Dental Extractions for Individuals in the Tampa Bay Area

While keeping your natural teeth intact is always the goal, there are times when a dental extraction is necessary. For example, teenagers undergoing orthodontia may need to have one or two teeth removed to make room for other teeth to shift into place. Or if you have a tooth that is decayed or infected, an extraction will help to keep the infection from spreading. Impacted teeth, as well, require this procedure. The team at Tampa Surgical Arts in Odessa, Florida, performs dental extractions for individuals of all ages in the Tampa Bay area, and we’ll be glad to provide the expert services you seek.

About the Procedure

A dental extraction is a relatively simple outpatient procedure. You’ll be given a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth being extracted and then the tooth will be quickly and safely removed. Some patients may require additional bone grafting depending on the tooth’s location. This is because removing a natural tooth can affect the structure of the jawbone and lead to jawbone loss. Bone grafting will ensure the jawbone can maintain its natural structure.

What to Expect During Recovery

Once your dental extraction is complete, you’ll be able to go home to recover. Here are some things to keep in mind:

The gauze we place over your surgical site is important—bite down on it for at least an hour to aid in clot formation.
Reduce swelling by applying an ice pack to your cheek for 10 minutes at a time.
Do not use a straw for at least a few days. Doing so risks dislodging the clot and can lead to a painful condition called dry socket.
In the first 24 hours after the extraction, do not rinse your mouth at all. After that time period, you’ll want to start rinsing regularly with salt water (half a teaspoon of salt mixed with 8 ounces of warm water).
Eat only soft foods following your procedure. (You can reintroduce other foods after 24 hours.)

Schedule a Consultation

If a dental extraction has been recommended by your dentist, we can help. Contact us today to schedule a consultation. Our clinic is located in Odessa, FL, and we serve patients throughout the Tampa Bay area.

VOLUME

A common question we get it is, "How much fat was transferred?"

The amount of fat to achieve a certain look is highly variable and depends on multiple factors.

Some have a better starting buttocks foundation and will require less fat.

Others have a significant amount of volume loss and will require more fat.

This beautiful client wanted a rounder and perkier buttocks.

We delayed her procedure a few times because of challenges in gaining weight.

***How much volume do you think was transferred for this case?

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES the amount of fat volume your case might require.

Procedure: HD Liposculpture 360 + Skinny BBL⚡️🍑

Starting Foundation: 5`7", 138 lbs, BMI: 21.6

WEIGHT GAIN

Some clients who request a `skinny BBL` will have to gain weight.

We have had some individuals with a BMI of 19 or less who might have to gain 8 lbs, and other clients with a BMI of 22 might have to gain 10+ lbs.

Not all body types are the same.

After reviewing your goals, body composition, and overall health, an appropriate recommendation will be made.

This beautiful client wanted to fill her hip dips and gained 10+ lbs prior to her procedure.

***Who else is excited to see how this one turns out?

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES if you need to gain weight prior to your BBL.

Procedure: 4D SVELTE abs/arms/IT + Skinny BBL⚡️🍑

Starting Foundation: 5`2", 137 lbs, BMI: 25.1

ASYMMETRY CASES

When there is a curve of the back (scoliosis), typically, the hips follow, making the buttocks also asymmetrical.

Fat transfer (BBL) in these cases is extremely challenging because of the underlying discrepancies in anatomy, which makes the amount of fat uptake very unpredictable.

Usually, one side of the buttocks has tighter tissue in the laterals but more relaxed tissue in other parts of the buttocks.

A well thought out plan with the surgeon will be the difference maker.

This beautiful client came to see me for a balanced and athletic appearance buttocks.

She is now 1 year out.

***Do you think we improved her asymmetric hip dips?

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES the challenges of asymmetry cases.

Procedure: 4D SVELTE abs/arms Liposculpture 360 + BBL⚡️🍑

DOWNTIME

Most clients experience a few weeks of social downtime.

In our experience, clients rate their overall discomfort as moderate during the first few weeks.

Interestingly, clients also say they had less discomfort with their revision procedure with us compared to the first procedure elsewhere.

This beautiful client came to see me for a revision after having lipo elsewhere.

***What do you think of her new curves?

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES how much downtime you should expect.

OPTIMIZING RESULTS

Liposculpture focuses on the clients underlying anatomy to achieve a balanced appearance.

The old way of `lipo` to remove the most amount of volume as possible, without paying attention to body type, is not commonplace anymore.

