WELLNESS PLUS HEALTHY LIFESTYLE PROGRAM FOR WOMEN
Our program is designed for our female patients to quickly achieve peak physical and mental performance despite their demanding lifestyles.
Precise dosing is the key. Proper hormone levels are determined by the BioTE® comprehensive blood work analysis. A unique dosing is generated for each individual patient, so dosing is customized for what your body needs. Pellets deliver pure, bio-identical hormones directly into the bloodstream 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for up to 5 months. Pills, patches, creams and shots cannot provide a steady delivery of hormones 24/7. Pellets provide a constant supply of hormones that your body recognizes as its own, which significantly reduces the chance of adverse side effects.
Based on your preliminary lab results you will have an open-ended in-person consultation. The physician will carefully evaluate and discuss the results of your preliminary lab analysis, diagnostics testing, and medical history, and will custom design a hormone replacement treatment tailored to your specific needs. Your plan may consist of BHRT, along with diet and nutritional advice, additional vitamins and supplements, and even a customized fitness program. Key fundamentals that will be discussed include:
- The role of hormones and micronutrients in your health.
- Sexuality Optimization.
- Low Glycemic Nutrition and Micronutrients.
- Weight Control.
- Flexibility and Fitness.
- Pain Management.
- Skin Care Evaluation.
- Aging Facts.
- Health Risk Factors (cardiovascular disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s, cognitive function, depression, sleep disorders, sexual drive, diabetes, weight loss, osteoporosis, and prostate cancer

Specialized Diagnostic Testing (Add-on options)
Wellness Plus can provide you with elective diagnostic testing to better define your actual physical conditions and specific health risks. This comprehensive specialized testing includes the following:
- Resting Measurements – heart rate, blood pressure, weight, height and waist measurement
- Body Composition Analysis –evaluates lean muscle mass, body fat mass and intracellular/extracellular water
- Muscular Strength and Endurance
- Core Strength, Stability, Flexibility and Balance
Additional specialized testing for early detection of certain diseases may include the following:
- Cardiac Risk Assessment: identifies inflammation, oxidative stress and genetic mutations leading to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, progression towards Type 2 Diabetes, and inflammation.
- Micronutrients Assessment identifies functional deficiencies at the cellular level. It is an assessment of vitamins, minerals, amino/fatty acids, antioxidants and metabolites needed for the body to produce hormones, enzymes, and other substances essential for good health, proper growth and development. Repletion recommendations are made based on individual preferences.
- Telomere Health: identifies how well your individual cells are aging. By measuring one’s telomeres, the test reveals the rate of biological aging and is strongly correlated with risk for chronic diseases as well.
BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE PELLET THERAPY FOR WOMEN
BioTe® bio-identical hormones pellet therapy is the only method of estrogen and testosterone therapy that gives sustained and consistent hormonal levels throughout the day for months without any “roller coaster” blood levels of testosterone, which can result in mood and energy fluctuations for the patient.
BioTE® Medical shows excellent results treating thousands of women with bio-identical estrogen and progesterone hormones therapy and having had only a few reported side effects, which were all minor and treatable. Hormone pellet replacement therapy is a safe and effective way to return your estrogen and testosterone levels to what they were when you were younger, or even to optimize them to a higher level. Actually, it is the only method of hormone therapy that gives sustained and provides consistent hormones levels throughout the day for four to six months without any “roller coaster” blood levels of and mood and energy fluctuations.
Estrogen and Testosterone pellet delivery system allows your body to use the right amount of hormone as the blood flow surrounding the pellets picks up what is needed. The release of testosterone is proportionally related to your cardiac output for which any type of exercise will increase the release and optimize the positive effects of the testosterone hormone.
Wellness Plus only administers estrogen and testosterone in the form of pellets that contain a natural source of each one. These pellets have the size of a grain of rice or less and are placed underneath the skin in your butt. No stitches are needed. When testosterone and estrogen levels drop, symptoms may return and a new pellet needs to be inserted. Pellets do not carry risk of transference. BioTe® Medical shows excellent results treating thousands of women with bio-identical hormone therapy and having had only a few reported side effects, which were all minor and treatable.
FAQ – HORMONE PELLET THERAPY FOR WOMEN
WHY ARE PELLETS BETTER THAN CREAMS, PATCHES, SHOTS OR PILLS?
They are pure hormones that are not metabolized into byproducts by going through the liver, stomach or skin. This delivery system allows your body to use the right amount of hormone from the pellet as the blood flow surrounding the pellets picks up what is needed.
