Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover can restore areas of the body that have been negatively affected by childbirth and breastfeeding. This package of procedures can include various breast procedures, a tummy tuck for a tighter and flatter abdomen, and liposuction to reduce excess stubborn fat.

Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty reshapes and tightens the tummy. It can involve removing sagging skin, tightening the remaining skin, repairing sagging abdominal-wall muscles, and removing abdominal fat with liposuction.

Body Contouring

Body contouring is an umbrella term for any procedure that addresses excess skin or stubborn fat. Contouring sculpts areas of the body, helping you achieve slimmer and better-defined curves. It is especially ideal after major weight loss, which can leave patients with large amounts of hanging skin. Examples of body-contouring procedures include the thigh lift, the arm lift, and the body lift.

Liposuction

Liposuction gives you a sleeker and more proportionate figure by removing stubborn fat that refuses to go away with traditional dieting and exercise. It requires making small incisions, followed by insertion of a thin cannula to suction out fatty tissue.

Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty can improve the appearance and functionality of the vagina by making changes to the inner and outer vaginal lips. It involves tiny incisions in key areas and reduction of excess tissue.

Thighplasty

Thighplasty reshapes and smooths the thighs by removing loose sagging skin and excess fat. The inner-thigh lift removes excess skin from the inner thigh to the pubic area, while the outer-thigh lift improves how you look when wearing shorts or swimwear.

Cellulite Removal

Cellulite removal reduces dimpling in the thighs and buttocks, restoring smooth skin. It requires releasing the fibrous septa that pull down the skin and constrict the fatty tissue.

Arm Lift

An arm lift gives you trimmer and more toned upper arms, reducing the appearance of sagging “bat wings.” Loose skin is removed, along with excess fat, and then the remaining skin is tightly redraped.

Upper Back/Bra Line Lift

The upper back/bra line lift removes annoying and stubborn back rolls. Incisions are made in areas that a bra or swimsuit easily conceals. Excess skin is removed, fatty tissue is taken out, and the remaining skin is repositioned and tightened.

CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive and non-surgical way to eliminate stubborn fat pockets in the body. It can treat a number of areas, including the abdomen, chin, and thighs. First, a gel pad is placed on the target area to protect the skin. An applicator provides controlled cooling, freezing the fat cells. These cells are gradually filtered out of the body, creating natural-looking contouring results.

Complex Abdominal Wall & Pelvic Reconstruction

These procedures can restore the abdominal wall or the pelvic region after cancer removal, complex wounds, or large hernias.

Hernia repair involves using a perforating-sparing method to preserve blood vessels while releasing abdominal-wall muscles to fix the hernia defect.

In pelvic reconstruction after an anal, rectal, or vaginal cancer surgery, healthy tissue is harvested from the buttocks, abdomen, and thighs and then transferred into the treatment area.

Chest-Wall Reconstruction

Chest-wall reconstruction surgery aims to restore the chest wall after surgery, damage from an infection, or other tissue trauma. Typically, healthy muscle tissue is transferred from one part of the patient’s body to the chest wall.
