Body Procedures

Arm Lift

After substantial weight loss or gain or merely as a result of skin elasticity loss, the skin in the upper arms may become loose and flabby. This loose skin, along with any underlying fat, may be removed with an upper arm lift. Sometimes liposuction is added to the arm lift in order to achieve the best possible results.

The Procedure

Depending upon the degree of loose sagging skin the incision may vary from a T incision in the axilla to a longer incision going from the axilla to just above the elbow. The usual incision is located in the back of the arm on its inner aspect so that the incision is not seem from the front and is only visible when the arm is raised.

Buttock Lift

A posterior body lift provides patients a more youthful-looking body contour by removing excess, sagging skin and uneven contours of the buttocks and lateral thighs.

The Procedure

A posterior incision above the buttock is used which removes excess skin, fat, repositions and tightens the buttocks and lateral thighs.

Liposuction

Liposuction removes localized and excess deposits of fat from specific areas of the face, neck, and body. This procedure is best for individuals at or within 30% of their ideal body weight and creates a better-proportioned figure.

The Procedure

Working through small incisions we use a cannula or hollow surgical tube to loosen fat and remove it through attached suction. A solution of saline with added epinephrine and local anesthesia are infused prior to treatment. Incisions are small, requiring few if any stitches. This is done as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia.

Thigh Lift

This lift reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin, and in some cases fat, resulting in smoother skin and better-proportioned contour of the thighs and lower body.

The Procedure

Incisions can vary based on the area to be treated. They can be placed in the incisions in the groin, extending downward and/or wrapping around the back of the thigh. The underlying tissue and skin will be reshaped and tightened. This is done as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck corrects a loose, protruding or sagging abdomen and creates a flatter, tighter abdomen by surgically removing excess abdominal fat and skin. May include tightening of the abdominal wall where muscles have spread apart.

The Procedure

Incision is at or just above the pubic area. Great care is taken in planning the placement of incisions to optimize body proportion and allow numerous fashion options. This is done as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia.

Mommy makeover is a combination of breast and body contouring procedures geared towards helping mothers regain their pre-pregnancy physiques. Some of the procedures mothers pursue more often include breast lift with or without breast implants, tummy tuck and/or liposuction.
