Dr. Hall

Our office is comprised of experienced staff members who care for our patients from the very first consultation until the end when the patient is fully recovered and satisfied with his or her services.

"In my Plastic Surgical practice I strive to deliver what the patient desires in a safe, timely and comfortable manner. Education and care of the patient is of utmost importance for the entire office staff.

"The care of the patient in my office begins with the first consultation and does not end until the patient is fully recovered and satisfied.  I believe surgery should only be conducted by someone fully trained and qualified.

"That is why I have taken the years to complete a 5 year General Surgery Residency, a 2 year Plastic Surgery Residency and a Cosmetic Surgery Fellowship. I have also acquired Board Certification in General Surgery and Plastic Surgery as well as advanced certification in laser and endoscopic surgery. Few cosmetic surgeons in the nation have acquired this amount of training, certification and experience. "

This is best suited for women and men who have loose abdominal skin and/or a significant amount of abdominal fat that won't respond to dieting or exercise.

Women with an abdominal wall that has been weakened by pregnancy also are great candidates for abdominoplasty.

THE CONSULTATION A personal consultation is the first step for every patient considering abdominoplasty. During this meeting, I will assess your physical and emotional health and discuss your specific cosmetic goals for the procedure. The quality of your abdominal skin, amount of excess fat and status of the underlying abdominal wall will be assessed at your initial consultation. This exam will allow me to determine if you will benefit most from a full abdominoplasty, mini-abdominoplasty or liposuction alone. THE PROCEDURE After you are placed under a general anesthetic, a horizontal incision is placed just within or above the pubic area. The length of the incision depends largely on the amount of skin to be removed. I try to keep the incision within swimsuit lines, when it is possible. Working through this incision I will tighten the underlying abdominal wall by placing sutures in the strong fascia of the abdominal wall if needed. Any excess skin and underlying fat from the abdomen is trimmed away. Skin that contains stretch marks may be removed as well. THE RESULTS With a full abdominoplasty, all of the skin and underlying fat from the belly button to the pubic hair is removed. A full abdominoplasty will require an incision going from the pubic area to both sides. A second incision will be made around the navel so it may be positioned correctly after all the excess skin is removed. The "mini" abdominoplasty - This procedure may benefit you if you are primarily dissatisfied with the appearance of the abdominal area below the navel. A mini abdominoplasty requires only a short horizontal incision and no navel incision

Breast implant has become one of the most requested cosmetic procedures among women today, and it is available here in Kansas City at Dr. Gary Hall's practice. There are many reasons why women choose to get a breast implant, but primarily they undergo this procedure to improve their self-image. Some feel dissatisfied because their breasts never developed to a size that meets their expectations. Others want to bring balance to a breast that is somewhat smaller than the other. Often, women want the procedure to restore their natural breast volume, which may have decreased as a result of pregnancy, weight loss or aging. However all women who are considering getting a breast implant should have realistic goals and expectations for the procedure. Here in Kansas City, Dr. Hall can provide you with a better understanding of what is expected from an ideal breast implant patient.

Our website provides you with basic information regarding breast implants. We even offer some basic information on what is expected of an ideal breast implant patient. However if you still have questions, or would like to take the next step towards your cosmetic goal, feel free to contact our Kansas City office. We will provide you with the information you need and help you schedule a consultation appointment with Dr. Hall.
