SURGERY

Enhance breast size, improve symmetry, restore lost volume, and more with breast augmentation, which involves implants inserted into strategic positions to create new contours.

Rather than adding volume, a breast lift repositions sagging breasts so that they sit higher and create a perkier look.

Some patients choose breast reduction to get rid of excess volume and weight. This surgery has many benefits, including relief from the strain and pain of heavy breasts.

Patients who need or want to have their current implants removed and new implants inserted—due to rupture, other complications, or a change in preference of style or size—can have a breast revision.

There are several factors that can cause men to develop the appearance of breasts. Gynecomastia surgery addresses this condition to create more traditionally masculine chest contours.

The goal of a tummy tuck is to create a flatter, firmer belly. This may involve any combination of removing excess fat, trimming away loose skin, repairing abdominal muscles that have separated, and repositioning the navel.

Liposuction is the surgical removal of excess fat cells, which may be broken up with manual force, motorized movement, or ultrasound energy. The procedure can be applied virtually anywhere stubborn fat congregates on the body.

Compare the unique benefits of fat reduction alone with the more involved techniques that make up an abdominoplasty by exploring lipo vs. tummy tuck.

Often, reducing or shaping just one feature or area of the body is not enough to create new, natural-looking proportions. Body contouring is a holistic approach that may involve a single procedure or procedures carried out in stages, all customized to your unique goals.

Contouring procedures specifically aimed at addressing changes caused by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding can be combined into a Mommy Makeover, which may include any number of breast or body surgeries.

The successful loss of significant weight can have great health benefits, but also leave behind loose skin that couldn’t keep up with the shedding pounds. Post-weight loss surgery provides a definition that allows new contours to be seen.

Sagging skin on the upper arm can be removed via an arm lift. Known as a brachioplasty, it is ideal for addressing the condition known as “bat wings.”

Time, sun damage, and weight loss can cause skin and other tissues to migrate downward. A lower body lift reverses these effects for the belly, thighs, and buttocks.

As a contouring technique with a specific focus, a thigh lift can reduce stubborn bulges and tighten lax skin for a sleeker look.

Childbirth and aging can create laxity in vaginal tissues, leading to changes that can impede function and make patients feel self-conscious about form. Labiaplasty reduces and shapes labia that are overly large or asymmetrical.

Sagging on the lower face and neck can be addressed with a facelift, which removes excess skin, as well as shapes and tightens underlying tissues to improve definition.

A brow lift corrects a sagging forehead or “heavy” brow by shaping muscles and other tissues, as well as possibly removing loose skin if needed.

A drooping eyelid or eyelids, as well as a “pouchy” look below the eyes, can be corrected with upper or lower lid blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift. The surgery may involve removing lax skin and excess fat, shaping muscles, and repositioning tissue.

A rhinoplasty can accomplish any number of cosmetic changes for the nose, including reducing its width or length, removing a hump on the bridge, reshaping the tip, straightening crookedness, and more—and can improve function as well.

“Pinning” the ears to the sides of the head to keep them from protruding as much or reshaping them to make them more symmetrical or proportional is technically known as otoplasty, but is more commonly referred to simply as ear surgery.

Fat grafting is a sophisticated surgery that involves taking fat from an area of the body where there is plenty, processing it, then injecting it into an area or areas that need more volume, such as the midface or lips.

Cheek augmentation can be performed on its own, typically as part of a nonsurgical plan involving dermal fillers, but may also be included in a lift that addresses sagging on the lower face.

An implant can be used for chin augmentation, inserted through an incision made in the mouth in order to improve definition and projection on the lowermost feature of the face.
