Liposuction Toronto

One of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures, liposuction sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, chin, cheeks, neck and upper arms that have not responded to diet and exercise.

Dr. Wanzel most often uses the tumescent technique when performing liposuction. With this approach, anesthetic solution is injected into the areas to be treated. This liquid causes the compartments of fat to be more easily aspirated with the suction cannula device. It also helps reduce postoperative discomfort, bruising and swelling as compared to traditional methods.

Depending on the amount of fat to be removed, liposuction may be performed under local or general anesthetic. Similarly, it may also be performed as an outpatient or require one night's hospital stay.

Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Toronto

With age and/or weight loss, upper arm skin can become loose and flabby. An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove loose skin, tighten the remaining skin and remove excess fat deposits in the upper arm. This procedure is often combined with liposuction in the area to offer the best aesthetic result.

The scar is hidden either in the axilla or along the length of the upper inner arm, depending on the degree of excess skin and its laxity. It is usually performed under general anesthetic and as an outpatient procedure.

Vaginal Tightening Toronto

Following childbirth, many women develop laxity of vaginal tissues and weakness of the pelvic floor muscles. This laxity can often be undesirable and some women may also experience decreased sensation during sexual activity.

During a vaginal tightening procedure (or vaginoplasty), the excess vaginal tissue is removed and the pelvic floor muscles are tightened to restore the vagina to its original caliber. The incisions and resultant scars are hidden within the vagina and are not visible from the outside. It is performed under general anesthesia and is most commonly done as an outpatient procedure.