HOW OFTEN WILL I NEED PELLETS?
For women: usually every 3-4 months. For men: usually every 4-5 months.
WHERE DO THE PELLETS GO?
Because they are pure hormone without fillers or synthetic ingredients, they completely dissolve.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR MY BODY TO GET BACK TO LEAN NORMAL?
That depends on how much you exercise and work out with weights, as well as your age. Testosterone decreases fat and increases muscle and lean body mass. Testosterone also increases your natural growth hormone and therefore will improve your stamina to work out and increase muscle mass.
I HAVE NO LIBIDO – WHAT WILL THIS DO FOR THAT, IF ANYTHING?
Good hormone balance will greatly improve your libido. The addition of testosterone in pellet form will change everything for the better!
I GET HORRIBLE HEADACHES – WILL THEY HELP ME?
Yes! We have had great success, especially with women who have menstrual migraines, and new migraines that appear after age 35.
WHY DO I NEED ESTROGEN?
Estrogen is the most important hormone for a woman. It protects her against heart attack, stroke, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s. It also keeps us looking young and healthy.
DO I NEED OTHER MEDICATIONS?
If you still have a uterus, you will need to be on natural progesterone as well.
WHY DO I NEED TESTOSTERONE?
Testosterone is the third female hormone and is as essential as estrogen and progesterone. We need this hormone to keep our thought process quick and our libido healthy. It improves bone density, muscle mass, strength and prevents some types of depression. It is also the source of energy and solid sleep!
WILL I GROW UNWANTED HAIR FROM TESTOSTERONE?
There is significantly less chance of excess hair growth with natural testosterone than with synthetic hormones. Facial hair can grow with testosterone pellets, but normally no more than when you were in your thirties.
VAGINAL “G-SHOT” AMPLIFICATION FOR SEXUAL ENHANCEMENT
What is the “G-Spot”? Can all women have a G-Spot orgasm? Do they have the appropriate size G-spot? Do they perceive enough activation of the G-spot?
G-Spot – “The “G-spot” is a highly erogenous zone located 2-3 inches inside and on the upper wall of the female vagina where the female’s urethral tube lies – where urine goes through. This area is surrounded by an erectile tissue similar to that found in the male penis and is also known as paraurethral glands, Skene’s glands, or G-spot. When a female becomes sexually aroused this collection of tiny structures made up of tissue starts to swell, amplifying the area of sensitivity during stimulation and activating the female orgasm system to produce the discharge of a G-spot orgasm, or “vaginal orgasm”.
Just like one woman’s labia is completely different from another woman – so are her para-urethral glands! In some women, these glands are large (quarter sized) and prominent – easy to stimulate, and hence, easier to produce a G-Spot orgasm. In others, these glands are small, indented, or even practically non-existent – hence, not easy at all to achieve a G-Spot orgasm.
G-Shot (or Gland Shot) – Dermacare+ provides the G-Shot, a simple in-office procedure done by our physicians to augment the size of the G-Spot area with a patient’s own fat -or human engineered collagen -for greater and faster sexual arousal. In a pilot study, 87% of women who were surveyed reported greater and faster sexual arousal/gratification after receiving the G- Shot. The effects last up to 18 months and do vary.
O-Shot (or Orgasm Shot) – A variance to the above is the “O-shot”, a nonsurgical procedure that uses growth factors from each woman’s own platelets. These platelets are used to stimulate vaginal and clitoral rejuvenation and activate the female orgasm system to produce the discharge of a G-spot orgasm.
The process: One of our doctors at Dermacare+ infiltrates a small area of extra fat (abdomen, flanks, and thighs) with local anesthesia and aspirates a small sample of fat. Blood is also drawn from the arm in the same way as with any blood test. Using a centrifuge and a special method, stem cells/SFV are isolated from some of the aspirated fat and a sample of platelet rich plasma is isolated with resultant growth factors. The remainder of the collected fat -or human engineered collagen- is enriched with the patient’s own stem cells and growth factors.
The application: Upon local application, an anesthetic and a very thin needle are used for the procedure The doctor or nurse practitioner injects a mixture of the patient’s own stem cells + growth factors into the clitoris and a mixture of fat + stem cells + growth factors into the G-spot and in upper vaginal area for a substantial size enlargement (larger than a quarter) and rejuvenation. Because these areas have been previously numbed, the female patient feels little or no pain.
