Liposuction – Providence
Many people, men and women alike, are dissatisfied with an area of their body that has been resistant to the effects of diet and exercise. Genetics can play a large role in where we gain and hold on to weight. If you are in good health, but have localized pockets of fat, you may be a good candidate for Providence Liposuction.
Liposuction is a procedure in which tiny incisions are made in the troubled area, and a long, skinny tube, called a cannula, is inserted which vacuums out the excess fat cells. Liposuction can be performed on virtually any area of the body from the face and neck to the arms, stomach, “love handles,” and thighs. Often a Liposuction procedure may be performed in conjunction with other Body Contouring procedures like a Tummy Tuck.

Providence Gynecomastia Treatment
The condition causing overdeveloped breasts in men is known as Gynecomastia and is a very common condition that, in many cases, is outgrown. However, for some men, it can stay with them for the rest of their lives. This condition can be a tender source of teasing and insecurities. For men with Gynecomastia in one or both breasts, Male Breast Reduction surgery may be the only way to achieve the chest they want. In a Male Breast Reduction procedure there is a small incision made around the areola and excess grandular tissue and skin is excised. Liposuction can also be used to remove any excess fatty tissues in the male breasts, or in other areas of the body. Contact our office today to schedule your consultation.
Providence Chin and Cheek Implants
Many women desire the high cut cheekbones held high as a standard of beauty. Well defined cheekbones can create more harmonious facial angles and symmetry. Often cheek implants may be performed in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as a face lift or rhinoplasty. Cheek implants aren’t just for women, though, many men also opt for cheek implants to enhance their facial features.
Another popular procedure is chin implants which can help in defining the jaw line and creating a stronger presence. Chin implants are also often be done in conjunction with rhinoplasty to ensure ideal facial harmony. Interested in finding out more?

Providence Thigh Lift
Having lean, long legs is a common desire among women and while there is nothing that can be done to lengthen the legs (short of wearing high heels) the leanness of the legs is something that can be accomplished. Many women achieve the leaner legs they desire through exercise and diet. For those who’ve lost a significant amount of weight, however, the “lean” may be achieved, but is hidden by excess, loose, hanging skin that was unable to adjust to the weight loss due to loss of elasticity. For other women, the “lean” may be more difficult to impossible to achieve through diet and exercise alone due to genetic pre-disposition. For either of these cases, a Providence Thighplasty may be the best option for creating the leaner legs desired.
Thighplasty, or Thigh Lift surgery, is a procedure in which excess skin is removed from the upper portion of the legs. In cases in which excess fat also needs to be removed, Liposuction may be done in conjunction with the Thigh Lift procedure. It is common for other body contouring procedures to be performed with a Thigh Lift, as well, such as a Buttock Lift or Tummy Tuck. If you are unhappy with your thighs, contact our office to schedule your confidential consultation with Dr. Zienowicz to find out if a Thigh Lift surgery may be right for you.
Providence AMBRA & TABA Procedures
Dr. Zienowicz specializes in many plastic surgery procedures for the breast, body and face. For patients who would like to see an improvement in both their breasts and abdomen, as is particularly common after child bearing, Dr. Zienowicz offers two cutting edge procedures: AMBRA and TABA.
AMBRA, which was developed specifically by Dr. Zienowicz, stands for Augmentation Mammaplasty by Reverse Abdmonioplasty. In other words, a breast augmentation which uses the fat from the abdomen to fill out the breasts, while removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen. You can read all about the procedure in Dr. Zienowicz’s scholarly publication online pdf on AMBRA.
TABA is similar to AMBRA in that it is a procedure to both enhance the breasts and to improve the contour of the mid-section. Where TABA varies from AMBRA, however, is that instead of using your abdominal fat to fill out the breasts, it utilizes the help of breast implants (silicone or saline). These implants are placed in through the abdominal incision and, as in AMBRA, the excess skin and fat of the abdomen is removed.
You can view before and after photo’s of previous TABA patients in our online gallery. If you are interested in learning more or finding out if you are a good candidate for either procedure, contact our office to schedule your consultation with Dr. Zienowicz.
