Procedures:
Thigh Lift Procedure: A thigh lift (thighplasty) is a cosmetic procedure that can enhance the contours and tone of the thighs by removing excess fat and loose skin. This procedure is suitable for those who have lost a significant amount of weight, and full results can be seen after six months.
Knee Lift: Aging is a normal process that affects all parts of the body. Wrinkles and sagging skin around the knees can be noticeable and, although not as popular as other procedures, there are minimally invasive techniques to tighten the knees without significant loss of skin elasticity.
Calf Implant: Calf implants give the calf muscles a more defined and contoured shape. These implants can make the calf muscles appear fuller and more muscular. Typically, they are placed through small incisions in the back of the knees.
Fat Injection in Hip Dips: Fat grafting is a procedure that uses fat from the body itself to enhance shape and appearance. In the case of “hip dips”, fat is injected to add more volume to the lower part of the legs.
Phlebectomy/Vein Removal: Phlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove varicose veins just below the skin’s surface. It uses small incisions to extract the varicose vein in sections, with minimal discomfort and recovery time.
These procedures offer various options to enhance appearance and comfort, from thigh lift to calf implant surgery and advanced techniques such as AirSculpt® on the knees. Dr. Rosario-Aloma aims to provide effective and personalized solutions for his patients.
