Emsculpt is the secret behind JLO’s Abs

by Leave a Comment

In our recent trend report we revealed that 21% of patients voted Jennifer Lopez as the celebrity body that they most aspired too. Having celebrated her 50th birthday this year, Jennifer Lopez’s front runner position is a clear demonstration of the desire for health and fitness, over mere youth when it comes to body shape.

However, it has been reported that Jennifer Lopez’s body is not just down to intense workouts, she has been having daily Emsculpt treatment sessions.

What is Emsculpt?

Emsculpt is a non-surgical body shaping and fat reduction treatment that builds and strengthens muscles in the areas treated which could include the stomach/abdomen, buttocks/butt lift, upper arms/biceps/triceps, thighs and calves.

The treatment contracts the muscles beyond what is possible through physical training which results in improved muscle tone and enhanced fat metabolism.

What are the benefits of Emsculpt?

  • 19% reduction of fat
  • 4cm /1.5-inch loss in waistline circumference
  • 16% increase in muscle mass
  • 11% reduction in abdominal muscle separation / diastasis recti
  • 5 x increase in fat metabolism (apoptotic index increased from 19% to 92% after treatment)
  • 80% patients with visible lifting effect of buttocks
  • 96% patient satisfaction

How does Emsculpt work?

Emsculpt uses High Intensity Focused Electro-Magnetic Technology (HIFEM) which induces powerful supramaximal muscle contractions in the body. These supramaximal contractions make the muscle tissue adapt by remodelling the inner structure which encourages muscle building and fat loss.

HIFEM technology is said to induce 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions in 30 minutes. One 30-minute procedure is equivalent to 20,000 sit-ups and squats!

According to Woman’s Day magazine (NZ); Jennifer Lopez is a keen fan of the muscle building treatment and confirms that she will be continuing treatment well into her 60s and 70s to ensure she still has the best abs in Hollywood.

Consultant Plastic Surgeon, Mr Adrian Richards, MBBS, MSc, FRCS (Plast.) GMC Number: 3286812 has recently published a report in the Volume 7/Issue 1 December 2019 issue of Aesthetic Journal which is a monthly journal for medical aesthetic professionals.

Mr Adrian Richards specialises in a breast implant removal technique known as Breast Auto Augmentation or MIRAR. The technique involves removing the implant and using the patients own natural breast tissue to reshape and enhance the breast shape

“Results are achieved by relocating the patient’s own breast tissue into the upper portion of the breast to give the desired lifting and shaping effect, without the need for an implant. I’m finding that the procedure is producing some lovely, natural results”

Benefits of a breast auto-augmentation include;

  • Improving the shape of your breasts without an implant
  • Increasing the fullness of the upper breast
  • Correcting sagging of the breast
  • Lifting the breasts into a more youthful position
  • No added weight of an implant
  • A natural implant is achieved

Mr Adrian Richards is a plastic and cosmetic surgeon with more than 15 years’ experience in plastic surgery in both the NHS and private clinics. He is a member of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) and was named as one of the world’s Top 100 Most Influential Cosmetic Doctors by international cosmetic surgery website RealSelf.

What is a Breast Auto Augmentation

by Leave a Comment

One of the biggest concerns following an implant removal is drooping of the breast or loss of volume particular in the upper portion of the breast. This can often cause patients to avoid breast implant removal surgery or seek implant replacement which may not be what they want.

It is always hard to tell what a patients breasts are going to look like following an implant removal procedure as every patient will heal differently. It is possible for your breasts to return to how they were prior to your original breast augmentation procedure but this is unlikely to occur instantly and will be a gradual process over time.

For some patients it may be over optimistic to expect this to happen, especially if you have had implants for a number or years and if they are particularly big in size which may have caused the skin to stretch. In cases like this a breast auto augmentation may be recommended.

What is Breast Enlargement Auto Augmentation Surgery

Previously, in order to correct breast sagging following an implant removal procedure, a breast uplift / mastopexy would have been suggested.

A breast uplift is a cosmetic procedure, where the excess skin from the breast is removed so that the remaining skin can be tightened and the nipple moved to a higher position, resulting in a firmer appearance. This is a great option following a breast implant removal however surgeons have since discovered a new technique called a breast auto augmentation which allows them to restore lost volume to the upper portion of the chest without the need for an implant.

