In patients with massive weight loss of more than 25-30 kg particularly after bariatric surgeries such as sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bands or bypass, there is excess skin flabs and loose skin in the tummy. Tummy tuck is indicated in such patients where excess skin is removed along with any excess or residual fatty tissue.

Breast Implant Breast Implant Delhi, India Every woman desires her body to be perfectly proportionate and has a healthy and trim figure. Often, we go to great lengths to lose weight and get in a healthier shape all around but we fail to realize that the loss in body weight (fat) also results in the loss in volume of the breast tissue, which causes sagging or drooping breasts which are undesirable. At Cocoona, we understand your need to look youthful and attractive with a truly proportionate body from head to toe. The advance and efficient breast implant surgery at Cocoona helps you regain a young and more appealing upper body. What are Breast Implants? Breast implants are most helpful in reshaping the breasts to desired size and shape. This is usually required after a mastectomy for breast cancer (which removes the breast completely) as well as to reconstruct breasts in order to correct a congenital (birth) defect that affects the breast shape and size. Breast implants are increasingly being used for gaining a more full and curvy figure to the upper body.

Body Procedures also called “Body contouring” or “Body Sculpting” are terms that apply to a number of surgery options that can reshape and improve nearly any part of the body. Body sculpting or contouring procedures can help improve definition and create a more proportionate body for individuals who are anxious about loose skin, excess fat, or other concerns. The most common and popular body procedure is liposuction. (Also known as “lipoplasty” or “suction lipectomy”) This procedure sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat from areas around the thighs, knees, buttocks, waist, hips, abdomen, chin, cheeks, neck and upper arms. Liposuction can help patients achieve dramatic results all over the body. The procedure normally lasts one to two hours and patients are usually able to return to work within two weeks. Liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise, but the procedure can eliminate areas of fat that are unresponsive to typical weight-loss methods. Lower Body Lift is a body procedure that generally targets a person`s thighs and lower abdomen to improve the appearance of the lower body with little scarring. After extreme weight loss or pregnancy, many people are left with excess skin that can be embarrassing and unattractive. During the lower body lift procedure, a plastic surgeon trims away excess skin to reveal a more toned, attractive figure. The thighs are a problem area for many men and women because they are so difficult to tone. During the thigh lift procedure, the surgeon removes excess skin and tissue from the upper and inner thighs to produce a thinner, more attractive leg. This body procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. Depending on the area of the thigh to be lifted, an incision is made around the thigh in the buttock crease and near the groin, to minimize the appearance of scarring.

What Is Liposuction? Suction assisted lipectomy or liposuction is one of the most popular means of body contouring techniques in cosmetic surgeries. A number of important modifications to the standard suction assisted liposuction including UAL (ultrasound assisted liposuction),PAL (power assisted liposuction), VASER and laser assisted liposuction are available today. Prior to liposuction, a pre-operative marking is done with the patient in an erect position. In patients undergoing total body liposuction or contouring, marking can be done one day prior. Areas to be suctioned are marked with a circle. Incisions are placed in hidden areas and are approximately 3mm to 4mm in length. Why Should I Choose Liposuction? Liposuction is mainly used to improve appearance, rather than providing any physical health benefits. Most people would probably achieve the same or better results by adopting a healthful lifestyle, with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and a healthy sleep schedule. Liposuction is normally advised only if lifestyle changes have not achieved the desired results. It can treat areas of fat that are resistant to exercise and diet. When an individual gains weight, each fat cell increases in size and volume. Liposuction reduces the number of fat cells in isolated areas.

If you are struggling with fat, weight gain and diet program not giving the desired results you’d like, VASER liposuction can help. VASER is a high definition precise Ultra Sound technology for Liposuction to deliver amazing results in one procedure without discomfort and quick recovery time. The VASER technology targets the FAT while protecting tissues from damage. VASER is clinically proven to produce even and smooth results for your body. How VASER works? VASER technology produces sound energy to melt the fat. A small probes generates the sound wave which breaks the fat that comes in contact with it inside the body. This liquidates the fat, which can then be easily removed via suction from the treated area. VASER and VINTX instruments are used for liposuction procedure to give high standard results. At Cocoona, the available VASER is the most advanced version and allows our doctors to provide world-class results.

Liposculpturing is a technique used for improving body contours and removing stubborn fat from specific areas. The procedure is especially suited for face, neck, abdomen, arms, buttocks and thighs contouring. At Cocoona, we specialize in Ultrasound Assisted Liposculpturing (UAL). In this procedure, a tumescent fluid is injected into the concerned area. A special probe is then used to emit ultrasound energy that liquefies the fat, which is then suctioned out through an incision using a cannula. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, and a session lasts for anything between 30 minutes to 4 hours depending on the amount of fat. Cocoona also uses RFAL (radiofrequency assisted liposuction) using BodyLite technology that not only helps to remove fat but helps in skin tightening considerably. It is an internally skin tightening technology that lifts the skin and prevents skin sagging and unevenness. The procedure has an advantage of minimal anesthesia requirement and hence early recovery. Better techniques and specialized instruments have made Liposculpturing a very safe and efficient means of fat removal.

