A healthy, beautiful body is on the top of every woman's wish list but often pregnancy, genetics, age and lifestyle make this an extremely difficult goal to achieve and maintain. Dr. Adam R. Kolker helps you choose the body contouring option that is most appropriate for your physical and emotional needs and performs your procedure in a private, on-site medical suite to ensure your total comfort and safety before and after surgery.

For women who would love a flatter stomach, adominoplasty, or a "tummy tuck" can give you the tighter, firmer abdomen you desire. Dr. Kolker's unique approach to this procedure is not simply the removal of excess skin and fat; it is geared to achieving an aesthetically balanced and cosmetically beautiful abdominal contour by combining abdominoplasty techniques that suit you best.

Liposuction is a procedure used to refine and contour areas that do not respond well to weight loss or exercise. Localized accumulations of fat found on the hips, thighs, buttocks, knees, abdomen, upper arms, breast, chest, chin, cheeks and neck are permanently corrected by liposuction. Though not a replacement for diet or exercise, liposuction does replace the thought of having to live with these stubborn areas of fat forever.

For women who have loose, excessive skin and fat around the abdomen, flanks, back, buttocks and thighs, a lower body lift can reshape your body beautifully. The lower body lift produces a natural contour and more youthful cosmetic outcome requiring the combination of technical expertise, artistic perspective, and meticulous attention to detail that Dr. Kolker passionately and professionally brings to every individual.

Excess skin and fat on thighs caused by dramatic fluctuations in weight, can be corrected with a thigh lift. In some circumstances, where there is fat excess only with minimal skin laxity with good elasticity, liposuction alone can be considered. More often, a thigh lift procedure is indicated, in which excess skin and fat are removed.

Excess skin and fat of the arms can be a result of heredity, or more commonly significant weight loss. A brachioplasty or "arm lift" is a surgical procedure by which excess skin and excess fat from the upper arms are removed. Occasionally, when there is excess fat only with minimal skin excess and good skin elasticity, liposuction alone may be sufficient. More often, an arm lift or brachioplasty procedure is indicated, in which excess skin and fat are removed and the arms are contoured.

For post-bariatric surgery and massive weight loss patients, a customized combination of procedures may be recommended by Dr. Adam R. Kolker to help you achieve your cosmetic goals after a weight loss plateau has been reached. Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), lower body lift (belt lipectomy), mastopexy (breast lift), augmentation mastopexy (breast enlargement and lift), brachioplasty (arm lift), upper body lift (a combination of arm lift and breast lift that also removes the excess tissues of the sides of the ribcage), thigh lift or face lift may be performed: all involve the removal and tightening of excess skin with sculptural tissue contouring, leading to a smoother, more youthful, and more natural appearance.

Plastic surgery after pregnancy, also known as a "mommy makeover", describes that wide variety of treatments available to correct post-pregnancy changes. There is no standard formula for a mommy makeover; it is always tailored to your individual needs. Cosmetic surgery procedures after pregnancy or any cosmetic treatments geared toward the correction of, and the reversal of, post-pregnancy alterations in the body and skin may be combined, or performed as isolated procedures. Most moms do not have the luxury of a long recovery period after surgery, so a treatment plan is always suggested that gets you back to family life, and just as importantly, your life (and body), the most quickly. ps.
