Liposuction
Suction-assisted lipectomy , or liposuction,
uses a mechanical suction to break up and remove fat. Surgeons combine
these techniques including "tumescent" or "super-wet"
lipoplasty, depending upon the individual case. With ultrasonic body
contouring, patients can often return to work within a few days, depending
upon the extent of the surgery. As with traditional liposuction, fat
cells are removed permanently.

Tummy Tuck
The Tummy tuck, (Abdominoplasty)
procedure can help rid you of the extra weight around the abdominal
area when diet and exercise just aren't enough. a tummy tuck can help
you achieve a firmer, flatter abdominal profile. As a result of pregnancy,
weight gain, genetics or other factors, the abdominal skin may become
loose and wrinkled. Excessive fatty tissue and loose skin are removed
from the middle and lower sections of the abdomen.

Facelift
The Facelift (rhytidectomy) is
a surgical procedure used to smooth the loose skin on your face and
neck, and to reduce the most apparent signs of aging in the facial area,
giving you a more youthful appearance. The procedure involves reducing
the creases from the nose and mouth, the slacking jaw line and sagging
jowls and fat deposits around the neck by removing excess fat and tightening
underlying muscles, and redraping the skin on the face and neck. Though
the procedure cannot give you a completely new look it can give you
a younger, fresher look, and can also have a positive effect on your
self-confidence.
