Arm Lift Referred to clinically as a brachioplasty, an arm lift is a procedure wherein saggy, drooping skin on the arms is trimmed away and reduced.

Arm Lift

Referred to clinically as a brachioplasty, an arm lift is a procedure wherein saggy, drooping skin on the

arms is trimmed away and reduced. Uneven fat pockets in the area of the upper arm are also smoothed

away, while tissues that support and connect the arm’s internal structures are tightened, providing improved definition and shape.

Breast Augmentation

The clinical term for breast augmentation is augmentation mammoplasty. In this procedure , the doctor

uses implants or fat (known as fat transfer augmentation) to increase the size and/or volume of the

breasts. This procedure is often performed on women who’ve experienced unwanted changes in their breasts after weight loss or pregnancy.

Breast Lift

Referred to clinically as mastopexy, a breast lift literally raises and reshapes the breasts through the

removal and tightening of excess skin and tissue in and around the chest area. This procedure helps to

restore a more youthful and shapely look to the breasts and has actually become significantly more

popular than breast implant procedures.

Breast Reconstruction

Reconstruction of the breasts, which allows significant restoration of shape and size lost to mastectomy,

is accomplished through a sequence of plastic surgery procedures. Although reconstruction can help

reestablish confidence and a sense of normalcy, women who choose it should keep in mind that

complete replication is not possible, and that significant changes in sensation and feel will occur. Reconstruction patients should expect some scarring as well.

Breast Reduction

Also known as reduction mammoplasty, breast reduction is used to create a breast size that’s more in

proportion with overall physique. For many women, reducing breast size through the removal of excess

fat, skin, and glandular tissue can provide significant relief from back pain, improving posture and reducing the likelihood of certain long-term health problems.

Eyelid Lift

Eyelid lifts (blepharoplasty), which reduce bagginess from the lower lids and/or excess skin from the

upper, are generally performed for cosmetic reasons. That said, this procedure can also be helpful in

certain patients for whom drooping eyelids have become a physical impediment to normal vision.

Male Breast Reduction

Hormonal imbalances, genetic disorders, and certain diseases or drugs can cause abnormal breast size

and development in men. Medically, this condition is termed gynecomastia. It can occur in men of all

ages and is surprisingly common, sometimes warranting surgical reduction, which helps return the breast to a more normal appearance.

Nasal Cosmetic Surgery

Rhinoplasty, as this procedure is known medically, is usually performed for its cosmetic benefits, which

include improvement in overall facial symmetry, alignment, and proportionality. However, this

procedure can also be used to fix structural deficiencies in the nose that may impede normal breathing and airflow.

Skin Tag Removal

Skin tags are small, benign, fleshy skin growths. Although they can develop on virtually any part of the

body, skin tags commonly appear on the eyelids, neck, armpits, and breast and groin areas. While nearly

everybody develops these flappy protrusions at some point in life, they are more common in obese

individuals who are middle aged. Methods for removing skin tags include freezing, tying off, and cutting.

Thigh Lift

A thigh lift is similar to an arm lift in that it’s designed to tighten and reshape this area of the body

through removal of excess skin and fat. The goal is to achieve a smoother, more proportional look in the

lower body, with improved contours and definition. Thigh lifts are sometimes used in conjunction

without other plastic surgery procedures such as liposuction.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck – known clinically as abdominoplasty – can strengthen the abdominals, making them

firmer and more defined. Used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen, this

procedure can greatly improve overall muscle tone, functionality, strength, and appearance. The

procedure can serve as a great tool in helping achieve fitness and weight-loss goals.