The benefits: Thus far almost all women receiving these procedures enjoy an increase in their sexual response and for many the increase is dramatic. Although each woman’s experience can be different, here’s a list of some of the other and most common effects reported by our patients after receiving the O-Shot ® and rejuvenating the orgasm system:
- Increased sexual desire
- Increased natural lubrication
- Smoother skin of the vulva (lips of the vagina)
- Increased ability to have a vaginal orgasm
- Greater arousal from clitoral stimulation
- Stronger orgasm
- More frequent orgasm
- Decreased pain for those with painful intercourse
- Decreased urinary incontinence
NOTE: Stem cells, platelets and growth factors have indeed been shown to cause tissue regeneration and repair, but orgasm and sexual desire are multi-factorial; (emotional, hormonal, relationship and general health all play a big role. It is fair to expect that “no one who does this shot thinks it is the end-all, cure-all solution”. There is no ‘magic shot’ that takes the place of all the other factors necessary for normal and enjoyable sex. If needed, we recommend working with a sex educator to find the best ways to activate the female orgasm system.

FAQ – HORMONE PELLET THERAPY FOR MEN
HOW LONG WILL I NEED TO STAY ON TESTOSTERONE PELLET THERAPY?
The amount of time often needed varies with each person depending on your age and symptoms, or for how long of your life you want to continue feeling good and aging healthily. Most men start to feel the results of testosterone therapy after 7-10 days of treatment.
WHY ARE PELLETS BETTER THAN CREAMS, SHOTS, PILLS OR PATCHES?
They are a pure hormone. That is, they are not metabolized into byproducts by going through the liver, stomach or skin. Pellet delivery system allows your body to use the right amount of hormone from the pellet as the blood flow surrounding the pellets picks up what is needed.
HOW OFTEN WILL I NEED PELLETS?
For men: usually every 4-5 months.
WHERE DO THE PELLETS GO?
Because they are pure hormone without fillers or synthetic ingredients, they completely dissolve in your body.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR MY BODY TO GET BACK TO LEAN NORMAL?
That depends on how much you exercise and work out –especially with weights, as well as your age. Testosterone also increases your natural growth hormone and therefore will improve your stamina to work out and increase muscle mass.
I HAVE NO LIBIDO – WHAT WILL THIS DO FOR THAT, IF ANYTHING?
The addition of testosterone in pellet form will change everything for the better! Good hormone balance will greatly improve your libido, sex drive, and performance.
DOES TESTOSTERONE CAUSE PROSTATE CANCER?
NO. Bio-identical testosterone pellets are the only replacement that reverses that trend. Metabolites of testosterone – dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and estrone, cause prostate enlargement and contribute to prostate cancer. Estrone increases and testosterone decreases as men age and as men gain belly fat.
WHAT IF I HAVE PROSTATE ENLARGEMENT ALREADY?
Testosterone pellets will make it better if you do not convert it to DHT; we will treat that if it happens.
HOW DO I TAKE TESTOSTERONE PELLETS AND NOT CONVERT THEM SOME OF THESE OTHER HORMONES?
Your blood levels of estrone and DHT are checked after treatment to see if they are elevated. Few men still convert to these metabolites even on testosterone pellets. If they are converting, we troubleshoot with natural supplements such as dim and saw palmetto, or an aromatase inhibitor prescription, if needed.
DOES TESTOSTERONE PELLETS MAKE MY BODY MAKE MORE TESTOSTERONE?
No. Testosterone therapy is designed to replace, the testosterone your body is no longer making. It does not stimulate the production of more of your own testosterone.
WILL MY TESTICLES SHRINK WHILE I TAKE THE TESTOSTERONE PELLETS?
Yes, they will. Testicles are suppressed by taking any kind of testosterone and consequently they will not make as much of their own testosterone while the pellets are working. This is not permanent, and the testicle retains its ability to produce testosterone.
Q & A ON ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION (ED)
What is ED or Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile Dysfunction (impotence) involves trouble getting an erection or trouble keeping an erection firm enough for sex as well as reduced sexual desire that when on an ongoing basis, may affect your self-confidence and cause stress and relationship problems, ultimately becoming an issue with your partner.
How does an erection occur?
Physical and/or mental stimulation cause nerves in the brain to send chemical messages to nerves in the penis telling the penile blood vessels to relax so that blood can flow freely into the penis. Once in the penis, high pressure traps the blood within the muscles inside the shaft of the penis causing the penis to expand and sustain an erection. An erection is reversed when the inflow of blood is stopped and opening outflow channels open, allowing the penis to become soft.
