Three-plus ways that our practice distinguishes itself from other plastic surgery providers in Alys Beach
Bluewater Plastic Surgery appreciates that you have many options when searching for a “plastic surgeon near me” in the Alys Beach, Florida, area. However, practices can vary considerably in their breadth and depth of expertise and the techniques and technologies used to support treatment.
You can trust that your liposuction procedure is in exceptional hands with Dr. Steven J. Clark. Dr. Clark is a Board-certified plastic surgeon with over a quarter of a century of experience in the field. He is also among the select few Board-certified practitioners to maintain membership with the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, awarded only to those specialists who have demonstrated the highest level of training in cosmetic surgery. The distinctions between our practice and other providers and offices do not stop there.
Advanced techniques
Dr. Clark has invested in an array of technologies and training to support state-of-the-art approaches to “conventional” surgeries. These alternatives include ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL). This “twist” on traditional liposuction involves using sound waves (the ultrasound part) to break up the fat. This approach to liquefying unwanted fat allows Dr. Clark’s artistry to really shine. He can then better sculpt the targeted area and do so in a more controlled and precise manner.
Additionally, removing fat and recontouring areas with UAL facilitates dramatic improvements. It is also associated with minimal risks when compared to liposuction treatment alone. These additional benefits include minimized bleeding and trauma to treated tissues, as well as reduced bruising in fibrous areas. Simply, it promotes tremendous improvements and a better experience for the patient, especially when removing a large volume of fat via liposuction.
PATIENT RESULTS
Versatility
We use a combination of ultrasound or ultrasonic liposuction and conventional lipo in all of our body contouring treatments. These approaches allow for a great deal of flexibility, as UAL may be used as an adjunct to tighten a lax tummy or paunch, recontour the thighs and buttocks, and address areas of localized fat deposits that are notoriously resistant to the effects of diet and exercise alone. “Treatable” areas include the breasts, upper arms or “bat wings,” abdomen/trunk, hips and the submental area (under the chin.) Depending on the treatment site, Dr. Clark may carefully aspirate the fat with a thin, hollow tube designed to minimize trauma to the skin and tissue surrounding the treatment area.
Putting your best face forward
Additionally, UAL may be appropriate for reshaping lax or poorly defined areas of the chin and neck. Our patients have many options, and the best option for you depends on factors such as the nature of your concerns. For instance, is excess fat really to blame? Or is lax skin a bigger issue? Dr. Clark is equipped to treat it all and customizes treatment plans to your one-of-a-kind needs. For instance, liposuction on the neck may be a standalone procedure. Or, you can combine it with a neck lift. Here again, your treatment plan is influenced by factors such as needs and the quality of your skin. In youthful and highly elastic skin, neck liposuction alone may get the results that you desire. Among older patients with more significant laxity, neck lifts complement liposuction to tighten sagging skin after fat is removed.
Whatever the case, Dr. Clark prioritizes patient safety, comfort, and minimal-downtime procedures and techniques. Your experience is truly our priority.
