Tighten Loose Skin with a Tummy Tuck

It can sometimes seem next to impossible to get rid of the excess skin on your stomach after having children, losing a significant amount of weight or simply aging. Tummy tucks, or abdominoplasty, can be the solution you have been searching for if the skin on your abdomen has loosened or sagged. At Eskra Plastic Surgery, our medical professionals can help you decide if a tummy tuck is the right choice when it comes to feeling confident in your body.

Understanding Abdominoplasty Surgery with Dr. Eskra

Our plastic surgery center prioritizes your overall health, ensuring that you understand the details of abdominoplasty before scheduling your surgery. A tummy tuck flattens your abdomen by tightening its muscles and removing extra fat and skin. This is not a weight loss surgery and tends to work best for those who have lost weight and are left with sagging skin.

Eskra Plastic Surgery offers two kinds of abdominoplasty. Complete abdominoplasty is from hipbone to hipbone to below your belly button, while mini or partial abdominoplasty is just below the navel. The latter surgery only takes up to two hours, as a complete abdominoplasty can sometimes be as much as five hours.

As with any plastic surgery procedure, there are risks to tummy tucks. Tummy tuck recovery can include a sore stomach and swelling, which sometimes lasts several weeks or months. Talk with us before the surgery to discuss the length and placement of the scars to maximize your satisfaction with the results. We’ve seen that the best way to keep your new tummy tuck is through diet and exercise.

Schedule a Consultation for Your Tummy Tuck Plastic Surgery

If you are considering a tummy tuck surgery, learn more by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Eskra. We will define your goals for your surgery with you, as well as discuss tummy tuck costs, as most insurance companies do not usually cover abdominoplasty unless done for medical reasons.

Consider Liposuction in with Dr. Eskra

Liposuction is a popular body plastic surgery that is sometimes unfairly referred to as an unsafe procedure. At Eskra Plastic Surgery, we guarantee that our liposuction is a safe, effective way to enhance your body’s contours. Dr. Eskra is board certified, and our plastic surgery center is licensed to perform liposuction.

Not only that, but our professionals are careful in the patient selection process and make sure that you are a candidate for our Goldsboro liposuction surgery, as your overall health is our primary concern. The best candidates for liposuction are generally healthy, are non-smokers, have realistic expectations of reaching within 20% your ideal body weight, and can maintain a consistent weight or have had success in losing weight.

Our Liposuction Surgery & Recovery

Liposuction is not a weight loss operation, but can be a great way to get rid of areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. By limiting the amount of fat suctioned, the safety and results of the operation are increased, as your skin shrinks down to the new contour.

Eskra Plastic Surgery offers the following types of liposuction:

• Arm liposuction
• Thigh liposuction
• Flank liposuction
• Abdomen liposuction
• And more

Dr. Eskra performs liposuction procedures while the patient is under general anesthesia. Patients commonly take one to two weeks off of work before gradually returning to their regular activities.

It is important for patients to know that liposuction costs can vary, as it is usually only covered under insurance if it is part of a breast reduction surgery.

Remove Excess Fat for Smooth Contours

Our plastic surgery center wants to you to feel confident and healthy about your body. If liposuction is the right answer for you, Eskra Plastic Surgery is here to walk you through the procedure and answer any questions you may have, from your first appointment to the recovery process. Read our patient stories to see how our patients are happy with their body plastic surgery results, and contact us at 919.587.4400 or online to schedule an initial consultation today!

Define Your Arms with an Arm Lift at Eskra Plastic Surgery

As men and women age or gain weight, our upper arms can become saggy and tired, creating droopy skin that can’t be corrected through exercise. If you are searching for a way to get rid of arm fat, consider an arm lift in at Eskra Plastic Surgery. Our body plastic surgeries are safe and effective, helping you achieve youthful, full arms that are free of excess weight.

Eliminate Arm Fat through Brachioplasty

Whether you have lost a large amount of weight or would just like to improve your physical appearance, an arm lift surgery (also known as brachioplasty) can provide the shapely arms that you’ve been wanting by:

• Reducing sagging skin under your arms
• Tightening and smoothing underlying support issues
• Defining your arm shape
• Decreasing pockets of fat in your upper arm

As with any plastic surgery, Dr. Eskra can determine if you are a candidate for an arm lift during your initial consultation, during which he can thoroughly explain our process. Our arm lift plastic surgery includes making an incision on your arm and removing excess fat (usually through liposuction) while you are under general anesthesia.

Arm lifts are a safe procedure and while there are always some risks, the biggest downside for patients tends to be the scars. However, most patients consider the scars from surgically removing your “bat wings” to be a fair tradeoff for increased self-esteem and body image.

Post-Pregnancy Surgery at Eskra Plastic Surgery.

Are you wondering if you’re a good candidate for a mommy makeover? Mothers that come to Eskra Plastic Surgery for post-pregnancy surgery often say that they are unhappy with their breast size, shape or position, as well as the excess fat around their tummy, thighs, love handles, hips, etc. If these areas have not slimmed down even with diet and exercise, removing them through plastic surgery can be an effective solution.

Our patients are most satisfied with their results when they enter the surgeries with realistic expectations and understand the details of the procedures and recovery process. Mommy makeovers are most effective if you are done having children and maintain your current weight or are able to lose weight. That said, your results may be compromised if you get pregnant again or gain significant weight. Recovery time can vary between patients, in addition to the number and severity of the  procedures you receive.

What is Body Contouring?

Body contouring, or a body lift, is a plastic surgery after weight loss that removes excess fat and skin while shaping your underlying support tissue. The outcome is a smoother figure that is a better fit to your body’s frame.

