💉 Good morning! It's SURGICAL SELFIE SATURDAY 💉

Here we have our PA Beckie with one of her surgical selfies after she and Dr Chao completed another life changing surgical transformation in the OR.

😷 Treatment: Fleur de Lis Abdominoplasty with Flank & Back Liposuction
🎯 Purpose: FDL Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, resulting in a flatter, more toned appearance. It is similar to a traditional tummy tuck but with additional incisions that allow for more extensive skin removal. This may include repair of the abdominal wall muscles as well. Combined with flank and back liposuction for comprehensive torso contouring.
🎉 Results: Visible once swelling subsides, final results in 3-6 months
✏️Note: Individual results may vary

Body Mass Index (BMI) plays an important role in determining surgical candidacy and predicting optimal outcomes. At Chao Plastic Surgery, Dr. Chao evaluates each patient individually, considering BMI alongside overall health status, realistic goals, and specific procedure requirements.

Not reaching your weight-loss goals on your own? Vigour Aesthetics + Wellness offers a results-driven medical weight loss program that blends customized support and accountability with the latest and most effective medical interventions for your needs (that may or may not include injectable weight-loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide). This program is run by nurse practitioners under the guidance of a board-certified physician.

Weight-loss drugs are not a quick fix or standalone solution. All Vigour clients are carefully monitored and receive expert guidance on lifestyle changes needed for long-lasting results after you stop taking the medication. Whether you're preparing for surgery or simply working toward better health, we're here to support your journey with comprehensive medical guidance and personalized care.

At Chao Plastic Surgery and Vigour Aesthetics + Wellness, Sculptra offers a unique approach to facial rejuvenation. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually by stimulating your body's own collagen production, creating natural-looking results that develop over time and can last up to two years or more.

This poly-L-lactic acid injectable is ideal for addressing age-related volume loss in the cheeks, temples, and jawline. Most patients require a series of 2-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, with results emerging gradually over several months. The beauty of Sculptra lies in its subtlety—friends will notice you look refreshed but won't be able to pinpoint exactly what changed.

Discover the regenerative potential of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy and Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) therapy at Vigour Aesthetics + Wellness, A Chao Plastic Surgery Med Spa. This innovative treatment uses your body's own healing factors to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and promote natural rejuvenation.

PRP and PRFM can be used alone for facial rejuvenation or combined with microneedling for enhanced results. The treatment involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then reintroducing it to target areas. This natural approach to skin rejuvenation promotes healing and renewal without synthetic substances. This technology highlights with power of regenerative medicine.
