Offering Liposuction, Abdominoplasty, and Other Procedures to Residents of Reno, Carson City, and Tahoe
We all know that exercising is an excellent way to lose weight and maintain a beautiful figure. However, many people are unable to exercise because of busy schedules or long-term injuries. In addition, even diligent fitness enthusiasts have trouble eliminating stubborn pockets of fat located in areas such as the stomach, neck, and buttocks. At McCormack Plastic Surgery, we offer various body contouring procedures such as abdominoplasty and liposuction to residents of Reno, Carson City, and the rest of the Lake Tahoe area to help them achieve a more toned and attractive figure. If you would like to learn more about these procedures and how they could help you enhance your appearance, contact our cosmetic surgery office today.
Liposuction performed by Dr. McCormack
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that works best for patients who have fat deposits that cannot be addressed by proper diet and exercise. Fat can be removed from the stomach area, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, neck, chin, cheeks, or upper arms. Many different techniques are available with liposuction. Swelling can last four to six weeks, while complete healing from liposuction surgery takes about three months.
Dr. McCormack advocates the use of lymphatic massage following liposuction for Reno residents and other patients at our practice. Lymphatic massage stimulates lymph flow to more rapidly remove fluid, proteins, and toxins from around the cells back into the bloodstream. The end result is less bruising and less edema to help speed the liposuction recovery process.
Tummy Tuck ( Abdominoplasty) performed by Dr. McCormack
Large fat deposits or excess, loose skin in the abdominal area may make you a candidate for abdominoplasty. This is a major surgical procedure that is performed under general anesthesia and entails the removal of excess fat and skin, and tightening of the abdominal muscles. Abdominoplasty may be an inpatient or outpatient procedure, depending on the extent of the surgery. Returning to work can take anywhere from two to four weeks, while full recovery takes several months. Abdominoplasty surgery will result in scarring of the lower abdomen, which is not noticeable under clothing and will eventually fade. Most patients experience significant, long-term results and a dramatically improved abdominal area.

Thigh Lift performed by Dr. McCormack
The thigh lift procedure removes the excess skin that remains in the thigh and buttock area after a significant decrease in weight. Incisions are placed at the natural creases around the groin to minimize the appearance of scars. The patient is usually able to return to work about two weeks after surgery.
Bariatric Surgery
Significantly overweight individuals who undergo gastric bypass surgery will typically lose at least 60% of their excess body weight in the following 1-2 years. Unfortunately, neither diet nor exercise will eliminate the loose and saggy skin that has been stretched over time. A body lift is a series of surgeries that can remove excess skin and leave your figure looking more firm and toned. While an arm lift, breast lift, and facelift may be recommended following massive weight loss, a body lift typically involves procedures for the lower body such as a thigh lift, buttock lift, and abdominoplasty or liposuction. Reno residents and those of the surrounding areas who receive a body lift at our facility may need to undergo the various procedures at staged intervals to keep operating times within a safe range. Recovery time will vary based on the extent of your treatment.
