Procedures

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck can help improve the shape and appearance of your abdomen by removing excess skin, repairing separated muscles, and eliminating stubborn fat. Women who have gone through childbirth are often excellent candidates for a tummy tuck, but men often have the procedure as well. The procedure is often combined with a breast lift for a mommy makeover.


Arm Lift


Many people struggle with flabby upper arms caused by dramatic weight loss, or simply aging or genetics. Known clinically as brachioplasty, an arm lift is becoming one of the most popular body contouring procedures performed as more people desired toned upper arms.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a safe and effective way to contour and sculpt different areas of your body and face. It’s important to remember, however, that liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure and good candidates for liposuction are already at or near a healthy weight before having the procedure.


Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover combines multiple body contouring and cosmetic breast surgery procedures for women who are concerned about the physical changes that remain after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.


CoolSculpting

It’s now possible to tone your body without surgery. CoolSculpting freezes fat cells without damaging tissue through the FDA-approved, targeted cooling process. The freezing process destroys fat cells, which the body then breaks down and eliminates. This non-surgical fat removal procedure is carefully controlled.


Body Contouring After Major Weight Loss


Whether through exercise and nutritional changes, bariatric surgery, or a combination of both, losing a significant amount of weight is an excellent personal achievement. Unfortunately, the excess skin that results can leave you frustrated. You can complete your personal transformation with a combination of body contouring procedures, often including a lower body lift, a back lift, a thigh lift, an arm lift and a breast lift.

Back Lift

Bulging flesh on your back can make clothes fit poorly and, for women, can make it very uncomfortable to wear bras and other clothing. If you haven’t achieved your goals for a body that’s firmer, more youthful-looking, and more proportionate to your overall body image, a surgical back lift may be a good option. A back lift reduces skin bulges or rolls in the middle and upper back by reducing excess skin, resulting in better-proportioned contours of the back.
