A Circumferential
Abdominoplasty, sometimes referred to as a Body Lift, is a
procedure which is commonly recommended for patients who have an
excess of fat and/or laxity circumferentially around the
midline. It incorporates the abdominoplasty with the buttock
lift. Excess tissue is removed from around the midline, giving a
greater body contour. In most cases, this is preceded by
thorough liposuction. This procedure will flatten and tighten the tummy as
well as lifting the thighs and buttocks.
Dr. Hunstad has been performing this
procedure for many years. He has performed circumferential body lifting as an invited
surgeon in Brussels Belgium, Rome Italy, Anchorage Alaska, and has
performed advanced abdominoplasty and liposuction procedures in
Barcelona Spain, Tel Aviv Israel, and Québec City Canada. He also performed
an advanced abdominoplasty procedure for the Canadian Society for
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in Vancouver, as an invited
Professor, in September 2005. Dr. Hunstad hopes to share his
expertise in this very demanding field helping you achieve the most
significant result possible. The first circumferential abdominoplasty
he performed was in 1989 and the patient continues to do
extremely well and still has a very beautiful result.