What are most common causes of ED
In most cases, erectile dysfunction is caused by something physical including diabetes, the most common factor. Specific causes other than diabetes are:
- Metabolic syndrome (increased blood pressure + high insulin levels + body fat around the waist + high cholesterol)
- Tobacco Use
- Alcoholism and other forms of substance abuse
- Low testosterone
- Peyronie’s disease (development of scar tissue inside the penis)
- Heart disease
- Clogged blood vessels (atherosclerosis)
- High blood pressure
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Medications: antidepressants, antihistamines and medications to treat high blood pressure, pain or prostate cancer
- Emotional or psychological causes: Depression, anxiety, stress due to finances, stress or poor communication
How ED is related to Diabetes?
Erectile dysfunction is significantly common in diabetic men. Elevated glucose levels in their blood is believed to give rise to changes in the small blood vessels. Incidence of ED is greater in men with increasing age, duration of diabetes and deteriorating metabolic control. ED is also more likely to occur in individuals with type 2 diabetes rather than those with type 1. Diabetic men with ED are often reluctant to come forward with their symptoms and consequently lose a great opportunity to correct their ED and improve their quality of life.
How is ED diagnosed?
For many men, a medical history and a physical exam are all that needs to be done before a doctor is ready to recommend a treatment. Common tests for possible underlying problems may include blood tests, urine tests, penis ultrasound and overnight erection test.
What are the different approaches for the treatment of ED?
Getting the right treatment for any health problem that can be causing or worsening your erectile dysfunction condition should be your first step. Treatments that have typically been available are either medical/drugs or surgical.
- Medical and Surgical Treatments:
Nitric Oxide Enhancers –Viagra, Cialis, or Levitra; Alprostadil self-injected or penis suppository; penis pumps or a vacuum device; penile implants - Alternative Medicine Treatments:
Acupuncture; L-arginine; Korean red ginseng (Panax ginseng); Yohimbine; Ginkgo
Psychological counseling: If your erectile dysfunction is caused by stress, anxiety or depression.
What are Wellness Plus’s different approaches for treating ED?
Choosing the right approach for each patient’s personal and individual needs is the key to successful treatment.

TESTIMONIALS FROM USERS OF EMS TECHNOLOGY
EMS is being used as much as a rehabilitation aid for elite athletes — top football players Cristiano Ronnaldo, Lionel Messi and Frank Lampard are mentioned as addicted fans — as it is being used as a quick fix for improved muscle tone fans, reduced cellulite and eliminated stubborn body fat by normal women.
Soccer Player Cristiano Ronaldo shared his thoughts on using EMS in his training for consistency.
“I use EMS technology for my training and I think is an excellent technology. EMS is a fantastic product for enhancing your muscles, especially when you trainfor explosive power and agility. As a professional football player, I play matches that last 90 minutes, if no more. I must be ready both physically and mentally. Taking that into consideration this EMS product is extra special for me and that is why I used to maintain myself at my peak level. Ultimately, that’s a vital factor in my success.” (CR, July 20, 2015)
S.C. a personal testimonial
Like millions of women I will stop at virtually nothing if it promises to make me fitter faster. And, as a busy mother-of-two, if it requires no effort on my part and only a couple of times a week, so much the better. So, when I heard about this high-tech exercise regime, which simply required me to get myself into a body suit that looks like something from RoboCop, and let the science work its magic, it sounded like a dream come true.
So, with all this in mind, I headed to a gym offering the EMS program in Pembroke Pines. I was told how to squeeze myself into the gym wear — a skin-tight body suit with a metal pad attached to the suit that contains the technology. As I walked into the fitness room I smiled at the EMS expert and trainer Ms. Cabada and the other seven or eight fans in the workout session. She briefed me of the importance of different postures designed to boost my workout, not replace it, so I couldn’t just let the machine take the strain. She warned me that my muscles would be put through their paces, thanks to short, sharp electric shocks. It sounded a little extreme, but the list of benefits spurred me on, not to mention the fact I knew it would be over in 20 minutes.
As Ms. Cabada jabbed at the buttons on her lap top I began to feel a slight tingle pinprick sensations all over my body.It was rather strange, but by no means uncomfortable or painful. This was easy. Crank it up!’ I chirruped with a thumbs-up, thinking of all the hours of gym-time I would save.
So, at my insistence, Ms Cabada cranked it up. Every few seconds, electronic pulses seemed to sink beneath my skin, triggering my nerves to contract and relax the muscles before trying to blast their way out to the surface. I couldn’t say aloud what I was thinking. I was too breathless to do more than gasp.
