First, you will meet with Dr. Tehmina to share your concerns and discuss the results that you hope to achieve. This will be followed by a review of your medical history and a focused physical exam. Dr.Tehmia will then go over the risks and activity restrictions, and give you time to ask questions. 

Prior to the surgery, you will fill out consent forms. General anesthesia will be administered, and we recommend that you arrange to have someone drive you to and from the appointments.

If liposuction is being performed, the procedure will consist of a number of small incisions, followed by the insertion of the liposuction instrument, which is used to aspirate/remove specific amounts of targeted fatty tissues. For surgical tightening, a horizontal incision will be made along the top of the area, and excess skin will be removed. The incisions will then be sutured and dressed, and a compression garment will be applied.
