Body Procedures
"Body contouring" is a term that applies to a number of surgery options that can reshape and improve nearly any part of the body. If you are considering a body contouring procedure that will alter the shape and look of your body, an experienced surgeon from the Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons can work with you to determine the best treatment plan for your aesthetic goals. Contact us to learn more about your plastic surgery options.
Liposuction
One of the most common plastic surgery procedures, liposuction targets specific areas of the face and body to remove deposits of fat cells that are resistant to diet and exercise. From the buttocks and thighs to the arms, neck, and breasts, liposuction can help patients achieve dramatic results all over the body. The procedure normally lasts one to two hours and patients are usually able to return to work within two weeks.
Lower Body Lift
After extreme weight loss or pregnancy, many people are left with excess skin that can be embarrassing and unattractive. During the lower body lift procedure, a plastic surgeon trims away excess skin to reveal a more toned, attractive figure. A lower body lift generally targets a person’s thighs and lower abdomen to improve the appearance of the lower body with little scarring. Schedule a consultation with a member of the Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons to learn more about the body lift options available.
Thigh Lift
The thighs are a problem area for many men and women because they are so notoriously difficult to tone. During the thigh lift procedure, the surgeon removes excess skin and tissue from the upper and inner thighs to produce a thinner, more attractive leg.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck performed by an experienced plastic surgeon can help a patient attain a firm, toned midsection by removing excess skin and fat while tightening the abdominal muscles. This procedure generally takes between two and five hours to complete and patients can usually return to work within two to four weeks. The results are dramatic and last for years.
Upper Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Aging and dramatic weight loss can both leave people with excess hanging skin on the upper arm area, making it difficult to wear certain clothes with confidence. If you have drooping skin on your upper arms, consider having an arm lift performed by one of the professionals in the Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons. This procedure can also be combined with liposuction for optimal results.
Breast Procedures
A woman’s breasts contribute greatly to her self-image and her feminine identity. Breast surgeries are some of the most common procedures performed by the doctors of the Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons. If you are considering a breast surgery procedure, locate a doctor near you to discuss your options.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation surgery allows women to enlarge their breasts with saline or silicone implants that create fuller, firmer busts. Whether you seek to make your chest proportionate to the rest of your body or simply to obtain larger, more attractive breasts, breast augmentation could be the solution for you. The procedure usually lasts between one and two hours and patients are able to return to work within a few days.
Breast Lift
After weight loss or pregnancy, many women are unhappy with the altered state of their breasts. A breast lift can help improve the shape and firmness of a woman’s breasts to return them to their natural, perky state. Breast lift surgery can be performed with or without implants depending on the patient’s aesthetic goals. The procedure lasts between three and five hours and women are usually able to return to work after about a week.
Breast Reduction
When large, heavy breasts become a painful burden, many women opt for breast reduction surgery. An experienced plastic surgeon can reduce the size of the breasts and improve their overall appearance through breast reduction for a more proportionate, comfortable figure. The recovery time varies, but most women are able to return to work within two weeks of breast reduction surgery.
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia refers to large male breasts that can be embarrassing for men and restrict their lifestyle choices and the clothes they wear. A male breast reduction performed by a member of the Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons can help a man to achieve a more toned, masculine chest area by removing excess fat and tissue. There are many causes for gynecomastia, and with the help of a talented surgeon, patients can permanently reduce the size of their breasts.
