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

My Indiana tummy tuck patients love their results, and most of them wish they’d taken the plunge earlier than they did. Knowing how many of my patients are considering this procedure, I’m sharing these tips to make your recovery even easier! Get Time Off You’re going to want a minimum of one week to recover, and most of my tummy tuck patients find that 10-14 days is even better. If you have a job that involves lifting, you’ll need to either take more time away from work or be temporarily reassigned to a position with no lifting. Get Extra ZZZ’s … Continue reading

The Skinny on Excisional Liposuction

Posted on June 15, 2016 by Dr. Gus Galante

Did you know that there is a type of liposuction that offers you results that are closer to a tummy tuck than “just” liposuction? It’s called excisional liposuction or liposuction with skin excision. What is Liposuction? Liposuction, although not a weight loss technique, permanently removes fat from areas of the body that don’t respond to exercise and diet. 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
