Body Contouring
Body contouring refers to a variety of plastic surgery procedures that improve the overall shape and proportions of the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, legs and arms. Issues with body appearance can be due to excess fat, poor elasticity of the tissues, and/or excess skin. Each of these problems needs to be addressed in a different way.

- Liposuction.
An excellent way to shape the contours of the body by removing excess fat, many women and men choose a liposuction procedure. We use power-assisted liposuction, which is an innovative device that rapidly oscillates (vibrates back and forth) the metal suction tube (cannula), allowing it to pass through tissues with minimal trauma. Using this technique, we are able to reduce bleeding, bruising, and postoperative discomfort. For liposuction to be effective, the skin overlying the fat must be fairly elastic, so it can shrink down to accommodate the reduced volume of fat after surgery.
- Tummy Tuck
Patients are able to achieve surgical tightening of the abdominal skin and even tighten the abdominal wall as well through a procedure called abdominoplasty. Tummy tucks are the only way to properly correct loose, saggy abdominal skin, and stretched abdominal walls (frequently due to pregnancy or significant weight changes). The decision to perform a mini-abdominoplasty versus a full abdominplasty with internal tightening depends on the anatomy and surgical goals of each patient.
- Body Lift
surgery encompasses a number of procedures that are designed to "hoist up" and tailor the skin and connective tissue of the legs, thighs, buttocks, back and abdomen. This surgery is for patients who have a large amount of redundant skin and fat, and this surgery is often combined with an abdominoplasty. Frequently, patients who need this surgery have experienced a large weight loss and have excess skin left over. The degree of skin removal and tailoring is individualized to the needs of each patient.
- Labia Reduction.
Women who are unhappy with their vaginal anatomy with regards to physical comfort and appearance should consider labia reduction. Most people are unaware that surgery can be performed to significantly improve symptoms in this anatomical area. Reduction of excess vaginal tissue can be corrected with a relatively straightforward procedure called a labiaplasty, or labial reduction.
- Mother Makeover Makeover is a nickname for a combination of procedures that corrects some of the problems caused to a woman's body due to child birth. The common areas that are corrected with a Mother Makeover are the breasts, the abdominal wall and any excess fat that has accumulated around the waist. Depending on the patient, a breast augmentation, lift and/or reduction can be done to the breasts, while a tummy tuck and liposuction can be done to improve the look of the patient's torso.
- Arm Lift surgery (brachioplasty)is performed to tighten and smooth the appearance of the upper arms. In very mild cases, liposuction works well to improve the appearance of a heavy arm. In more severe cases, where there is loose skin, the excess tissue must be removed surgically in order to properly contour the shape of the arm. The amount of skin removed is based on the appearance of each patient.
