Achieving your desired body shape or size can help boost your confidence and self-esteem and improve your quality of life. Over the years, people have turned to various cosmetic surgery procedures to enhance their looks and achieve their lifestyle goals. We’ve rounded up the four most popular cosmetic makeovers below.
Mommy Makeovers
Mommy makeovers combine various cosmetic procedures that help tighten the skin and muscles, removing stubborn fat deposits. The treatment seeks to help women attain their desired body shape and address problem areas that often arise after pregnancy.
The procedures included in a mommy makeover may include:
- Tummy Tucks – This procedure removes excess skin and repositions muscles around the abdominal area to create a firmer appearance.
- Breast Lift or Reduction – You can choose either option depending on how pregnancy or breastfeeding have affected your breast size and shape.
- Liposuction – This treatment removes unwanted fat deposits that have accumulated on the thighs, hips, and lower abdomen.
Breast Reduction
This procedure involves the surgical removal of excess glandular tissue, fats, and skin to help you achieve your ideal figure. The surgery can also reduce the amount of pressure exerted on the neck and back, relieving pain and discomfort.
Breast reduction helps women attain the breast size that complements their body size and shape. This can help improve self-esteem and the ability to take part in physical activities. Men with conditions like gynecomastia (abnormally enlarged breasts) may also consider having a breast reduction procedure.
Breast Augmentation (or Augmentation Mammoplasty)
Small breast size can interfere with a woman’s confidence and cause feelings of insecurity. Breast augmentation helps alter breast size, shape, and symmetry, restoring volume lost due to weight loss or breastfeeding. The types of breast implants we provide include:
- Sientra® Silicone Implants
- Natrelle® Saline Implants
- Gummy Bear Implants
The procedure is performed using implants placed under the breast tissue or the chest muscles. The results will help enhance your appearance and correct uneven breasts, improving your self-confidence. When combined with a breast lift procedure, breast augmentation can restore sagging breasts and make them look fuller and lifted.
Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
As we grow older, our skin and ligaments continue to stretch and leave the facial tissues loose. A facelift can tighten and firm skin around the cheeks, chin, and mouth. Other aging signs that can be corrected with a facelift include excess loose skin below the jaw area and heavy lines appearing around the mouth.
A facelift may be performed on its own or in combination with other cosmetic services. Your surgeon may also recommend a neck lift as part of the facelift procedure to remove fat deposits and saggy skin around the neck.
