Sculpting the Feminine Form Through Plastic Surgery

By: Julie Kerknievan

The female form epitomizes the true sense of a 3D shape in space. It not only represents the classic hourglass silhouette, but also profile curves in the form of the breasts and buttocks. Unfortunately, the body lift procedure is a purely one-dimensional correction of the vertical tissue laxity. It does not , however, adjust for the circumferential laxity nor for the lack of contours and projections. Dr. Argha’s signature Body Contouring Procedure aims to create tissue laxity correction to all three dimensions of the body. This involves resolving both vertical and circumferential laxity, as well as correcting the dimension of projection and contour. This third dimension is most applicable to the breasts, the lower back, the buttocks and the abdomen.
In most cases, Dr. Agha carries out his “High-definition Body Contouring” in 2 stages. This involves about 16 hours of team surgery in total. With the help of trained physician assistants, Dr. Agha can execute each stage of the procedure in about 7-8 hours. Depending on the patient’s desire or what produces the best outcome, one stage will address the lower body and another stage the upper half. Dr. Argha takes a three dimensional approach when performing the lower body lift. He begins the procedure at the patient’s back. First liposuction is performed on the upper back rolls. This liposuctioned fat is then collected in a sterile container, washed with antibiotics and prepared for injection into the buttock area as small droplets for buttock lipoaugmentation (otherwise known as the Brazilian Butt lift)or Brazilian Butt lift. Through this approach the projection and contour of the lower buttock regions are enhanced. The upper and lower incisions of the circumferential abdominoplasty are then made on the lower back and the upper buttock, respectively. Between the two incisions, the tissue of the lower back is then mobilized as flaps for augmentation of the upper buttock region. Appropriately sized pockets are then created under the upper buttock regions for flap accommodation. Then, the buttock is lifted and the incisions are closed through absorbable sutures that are placed internally. This approach allows buttock sag and laxity to be corrected, incorporating the excess tissue from your lower back to replace any lost volume. As a result, buttock projection that defines feminine beauty and sensuality is returned and sometimes even enhanced.
Many patients discover a fuller and curvier buttock than ever before. Dr. Agha then proceeds with the lower body lift procedure by performing the outer thigh lift. The outer thigh tissue is selectively undermined as far as the knee region using a special instrument. It is then elevated and secured at a higher position with deep stitches. Next, he turns his attention to the region of the thigh below the buttocks. To correct laxity of the thigh back, Dr Agha has designed an innovative procedure that he has termed the Spiral thighplasty. This procedure corrects for the thigh laxity starting below the buttock area. The excess upper thigh tissue is removed at the buttock fold, and the thigh is elevated to a higher position. Once the thigh is secured to the underlying tissues in this new position, the buttock fold is carefully reconstructed. All skin incisions are then closed, and the patient is rotated on the bed and placed on her back with ample help.
Dr. Agha then completes the circumferential abdominoplasty in the front, followed by completion of the Spiral thighplasty. Unlike other thigh lift procedures, the Spiral thighplasty reduces the thigh excess in both a vertical as well as circumferential dimension. Most of Dr. Agha’s patients notice a marked reduction in their thigh measurements as well as in their overall size. The hallmark of Dr. Agha’s approach is return of a three-dimensional contour to the body, as well as carefully placed incisions located low on the abdomen and obscured by a bikini. This combination of procedures can take anywhere from 7 to 8 hours of surgery.
During the subsequent stage, the remaining body contouring procedures, including an extended arm lift (brachioplasty), an upper body lift, and breast reshaping, are completed. This combination of procedures can take anywhere from 6 to 7 hours of surgery. It is best to proceed with the second stage once all the incisions of the first stage are fully healed and the nutritional reserves of the patient replaced. In Dr. Agha’s practice, most patients typically wait between 3 to 6 months for the second stage. The extended brachioplasty corrects for the significant laxity of arm skin and tissue. The upper body lift can be performed as a vertical incision on the outer chest, or a horizontal incision on the back. The choice depends on the degree of back tissue laxity, the orientation of the laxity and the patient’s personal preferences and aversions of scars. Finally, he finishes the breast reshaping as described above.
During both the upper and lower body lift, Dr. Argha uses liposuction to contour and sculpt the underlying tissue to a desired three-dimensional form.
