Kansas City Body Contouring

Thank you again, Dr. Hynes, for my Liposuction surgery of my tummy, love handles and saddle bags. I love my new appearance and my husband says I have my "sexy curves" again!---Monica

More and more Americans are adding cosmetic surgery to their health and beauty regime to LOOK AS GOOD AS THEY FEEL! Innovative, state-of-the-art techniques are safe and give a more natural appearance with reduced recovery time.

Exercise alone cannot always eliminate some stubborn areas of fat deposits or the loose skin that may have been stretched due to pregnancy or excess weight. Size and shape of your body can be greatly enhanced by body contour surgery. Liposuction surgery and/or tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) surgery are the two most popular cosmetic surgery procedures used for body sculpting.

Kansas City Ultrasonic Liposuction

Ultrasonic Liposuction can help both men and women achieve the natural body contour they want. Certain areas of fat are immune to exercise and diets. Liposuction can help sculpt the body by removing stubborn areas of fat from specific areas of the body including the abdomen, love handles, hips, buttocks, thighs, upper arms, knees and chin. Dr. Hynes uses the newest state-of-the-art techniques that give beautiful results with quicker recovery times.

Liposuction is not used for weight loss. The best results are obtained when there is localized excess fat that have not been eliminated with diet or exercise. Choosing a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon is important. Precise and accurate preoperative markings are essential to achieving quality results with liposuction surgery. These markings on the body will estimate fat volumes to remove and also mark areas to avoid. Frequently postoperative support garments are utilized following liposuction surgery and are worn for about 2 weeks. Many men and women enjoy the results of their Liposuction surgery including their improved feelings of self-confidence.

Kansas City Tummy Tuck

A Tummy Tuck (a.k.a. Abdominoplasty) can help both men and women achieve a flat, even firmer tummy that flatters the natural figure. It can remove excess skin from the middle and lower abdomen, and tighten up the underlying musculature. The surgery can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen giving the appearance of a flatter, firmer, tighter stomach, as well as a thinner waist

The tummy tuck surgery is commonly requested by women who have had multiple pregnancies and have stretched their abdominal muscles and skin beyond the point where they can return to normal. Some other patients who have lost their skin elasticity or patients who have a history of mild obesity also benefit from this body sculpting cosmetic surgery procedure.

Dr. Hynes performs his tummy tuck surgeries in the safety of a hospital, in the outpatient department. The patients return home the same day.

ON-Q Pain Pump

Dr. Hynes is one of only a few doctors in Kansas City that uses the “ON-Q Pain Relief System” for post operative pain relief after tummy tuck surgery. Dr. Hynes includes the ON-Q Pain Relief pump with your surgery and you will wear it home for 5 days following your surgery. As a result, you have far less pain, feel better faster, and you are able to return to your normal activities faster with some restrictions. Most patients return to work or normal routines within 10 to 14 days with a few restrictions.

The Pain Pump is AMAZING! I had both a tummy tuck and a breast augmentation at the same time and Dr. Hynes used the Pain Pump for both surgeries. The pump literally made the pain a “non issue”, making recovery much easier.---Linda

Combining Cosmetic Surgery Procedures

Combining cosmetic surgery procedures will reduce your fees and your overall recovery time, meaning less time away from work and home activities.

Talk to Dr. Hynes about what other surgery options you might consider to reduce the costs for multiple procedures. Many women have combined a breast augmentation or lift with a tummy tuck for a “MOMMY MAKEOVER”. This is especially popular for women who have finished having children and say they “want their curves back”. If you have considered more than one cosmetic surgery procedure, Dr. Hynes will be glad to discuss these with you, too. It is not uncommon for patients to combine a breast surgery with a tummy tuck or liposuction.
