Arm Lift

Dramatic weight loss, aging and genetics can all lead to the appearance of “bat wing” arms, which can be addressed with an arm lift.

An arm lift, also called brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat in the upper arms and to reposition and tighten the skin and underlying structures. The results are permanent, and scarring is hidden in the armpit and inner arm area. 

We often combine arm lifts with other body contouring procedures to give our patients harmonious results. Arm lifts can even be paired with liposuction or be included as part of a comprehensive body lift. 

Body Lift

Massive weight loss and multiple pregnancies can result in loose skin in the abdomen, buttocks, thighs and arms. When this extra layer of tissue doesn’t “snap back” even after your diet and exercise attempts, a body lift can help restore your contours. 

A body lift is one procedure or a combination of several surgical procedures designed to remove excess fat and skin. We usually make a circumferential incision around the waist to lift and tighten these areas. 

Usual candidates for a body lift are patients who have lost a massive amount of weight after bariatric surgery, but anyone with excess and loose skin in multiple areas can be a candidate.

Brazilian Butt Lift

While there are natural and noninvasive ways to achieve a curvy and defined lower body, there are factors beyond your control that can get in the way. Your genes and aging, for example, can leave you with a flat and less-than-ideally shaped buttock area. A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is one way to enhance and improve the appearance of your lower body using your body’s own fat. 

A BBL combines liposuction and fat grafting to achieve a fuller and shapelier buttock and lower body area. Our surgeons use fat from the abdomen, flanks and back to slim down the waist and inject it into your buttocks in specific areas. The result is an hourglass figure and smoother and fuller buttocks that so many of our patients desire. 

Liposuction

Diet and exercise can help you achieve your ideal body shape, but there are instances where stubborn pockets of fat simply do not respond to these efforts. When that is the case, liposuction can be a helpful tool in achieving the contours of your dreams. 

Liposuction is a highly effective procedure that utilizes vacuum suction and cannulas to remove bothersome fat. It can be used on the thighs, back, abdomen, buttocks, upper arms and chin. This treatment can also be part of a different body contouring procedure, like the Brazilian butt lift or facial fat grafting. 

Two things our patients appreciate about liposuction are that the results are permanent and that the procedure leaves minimal scarring. 

Scar Revision

Surgery and injuries inevitably leave scars on your skin. When these scars are in visible areas or prominent, they can be bothersome and affect your self-esteem. Luckily, there are numerous scar revision techniques offered at our ambulatory center that can reduce the appearance of bothersome scars. 

Our plastic surgeons offer both surgical and nonsurgical scar revisions. Nonsurgical options include injections, laser and dermabrasion. Surgery can help reduce the appearance of a scar through advanced incision techniques or the use of skin grafts or flaps. 

Skin Cancer Removal

Getting a skin cancer diagnosis is never easy. Not only is skin cancer potentially dangerous, but it can also be disfiguring. Our board-certified surgeon, Dr. Naman, understands the emotional impact of skin cancer and makes sure to help his patients feel secure in getting treatment for their skin cancer and during their reconstructive surgery at our ambulatory center. 

Dr. Naman is trained and experienced in treating skin cancer using advanced surgical techniques, as well as in reconstructive surgery following cancer excision. 

Thigh Lift

As you grow older, your skin loses its elasticity. One consequence of this is saggy thighs, which can be both an aesthetic and functional problem. Saggy thighs often make you appear out of shape and older than you are. Your thighs can also rub against each other, leading to chafing, infections and discomfort. 

To correct this problem, our surgeons recommend a thigh lift. This surgical procedure removes excess skin and fat in the inner thighs through one or multiple incisions. In some patients, liposuction may be performed in conjunction to enhance results. A thigh lift can be a stand-alone procedure or combined with other body contouring treatments, like the Brazilian butt lift. 

Tummy Tuck

If there is one area of the body that is most prone to change as we grow older, it is the midsection. Weight fluctuations and multiple pregnancies often result in a stubborn pooch or loose and sagging skin on the abdomen. This problem is often impossible to correct with diet and exercise, but a tummy tuck can help.

A tummy tuck is a body contouring procedure where your surgeon removes excess fat and skin and tightens the abdominal muscles with sutures. It can be performed as part of a more comprehensive procedure, like the “mommy makeover” or a body lift.
