Central Kentucky Plastic Surgery, PLLC

Everyone wants a flat and firmer abdomen. Pregnancies, weight gain and weight loss can leave a woman's abdomen stretched, scarred, loose and sagging. Many men also suffer from unsightly fat around the stomach, waist and love-handles. Both men and women have areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Body contouring is the surgical alteration of the body shape or form. Liposuction removes excess fat, tummy tucks remove excess fat and skin, and tighten the stomach muscles, and thigh and buttock lifts recontour the thighs and buttocks.

If you are considering a medical procedure to enhance your appearance, these web pages will give you a basic understanding of common procedures. These pages are intended only as an introduction. You can continue exploration with an in-office consultation with Dr. Christopher A. Marek. After an examination and evaluation, we can better tailor the surgical procedure for your particular condition or anatomic problem.

	Arm Lift Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) is is a plastic surgery procedure designed to remove redundant, flabby, and sagging skin folds of the upper arms. An Arm Lift can help restore a person’s ability to wear blouses and shirts comfortably, to show their arms without feeling self-conscious, and to conduct their lives with greater freedom and confidence.
	Body Lift and Bariatric Procedures A Body Lift offers a dramatic transformation of the mid and lower body. It is a resculpting of the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks. Broken into its components, the lower body lift includes a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), a thigh lift, and a buttock lift. The body lift procedure is performed on post bariatric patients as well as patients who have not had weight loss. The body lift transforms patients that have experienced massive weight loss and have excess skin. However, results are just as dramatic in patients who in addition to a tummy tuck want a tightening of the skin in their thighs and buttocks.
	Liposuction Liposuction is the most common plastic surgery procedure. The reason is simple: many of us have body areas which we wish were thinner. Dr. Marek has made patients happy by reducing unsightly lumps and bumps that do not respond to exercise or diet. Many of our patients have reported a new confidence that allows them to return to the gym, clothing stores, and the beach. You're invited to schedule your complimentary personal consultation to see actual patient photos and share your goals with Dr. Marek.
	Thigh Lift Some people have excess skin and fat of the thighs. People who have lost large amounts of weight often have hanging or loose skin in their thighs. This is especially true for people who have had gastric bypass surgery and massive weight loss. A Thigh Lift can help with these problems. During the procedure, excess skin and fat of the inner thighs are removed. This results in an improved contour of the thigh.
	Tummy Tuck Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) is a procedure for patients that have loose skin, stretch marks and loose abdominal muscles due to pregnancy, loss of weight or aging. With a full abdominoplasty, excess abdominal skin is removed from the lower portion of the abdomen below the belly button, the abdominal muscles are tightened and the belly button is repositioned in the new tightened skin.
