Body Contouring

Body Contouring

Body Contouring is the surgical alteration of the body's shape or form. Several procedures allow us to improve body contour and give our patient's excellent results.


Liposuction

Inherited traits often prevent people from achieving their desired body shape. Even years of exercise may not yield significant or noticeable results in certain people. For many, the answer is liposuction, a surgical procedure which extracts fat from specific areas of the body. Following the procedure, patients can expect a slimmer, more shapely figure.


Abdominoplasty


A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that extracts surplus fat and tissue from the abdominal region. It is especially helpful for men who retain excess weight in their mid- sections and in women who have undergone multiple pregnancies. Following abdominoplasty, patients can expect a flatter, more contoured and visually satisfying stomach.

Male Breast Reduction

Gynecomastia, or male breast reduction, is a condition that exists, in varying degrees, in almost half of all men. While the surgery may be performed on men of any age, it is discouraged for those who suffer from obesity, as well as for men who drink alcohol excessively and/or smoke marijuana. Gynecomastia extracts excess fat and tissue from the breast to produce a flatter, more masculine shaped chest.
