Breast Surgery
Breast surgery is a common cosmetic procedure, whether it’s to make the breasts larger, smaller, fuller, or more symmetrical. Learn more about the types of breast surgery procedures we offer.
Body Contouring / Liposuction
Liposuction effectively removes excess fat deposits to help you achieve a slimmer look. You may exercise and diet but still have problem areas where fat remains. Liposuction uses small, thin tubes inserted through small incisions to suction away those stubborn fat deposits. Liposuction is popular among both women and men.
Areas where liposuction can provide contour and shape include the thighs, abdomen, arms, back, hips, buttocks, and chest. Depending on the volume of fat being removed, liposuction may be performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia.
If there is excessive skin in addition to fat, then body contouring may be necessary to address both skin and fat deposits.
Liposuction and/or body contouring can also be performed in conjunction with other procedures such as facelift, breast surgery, or tummy tuck.
Tummy Tuck
After pregnancy or significant weight loss, you may develop excess skin, weakened core muscles, trouble spots that won’t go away, or all of the above. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a common surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens and strengthens abdominal muscles for a sleek, more toned silhouette. Learn more about tummy tuck surgery.
Mommy Makeover
Having children is an incredibly rewarding aspect of a woman’s life, but it can also bring unwelcome changes to the body. Pregnancy and nursing can affect women to a differing extent. The most common concerns women have include sagging breasts with loss of volume, excess or stretched skin, separation in abdominal muscles, and excess weight.
A Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures to address post-pregnancy concerns, and most of our patients simply want to regain some of their prior shape. We celebrate all shapes and sizes of women, and we want to help you achieve the look that is confidently you.
The most common procedures include:
