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.
