Body Lift

A decrease in skin and tissue elasticity can be caused by aging, sun damage, pregnancy, fluctuations in weight and genetic factors and result in excess sagging. Areas for body lift procedures include abdomen, buttocks, groin and thighs.

Body lift procedures include removing sagging, excess fat and skin and can improve the shape and tone of underlying body tissue and improve the appearance of the skin surface.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical technique that improves the body’s contour by removing excess fat between the skin and muscle. Liposuction involves using a small stainless steel tube, called a cannula. The cannula is connected to a powerful suction pump and inserted into the fat through small incisions in the skin. Fat removal is accomplished as the suction cannula creates tiny tunnels through the fatty layers. After surgery, these tiny tunnels collapse, resulting in an improved body contour.

Common Areas

Liposuction removes fat deposits that can be difficult to get rid of through diet and exercise. Common areas for liposuction include the cheeks and chin, neck, upper arms, abdomen, buttocks, hips, thighs, knees, calves and ankles.

Outpatient Procedure

Liposuction is generally an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia, and side effects include temporary swelling, bruising and soreness. More extensive liposuction procedures may be done in a hospital setting under general anesthesia.

Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)

Aging, heredity and fluctuations in weight can affect skin elasticity causing your thighs to have a drooping, sagging appearance. This is a condition that cannot be totally corrected through exercise.

Thigh lift surgery reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin, and in some cases fat, resulting in smoother skin and better-proportioned contours of the thighs and lower body. Results are visible almost immediately, but it may take several months for the results to fully develop.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Even individuals of otherwise normal body weight and proportion can develop an abdomen that protrudes or is loose and sagging.

A tummy tuck involves removing excess fat and skin and, in most cases, restores weakened or separated muscles creating a smoother and firmer-looking abdominal profile.

Upper Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Aging, heredity and fluctuations in weight can affect skin elasticity causing your upper arms to have a drooping, sagging appearance. This is a condition that cannot be totally corrected through exercise.

An arm lift is a surgical procedure that reduces excess sagging skin, tightens and smooths the underlying supportive tissue that defines the shape of the upper arm and reduces localized pockets of fat in the upper arm region creating a firmer, smoother, more toned appearance.
