Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)▼
Removes excess abdominal skin and repairs abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti) following significant weight loss. The surgeon makes a low abdominal incision, lifts skin and fat, repairs or tightens abdominal muscles, and removes excess tissue. In most cases, the belly button is repositioned.
Fleur-de-Lis Abdominoplasty▼
A type of abdominoplasty that addresses horizontal excess skin that stretches across the width of the abdomen, requiring vertical excisions in addition to the standard horizontal incision.
Belt Lipectomy (Body Lift)▼
A lower body lift that extends around the trunk to treat abdomen, flanks, and buttocks. Used for those with vertical excess that extends around the flanks and lower back.
Brachioplasty (Arm Lift)▼
A body contouring procedure that removes fat and excess skin from elbow to armpit. Commonly done on patients who have loose arm skin due to ageing or weight loss. Can be combined with VASER liposuction.
Thighplasty (Thigh Lift)▼
A reconstructive body contouring surgery designed to manage excess skin and, in selected cases, excess skin and fat of the thighs following significant weight loss. Treats functional concerns caused by loose or redundant skin, including skin irritation, difficulty with hygiene, friction, and limitations with walking or physical activity.
Breast Reshaping (Mastopexy)▼
Treats skin laxity in the breasts following weight loss or pregnancy.
VASER Liposuction (Suction-assisted lipectomy)▼
VASER liposuction works by cavitating the fat cells through ultrasonic vibration, causing the cell to burst. The liquefied fat is removed through a thin, hollow tube hooked up to a suction device on low power.
