Abdominoplasty
Some people do dozens of crunches and abdominal
exercises a day and still find it impossible to
lose the excess fat and skin around the midsection.
Luckily, there is a solution—abdominoplasty.
Abdominoplasty, or "tummy tuck," is
a cosmetic procedure sure to give you sleeker,
more defined abs.
Abdominoplasty begins with an incision made from
one hip to the other, creating a skin flap. Next,
the skin is separated from the abdominal muscles,
which are then tightened, narrowing the waistline
and flattening the midsection. The flap of skin
is then folded down and excess skin is removed.
Last, the flap is replaced and the incision is
stitched closed. The entire procedure takes between
two and five hours, depending on how much work
is needed. Bruising and swelling (which typically
subside within 10 days) are the most common side
effects of abdominoplasty.

Liposuction
While sticking to a healthy diet and a regular
exercise regimen are the best ways to lose weight,
many people just can't seem to get rid of fat
pockets and cells from problem areas. This is
particularly true for the legs, buttocks, hips,
stomach, arms, chin, neck, and ankles. Liposuction
is a surgical procedure that targets these problem
areas and leaves your body more sculpted and toned.
Liposuction begins with a small incision in the
area to be liposuctioned. Next, a thin, hollow
tube is inserted into the incision, and fat cells,
pockets, and tissues are vacuumed out and discarded.
Liposuction is performed on an outpatient basis
under anesthesia and can last two or more hours.
Common side effects include temporary bruising,
numbness, soreness, and burning sensations, but
most of these effects will subside within a few
days' or weeks' time. Once the area has healed,
the patient should notice a firmer, tighter physique.

Brachioplasty
(Arm lift)
Do you not feel confident about your body because
you have flabby or untoned upper arms? Do you
shy away from tank tops and other warm-weather
gear? If so, arm lift might be just the right
procedure for you. During this surgery, excess
fat and tissue are removed through liposuction,
the use of a scalpel, or a combination of both.
The end result is firmer, more taut arms! To learn

Body
Lift
The benefits of substantial weight loss are seemingly
endless—improved overall health, boosted
confidence, a more fit body, a better outlook
on life. But unfortunately, extreme weight loss—such
as that experienced by a recipient of bariatric
surgery—can leave the skin stretched, sagging,
and loose. A body lift is performed to trim away
excess skin and tighten remaining tissue, leaving
the body taut and toned. The techniques used in
body lift are very similar to those used in abdominoplasty,
except that body lift is a more involved, in-depth
procedure. Body lift results can be life changing.
