Body Procedures
For everyone, our bodies can make us self-conscious at times. Whether you’ve had rapid weight loss that resulted in loose skin or your breasts are drooping due to age, here are procedures that can help improve your body shape.
Breast Augmentation
If you have a desire for fuller breasts or to restore breast volume after weight deduction or pregnancy, breast augmentation is a possible solution. This procedure can increase the fullness and projection of your breasts, improve the balance of your figure and enhance your self-confidence or self-image.
Breast Reduction
Women with overly large breasts can suffer from a variety of discomforts. If you experience self-consciousness, skin irritation beneath the breast crease, or back, neck and shoulder pain, breast reduction may be a solution for you. This procedure, also know as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure which can make the breasts smaller, lighter, firmer and more proportionate to the rest of the body.
Breast Lift
Breasts are not immune to the aging process. As women age and go through various life changes such as pregnancy, aging and weight fluctuations, droopy breasts can occur. The good news is deflated or droopy breasts can be corrected with a breast lift. The breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure which can raise and reshape sagging breasts.
Tummy Tuck - Abdominoplasty
Despite our best efforts at diet and exercise, the abdomen can loosen, sag or protrude due to pregnancy, age, fluctuation in weight or heredity. The tummy tuck, known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that can help restore a smoother and firmer appearance by removing excess fat and skin. It can also restore weakened or separated abdominal muscles.
Mini Tummy Tuck - Partial Abdominoplasty
A mini tummy tuck, also known as partial abdominoplasty, is a procedure for men or women whose condition is not severe enough for a full abdominoplasty. This procedure can improve excess fat and loose skin of the lower abdomen.
Body Lift Surgery
Significant weight loss can result in rapid and dramatic results. But for some, the downside to this can lead to an excess of loose or hanging skin as well as residual areas of fat. Others may experience this due to aging, genetics or pregnancy. With a skillful surgeon, the body lift can improve your shape to its rightful proportions.
Liposuction - Body Contouring
For some, that little bulge of fat may not budge despite the vigorous attempts at diet and exercise. This can be contributed to fat cells that will not shrink. For those who want to get rid of these fat cells, liposuction may be the answer. This procedure, also known as lipoplasty, removes deposit of excess fat from specific areas that may include the body, face, or neck.
Arm Lift - Brachioplasty
Aging, heredity or fluctuations in weight may be factors in the drooping and sagging appearance of your arms. While you may routinely diet and exercise, the upper arms can be a challenging area to tighten and tone. The arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure which can reshape the upper arm between the underarm and elbow.
Belly Button Surgery - Umbilicoplasty
The belly button is the focal point of the abdomen and for some individuals, may be a body part that makes them self-conscious. A belly button may have been misshapen from birth, altered due to an accident, weight changes or pregnancy. If you are not happy with your belly button, umbilicoplasty can help by reshaping the belly button to create a more attractive appearance.
Thigh Lift
Excess skin and fat can develop in our thigh areas making them flabby or loose despite our best efforts at diet and exercise. The reasons for this can be attributed to numerous factors such as age, weight fluctuations, heredity or even simple gravity. The thigh lift can help by removing excess skin and sometimes excess fat. The result is a firmer, smoother and more toned thigh and lower body contour.
Labiaplasty
The Labia is a very personal body part for a woman. It encompasses the four folds of tissue of the female external genitalia. For some women, an enlarged labia can be an uncomfortable condition, while others would like to have a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Dr. Stevens, who focuses not just on natural results but the comfort of his patients as well, offers labiaplasty at his Beverly Hills facility, the Lasky Clinic.
Calf Implants - Calf Augmentation
Whether you’re a body builder, unhappy with your lower leg shape or suffer from a birth defect, calf implant surgery can enhance the size and shape of your calves by using soft, solid silicone implants for your legs. Calf implants, also known as calf augmentation, can also improve the proportion with the thigh, correct thin or bowed legs, or balance out asymmetrical calf muscles.
Nipple/Areolar Reduction
For some women, an unattractive nipple or areola appearance can be a source of physical dissatisfaction. The nipples may appear too large, long or droopy, or if receiving a breast augmentation or reduction, the proportion may need to be adjusted to the new transformation. All of these conditions are easily remedied with nipple and areola reduction.