Bariatric surgeries are been opted by super obese people and it works in most of the cases and they are losing weight. Massive amount of weight is lost post surgery.

At Cocoona, we believe FAT is the future for augmentation. Be it your face, butt, chest, calves, biceps, abs, or other body parts – more and more people are embracing Fat Grafting / Fat Transfer as the augmentation surgery of choice. There are a number of approaches used by plastic surgeons around the world for body parts augmentation. Fat transfer / fat grafting is fast gaining popularity and we believe it is here to stay. The debate that implants are plastic and foreign has been going for a long time. The fear that most people have is what will happen if the implants break or if the body body rejects them. Though it’s just a fear and medical science over the years has evolved, and a good implant from a good company, and by a good surgeon, will not break or cause other issues, people still worry over having a foreign object in their bodies. While fat grafting is the future, it does not mean implants will die. They both are here to stay. Fat grafting has limitations like – percentage of acceptability. It is, after all, the patient’s own body fat and he/she can burn it over time. In addition to that, there are surgery cases wherein a surgeon has to work with both fat and implants. This is called as “Composite augmentation” and is applicable in both breasts and buttocks. For example – in the case of Brazilian Butt Lift or buttock augmentation (also called gluteal enhancement or gluteal augmentation) – depending on the volume desired, a surgeon may need both the implants and the fat transfer. Similarly in breast augmentation, we often use both – this is called composite breast enlargement. Over the last few years fat grafting has made significant advances, making it an increasingly preferred augmentation choice for patients today.

Arm Liposuction/ Arm Lift Surgery/ Brachioplasty Arm Lift or Brachioplasty Fluctuations in weight, age and even heredity issues can cause one’s upper arms to have a drooping, sagging appearance. It’s a problem that affects millions of women around the world, and cannot be addressed with exercise or other such remedies. If the underside of your under arms are sagging or appear loose due to excess skin and fat, then an arm lift may be right for you! An arm lift or brachioplasty, also referred to as arm liposuction does the following: Reduces excess skin and fat between the underarm and the elbow Reshapes your arm for smoother skin and contours Gives you a toned and proportionate appearance In this procedure incisions are generally made either on the inside of the arm or on the back. Incision length and pattern depend on the location of excess skin to be removed, in some instances the surgery can extend from the underarm (axilla) to just above the elbow. Fat deposits are excised or treated with liposuction. After the surgery the arm is wrapped in bandages or a compression garment to minimize swelling. In case of an extensive surgery a small, thin tube is temporarily placed under the skin to drain excess blood or fluids. Minimal Incision Technique: At Cocoona, we specialize in the Minimal Incision Technique (MIT) of arm lift surgery or arm liposuction, which delivers the same results as traditional arm lift with minimum of incisions. This method is ideal for individuals with moderate skin laxity and it is often combined with Liposculpturing to ensure the best possible results.

Excess skin, whether on the face, neck, chest, abdomen, sides, thighs or arms can disfigure appearances like nothing else. This is where body lift procedures can help. These procedures are designed to remove excess folds of skin and streamline body silhouette. Body lift usually follows Liposuction, in which it is used for removal of excess skin from around the stomach region to give a slimmer, toned appearance. In body lift surgery, performed on the abdomen, excess fat and skin are removed, and the walls of the stomach muscles are tightened. The procedure uses Superficial Fascia Suspension System (SFS) – via the dynamic Lockwood’s procedure – to elevate tissues, and hold the entire sculpture together to give a more upright and youthful appearance. The procedure is also used for thigh lifts, buttock lifts, and sculpting the entire body in a band around the waist, including belt lipectomy.

In advanced cases, depending on the stage of life the mother is and the number of babies she has, we will also recommend to include a facelift, or suggest breast augmentation or it could be simple non-surgical face contouring.

Some mothers only require a tummy tuck and some don’t need any procedures, simple exercises can help them get back to the pre-pregnancy appearance. It all depends on person to person.

Buttock Augmentation or Gluteal augmentation The concept of buttock or gluteal augmentation has evolved over decades. Earlier buttock augmentation meant just increasing n the size of buttock like in breast augmentation using silicone filler implants. The modern concept is based on buttock sculpting or gluteal sculpting to enhance the shape rather than size only. We do both, we augment and contour the buttock to ensure the result is simply the best. Buttock in men and women behaves differently. In women either some are born with small underdeveloped buttock muscles and fat or the shape changes with time due to weight fluctuation and aging. The problems in gluteal / buttock region can be basically classified into- Underdeveloped or hypoplastic or “flat” buttocks Contour loss or altered shape of buttocks Underdeveloped buttocks may be due to lack of adequate gluteal muscles or lack of gluteal fat pads. It may also be due to altered shape of lower spine i.e. lack of Lordosis ( curvature of spine and pelvis that gives shape to the buttock region). People who are born with exaggerated lordosis of lower spine have naturally round buttocks. Buttock undergoes a lot of volume and aging changes. Loss of weight due to pregnancy or excessive dieting may resort the fat in the buttock region causing sagging of buttocks. In some people abnormal deposits of fat around the buttock changes the shape of the buttock.

