Tumescent Liposuction

When it comes to Tumescent Liposuction, Dr. Tellis has years of experience performing procedures to sculpt and shape all those problematic areas of the body that could use an extra touch such as the abdomen, waist, thighs, and back. Even the neck, arms, and calves can be treated, as well!

Tumescent Liposuction is a safer approach using tumescent fluid that provides hours of local anesthesia to the areas being treated. It can be done in an office procedure setting with just light sedation and there is no need to be completely put to sleep. This allows for a faster recovery with fewer complications and you can even change positions during your procedure to ensure the best results possible. Smaller areas can be treated with almost no downtime, and most people are able to return to work within just a few days even with larger procedures.

Tumescent liposuction is more approachable than you might have ever imagined, too – pricing begins around $4,500 with results that can be seen in a few weeks once swelling subsides. Most clients enjoy full results noticeable in just one-to-two months!

Lipotransfer

Lipotransfer, or natural fat transfer, is another area Dr. Tellis specializes in for those looking to naturally augment areas of the body such as the breasts, buttocks, or face using their own body fat. He has been performing these procedures for over a decade and is able to offer the best technology to accomplish your goals. Dr. Tellis uses a specialized water-jet liposuction system designed in Germany to harvest fat in a more gentle way using a fluid spray to flush out the fat cells that is less damaging and enhances the survival of the cells. One area of the body gets sculpted and reduced while another area gets naturally enhanced using your own body fat…it’s really a win-win procedure! Dr. Tellis can help decide if this procedure is right for you.

Scarless Breast Reduction

Another area of expertise Dr. Tellis has to offer is Scarless Breast Reduction (SBR). Many women suffer from breasts that are larger than they desire and this procedure offers a less invasive, easier way to reduce the size of breast tissue using Tumescent Liposuction. Surgical scars are avoided with faster recovery and fewer risks of complications. This procedure can be a nice alternative for those who want to reduce the size of their breasts but don’t want to undergo major surgery. Even men with excess breast tissue can be treated too! Not everyone is an ideal candidate depending on their goals, but Dr. Tellis has been doing these procedures for many years now and can help determine if you are a good candidate.

Skin Tightening and Lifting

Dr. Tellis is also able to offer some of the best and latest energy-based technologies for skin tightening and lifting including Renuvion/J-plasma and InMode-FaceTite. These treatments use either plasma energy or bipolar radiofrequency under the surface of the skin in a very controlled fashion to shrink down the collagen fibers and cause tightening and lifting of the skin. This can be done as an add-on with a liposuction procedure for patients who may have not been good candidates for liposuction in the past due to concerns about the skin being too loose afterward. The treatments can also be used to offer a non-surgical option for a facelift (FaceTite) or breast lift (Scarless Breast Lift) procedures. While the traditional surgical approaches may be the gold standard, it is an exciting time in the field of aesthetics with energy-based treatments offering an option for the right individuals who may not want or need the full surgical approach.

PRP

Finally, Dr. Tellis has extensive experience and expertise in using PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to address a variety of conditions. PRP is a concentrated solution of growth factors and healing factors made from your own blood. It restarts the healing process, stimulates blood flow, activates stem cells, and initiates collagen tightening and remodeling. It is a natural healing agent that can provide a healthy boost to your skin and tissue. Common treatments include PRP facials or PRP treatments to help with hair loss. Sexual health and wellness can also be improved and Dr. Tellis is able to provide “O-shot” and “P-shot” procedures using PRP to enhance sexual performance and well-being.
