Tummy Tuck

Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that helps to flatten and shape the abdomen and waist by removing excess skin and fat and by tightening muscles. The best candidates are in good physical condition with loose skin or pockets of fat that haven’t responded well to diet and exercise.   It is often done for deformities that persist after pregnancy. 

Body Lift

Candidates for body lifts typically suffer from loose (inelastic) skin on many or most areas of the body as a result of age, childbearing or extreme weight loss due to diet, exercise or bariatric surgery. Because of this, it is often combined with other procedures such as breast lifts, facelifts and arm lifts to retain a proper body proportion. Body lifts can tighten and tone the abdomen, back, buttocks, hips and thighs.

Liposuction

One of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures, liposuction sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, chin, cheeks, neck and upper arms that have not responded to diet and exercise. Local anesthesia or general anesthesia may be used and the procedure can last anywhere from one to five hours depending on the amount of fat being removed.
