Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty helps to flatten and shape the abdomen and waist by removing excess fat and skin and tightening muscles.

The best candidates have pockets of fat or loose skin that haven't responded well to diet and exercise.

The procedure can also be useful for women with stretched skin and muscles from pregnancy.
Recovery time ranges from two weeks to a few months.

With a balanced diet and regular exercise, results are long-lasting.
Abdominoplasty will likely leave a permanent scar stretching between the hips, although it should be low enough for even a bikini to conceal it.

Liposuction

One of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures, liposuction sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, chin, cheeks, neck and upper arms that have not responded to diet and exercise.

In all types a tiny incision is made in as inconspicuous a place as possible; a cannula (small tube) then breaks up the fat layer and suctions it out.

Arm lift

After substantial weight loss, weight gain or simply from the effects of aging, skin on the upper arms can become inelastic, loose and flabby.

Arm lifts, also known as brachioplasty, remove that excess skin and fat.
Patients who have significant amounts of fat may want to consider combining the procedure with liposuction.
