Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) helps to flatten and shape the abdomen and waist by removing excess fat and skin and tightening muscles. The best candidates for a Tummy Tuck have pockets of fat or loose skin that haven’t responded well to diet and exercise. Abdominoplasty can also be useful for women with stretched skin and muscles from pregnancy. With a balanced diet and regular exercise, Tummy Tuck results are long-lasting. Abdominoplasty will likely leave a permanent scar stretching between the hips, although it should be low enough for even a bikini to conceal it.

The most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedure in the U.S., breast augmentation can give women with small or unevenly sized breasts a fuller, firmer, better-proportioned look through the placement of implants in the breast. Women may elect to undergo breast augmentation for many different medical and aesthetic motivations, including balancing breast size and compensating for reduced breast mass after pregnancy or surgery. The procedure may be combined with others such as a breast lift for more satisfying results.

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is performed to return youthful shape and lift to breasts that have sagged as a result of weight loss, pregnancy, loss of the skin’s natural elasticity or simply the effects of gravity. The procedure can also reduce areolar size (the dark skin surrounding the nipple), and it can be combined with breast augmentation for added breast volume and firmness. Breasts of any size can be lifted, but results last longest when they are originally small and sagging.

Large breasts may cause physical and mental discomfort and can even harm the women who have them - the size and weight of large breasts can result in self-consciousness, improper posture, pain in the back and neck, indentations from bra straps, skin rashes, breathing problems and skeletal deformities. Breast reduction surgery is usually done to provide physical relief from these symptoms, not for cosmetic reasons. Performed under general anesethesia, the two- to four-hour procedure removes fat and glandular tissue and trims resultant excess skin to produce smaller, lighter breasts that are in healthier proportion to the rest of the body.

Facial plastic surgery is a form of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery to correct and improve the appearance and function of structures in the face, head and neck.

One of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures, liposuction sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, chin, cheeks, neck and upper arms that have not responded to diet and exercise. Local anesthesia or general anesthesia may be used and the procedure can last anywhere from one to five hours depending on the amount of fat being removed.

Furrows and deep wrinkles are caused by contractions of the underlying facial muscles of expression. When you smile, laugh, frown, or look puzzled, you contract the muscles of your face, deepening these lines. The more expressive you are, the deeper these lines and wrinkles can be. Although you may feel you have earned every one of them with life's dealings, BOTOX® treatments can prevent you from having to show them anymore.
