Liposuction & Cosmetic Surgery

Smartlipo (Laser-Assisted Liposuction)

Smartlipo™ Laser-Assisted Liposuction is a new technique used in performing liposuction.  This technique removes fat by literally melting the fat cells with a laser, while using a small cannula technique to reshape and sculpture your body and bring desired results. The laser-assisted method is gentler than traditional liposuction because the liposuction cannula doesn’t have to have as much force to move through the tissues. Because of this, there is usually less swelling and bruising with laser-assisted liposuction.

Unlike traditional liposuction, you get an effect of skin tightening along with fat removal.  The laser heats the dermal layer, which in turn causes stimulation of the collagen matrix.  More collagen equals a smoother result and skin tightening effect.

This procedure is done in-office using tumescent anesthesia.  By using this method it allows for minimal blood loss and markedly faster recovery times. The patient is aware of the procedure and without the attendant risk of general anesthesia. 

This makes achieving the body you want a whole lot easier. With this revolutionary laser lipolysis treatment you can finally take off those trouble spots dieting just won’t - like in your waist, hips, abdomen, thighs, arms, almost anywhere you desire!

Lipoabdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Abdominoplasty or “Tummy Tuck” surgery remains the most requested elective procedure for those struggling with loose skin or flabby tummies and have not benefited from diet and exercise. This area is aesthetically more complex than just achieving a flat surface, which is why Dr. Schilling is now performing an advanced technique called LIPOABDOMINOPLASTY.

Liposuction, particularly our laser-assisted SmartLipo, allows us to sculpt and define the upper abdominal area, hips and waist creating the true shape you desire. Traditional tummy tuck surgeons often leave too much upper abdominal fat and fail to liposculpt the waist and hips which will typically create the “muffin-top deformity”.  A “muffin-top” occurs when the stomach area is flat but the tissue over the hips bulges.

Lipoabdominoplasty can be performed in our office under local tumescent anesthesia and mild sedatives. This technique creates cost savings and is recognized for patient safety.

Dr. Schilling recommends having this procedure when you are finished with your child-bearing, though having children after the surgery poses no risk. In the contemporary lipoabdominoplasty procedure, you will achieve markedly improved abdominal contour with the concomitant use of liposuction, muscle tightening and loose skin removal.

Breast Enhancement

Many women are considering cosmetic surgery to make themselves feel better about themselves and to make them look better in their clothes.

You are considering breast augmentation surgery. This is a very common procedure, which is performed thousands of times every day across the United States. The procedure consists of making a pocket underneath the breast, between the backside of the breast and the front of the chest. We pay meticulous attention to the shape of this pocket since we try to make the breast look natural. The goal is to give a truly natural contour to the breast and the chest. With implantation, we can also incorporate procedures for elevating the breasts.

Dr. John Schilling can help you plan which surgical approach and implant is best suited to give you a more pleasing appearance. With our mini-incision approach and quick healing, you may wonder why you did not choose this procedure sooner.

An individualized approach to breast enlargement is essential to obtaining a good result. Here, at the Schilling Cosmetic Surgery Center, significant time is spent listening to the patient, educating the patient about their options, and reviewing the aftercare. Our results are determined by not only what the patient wants, but also what her tissues will allow. Since no two patients are the same, the key to a satisfied patient is good communication between the patient and the physician.

For your consultation, feel free to bring in photos of subjects with breasts that are too large, breasts that are too small, and breasts that they would like to have.

The following reasons are the most commonly given for Breast Enhancement:

  • To have breasts that are in proportion to the rest of their body.
  • To regain their pre-pregnancy bust line.
  • To restore breast shape after significant weight loss.
  • To feel as good about themselves on the outside as they do on the inside.
  • To make breasts of different sizes more even.
  • To end years of being self-conscious about their underdeveloped breasts.
  • To feel confident in a bathing suit.
  • To fit into their clothes better.
  • To enhance their job opportunities in the fields of modeling and entertainment.