This beautiful woman is 1 year out and keeps looking better because of her commitment to a healthy lifestyle combined with a positive mindset.

***Let me know what you think about this one.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES how you can optimize your results.

LATEST TRENDS

The most common requests we get are skin tightening and obtaining curves without fat transfer.

Some clients will benefit from both internal and external skin tightening.

Others will need some type of skin removal to achieve their desired look.

Fat transfer is best for those who want highly accentuated curves and/or who have volume loss.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES the latest trends in body contouring.

CURVES + TRANSITION AREAS

Some clients who request a round 2 BBL will benefit from fat transfer to the areas on the upper and lower side (laterals) of the buttocks to create a balanced look.

BBL`s that are `larger` will look good on individuals who have matching thighs/legs.

When the transition areas (waist to buttocks and buttock to thighs) are smooth, the body sculpting results reach another level.

This beautiful client had her round 1 BBL elsewhere and came to see me for a round 2 BBL.

BBL QUALITY

There continues to be a surge in demand for fat transfer (BBL) at our facility.

The amount of fat uptake can be highly variable.

Some factors that determine the quality of fat are:
✔️Where the fat is removed from
✔️Area of the buttocks the fat is transfered to
✔️Genetics
✔️Overall health
✔️Lifestyle

This beautiful client wanted a balanced and curvier shape.

She is now 1 year out.

***The best results consistently are in those individuals who have a positive outlook on life.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES the BBL quality factors.

Procedure: HD Liposculpture 360 + BBL⚡️🍑

ENTRY POINTS

Entry ways are usually a topic of discussion and has been covered multiple times before, but it is definitely worth reviewing.

The technique we use utilizes all hidden entry points, and we are able to achieve this with the use of custom-made contouring cannulas.

If your surgeon can`t do your surgery safely and consistently; then it doesn`t matter where the entry points are.

Using discreet entry sites all while achieving a balanced look is by far the most challenging and, in turn, the most sought after.

This beautiful client wanted a natural BBL with hidden entry sites.

***Let me know if you can see the entry points by commenting below.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES if they use hidden entry points.

Procedure: 4D SVELTE abs/arms (Internal/External RF) + Skinny BBL⚡️🍑

ANESTHESIA

A very common question we get is, "Do you do awake procedures?"

In our hands, to achieve the results on our page with all hidden entry points while being awake would be impossible.

Safety is our top priority, and we use the latest updates in anesthesia in addition to a modified ERAS (shorter recovery and less post op discomfort) for all of our procedures.

Some facilities will specialize in awake procedures, and we applaud them for it.

However, many of our corrective revision cases happen to be from facilities that do awake procedures and were unable to meet clients` goals.

***This beautiful client wanted the BBL shape without getting fat transfer. Do you think we got this one right?

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what type of anesthesia they use.

LIPOSCULPTURE + HEALTH

There have been multiple suggestions out there that our clients` results are photoshopped/not real.

We agree, sometimes the results definitely look too good to be true, and it is easy to be in disbelief.

The common theme from those with phenomenal outcomes is a commitment to their overall health.

If you are living an unhealthy lifestyle with no motivation to be better, body contouring is definitely not for you.

If you are committed to a change, then body sculpting might be for you.

A large majority of our cases are revision work/correcting irregularities from other providers.

Those who understand that their commitment to living a healthy lifestyle after the procedure will lead to the best outcomes, typically do have results that match their dedication.

***Comment below on this beautiful woman`s commitment to herself and matching transformation at 1 year post op.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

BBL REDUCTION

A growing trend we are seeing at our facility is a request for `BBL reduction.`

The common theme we are seeing is that clients feel that they are okay with the fat transfer but want to be more balanced.

This means that the buttocks/hips should match the legs/thighs with smooth transitions lines.

The laterals are the most challenging area to predict (highly variable fat uptake) and also the most common area we are seeing to be reduced.

Most providers will add more `volume` to this area because of how challenging it is, but sometimes the excess volume will not be proportionate.

Even in the best hands, a round 2 might be required for optimal contours.

This beautiful woman is super early in the healing/compression phase, but due to the surge in requests, we are sharing her journey.

***Do you think she looks more balanced now? Comment below.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES if you are a candidate for BBL reduction.

NO TRICKS, ONLY TREATS

The best way to determine if you qualify for a procedure is to use our complimentary evaluation form.

