Brazilian Butt Lift
Some women feel that their buttocks is too flat and would like it to be fuller and rounder. These same women often have unwanted extra fat in their lower back, hips, and thighs. Liposuctioning fat from these areas and transferring it to accentuate the buttocks can improve the contours of all of these areas for a very dramatic effect. This procedure is often referred to as a “Brazilian Butt Lift.”
-

Everyone wants to look youthful, why not you? Our facial procedures include a range of enhancement options that can often be combined if desired.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift)
Rhytidectomy (Facelift)

Moms aren’t the only ones who can sometimes use a little upgrade! The GlamMa Makeover combines a tummy tuck, breast lift and/or augmentation, along with possible liposuction, to keep every GlamMa looking and feeling her best.
