Abdominoplasty or Liposuction: Which Is Right for You?
If you want a flattering midsection, you have options. We created this guide to help you compare abdominoplasty (a tummy tuck) and liposuction to help you discern which might be best for you.
The Skinny On Body Contouring
What it isn't: A way to lose lots of weight. (If you want to lose a significant amount of weight, a diet and exercise plan is the place to start.)
Procedures that are part of this group: Breast augmentation, breast lift, breast combination (augmentation plus lift), abdominoplasty, SmartLipo, traditional liposuction, and fat transplant in the buttocks (also known as Brazilian butt lift).
Why it's great: Some changes to your body shape can be made through diet and exercise -- however, there are plenty that can't. For example, no workout is going to restore your breasts to their pre-pregnancy perk, and even hours in the gym can fail to remove stubborn fat from your torso or limbs.

Through a customized approach with the proper procedures, we can help give you the look you want. Because a combination of procedures is often used, the results can be truly dramatic.
Who it's for: Anyone who would like a more balanced or streamlined silhouette.