Some notes about what will not make you a candidate:
1. Not within surgery center guidelines (BMI too high, number of previous procedures, smoking, etc..)
2. Unrealistic expectations/rude to team members

The process and experience should be an enjoyable treat for all parties involved.

If we don`t think we can meet that standard, then you unfortunately will not be a candidate.

There are no tricks that will make you an ideal candidate; simply follow our protocol in the profile guide.

This beautiful client was an extremely challenging revision case (first lipo done awake by another provider) and she is now 2 years out.

***Scroll down to see other posts and how she continues to make progress along her journey.

VOLUPTUOUS

An often forgotten term but still very meaningful in the body contouring world is: voluptuous.

The new word that clients might use during a request is THICC.

Both terms are very similar and describe a full figured and curvy body.

This beautiful client wanted to have a very curvy body, and the challenge in this type of case is maintaining the proportionate look.

When the curves are too extreme, it will look unnatural; her frame supports the `voluptuous` appearance.

Some clients will need a round 2 BBL to achieve the THICC body type, but we were able to do this case with a round 1 BBL only.

***Let me know if you can see her entry points in the comment section below.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES how to get voluptuous body sculpting.

0.72

The waist to hip ratio (W::H) that is published in medical journals to be `ideal` is 0.72

What we find in our clients is that one measurement doesn`t typically fit all body types.

Most of the contouring we do ends up with a lower W::H ratio (which translates to more curves).

Balance has been our mantra from day 0, so focusing on an `ideal` ratio isn`t the best for any of the parties involved.

This beautiful client previously had 3 C-sections and came to see me for a `skinny BBL.`

At her most recent visit, her W::H ratio was 0.64 and will likely continue to settle at a lower number (which is consistent with most of our clients).

***We used the latest techniques of combining internal/external skin tightening plus C-section scar release.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES if W::H ratio matters.

AB SCULPT + FINE TUNING

There is a misconception that they higher the BMI, the more challenging the case.

For some procedures, this might be true.

For ab sculpting, typically the thinner the client is, the less forgiving the tissue is.

This means that creating balance and paying attention to subtle areas of selective fat removal and strategically leaving fat in other areas is extremely important.

This beautiful client had lipo elsewhere and came to see me for a revision.

***Notice how the gentle `S shaped` curve of the back matches the same type of curve in the abdomen when viewed from all angles.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what ab sculpt and fine tuning is.

Procedure: Revision 4D Ab Sculpting ⚡️

KEY ZONE + LATERALS

Secondary/Round 2 BBL`s are more about fine tuning than creating drastic changes.

The lateral buttocks (hip dip area) is an extremely challenging area to correct while still maintaining balance.

Oftentimes, a round 2 BBL is needed to round out the hips.

This beautiful client had lipo 360 plus BBL elsewhere and was left with irregularities after her first procedure.

She came to see me for a revision of her abdomen plus fat transfer with a focus on a rounder and perkier buttocks.

This case was particularly challenging because of the scar tissue from the first procedure and a history of infection/necrosis from a previous BBL.

***Check out her key zone plus laterals and let me know what you think in the comments section.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES the importance of the key zone plus laterals in secondary BBL`s.

TOTAL BODY CONTOURING

There are many forms of art, which can also be an expression of oneself.

Tattoos are a form of body art, which some may or may not appreciate.

Dancing is an art of self-expression, which some may or may not appreciate.

Similarly, total body contouring can be viewed as a form of art, which some may or may not enjoy.

This beautiful client is expressing herself after total body sculpting.

This was a revision case that involved body sculpting plus fat transfer.

***If you don`t appreciate expressive art, that`s okay, but remember to be kind.

The clients who typically have the best results understand that body sculpting is a journey, and reflecting back to where you started from will give you perspective.

Body contouring most likely will not create miracles, but instead help create balance.

She consistently expresses positivity, and her body matches her vibrant personality.

CURVES

In our opinion, one of the most important factors in body sculpting is getting the curves right.

This means smooth transition lines and, of course, balance.

When the body has an extreme amount of curves and irregular transition areas, it will look unnatural.

Some prefer an exaggerated look, but the most common reason we are seeing secondary cases is to restore balance.

This beautiful woman initially had lipo and fat transfer (BBL) by another provider.

She came to see me for a revision procedure to help create more appropriate curves that are balanced and smooth.

***All revision/secondary cases are reviewed to determine if another procedure will make an improvement.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what it means to have curves.
