Cosmetic Surgery & Services
Many times, surgical intervention can help enhance or improve your overall appearance and help you realize your ideal aesthetic. We offer services designed to help you look younger, thinner or more suitable to your desires, according to your specific needs. Below is a list of the plastic surgery and non-surgical services we perform.
Body Contouring
Arm Lift
Changes in weight, advancing in age and even genes can cause the upper arm to have a sagging, drooping appearance. Although you may be able to strengthen and tone the underlying muscle with exercise, you may not be able to address the excess skin that has lost its elasticity.
If the undersides of your upper arms are saggy and loose because of excess skin and fat build up, an arm lift can restore your arm to its natural appearance.
An arm lift procedure:
-
Reduces excess skin and fat between the upper arm and the elbow
-
Smooths the skin and contours of your arm
-
Restores a more toned, proportionate upper arm
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical reshaping procedure that lifts the underarm region up to the elbow, reducing sagging skin and creating a toned, tightened, defined upper arm.
Candidates for this procedure are healthy adults with significant upper arm skin elasticity who maintain a stable weight and are not overweight. Candidates must also be non-smokers who do not have medical conditions that would interfere with healing.
The results of arm lift surgery will last many years, provided that you maintain your weight and general health. As you age, it is natural for the skin to lose some firmness, but the improvement of the procedure should be relatively permanent.
Body Lift
A healthy diet and exercise can result in a well-toned body with smooth contours, but in many cases, exercise alone cannot achieve the desired response for people who have loose, sagging skin or uneven contours. In addition to genetic factors, age, exposure to sun, pregnancy and weight fluctuations can all contribute to poor skin elasticity and sagging in the arms, thighs and abdomen.
A surgical body lift can help you achieve a more youthful, firmer-looking body. It improves the shape and tone of the skin, as well as addressing dimpled, irregular skin surfaces commonly known as cellulite.
A body lift procedure:
-
Can raise up excess skin in the abdomen, both locally or extending around the sides and into the lower back.
-
Addresses a sagging groin area that may hang loose around the inner thigh
-
Tightens the thigh area, including inner, outer or rear thigh
Please note: This procedure will not remove excess fat. In instances when skin elasticity is poor, a combination of a body lift procedure and liposuction may be recommended.
Candidates for this procedure are individuals with soft tissue looseness in one or more body areas, healthy adults who do not have medical conditions that may interfere with healing, non-smokers and people committed to leading a healthy lifestyle.
The results of a body lift are immediately noticeable, but may take up to one or two years to fully achieve the desired results. As you age, it is natural for the skin to lose some firmness, but the improvement of the procedure should be relatively permanent.
Buttock Lift
For people who have loose, sagging skin around their buttocks, exercise alone is unlikely to produce a well-toned appearance with smooth contours. In addition to genetic factors, age, pregnancy and weight fluctuations can all contribute to poor skin elasticity and sagging in the buttocks.
A surgical buttock lift can help you recapture a youthful, firmer looking body. It improves the shape and tone of the skin, as well as addressing dimpled, irregular skin surfaces commonly known as cellulite.
A buttock lift procedure:
-
Can raise up excess skin in the buttocks, which may be shaped unevenly or hang low and flat
-
Address sagging skin that may hang loose around the rear thigh
-
Tighten the buttock area
Please note: This procedure will not remove excess fat. In instances when skin elasticity is poor, a combination of a buttock lift procedure and liposuction may be recommended.
Candidates for this procedure are individuals with soft tissue looseness in one or more body areas, healthy adults who do not have medical conditions that may interfere with healing, non-smokers and people committed to leading a healthy lifestyle.
The results of a buttock lift are immediately noticeable, but may take up to one or two years to fully achieve the desired results. As you age, it is natural for the skin to lose some firmness, but the improvement of the procedure should be relatively permanent.
Liposuction
Even in individuals who maintain good health and a reasonable level of fitness, disproportionate contours and fat deposits may still develop. These may be due to genetics rather than individual health or lack of weight control. Liposuction removes excess fat deposits in specific areas of the body, slimming and reshaping the desired areas to enhance your self-image.
A liposuction procedure can reduce localized deposits of fat in the following areas:
-
Chin, cheeks and neck
-
Calves and ankles
-
Hips and buttocks
-
Upper arms
-
Thighs
-
Chest area
-
Abdomen
-
Waist
-
Back
-
Inner knee
Liposuction can be performed alone, or can be used in combination with other procedures to achieve the desired results.
Candidates for this procedure are individuals with soft tissue looseness in one or more body areas, healthy adults who do not have medical conditions that may interfere with healing, non-smokers and people committed to leading a healthy lifestyle.
The results of liposuction are immediate, but it may take several months for the swelling to fully dissipate. Results should continue as long as you maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle.
Thigh Lift
It can be difficult to enhance the appearance of your thighs with exercise and a healthy diet alone. If you’re interested in tighter, more toned thighs and haven’t achieved the desired results with exercise and healthy eating, a thigh lift procedure may be right for you.
A thigh lift can:
-
Reduce excess skin, and in some cases fat, in the thigh area
-
Smooth the skin of the thighs
-
Create more pleasing, better-proportioned contours in thighs and lower body
Candidates for this procedure are individuals with a relatively stable body weight, healthy adults who do not have medical conditions that may interfere with healing, non-smokers and people committed to leading a healthy lifestyle.
The results of a thigh lift are immediately noticeable, but may take several months to fully achieve the desired results. As you age, it is natural for the skin to lose some firmness, but the improvement of the procedure should be relatively permanent.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures. A well-toned abdomen is a highly desired trait. Many strive to achieve this through exercise and weight control, but these methods sometimes fall short of our personal goals. Even people who maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle can still develop an abdomen that protrudes or is loose and sagging due to aging, pregnancy, changes in weight, heredity or even prior procedures.
A tummy tuck can:
-
Remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen
-
Restore weak and separated muscles
-
Create an abdomen that is firm and smooth
Candidates for this procedure are individuals who feel their tummies are too large, adults with a relatively stable body weight who do not have medical conditions that may interfere with healing, non-smokers and people committed to leading a healthy lifestyle.
The results of a tummy tuck should be relatively permanent, although previous abdominal surgery may limit the potential results. For women who have undergone cesarean sections, the existing scar can be incorporated into the new scar of the tummy tuck procedure.
