Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty or "tummy tuck" is now available
in many forms. The optimal treatment of the abdomen
depends on whether the problem is mostly unwanted fatty
tissue or loosened excess skin. When excess fat is the
primary problem then liposuction is the best alternative.
However, once the skin and deeper tissues have been
excessively stretched, then they need to be tightened
with a tummy tuck. A full abdominoplasty not only removes
extra skin and fatty tissue, but it involves tightening
the muscle layer of the abdomen. This results in a tight,
flat tummy.
Mini-abdominoplasties are designed for excess skin
and bulging of the lower portion of the abdomen (below
the belly button). There are many variations in-between,
which are tailored to fit your needs.

Liposuction
By carefully removing excess fatty deposits, usually
in the outer thigh (saddlebag area) or abdomen, a more
pleasing contour can be obtained. Even with proper exercise
and diet, many people cannot get rid of unwanted fat.
That is when liposuction is most effective. The surgery
is done as an outpatient under general anesthesia because
it reduces pain, swelling and fluid loss.

Thigh Lift
Thigh lifts are done most often in cases of extreme
weight loss. A less popular treatment than liposuction
because of the potential for visible scarring, thigh
lift can produce great results. With the thigh lift,
the skin is tightened to make the thigh look more attractive.
Upper Arm Reshaping/Arm
Lift
Similar to the thigh lift, this procedure is designed
to remove excess, sagging skin. It is most effective
in those patients who have recently lost large amounts
of weight, leaving an excess of skin and underlying
fat which will not conform to their new body shape.
Buttocks
Contouring
Buttocks contouring improves and/or removes excess,
sagging buttocks and thigh skin that has developed as
a result of weight loss, aging and gravity, or hereditary.
The result is more flattering and toned butt and thigh
contour.