Fat Transfer/Grafting

One of the natural processes of aging is thinning of the dermal layer of the skin. This loss of fat is what leads to sagging, wrinkled skin. Fat transfer is a solution that can help fill in those areas of loss, to restore skin to a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.

During treatment, fat is removed from one area of your body, such as the abdomen, and then injected into another area of your body, such as the face. Fat transfer is commonly used to fill the cheeks, chin, and bags under the eyes. It has also been used to enhance the buttocks and sometimes the breasts.

It even helps to increase blood circulation by transferring a small concentration of stem cells. When performed properly, a large percentage of the injected fat cells will survive and remain permanently.

Vaginal Rejuvenation

Cosmetic Labiaplasty (labia reduction surgery) involves surgically reducing and/or reshaping the female external genital structures. There are multiple reasons more and more women are requesting this procedure. They want to alleviate discomfort caused by large and/or thick labia, which often interfere with biking, working out, wearing tight fitting clothes. Many women want to enhance or improve appearance of “butterfly” or asymmetrical labia. Feeling good about how you look often builds self-confidence and self-esteem.

Liposuction of Full Abs: “I love my results. I love the way I look in clothes and in bathing suits. The recovery was pretty easy. I was only really down for a day and was still able to take care of my 3 small children. Liposuction with Dr. Schilling was well worth the time and the money.” ~Holly F.

Breast Augmentation: “I have wanted larger breasts for as long as I can remember. Probably since my teenage years. I always hated bathing suit shopping because back then, they were sold with the tops and bottoms as 1 set. I thought it was great when they started selling bottoms and tops separate because there was about a 2-3 size difference in the tops and the bottoms. I could be a size 10 for the bottoms, but needed a 4 or 6 for the top. Breast Augmentation was something I never thought I would actually do. I thought that it would just be on my “want” list forever. Once Dr. Schilling started doing breast augmentation, I knew it was my time to do it. I trusted him COMPLETELY and knew I would be in good hands. I am loving my results. I look so much different but still look very natural. I think the biggest compliments that I’ve received since having breast augmentation is that I now look proportionate. I’ve never been able to wear certain clothing like strapless dresses because I’m larger on the bottom than I am on top. It’s always difficult to find clothing that fits someone who has hips and no breasts. NOW I HAVE BOTH!!! I can’t wait until spring and summer to try on different clothes. I love the difference this has made in my body and my self confidence. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.” ~Shelby H.

Liposuction of upper abs, lower abs, waist: “Dr. Schilling’s staff was fantastic. They kept me informed and put me at ease. After losing some weight, I wanted to be smaller but I really only needed to lose it from my belly. I feel like I got the same results as if I would have had a tummy tuck. I went from a size 12 to a size 7. I am as happy with my figure now as I was before I had children. I feel like I got my body back. Before the surgery I was very inhibited and kept myself up. Now I’m dressing and showing more. I am comfortable in my own skin again. So much so, my husband is chasing me around the house again. The recovery process was great. The fourth day after surgery I was back at work. You can’t see any scars from the procedure.” ~ Katie B.

Abdominoplasty and Breast Augmentation: “Everything looks so good. I went from a size 16 to a size 12. I look so defined now. The recovery was fairly easy and the staff is great. Breast Augmentation - My breasts are amazing. Before coming to Dr. Schilling, I had had a reduction and a breast lift last year to put my breasts back where they belong. I still wanted larger breasts without the sagging so I decided to get breast implants. The look great and the clothing I can wear is amazing. I tell everyone about Dr. Schilling. Overall - I love my breasts but am so thrilled with my belly. I love the clothing that I can wear and feel so confident. I was so excited to get to wear a 2 piece bathing suit this year. I’m going on a cruise on 2 weeks and can’t wait to wear a 2 piece again.”
~Janice N.

"Thanks for the new tummy! Now I can wear the clothes I love!” ~ Kathy C.