Laser Liposuction Delhi, India If you have saddle bags , double chin, sagging arms, laser lipo is a lunch time procedure performed in the clinic, its a walk in, walk out procedure. Traditionally, liposuction has been conducted by removing the fat from a person’s body by means of a surgical tube. Excess fat was pumped out of the body and the body was reformed into something sleeker. This same concept is now carried out by means of a medical laser and the body procedure is known as laser lipo. Before the procedure Laser liposuction is best suited for people who are severely obese and have no other alternative working suitably for them. It works for most people, but if you have some special condition or some particular trait, then it is advisable to inform your doctor about this before the procedure.

Unlike the classic brow lifts, in endoscopic forehead lift our surgeons make only four or five small scalp incisions, each less than an inch in length. An endoscopic tool (a sophisticated miniature camera device mounted on a flexible probe) connected to a television monitor, is inserted through one of the incisions. The endoscopic camera allows our surgeons to view the muscles and tissues beneath the skin and plan the most effective and efficient course of action. Next our surgeons use specially designed surgical instruments (which are inserted through the other incisions), to lift the forehead skin and work on the underlying muscles and tissues. The tool allows our surgeons to remove or changed the excess tissue and muscle to produce a smoother, more appreciable appearance. It is quick, easy and in comparison to a normal brow lift, relatively less painful. When the lift is complete, the scalp incisions area closed with the help of stitches or clips. As in the case of classic forehead lift, gauze or an elastic bandage may be used to cover the operated area. Most endoscopic patients return to their daily routine in less than 2-4 days.

Neck undergoes lot of changes with age. The factors that aggravate aging process in the neck include: Fluctuation in the weight Inadequate water intake (as in some athletes) Excessive sun exposure Inadequate moisturizers and sun protection There are four areas of concern in the neck: Skin laxity and wrinkling Muscle laxity Fat pockets Texture of skin with freckles, fine wrinkles, pigmentation Procedures for neck rejuvenation include: Laser Lipo neck This is performed under local anesthesia and the fat pockets under the chin, jowls area and jawline areas are liquefied and removed. Postoperatively chin support garment is worn for 5-6 days continuously and at least 2 weeks when at home. Postoperatively using technologies such as LPG, powershape etc can help to contour the neck. CO2 laser resurfacing Fractionated CO2 laser resurfacing is a procedure performed under topical anesthesia. It helps to reduce the freckles, pigmentation and improve some fine lines. Silhouette thread lift This is performed under local anesthesia. A small incision is made in the hair line. A specialized thread is passed under the skin from the scalp area to the side of the mouth. Multiple threads are used in different directions to catch the excess skin. The threads are then pulled up carrying the excess skin and it is tied in the scalp area. This gives an immediate lift in the mid face, jowl and neck areas. There is minimum downtime in most patients. The results last for few years in some patient. It has risk of thread disruption and a need to repeat the procedure. Neck lift This is a surgical procedure either perfumed indoor general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation (twilight sedation). It is either performed as part of the face lift or only as neck lift. It can be modified depending upon the condition and patient expectation.

A forehead lift, also referred to as a “brow lift” is a surgical procedure designed to restore a more youthful look to the area above the eyes. The procedure corrects drooping brows and improves the horizontal lines and creases that are usually associated with age. A forehead lift mostly targets the age bracket of 40 to 60 year olds, and is especially suited to help those tormented by frown lines or furrows due to strain or muscle activity. It is generally used to correct conditions, like low, heavy brow or furrowed lines just above the nose. Forehead lift is commonly performed in conjunction with a facelift/mid facelift or eyelid surgery. For most patients, a coronal incision will do. The procedure involves making a headphone-like incision, starting at about ear level and running across the top of the forehead and down the other side of the head. Working through the incision, our experts carefully lift the skin of the forehead so that the underlying tissue can be removed and the muscles changed to meet the required specifications. During this procedure eyebrows are also elevated, while excess skin at the incision points is trimmed to help create a smoother, more young-looking appearance. The incision is then closed with stitches or clips. Dressing and bandages are optional; however the doctor can insist on it if he feels you need it for healing. The incision is commonly made behind the hairline to obscure visibility. In patients who are bald or losing hair, a scalp incision that follows the natural pattern of the skull bones is used. The procedure has a down time of no more than one week. In fact, you should be able to shower and shampoo your hair within two days, or as soon as the bandage is removed.
