Liposuction

To see examples of Liposuction procedures, click here.

Liposuction, also called lipoplasty or suction-assisted lipectomy, removes deposits of excess fat from specific areas of the body or from your face and neck. For example, it can slim your hips and thighs, flatten your abdomen, or eliminate a double-chin. The results of liposuction can have a positive effect on the way you feel about yourself.

Liposuction is particularly well-suited for women and men who are of relatively normal weight but have isolated pockets of fat that cause certain areas of their body to appear disproportionate. These localized fat deposits may sometimes be an inherited trait and typically do not respond to dieting or exercise. Liposuction is often the only way to eliminate them.

Traditional liposuction involves introducing a large amount of fluid into the area to be treated and then using a cannula to vacuum the fat . A newer method in which ultrasound is used to break up the fat before it is suctioned is useful in certain situations. Liposuction is treated as an outpatient.

Tummy Tuck

To see examples of abdominoplasty procedures, click here.

Aesthetic surgery of the abdomen, also called abdominoplasty or "tummy tuck," is designed to firm and smooth your abdomen. Abdominoplasty, is a major surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall.  Women and men who have loose abdominal skin and fat that is concentrated in the abdomen can benefit from abdominoplasty.

Sometimes these conditions are inherited. In other instances, substantial weight loss may cause abdominal skin to become flaccid. Abdominoplasty also can tighten muscles that have been separated and weakened by pregnancy.
