At Skin Physicians & Surgeons, we can repair stretched or torn earlobes in our office using only local anesthetic. Torn and elongated ear lobes can be repaired with a minor surgical procedure while most torn ear lobes can be repaired by simply taking out the edges of the tear and repositioning the new edges evenly and allowing them to heal in place.

Elongated and misshaped earlobes can be shortened or reshaped to provide a more attractive, youthful appearance. If your problem is that your earrings tend to point downward, you can see significant improvement after using a filler injection (Restylane or Juvederm) which will make thin earlobes thicker and help to support those heavy, down-turned earrings. 

Aging causes the weakening of tissues, which has a pronounced effect on the eye area. Drooping upper eyelid tissue can obscure your natural eye crease and impair your vision. Bulging tissue in the upper eyelids can cause your eyes to appear puffy. Excess, sagging skin can lead to a chronically fatigued expression.

Tickle Lipo™ is FDA approved and provides patients with a more comfortable, safe, and effective procedure for fat removal and body sculpting. The cannula (thin hollow needle) is able to move through more stubborn fibrous areas of fat to provide better results with less surgery time and a shorter recovery period.

What is a Tumescent Liposuction?

Tumescent liposuction is a body-sculpting procedure that injects a large volume of fluid with local anesthetic and adrenaline into the tissue. This process shrinks capillaries, which reduces bleeding, and hardens fat, making it easier to remove.

The tumescent technique produces profound and long-lasting local anesthesia of the skin and subcutaneous fat.

What is a Tumescent Liposuction session like ?

A local anesthetic is used to numb the area of your body where the tube will be inserted. Next, a large amount of an anesthetic solution containing lidocaine and epinephrine is injected into the fatty tissue before traditional liposuction is done.

What results can be expected from Tumescent Liposuction ?

After the procedure, the area of the body that was treated is firmly wrapped to help reduce swelling, bruising, and pain. Elastic bandages and tape, support hose (such as those used to treat varicose veins), a special girdle, or another type of firm-fitting garment may be used, depending on which part of the body was treated. You may have to wear the compression garment or wrap for 3 to 4 weeks. Expect a lot of bruising and swelling for at least the first 7 to 10 days.
