Knee Liposuction

Posted on August 23, 2016 by Dr. Gus Galante

Do you dislike your knees? Most women describe attractive legs as a gradual tapering from the thighs to the ankles. While a slight fullness at the knees is normal, many women have prominent fatty bulges on the inner knees, even without excess fat in the thighs. This is both genetically determined and age related. If you’re seeking shapelier legs, liposuction of the inner knees can eliminate the avocado-shaped “bump” in that area to create a more pleasing appearance. It’s wise to know that liposuction of the fatty area above the knee is rarely performed but, when it is, a minimal amount … Continue reading

Once removed, the fat cells are gone forever. I routinely perform liposuction in Indiana at my Valparaiso and Schererville plastic surgery practices near Merrillville and Munster. Where Can Liposuction Be Performed? Although liposuction can be performed on nearly any part of the body, the … Continue reading

Is a Lunchtime Facelift Right for You?

Posted on May 15, 2016 by Dr. Gus Galante

Many of my Indiana plastic surgery patients wish to have an improvement in their facial appearance, but aren’t quite ready for a facelift. For those patients, a Lunchtime Facelift, also known as a Liquid Facelift, can provide improvement that, although temporary, is less expensive than a traditional facelift and has virtually no downtime. It’s often called a “lunchtime” facelift because the entire session can usually be completed over ones lunch hour. What is a Lunchtime Facelift?  A Lunchtime or Liquid Facelift is a non-surgical procedure that involves the injection of dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm, Voluma, Restylane, Perlane and/or Restylane … Continue reading
