Women’s bodies undergo many changes following pregnancy, childbirth and nursing. Many of these changes can be improved though committed diet and exercise. After the gym there are other options to restoring your shape and contour. The most common is liposuction. Due to anatomic changes in the tissues forming the abdominal wall, some women require a different procedure that addresses the wrinkled, excess abdominal skin and the laxity of the abdominal wall itself. The procedure is called an abdominoplasty, or euphemistically a “tummy tuck.”

Women who desire larger breasts may wish to have a breast enlargement procedure. Breast enlargement surgery may also be indicated for women who have one breast that is noticeably smaller than the other. Breast enlargement is intended to give the patient larger and more shapely breasts. A more positive self image may also be a result of breast enlargement.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes moderate amounts of fat from specific areas of the body to restore shape and contour. To do this, a small incision is made through which a thin hollow tube called a cannula is inserted into fatty deposits. The cannula is connected to a vacuum that removes the fat. The surgeon shapes the fat deposits creating a new contour to your silhouette. The incisions are hidden in skin folds that are imperceptible when healed. After the procedure you will wear a compression garment to minimize the swelling and bruising. Remember, liposuction is not a substitute for overall weight loss, exercise and a healthy diet. Fat cells do remain in the surgical sites and will re-accumulate bulk with weight gain. The rule I use: weight loss improves results from liposuction and the converse, weight gain significantly detracts from the results.

Everyone loves full and shapely breasts. Bathing suits fit better, evening dresses show a more curvaceous silhouette, and hips appear smaller. From a woman’s perspective, these attributes engender self-esteem and a sense of femininity. Sometimes, however, Mother Nature is not so generous, leaving you with disproportionately small breasts. Luckily, this can be corrected with Aesthetic Breast Surgery.

Breast augmentation is more popular now than ever before and the types of implants available continue to expand and improve. With the introduction of a new generation of FDA-approved silicone gel implants, women now have more options than ever before in selecting the implant that is best for each woman’s body. The latest improvement for enhancement of the breast with saline implants is the High Profile implant, which maximizes the options for shaping a narrower breast with a taller projection.
