Rhinoplasty

Breast
Women often have a breast augmentation to change the shape or size of their breasts. An implant is inserted into the breast tissue. Many women have them done to improve self-confidence or self-image. After pregnancy or weight loss, the breasts can change shape resulting in the desire for surgery. Breast reductions and breast lifts are other procedures commonly performed.
Abdominoplasty
Commonly referred to as the tummy tuck, abdominoplasty changes the abdomen shape by removing skin and fat in excess. The surgery does not remove stretch marks but can improve the way the tummy area looks. Separated or weakened abdomen muscles are common after pregnancy making this a popular procedure as part of a mommy makeover.
Facelift
The skin on the face can sag, droop, loosen and wrinkle as you age. A facelift takes away excess skin and lifts the tissues on the face. Many patients also have a neck lift, eyelid surgery, nose reshaping and forehead lifts performed at the same time.
Liposuction
There are a variety of ways doctors can remove excess fat buildup in the body. Liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss but can improve the body’s shape. Ultrasounds may be necessary prior to the procedure to help break up deposits of fat. A vacuum-suction canula goes beneath the skin to remove those fat deposits on the hips, arms, back, stomach, buttocks, thighs and even face.