Along the work-up session Ms. Cabada led me through a demanding regime of lunges, squats, jogging on the spot, fast-paced sit-ups, abdominal crunches, bicep curls with light weights, and more — each of the exercises accompanied by what felt like constant, static electric shocks. Towards the end, I could feel my muscles were contracting involuntarily, even when Ms. Cabada switched the machine off. By the end of the session, I was drenched in sweat, feeling as if I’d been through and a full hour of circuit training, not a 20-minute workout.
I felt the session was not much more than a regular workup but with a posh personal trainer, and taking up far less of my day. So, this could be worth the effort if I can endure the discomfort. And the fact that cuts down my time in a sweaty gym, I could definitely be persuaded to return.
FAQs – WellfitEMS TECHNOLOGY
SAFETY
Is the training dangerous, are there side effects?
No, the training is not dangerous at all. Electric Muscle Stimulation has been used by chiropractors, physicians and osteopaths for decades, but only recently has it started to make headway in personal training. The machines themselves use very low voltage electrical current and comply with the USA FDA directive for medical devices.
Is the electric current dangerous for my nervous system?
No, there is no danger of the electric current damaging the nervous system. The use of low-frequency impulse is widely used in training and rehabilitation therapy, and EMS uses the natural principle of sending electrical impulses direct to the muscles.
Should I avoid EMS training if I have certain health conditions?
Most people can use EMS training but if you have a certain health condition that prevents you from participating in conventional sport then you must get approval from your doctor.
Unfortunately, we are not able to accept clients with the following:
• Pregnancy
• Heart pacemaker
• Severe circulatory disorder & arterial circulatory disorder
Is EMS suitable for Post-Natal Training?
Yes, but only six weeks after delivery. There are numerous studies that clearly indicate that EMS quickly and effectively trains the deep pelvic floor muscles. It is an elegant countermeasure to a tendency towards incontinence. The positive effects naturally apply to all of the connective tissue and skin structures that are stretched and overstretched during a pregnancy.
Does EMS Training Hurt?
EMS training is no more strenuous than a conventional workout. By the end of the session, you will need a rest and a drink of water, depending on the intensity of your workout. The equipment uses low impulse frequency, the experience of receiving the impulses may take a little getting used to, but it is not painful in any way.
EQUIPMENT
Can I stand still and let the machine do all the work?
This is not how the technology works. The technology enhances the impact of the exercises you do, but you must be doing exercises in order to experience benefits. During each session you will be guided through a routine with our personal trainer, performing exercises such as press ups, and squats. As you work out, the electrical pulses will stimulate the muscles, dramatically improving the efficiency of the exercise routine.
What is the age limit with EMS training?
The minimum age for using EMS is 18, and there is no upper age limit. We would be delighted to train someone in their nineties, though admittedly, we could be waiting some time before we do. Our instructors can tailor sessions according to your goals and fitness levels by controlling each muscle group and adjusting the intensity of the workout session.
How long would it take before you see results with EMS training?
Our clients usually report visible results within four-six sessions. It can take a little longer, or shorter, depending on your body weight and level of fitness when you come for your first session.
Is it safe and hygienic to wear the training vests that are used on other clients?
Prior to the workout, we will give you a towel. These are clean and washed for each client. We also sell the suits if you’d prefer to have your own. The electrodes on the main body suit work through the cotton and do not make direct contact with the skin. They are cleaned and replaced regularly, and covered with special anti-bacterial fabric for hygienic use.
How much time can I save by using EMS?
With Exerceo you only need to work out once or twice per week to achieve comparable results to several hours in the gym. This means you can literally save yourself hours per week! The results will come quickest if you workout twice per week.
FITNESS SESSION
How long do the sessions last?
The workout element of the session lasts exactly twenty minutes. Prior to the routine, you will need to change into the suit, and, if it your first time, have a short explanation of the equipment. Therefore, in total, we would allow forty-five minutes for each session. If you are coming with a friend, it will take slightly longer, and we would allow up to fifty-five minutes for the session.
How often can I do the training?
We recommend that our clients train twice a week. After each training session, it usually takes around 36-48 hours for the body to recover and consequently, doing more than two sessions is not recommended.
What is the cancellation policy?
For paid clients, if you cancel a session within 24 hours, then we are afraid that you will lose that session. If you have not paid for the session, then we will send out an invoice for the session cost. If you give us at least 24 hours notice however, you are entitled to a free re-booking of the session.
What do I need to bring along to the session?
