Body Surgery
Body Contouring
After weight loss, many patients turn to surgical body contouring as a means to correct loose, hanging skin in multiple areas. Surgery can address irregular skin contour on the face, neck and jowls, upper arms, breasts, abdominal area, buttocks, groin and thighs.
Body Lift
Body lift surgery, also known as a belt lipectomy, is performed on patients who are at a stable body weight and struggle with excess skin on the inner/outer thighs, buttocks, hips, and abdomen.
Buttock Lift or Augmentation
Buttock surgery can enhance the shape and projection of the buttocks. The procedure is performed for cosmetic reasons, or for treatment of injuries and contour deformities that are present after massive weight loss.
Calf Implants
Calf augmentation (or calf implants) is an option for patients who want to enhance the shape of the lower leg. The surgery may be performed for cosmetic enhancement or to correct a shrunken lower leg.
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is performed to reduce labia minora that is affected by enlargement or asymmetry. Aside from improving symmetry, the additional goals of a labiaplasty are to improve hygiene and self-confidence.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a method for slimming specific areas of the body. The surgery is ideal for patients who exercise and eat a healthy diet, but still struggle to eradicate fat deposits in certain areas.
Male Breast Reduction
Male breast reduction is for men who struggle with excess fat and breast tissue that cannot be reduced through diet and exercise, but must be removed surgically. The doctor uses liposuction and excision techniques to remove the excess tissue.
Pectoral Implants
Pectoral implant surgery is designed for men who wish to enhance the shape and contour of their chest but cannot achieve their goals through weight lifting.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a procedure to treat unsightly veins. A sclerosing solution is injected into the vein, causing the vein to collapse, close and disappear.
Thigh Lift
Thighplasty is an option to remove troublesome skin and fat from the thighs. The procedure is ideal for patients who are at a stable body weight, are non-smokers and who are motivated to improve their body contour.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty) is an ideal surgical procedure for individuals who have lost weight, but still struggle with excess skin and fat around the midsection.
Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction
UAL is similar to traditional liposuction, except the doctor uses ultrasonic energy to target and breaks up fat cells before removal. This technique can provide the surgeon with greater precision in liposuction, and shorter recovery time for patients.
Upper Arm Lift
Also known as brachioplasty, an upper arm lift contours arms by removing the excess skin and tissue. This surgery is commonly performed for patients after significant weight fluctuations or aging.
