Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty often known as a tummy tuck is a very popular procedure throughout the world. Tummy tucks will flatten and reshape the abdomen by removing skin, fat, and creating an internal girdle by tightening the muscles. Dr. Berlet has been performing abdominoplasty for 20 years and has tweaked the procedure to result in excellent cosmetic results. It is one of the highest satisfaction operations that we perform as the patients have regained something they thought they would never get back or have gained something they never had.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a very popular procedure in the United States and abroad. It is an excellent tool for removing areas of unwanted fat. The perfect candidate for the procedure is someone that has worked hard on reducing their body and has trouble spots in their flanks or love handles, outer thighs, knees, inner thighs or abdomen. There are many forms of liposuction that have developed over time. The most common liposuction is performed with tumescent fluid which is essentially a fluid that consists of liquid that has a similar saline content or salt content to the body fluid in conjunction with lidocaine to numb it and epinephrine to shrink the vessels. This has reduced the complication rate of liposuction significantly as fluid is replaced as it is removed. Other advances in liposuction include ultrasonic liposuction as well as laser liposuction.