Non-Surgical

Freeze Fat Away in with CoolSculpting®

If you have been searching for a way to get rid of love handles, muffin tops, double chins and other stubborn areas, Eskra Plastic Surgery offers a way to reduce the appearance of fat through.

CoolSculpting is a safe, FDA-certified fat reduction treatment that just takes three months for your final results. What makes this cosmetic plastic surgery so easy is that all you have to do is maintain your current weight — no new medications or habits are necessary!

Try Our Non-Invasive Plastic Surgery

As a non-invasive plastic surgery, CoolSculpting takes about an hour. During the procedure, the CoolSculpting device suctions to your body on the treated area, then cools the fat cells under the skin, crystallizing them. Then, your body naturally flushes out the fat cells, eliminating them from your body. The treated area may feel cold while the device is working, but that sensation quickly goes away. Patients are completely awake during the procedure and usually read, watch TV or surf the Internet while CoolSculpting is at work.

Come to Dr. Eskra for Satisfying CoolSculpting Results

The result is smooth contours that are free of excess fat, which appear gradually during the procedure. After a series of treatments scheduled over three months, additional sessions usually aren’t necessary, but CoolSculpting can be repeated if you would like to further your results. Eskra Plastic Surgery recommends that you maintain your current, weight and diet exercise routine for the highest level of satisfaction with this fat reduction treatment.

For a simple way to rid your body of excess fat cells, freeze them away with CoolSculpting. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Eskra by contacting us at 919.587.4400 or by filling out our online request form to learn more about our Goldsboro body sculpting and to begin your treatment.

Remove Painful Skin Lesions with the Experts at Eskra Plastic Surgery

Lesions aren’t just unsightly — painful lesions can change your daily routine, impacting how you live your life and interact with others in public settings. Lesions are skin areas that are damaged by several different factors, including genetics, sun exposure or age. While they might be nothing to worry about, lesions can be a sign of skin cancer. That’s why it’s important to get your skin lesions checked by the skin experts at Eskra Plastic Surgery.

Dr. Eskra specializes in keeping your skin as beautiful as possible, which is where our lesion removal offerings come into play. Skin lesion removal can be performed by a physician, who may also want a pathologist to look at the affected tissue under a microscope. Eskra Plastic Surgery can be an integral part of that treatment in caring for the patient’s skin.

Your skin lesion treatment will begin with a consultation at our plastic surgery facility. This allows Dr. Eskra to thoroughly examine the lesion, as well as the rest of the affected area. The techniques that he uses to remove the lesion will be a direct result of this consultation. One of these may include skin grafts, if the area that needs to be removed is a large one.

After lesion removal, recovery may take a few weeks while your skin heals. It is important to ask Dr. Eskra any questions that you may have, so that your lesion site heals as efficiently as possible. You can likely expect a swift return to your daily activities following this procedure.

Treat Painful Cysts with Cyst Excision

A ganglion cyst is a specific kind of cyst that develops on your hands or fingers, resulting in a sometimes painful condition. A cyst itself is best defined as a non-cancerous, fluid-filled ball that can develop for a number of reasons. You may initially notice it as a lump under your skin, which can cause discomfort over time if it is near or on a joint, tendon or nerve. You may be more prone to developing a ganglion cyst if you suffer from osteoarthritis or have had a previous joint or tendon injury.

If you notice a ganglion cyst on your hands, the quality care you need is at Eskra Plastic Surgery. During your initial consultation, Dr. Eskra can answer any questions you may have. He may also ask if you have ever had arthritis, or if you regularly experience certain symptoms. This will help him decide which cyst excision procedure makes the most sense for you.

Surgery to remove the ganglion cyst will involve taking out both the cyst itself and the stalk that it uses to attach itself to the affected tissue. Dr. Eskra will make other recommendations about your recovery period, which may include the use of over-the-counter pain medications.

Remove Cysts with Help from Eskra Plastic Surgery

Offering Effective Hand Surgery

Whether your hand pain is caused by your workplace habits or trauma, Eskra Plastic Surgery has the ability to treat your problem through hand surgery. Dr. Eskra is well trained in a number of hand surgery and has the expertise needed to walk you through your options and provide an effective treatment.

Hand Problems Treated by Dr. Eskra

At Eskra Plastic Surgery, we are more than happy to work with your orthopedist, primary care physician or other health care provider to make sure that you receive the best treatment that prepares for a quick recovery. Our plastic surgery center can take care of any of the following hand problems listed below.

Carpal Tunnel Release

After a patient is diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (and the causes are determined), Dr. Eskra is available to help manage your condition. Treatment options can vary from modification of activities and splint to surgery. Carpal tunnel release involves releasing the transverse carpal ligament, which removes the compression of the nerve. Some patients feel immediate improvement, while others take months. Regardless of the length of the recovery period, most patients overall report significant improvement and can return to work within a few weeks.

Tendon Repair

Because of the lack of subcutaneous tissue protecting hand tendons, these injuries (including those to the nerves or blood vessels) often require special care and surgical repair. After Dr. Eskra performs your tendon surgery, there are several follow-up visits and physical therapy sessions to ensure optimal healing.

Fracture Repair

As hand fractures often involve injuries to tendons, nerves and blood vessels, there are several different treatment options available, including splinting and operative fixation. Eskra Plastic Surgery can help you find the best treatment for your individual needs, depending on your hand fracture, daily activities and available time off from work.

Trigger Finger Release

Tendons that cause thumbs and fingers to glide smoothly can sometimes catch on pulleys. Over time, this pulley can prevent full movement of fingers. Initial trigger finger treatment usually involves steroid injections, but surgical release may eventually be needed. This surgery is performed by Dr. Eskra and is an outpatient treatment. The recovery is quick, and allows for a prompt return to most activities.
