the umbilicus, the “belly button”. In making your decision about which incision is best you should consider many factors.

The Cutera Excel difference. The Cutera Excel combines the ideal laser wavelength with the most flexible parameters to deliver a superior vascular laser system. It treats a broad range of vessels from tiny spider veins to deep blue reticular veins quickly, safely, and effectively. Patients with dark, light or tanned skin can experience outstanding results with minimal bruising or blistering. How does Excel Vein Therapy work? The Cutera Excel systems deliver pulses of light energy which cause the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually reducing the vessel which is later reabsorbed by your body. Blood flow will then be redirected to veins deeper below your skin’s surface, where it should be. How many treatments will I need? Often, patients find that one or two treatments are sufficient. However, the number of treatments necessary depends on the number, color, and size of the vessels being treated. Since individual results vary, ask your medical professional about your specific condition. Do the treatments hurt? Most patients experience a stinging sensation as the pulses of energy are delivered through the handpiece. Although no local anesthesia or pain medication is typically required, many patients opt to use a topical anesthetic prior to treatment. Following the treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent. What are the possible side effects? Although many patients report few if any side effects, those most commonly noticed are slight reddening and local swelling of the skin. These effects typically last for less than 24 hours. Some patients may experience bruising and, in rare instances, blistering may occur. Consult with your medical professional for complete information on the benefits and risks of treatment. When will I see results? Most patients find that the majority of the treated veins have shown significant improvement within two to six weeks of treatment. However, your final results may not be apparent for several months. Over time, it is possible for new veins to appear, but these too can be removed with the Cutera Excel. *Individual Results May Vary

• IV Therapy

  Alpa Lipoic Acid IV Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring fat and water-soluble antioxidant, which plays a significant role in several metabolic processes in the body. It is considered a “universal antioxidant” since it demonstrates antioxidant function as well as contributes in the production of other important antioxidants such as glutathione and several vitamins. ALA is essential for cell metabolism through its effects on mitochondria (power sources of cells) and cellular energy production. Because ALA can pass easily into the brain, it may help protect the brain and nerve tissue. Researchers are investigating it as a potential treatment for stroke and other brain problems involving free radical damage, such as dementia. Studies also support that ALA helps lower blood sugar levels. It improves insulin sensitivity and lowers blood sugar, helping diabetics by aiding in damaged nerves and arteries. Its ability to eliminate free radicals may help people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, who have pain, burning, itching, tingling, and numbness in arms and legs from nerve damage. IV therapy allows much higher doses of ALA to be administered, as opposed to oral administration, and research has found that higher doses seem to have an anti-cancer effect. Anti-Aging IV Therapy Increases energy levels, stamina and supports optimal wellness. Choose this IV if you are feeling fatigued and looking for a potent boost. Our instant Energy IV has all the great components of our Standard IV, with the additions of NADH, Ribose, Myoden (Adenosine), and DMG. These components take the already energy supportive IV and makes it a superior metabolic mix. This is a great selection if you have to put in extra hours on the job, suffering from energy loss, or just looking for a metabolic boost. This IV can be used as a single use for a “pick me up”, or in a series of 6-8 IVs to help boost metabolism for periods of athletic training, weight loss or any need for improved metabolic output. We add B-complex vitamins because of their need to produce energy from carbohydrates. More aggressive exercise may have higher requirements for some of the B vitamins, including vitamins B2, B6, and B5, athletic performance be affected if these needs are not met. With the B complex and the addition of the other highlighted ingredients makes this an excellent combination for maximal physical output. Energy IV Therapy This intravenous therapy is a strong blend of vitamins and antioxidants that support strong cognition and healthy aging. This IV should be used in a in a series of ten IV’s to help support the repair mechanism in the body while strengthening brain function, bones, connective tissue and energy. Age adjusted telomere length is the best method to assess biological age using structural analysis of chromosomal age change in the telomere. Telomeres are the little caps on the end of the chromosomes that carry our DNA. Many think of them as the tips of the shoelaces that keep everything from unraveling. Telomeres get shorter with age and several other environmental and lifestyle influences can speed up telomere shortening, speeding up the aging process. Therapies directed at slowing the loss of telomere length may slow aging and age-related diseases. Glutathione IV Therapy Glutathione is the body’s most powerful natural antioxidant and is found in every cell in the body. Glutathione is a tri-peptide (composed of three amino acids, Glutamic Acid, Cysteine, and Glycine) that bolsters the immune system and also helps neutralize damaging free radicals. Antioxidants can even help your body repair free radical damage caused by such things as stress, radiation, infections, drugs, medications, malnutrition, and aging. Animal and laboratory studies have demonstrated that glutathione has the potential to fight almost any disease, particularly those associated with aging, since free radical damage is the cause of many of the diseases of old age. Some of the best studies done on glutathione have been conducted in cancer. One study involved women with ovarian cancer who were being treated with chemotherapy. Some of the women were also treated with intravenous glutathione. Those given the glutathione not only had fewer side effects from the chemotherapy but also had better overall survival rates.The Glutathione stores decrease as we age and with exposure to drugs, environmental toxins, Cigarette smoke, and poor diets. When a deficiency in Glutathione develops, oral supplements do not offer an answer because the absorption in the gut is extremely poor. Injection or Intravenous administration is really the gold standard to really maximize the antioxidant effects of Glutathione Immune Booster IV Therapy Boosts immune function to prevent and speed recovery from illness. Ideal at the onset of a cold or flu and an essential IV when preparing for travel.
