liposuction, and more!
Body contouring is a term that refers to any number of plastic surgery procedures that are performed to make a dramatic improvement in the body’s contour as a whole. Practicing in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, Dr. Hurwitz and Dr. Agha are renowned for such procedures as liposuction and abdominoplasty, also known as tummy tuck. Body contouring is often used for patients who have successfully lost considerable weight and have excess skin in target areas. It is also very effective at removing pockets of fat that remained unaffected by weight loss. Dr. Hurwitz and Dr. Agha are considered by many to be the nation’s leading experts in body contouring. Their work has been featured in publications such as People and television programs such as The Montel Williams Show. Below you will find many of the procedures that Dr. Hurwitz and Dr. Agha employs with their patients to help them achieve beautiful new bodies.
We all know that maintaining a healthy body weight is a leading contributor to a healthy lifestyle. And regardless of the physical health benefits, we simply feel better and have more confidence when our body weight is reasonably managed. Our most successful total body lift patients are those who have lost substantial weight recently and have retained excess skin that sags. The body lift is an excellent option that is proven to create exciting results! Likely candidates are those who need improvement in the areas of the abdomen, thighs, back, and breasts.
As with all of Dr. Hurwitz’s and Dr. Agha's surgical procedures, the body lift will be customized to meet your individual needs. In most cases, two horizontal incisions are made. One incision will be made along the waistline and another will be made just below the breast line, at which point the entire skin flap is lifted. Dr. Hurwitz or Dr. Agha will be sure to discuss their method in detail with you to ensure your needs and concerns are addressed.

But first, take a look at our photo gallery and video archive of recent success stories!Dr. Hurwitz is a true asset to the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, helping to improve his patients’ self-images. Abdominoplasty is one of many highly effective procedures he performs. Abdominoplasty, also called tummy tuck, is a plastic surgery technique used to target and trim the abdominal area. Abdominoplasty is one of the more popular procedures as results from just this one technique can be dramatic and life changing.
As performed at Dr. Hurwitz’s and Dr. Agha's clinic in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, entails making an incision along the waistline, removing excess fat and tissue, tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall, and carefully closing the incision. In cases where only the lower abdomen needs to be trimmed, a partial abdominoplasty may be performed. Dr. Hurwitz and Dr. Agha will help you determine your goals and decide on the best approach for your case.Dr. Hurwitz’s and Dr. Agha's state-of-the-art practice in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, performs both liposuction and ultrasonic liposuction to suit our patients’ individual needs. Both liposuction and ultrasonic liposuction are extremely effective as single procedures or combined with a more comprehensive body contouring plan.
Liposuction is used to create a smoother, slimmer appearance in targeted areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and upper arms. The liposuction procedure is performed by gently removing fat deposits through a suction tube, called a cannula. Also performed at his Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania clinic, ultrasonic liposuction is carried out much in the same way. The difference, though, is that ultrasonic sound waves are used to loosen the fat deposits for more effective removal. Ultrasonic liposuction has gained in popularity recently as advancements in technology have dramatically increased the safety and ease with which it is performed.
Thighplasty is a wonderful procedure that lifts and tightens the skin envelope of the thigh area using liposuction and other means of removing tissue. Fat deposits in the thigh and lower body area can be particularly resistant to diet and exercise. And even when significant weight loss is achieved, it can be very difficult to regain the skin elasticity you once enjoyed. Thighplasty provides patients with a great technique for targeting only the lower body area of the thighs and legs.
Often, patients who have experienced considerable weight loss find themselves with sagging skin in embarrassing places. An arm lift is used to remove excess fat and tissue from the upper arms. An incision is made along the underside of the upper arm, in the most inconspicuous place, and unwanted skin and tissue are carefully removed to reveal the more natural contour of the arms. Liposuction may be employed during the arm lift to accentuate your results.
