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 Liposuction
Dr. Hynes uses Ultrasonic Liposuction for his patients. This state-of-the-art
procedure has proven to have better and safer results for patients seeking
Liposuction procedures. It is performed in the safety of a hospital setting
and a general anesthetic is used. There is minimal blood loss during
the procedure and thus the procedure is safer. There is better skin shrinkage
following the Ultrasonic Liposuction giving a smoother more desired result.
Patients report very little discomfort following the Ultrasonic Liposuction
and limited “down time” afterward.
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 Laser Liposuction
One of the newest and more advanced forms of Liposuction that combines
the heat of the laser to liquefy the fat and provide body contouring of
the body.
Other benefits are:
- Performed in the office laser suite
- Only local anesthesia required; no heavy sedation
- Very small incision (only 1 stitch required to close)
- Faster recovery, Less down time
- Costs are generally less
- Minimal discomfort

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.
Kansas City MOMMY MAKEOVER
One of the newest trends in Cosmetic Surgery is the MOMMY MAKEOVER. It is a combination of Cosmetic surgeries performed on the same surgery day to help young mothers regain their pre-pregnancy shape. Most commonly it is the combination of a Breast Augmentation or Lift and a Tummy Tuck. Many post-pregnancy women have returned to their ideal weight, they are fit and lead healthy life styles. However, following their pregnancies they have flabby tummies and breasts that no longer have the fullness they once had and some women wear bras that are one full size or more smaller than they did before having children.
There are definite advantages to combining these 2 surgeries of a Mommy Makeover. One is the cost is usually less than having the 2 procedures done separately as there is only one Anesthesia required and one out patient hospital stay. Also, the patient has less total "down time" as she only recovers from one day of surgery. Combining these 2 surgeries is also safe. A 10 year retrospective review of 268 patients in a medical study completed in 2007 found that combining breast surgery and a Tummy Tuck – commonly known as a "mommy makeover" – is a safe and effective option for healthy patients. All of these surgeries were performed by Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in the United States. The complete study was published in the March/April 2009 issue of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal. Dr. Hynes has performed 100's of the Mommy Makeover surgeries and he is an Expert in combining cosmetic surgery procedures.

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.