A breast auto augmentation is commonly mistaken for a mastopexy or breast uplift procedure. Although similar; a breast auto augmentation is more of a breast reconstruction procedure  and uses the natural breast tissue to help increase volume in the upper pole without adding any volume or weight to lower pole.

How a breast auto augmentation works

A breast auto augmentation procedure first starts with an anchor or lollipop shaped incision being created from around the areola down to the lower portion of the breast within the inframammary fold.  The breast implant will then be extracted from the breast before the outer layer of excess skin known as the epidermis is removed. The breast tissue from the lower portion of the breast is then rotated up into a new position in the upper portion of the chest within the breast pocket. The breast tissue is not cut so as to preserve the blood supply, but it is instead secured into place on the chest wall and upper breast tissue. The nipple and areola is then relocated to a higher position before any excess skin is removed and the incision is closed with absorbable stitches. The result is a more youthful-looking shape and appearance to the breasts.

A guide to liposuction

by Leave a Comment

What is liposuction?

Liposuction is a procedure designed to remove deposits of fat from the body to help the patient achieve a more sculpted and improved shape.

How to choose a liposuction surgeon?

The best results from liposuction often come from choosing an expert surgeon. We advise anyone considering liposuction to fully research surgeons to find one that not only will perform liposuction safely but also help you achieve the results that you desire. You should be looking for their qualifications, ask how many procedures they have performed, ask about their commonly performed areas and ask to see their before and after photos and seek out patients that have a similar ‘before’ body to you to see what results to expect.

Who is suitable for liposuction?

Liposuction is suitable for both male and female patients who want to reduce the appearance of stubborn areas of fat. Ideally, patients should be close to their ideal weight as although liposuction does remove fat, it is not designed to be a weight loss method.

Patients considering liposuction should also have good skin elasticity in order for the skin to contract to the new contours of the body once the fat is removed. For patients with large areas of sagging skin especially after weight loss, a tummy tuck or body lift procedure may be more suitable.

For other patients who may decide Liposuction is not for them, we offer CoolSculpting at our clinics in Manchester, Leeds, Bristol, London Marylebone and Stoke Poges in Buckinghamshire. CoolSculpting is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to target fat cells in the areas being treated which once frozen, the body will then naturally process and remove from the body. To find out more, book a free consultation at a clinic near you.

What are the Different types of liposuction?

There is a huge variety of different liposuction treatment and techniques out there to choose from. The main differences between them are the technology used to assist with the fat removal process. Different surgeons may favour one technique over another but which one gives the best results often purely comes down to the expertise of the surgeon performing it.

At The Private Clinic we offer;

Surgical Liposuction – Surgical liposuction is also referred to as liposculpture, suction-assisted lipectomy and traditional liposuction as it was one of the first techniques used for liposuction. Surgical liposuction uses a suction technique to remove fat from the body. It can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck for example which would be a Brazilian Tummy Tuck.

Vaser Liposuction – Vaser liposuction is one of our most commonly performed procedures. It uses ultrasound technology to liquefy the fat cells before they are then removed through a gentle suction process.

Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction – Vaser Hi-Def is best for patients who want to achieve a more sculpted and athletic appearance to their body. The technique removes both superficial and deep fat surrounding the muscles to enhance the visibility of the underlying muscles.

Vaser Mid-Def Liposuction – The Vaser Mid-Def technique is midway between standard vaser liposuction and hi-def. It works to bring out a slight bit of definition and shadowing but with a much softer finish in comparison to vaser hi-def.

Vaser 4D – Vaser 4d Liposculpt is an advanced form of vaser liposuction. The technique carefully removes fat whilst defining your underlying muscles and significantly improving your overall proportion.

Vaser 360 – The Vaser 360 technique is best for patients who are having liposuction on their legs. The treatment targets the buttock crease, thighs, upper legs and knees for a full circumferential toned and firmer appearance to the legs.

Micro Lipo – Micro lipo is a technique that can be used in the majority of the liposuction procedures mentioned above. Micro lipo refers to the size of the cannulas used to perform the procedure. For a procedure to be classified as micro lipo, the cannulas need to be within 0.9mm and 3mm wide.

Where can you have liposuction?

Liposuction can be performed in a variety of areas including the neck, chin, arms/bingo wings, male chest/gynecomastia, back, tummy/abdomen, male torso, flanks/love handles, buttocks, hips, knees, ankles and the inner and outer thighs.

It is possible to treat more than one area at once although generally no more than 3 litres of fat should be removed within one session.

What does Liposuction involve?

