Diastasis and Tummy Tuck
In youth, our muscular layer acts like a firm, taut girdle, preventing our intestines, liver, spleen, etc, from just bulging outwards into a soft blob of a ball. The muscular layer, fused to our skeleton, is what gives our core and midsection its underlying shape and stability. Three things happen which undermine this layer. First, as we age, like every other connective tissue in our body, collagen and elastic fibers decrease, allowing the wall the lose strength and sag. Second, fluctuation in weight, in particular with the intra-abdominal fat, can […]

Do I need to lose weight before liposuction or a tummy tuck?
The quick answer is maybe. In general, if your BMI is over 30-35, you probably need to lose some weight before pulling the trigger on a tummy tuck or liposuction. Here’s why: Your trunk is made of multiple layers as you can see in this illustration. Importantly, we have both external AND internal fat.
EXTERNAL FAT
This is the layer a fat that exists between the skin and the muscle layer. Essentially, it is proof that God doesn’t love us. It’s what you […]

Aging skin, liposuction, and tummy tucks:
Remember the millions of little elastic fibers in your skin that we showed you in our last post? Yeah, those are constantly disappearing as you age. This means that, like an old sock, your skin no longer recoils when it is stretched. In fact, without those tiny fibers pulling your skin back to it taut, firm, shape, the surface area will actually expand. That’s right, the skin layer is effectively growing as it loses more and more of the micro-elastic fibers, the same fibers which would otherwise […]

Why The Skin Layer is so Important in Tummy Tucks and Liposuction Procedures
Skin: it’s the largest organ of your body, the layer which protects you and keeps you from evaporating away all your moisture. Inside the skin runs a vast network of elastic fibers which are responsible for maintaining tension, firmness, and recoil; picture it like millions of tiny rubber bands. When you pull the skin, it stretches out; and, importantly, when you let go, the elastic fibers will recoil, pulling and shrinking the skin back to its original shape and size. These […]

The Origins Of Subbio Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa
For the past 20 years now I have been working towards this dream. What started in high school as a chance viewing of a documentary on victims of acid-throwing has now brought me to this moment so many years later. It seems like only yesterday that I was planning on going to art school, having been known my entire life at that point as a budding and promising artist. You can imagine my parents’ surprise, then, to hear that I was pulling a complete ‘180’ […]

The Best Kept Secret In Choosing A Surgeon?
It’s inevitable: sooner or later there comes a time in our lives when we, or a loved one, will need surgery. The very though of it can be understandably terrifying; after all, unless one works in a hospital (or more accurately, in an operating room), how can one ever fully trust that he/she is picking the “right surgeon for the job”?
Some patients will, in a knee-jerk reaction, run to the nearest prestigious university, fully assuming that an ivory-league pedigree stamp guarantees top notch surgical technique and […]

Stranger In The Mirror: Why And How Your Face Looks Older As You Age
Does the face staring back at you from the mirror ever surprise you? Do you ever feel like the person looking back just isn’t you, or perhaps some older version of you that just doesn’t quite match the way you feel? Do you wonder where that youthful, full, and bright-eyed face went?
If so, joins the tens of millions of Americans who wonder the exact same thing every morning upon looking in the mirror, victims of the inevitably constant progression of […]
