CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical procedure for eliminating body fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. By freezing and destroying fat cells, the treatment offers Palm Harbor and Clearwater patients lasting improvement for problem areas. CoolSculpting can help re-contour the chin, abdomen, bra pads, arms, flanks, inner and outer thighs, and “banana rolls” (fat under the buttocks). Patients can expect a 20-25% reduction in fat per treatment.
Moraitis Plastic Surgery is a CoolSculpting-certified practice. Dr. Moraitis and his team have completed advanced training in the procedure and maintain the most up-to-date technology available, which enhances patient comfort and procedural effectiveness.

For many, it’s the “belly pouch” or lax skin and stretch marks that they want to improve. But for many Palm Harbor and Clearwater men, their concerns are the “love handles,” a “pot belly,” or a “spare tire.” Male Abdominoplasty Surgery, or “Male Tummy Tuck,” is an increasingly common procedure performed by Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Isidoros Moraitis.

Sometimes people lose a great deal of weight through diet and exercise. Other times it results from bariatric surgery such as gastric bypass surgery, stomach stapling surgery, or lap band surgery. After massive weight loss, many Palm Harbor and Clearwater residents find that they are left with loose and sometimes hanging skin.

As we age, the upper arm can begin to sag with gravity, skin laxity, and thinning skin. Significant weight loss can also contribute to this. Despite rigorous arm exercises and diet, some patients find that they cannot tighten and tone their upper arms because of this laxity.

As an experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Moraitis has spent years providing Palm Harbor and Clearwater patients with features that are fit, firm, and natural-looking. With a tummy tuck, he sculpts a flatter abdomen and revises excess skin and lax abdominal muscles: concerns that diet and exercise may not improve.
Dr. Moraitis will take the time to conduct a thorough examination and to understand your goals so that he can recommend the appropriate version of the procedure. Typically, this is either a full tummy tuck—which treats the abdomen from the rib cage down—or a mini-tummy tuck, which addresses lax skin and muscles below the navel.

A Lower Body Lift, also known as a Circumferential Body Lift or Belt Lipectomy, is a single surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the central third of the body. The procedure flattens the stomach, elevates the thighs and buttocks, and contours the hips.

Thigh Lift Surgery, also known as Thighplasty, is a surgical procedure that improves the contour of the thighs and lateral buttocks by lifting and tightening loose skin in the area, resulting in a more flattering lower body. Dr. Moraitis may recommend this procedure if you have excess or loose and sagging skin in the thighs.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that eliminates fat from targeted areas of the body. You may be a good candidate for treatment if you have trouble spots that have been resistant to diet and exercise. Palm Harbor and Clearwater patients commonly benefit from liposuction around the chin, arms, abdomen, love handles, hips, and thighs, though the treatment can also be used in other locations.

A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures that can help you regain your pre-baby body. The treatment can be both restorative and aesthetic; a mommy makeover can return youthfulness to your features that have changed following pregnancy as well as revise targeted areas based on your goals.