There is no need to bring anything! We will provide you with a cotton under suit, as well as a towel for after the session. You don’t need to bring any training gear whatsoever.
WHY OUR hCG WEIGHT & FAT LOSS DIET DOES WORK?
Because injections of hCG are the only acceptable and successful way for the hCG to work. No other way such as drops, pills, or sprays are as effective since they dissolve before ever reaching the blood. Is like taking nothing at all!
The overwhelming response from patients treated in our office over the years has proven to us that our treatment regimen works. Our patients’ proven reducing sizes and losing fat has resulted in substantial changes in their bodies and their lives, as well as their family’s lives.
The following is a simple summary of Dermacare’s modified hCG Fat and Weight Loss Protocol:
- An hCG subcutaneous injection must be used daily for the duration of the Program (28 – 56 days)
- The hCG dosing is customized based on the patient’s weight, age and gender.
- The diet involves doses ranging from 500-1500 daily calories, and we also recommend some form of light activity based on a proper type of home-exercise.
- The hCG injections drastically reduce the feeling of hunger which makes quite comfortable the little eating during our program. If needed, a hunger suppressor can be added to the diet.
- The hCG injections help the body make more hormones, whose deficiency or imbalance is a proven part of the reason for weight gain. This hormonal balance will strength the metabolism over time and will prevent losing muscle while on the diet by elevating hormone levels in the body, including testosterone.
- The hCG injections are the only method that prevent rebound weight gain upon completion of the hCG Diet Program. Practically all people who claim to have lost weight with hCG drops or pills have gained most of their weight back, simply because hCG drops or pills cannot be absorbed into the bloodstream.
- The hCG injections cause more of a pure fat loss, which causes shrinking in inches and size of clothing. The greatest result is that you can become leaner and fit into a smaller clothing size, yet have more muscle.
- The hCG Fat and Weight Loss Program is not a Do-It-Yourself diet. If you are seriously considering trying this diet you should make sure it is done appropriately through an experienced physician.
- hCG Injections should only be taken with a prescription from a doctor and under medical supervision.
- Remember: the only way we can claim proper fat (not muscle) loss and protect against regaining weight is only with the use of hCG in the form of injections –not drops, pills, or sprays.
OUR SUPRA-TUMMY-TUCK PROTOCOL
Dermacare’s TummyTuck or Abdominoplasty is a simplified and safe 2 to 3-hour surgery done in a way –apart from the traditional way– that allows for the removal of unwanted excess body fat and skin without large-scale cutting and without the disruption of surrounding tissues. By using this advanced technique, the placement of drains is unlikely, the pain during and after the surgery is minimal, blood loss is kept to a minimum, and the recovery is significantly faster. Most patients are able to go back to work after 7-10 days.
Dermacare’s Supra–Tummy-Tuck procedure is essentially a combination of different procedures, all done in just one surgery and without any additional cost to the patient.

- Vaser liposuction: By doing Vaser liposuction of the upper/lower abdomen and flanks right before the tummy tuck we are able to remove a lot more fat than the “traditional” tummy tuck which is limited to removing skin and fat of the lower abdomen, leaving the untouched fat of the upper abdomen and flanks (waist) in the same place and not achieving the same final result.
- Musculo fascial plication Tightening of the muscles located deeper in the abdomen –musculo fascial plication– is also done routinely to refine and create a new waist size by correcting the existing spreading of the abdominal muscles that has often resulted in an undiscovered ventral hernia.
- Lateral flank lift. Adding a lateral thigh lift is part of an “extended” Tummy Tuck that allows for smoothing the contour of the lateral flank and further improvement of the total waist. Occasionally, adding a butt lift may also be suggested, most appropriately for patients who have undergone massive weight loss.
- Stem cells and PRP transplant By adding your own stem cells and PRP (platelets rich plasma) to the incision, Dermacare can accelerate the healing process of the surgery and improve the appearance of the surgical scar.
- Tumescent anesthesia. Tumescent anesthesia eliminates all pain during the surgery and controls bleeding, bruising, swelling and post-operative pain. It avoids the risk of general anesthesia and blood transfusion or incidence of flap necrosis that can be as high as 30% in a traditional tummy tuck procedure. To find out if a tummy-tuck is the right option for you please set up a courtesy consultation at our Dermacare office. Dr. Castillo and his staff will want to meet you and evaluate your case. This kind of consultation is important for any procedure, but it is especially important for a tummy tuck which if often misunderstood by patients or misinformed by other physicians.