Liposuction is performed in theatre either within the clinic you had your consultation at, or at a separate hospital. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and most often with sedation so you should not feel any pain or discomfort throughout the procedure.

Small micro incisions will be made close to the areas that are being treated and in most cases, tumescent fluid will be injected to expand the tissue layer. During vaser liposuction, a small probe will be inserted which will emit ultrasonic energy which will vibrate and selectively break apart the fatty tissue on contact. Cannulas are then inserted and moved in a back and forth motion to remove the fat with a suction device. Once the treatment is complete, bandages will be applied to the incisions and a compression garment will put on the areas treated on which will need to be worn 24 hours a day for the first 3 weeks following the procedure, and then for at least 6 hours a day for another 3 weeks.

In some cases, drains may be used to remove any pus, blood or other fluids from the wound. These will remain in place for up to 5 days before being removed by the surgeon or their nursing team in clinic.

Liposuction Aftercare

Every patient will heal differently and we encourage patients to slowly get back to their usual routines as soon as they feel fit to do so following surgery. Overall, we usually advise patients to allow 2-3 weeks of general recovery for liposuction. Patients should try to keep their activity levels up during the recovery of liposuction, for example, taking a daily walk to help to assist in the drainage of any fluid. We also recommend MLD massage treatments to help aid your recovery which can be organised with your surgeon. Exercise and other more strenuous activities, however, should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks following surgery based on the advice of your surgeon.

Liposuction for buttock reshaping

by Leave a Comment

Buttock shape trends have varied in shape, size and style for centuries, women of the 50s embraced their curves and larger bums were desired in comparison to the 60s where a slimmer and flatter shaped behind was preferred.

Celebrities such as Nicki Minaj and Kim Kardashian have caused the media to celebrate the appearance of larger buttocks and whilst the trends are going to continue to change, as it stands a shapelier and toned behind is now the favoured look.

In recent times, we have become more fitness aware, eating healthier and working out more to help us achieve our desired appearance goals but there are times where no matter how many squats and protein we consume, we may still struggle with certain areas and require a little bit of additional help.

We have a variety of different options at The Private Clinic for buttock reshaping including;

  • Vaser liposuction is known for being able to help with areas of stubborn fat all over the body but many are unaware of its contouring ability, particularly for buttock reshaping.
  • Micro Lipo gets its name from the tiny size of the cannulas used to extract the fat, the smallest of which is just 0.9mm wide and the largest of which is 3mm. Micro-liposuction can be a variation of Vaser Lipo for small and precise areas.

Patients who are bottom-heavy often find it can have a negative impact on their overall appearance of often complain of struggling to find clothes to fit right and instead favour an evener weight distribution across the body. It is not just women of course that seek buttock reshaping treatment, many men have also expressed an interest and vaser liposuction or micro lipo for buttock contouring is an effective treatment for men and women.

What is Buttock reshaping with Vaser Liposuction?

Vaser or micro liposuction is ideal for the buttock, buttocks crease and hips as it is able to target the specific area removing the unwanted fat and sculpting your body to achieve a more defined body shape without the need for fat transfer.

The aim of buttock reshaping with liposuction is not to only remove the fat but to reshape the area too. During the procedure, fat is selectively removed from the outer region of the buttocks which helps to narrow the buttocks. Fat is also removed from the upper portion of the buttocks and lower back which lengthens the natural curve of the back and shortens the overall height of the buttock. Fat can also be removed from the flanks which reduces the square appearance of the buttocks. Each buttock reshaping case will be individual and tailored specifically for each patient. At The Private Clinic, we aim to help you to achieve a result that looks natural and complements your body type.

How is buttock reshaping with vaser liposuction different to a Brazilian butt lift?

Buttock reshaping with vaser or micro liposuction is used to reduce and reshape the size and form of the buttocks. A Brazilian butt lift usually involves removing fat from other areas of the body and then injecting the fat back into the buttock area. This procedure comes with a large number of risks which is why it is not performed here at The Private Clinic.

Is buttock reshaping permanent?

Vaser liposuction and micro lipo are surgical procedures so the results are designed to be permanent. The procedures remove and redistribute fat cells from the areas treated on your body. Generally, you do not tend to grow new fat cells within the body – however, if you were to gain weight, although it may not form in your buttocks like it previously may have – the fat instead will be distrusted more evenly through the body. Overall, we recommend that patients stick to their ideal weight post-surgery as any weight gain may have an impact on the final results of your surgery.
