Abdominal
Liposuction
One
of the most common of all cosmetic
surgery procedures, abdominal
liposuction is a technique for
recontouring the body by permanently
removing fat deposits from the abdomen.
The tendency to accumulate fat in the
abdomen may be inherited, and this fat
is often especially resistant to diet
and exercise. In these cases,
liposuction can successfully trim excess
fat in the abdomen for a flatter abdomen
and more slender, balanced shape... more

Abdominoplasty
(Tummy Tuck)
Once
stretched by pregnancy or weight gain,
the abdomen often fails to return to its
original shape. Stretched beyond the
capacity to return to normal, these
tissues will also fail to respond to
exercise or diet programs. In these
cases, abdominoplasty can provide a
long-lasting solution. Abdominoplasty
is a frequently performed procedure used
to tighten overly stretched abdominal
muscles and skin for a smoother, flatter
appearance... more

Buttock
Liposuction
The
tendency to accumulate fatty
deposits on the buttocks may
be inherited, and these
deposits are often resistant
to diet and exercise. Many
patients become discouraged at
having lost unwanted pounds
without seeing a significant
change in this area. In
these cases, liposuction can
successfully trim excess fat
to bring better balance and
symmetry to the body. The
goal is to create a natural rounded
curve to the buttock that recalls the
look of the slim, well-proportioned
athletic body...

Thigh
Liposuction
Fatty
deposits on the inner and outer thighs
are especially resistant to diet and
exercise. In fact, this is the most
common area of the body for liposuction.
The overall proportions of the body may
be unbalanced. In these cases,
liposuction can successfully trim the
excess fat in the thighs to achieve a
more attractive balance and symmetry to
the body... more

Arm
Liposuction
Liposuction
is not a weight loss technique, and is
not a cure for overall obesity. It is,
however, a great way to get rid of those
bulges that you cannot seem to get rid
of any other way. The arms may be a
particular difficult area and often are
not improved by dieting... more

Arm
Lift (Brachioplasty)
The
effects of aging on the skin are
familiar to all of us. Over time, the
skin changes in four ways: it loses
thickness, loses elasticity, loses
adherence to the underlying tissue, and
is affected by gravity. One area where
these changes are especially apparent is
the upper arm. An arm lift (brachioplasty)
can lift and tighten up loose skin in
the upper arms, resulting in a firmer,
more youthful contour... more
