While mastopexy does not primarily aim to reduce breast size, many patients perceive a change in breast volume or fullness after surgery. As the breasts are repositioned to a more rejuvenated location on the chest wall, the procedure also aims to better define the breast contours and minimize a flattened or elongated appearance. This enhancement doesn’t so much make the breasts smaller, more than it generally creates a firmer, rounder, and more proportional look. Understanding how a breast lift works and how the breast shape is refined from our board-certified Orlando aesthetic plastic surgeon can help you set realistic expectations before surgery. A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is one of the most effective procedures for restoring more youthful, elevated breasts. Women often consider... Continue Reading

For many people, liposuction may be erroneously considered a replacement for dieting and exercise, or associated with dramatic body transformations. However, liposuction is actually a premier method of body sculpting that can complement patients’ hardworking efforts in the gym. Given modern aesthetic medicine — especially with today’s more advanced and precise techniques in targeted fat removal — liposuction is increasingly chosen by individuals who are already in great shape.  According to board-certified Orlando plastic surgeon Jon Paul Trevisani, MD, FACS, the patients visiting his practice for body contouring procedures are increasingly runners, lifelong gym enthusiasts, yogis, and strength-training devotees, who often discover that even with clean eating and consistent activity, certain pockets of fat simply do not respond.

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a very popular surgery for men and women looking to achieve a flatter, tighter abdomen after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging. The procedure can achieve a dramatic transformation in your body contours, even offering functional benefits like reducing skin irritation and improving your fit in tight clothing.

Dr. Jon Paul Trevisani, our renowned Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon in Orlando, lists several need-to-know recovery tips following tummy tuck surgery to help ensure a smoother healing process:  Rest in a slightly bent position (like in a reclining chair) to reduce...

Although losing weight can certainly help improve body proportions and mitigate some of the symptoms caused by overly large, heavy breasts, dieting and exercise are not enough to simulate the quality of results provided by breast reduction. Losing weight does not remove the glandular breast tissue causing an excessive breast size, nor does the procedure address loose, sagging skin making the breasts droop. With that in mind, weight loss alone is not necessarily an effective method of reducing your breast size.  The reason why so many people opt for breast reduction is due to the procedure’s ability to comprehensively address the skin, fat, and glandular tissue of the breasts. Unlike natural remedies such as dieting and exercise, a breast reduction can aesthetically:  Remove excess breast... Continue Reading

Having children can be a remarkable gift, but there are several post-pregnancy changes in the breasts and body that linger even after giving birth. Breast lift surgery, a procedure designed to reshape and lift sagging breasts, is an extremely popular treatment option for women who have lost volume and shape in their bust during pregnancy.

While we understand the urge to restore your pre-pregnancy figure as soon as possible, some patience can go a long way in achieving the best possible outcomes after breast lift surgery....
