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.
