Body LiftIf you have been successful with massive weight loss, we first want to say Congratulations! This is a big accomplishment and we understand the hard work and dedication that it has taken. We would like to help you to complete your journey and become proud of the new body you have worked so hard for.
After massive weight loss, the extra folds of skin can be a real problem for wearing clothes and being as active as you'd like to be. Also, the abdominal wall and the muscles have been stretched out, only adding to the problem. One of the most common surgeries used today for this problem is a body lift, sometimes called a belt lipectomy. In this procedure, the excess skin and fat is removed from around your belt line, leaving you with a trim waist line and a scar which is easily hidden. The procedure is usually done as an outpatient and the recovery time is typically between two and three weeks.
Please come in for a consultation if you'd like to learn more about body lifts, or other surgeries following massive weight loss.

LiposuctionWe all have problem areas: those parts of our anatomy which seem to gain weight the first and, unfortunately, lose it the last. Often thin, athletic people find themselves unable to lose that roll on their lower abdomen or inner thigh fullness despite diet and exercise.

Tummy TuckIf lower abdominal stretch marks or redundant skin across the lower abdomen is keeping you from wearing the clothes you'd like, keeping you from exercising, or spoiling what you see when you look in the mirror, a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) may be a good choice for you.
A Tummy Tuck actually involves two body changing procedures. Obviously, there is excision of redundant skin and fat on the lower abdomen but, less obviously, the weakness of the abdominal wall is tightened cinching in the waist several inches. Sometimes an old C-section scar is used to avoid new scars.
The procedure is done under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. You can often resume many of your routine activities within weeks of surgery.

Vascular LaserLaser therapy is one of the most effective methods of treating small vascular blemishes, called hemangiomas, angiomas, or spider veins.
These vessels can be made to nearly vanish without needles or surgery and with minimal discomfort using the most up to date laser technology.
Come in for a consultation to see whether laser treatment is a good option for you.
