Take Shape Now Offering Labiaplasty

Take Shape Surgery Center is now offering Labiaplasty.

Labiaplasty is a minor surgical operation to reduce the size of the Labial Minora. An oversized labia is generally defined as Labial Hypertrophy. Women with Labial Hypertrophy show an oversized Labial Minora compared to the size of the Labial Majora. This can in turn cause painful intercourse, problematic hygiene and low self-esteem.

Labial Hypertrophy can be caused by several factors such as genetics, aging, mechanical stress such as child birth, disease or infection. This condition generally isn’t treated medically unless it’s caused by a disease or infection. Surgery is the first and best option for women who are looking to reduce the size of their Labia Minora for either aesthetics or medical reasons.

The surgery is considered a minor procedure and since the pain and care are minimal the client can usually go home on the same day. The procedure is performed in a discreet setting, under local anesthesia, in about 30-45 minutes. The use of a hygienic pad is recommended for comfort for the first few weeks. Like other surgeries, post-swelling is usually experienced. Your doctor will most likely schedule a follow up appointment 1-2 weeks after your procedure. Physical activity can generally be resumed 3-4 days after the surgery; however, the client should refrain from wearing tampons, tight clothes or underwear and abstain from sexual intercourse for at least 4-6 weeks.

Labiaplasty is a great procedure to consider if you want to revamp and renew your genital area. Recovery time is very short and it’s known to have a very high rate of patient satisfaction. Don’t be afraid to get specific with your doctor. The more information you can give them about your desired results the more they can help.

Many women believe that the best option is an OB/GYN, because they treat gynecologic problems.  However, they do not have the same training that a plastic surgeon has, when dealing with blood, flow, preservation of sensation, and an overall eye for aesthetic beauty.  If you would not trust your breasts or face to other surgeons, why would you trust your most sensitive and private of areas.  You deserve the best, most delicate and precise surgeons available.

Let Take Shape Surgical Center give you the confidence you seek about your private parts once again. Make yourappointment today! 

Take Shape Plastic Surgery, PA offering support to the Transsexual Community

At Take Shape Plastic Surgery we are proud to offer Sex Reassignment Surgeries (SRS) thereby joining the other providers that perform hundreds of these surgeries every year in the United States. Sex Reassignment Surgery alters the physical appearance of an individual to more closely resemble that of the other sex. Take Shape offers free consultation for patients interested in Male to Female Surgery (MTF), Female to Male Surgery (FTM), and Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS).

Patients seeking surgical procedures to match their bodies to the identifying sex must first meet a series of psychological and medical qualifications. They must be healthy enough to endure the physical and psychological stress of surgery, usually have undergone at least 1 year of Hormone Replacement Treatment, and have had a Real Life Experience (RLE) for at least one year during which they live their lives as a member of their desired sex. It is also important for patients to have realistic goals and expectations of the final result and to have a complete understanding of the surgical process; its risks and complications and possible alternative options.

For patients seeking MTF surgery, we focus on Breast Augmentation and Buttock Enhancement (also called Brazilian Butt Lift) to create a more feminine contour. In addition to breast and buttock surgery, facial feminization surgery (FFS) procedures include Hairline Correction, Forehead Recontouring, Brow Lift, Rhinoplasty, Cheek Implants, Lip Lifts and Filling, Chin and Jaw Recontouring, and Thyroid Cartilage Reduction to create more feminine facial features. For patients seeking FTM surgery, Take Shape follows patients currently on Hormone Replacement Therapy (which adds hair and muscle mass) and offers them a Mastectomy to masculinize the chest and Buttock Reduction or Enhancement to create a more masculine body shape. Genital Reconstruction such as Vaginoplasty and Phalloplasty are not currently offered by Take Shape.

Highlighted Procedure: The Brazilian Butt Lift

Take Shape Plastic Surgery in Fort Lauderdale will now be offering gluteal augmentation for patients looking to improve the contour and aesthetic appeal of their buttocks. Plastic Surgeons, Christopher Low MD MS, George Dreszer MD and Russell Sassani MD are now offering free consultations for patients interested in gluteal augmentation, otherwise known as the “Brazilian Butt Lift”.

The procedure was first performed in the late 1960’s using breast implants to enhance the buttocks, the results were suboptimal and complication rates were high which led most US plastic surgeons to abandon the procedure. During the next several decades, plastic surgeons in Mexico, Brazil, and other South American countries continued in the search for better procedures and improved implants for gluteal augmentation.
Currently, there are two primary techniques in buttock augmentation, gluteal implants and autologous fat grafting. Creating a more aesthetic female torso requires augmentation of the buttocks and more importantly a reduction of the waist and lower back. Only autologous fat grafting can accomplish these goals. Gluteal implants cannot. During autologous fat grafting, sculpting of the waist and lower back requires aggressive liposuction of the presacral area in order to create the feminine inward sweep of the lower back. This liposuction is routinely done at the time of the autologous fat grafting but should not be routinely done at the same time as the gluteal implants.

Autologous gluteal augmentation is performed on patients desiring a more defined waist and fuller, rounder buttocks. This procedure is done at Take Shape Surgery Center, LLC, and is performed with minimal scars and healing time. The first step in gluteal augmentation is the aggressive liposuction of the hips, lateral thighs, lower back, and abdomen. The liposuction performed in these target areas will improve the shape of the buttock, making it appear rounder and proportionally larger. The harvested fat removed during liposuction is then processed in order to obtain the maximum amount of fat stem cells. Through tiny incisions, the harvested fat cells are then transferred into the upper and lateral buttocks in order to create the greater volume and improved definition.
