Patients can even combine tummy tuck surgery with liposuction to achieve maximum results. By removing excess skin and fat from the patient's midsection, Dr. Taranow can shape the body into a more desirable figure. At his New York City practice, liposuction ("liposculpture") is routinely performed in conjunction with tummy tuck surgery for a distinct silhouette.
By suctioning stubborn fatty deposits from areas such as the hips, thighs, and buttocks, through a small tubular device called a cannula; Dr. Taranow can give the patient more defined curves by permanently removing the targeted fatty deposits.
Through the use of one or both procedures, patients may be able to experience:
• A flatter, tighter abdomen
• Better-fitting clothes
• Renewed confidence in their bodies
• Curvaceous figures
Lasting from two to five hours, tummy tuck surgery will rid a patient of his or her excess abdominal skin and fat in a matter of hours. This procedure is known to provide long-lasting results and a smoother, more contoured shape.

About Liposuction
Liposuction, or "Liposculpture," is a cosmetic procedure that is designed to help remove fat deposits in certain areas of the body - the fat that does not respond to natural weight loss methods. Fortunately, liposuction can treat nearly any area of the body, including the:
• Hips
• Thighs
• Buttocks
• Abdomen
• Calves
With extensive experience in different liposuction methods, Dr. Taranow specializes in both the tumescent and ultrasonic techniques; two types of liposculpture that will minimize postoperative pain and bruising. Excellent procedural results can be achieved when utilizing local anesthesia, or local anesthesia with sedation for more involved procedures. Depending on the areas suctioned and the amount of fat that Dr. Taranow removes, liposuction can take as little as 30 minutes to a few hours.
For many patients, liposuction can also be combined with other cosmetic surgery procedures. Commonly, a tummy tuck ("abdominoplasty") is performed with liposuction as a complementary body contouring procedure. Liposuction will help to further eliminate a protruding abdomen and create a more defined figure for individuals with excess fat in their midsection.

Breast Augmentation
Also referred to as "augmentation mammaplasty," breast enhancement surgery can help a woman feel more confident after providing her with an increased size and beautiful, new shape. At Taranow Plastic Surgery, both saline and silicone gel breast implants are available.
Ideal breast enhancement candidates may:
Have displeasure with the size of their natural underdeveloped breast size
Want to correct an uneven breast size and/or shape
Have experienced a decrease in breast volume following pregnancy and childbirth, or as a result of aging
Need to reconstruct their breasts following a mastectomy or in response to another illness, or injury
If patients meet one of more of the following criteria, breast augmentation will provide them with the curvaceous figure they desire.
Breast Implant Types and Incisions
Dr. Taranow understands that every patient is unique, from her body shape to her aesthetic needs. Therefore, he encourages patients to contact him regarding the recent FDA approval of silicone gel breast implants, in regards to its benefits, potential risks, and comparison to saline breast implants.
One of the few doctors that routinely utilizes the transaxillary incision (under the armpit), Dr. Taranow also presents patients with the choice of the periareolar incision (through the areola); both methods produce virtually scarless breasts that are larger, rounder, fuller, and more natural-looking.
By analyzing the patient's precise concerns during a consultation, Dr. Taranow will aid the patient in deciding which enhancement techniques will best benefit them. In turn, he will develop a unique, personalized plan based on their needs.
