Body Contouring

     You might follow a strict diet and exercise regularly and still find it difficult to acquire the body you desire. Perhaps you have deposits of fat on your thighs or lower back. Perhaps your problem area is your belly. Perhaps you do not have a problem of bulging but one of skin laxity on your belly, arms or thighs. Or, you might have those annoying rolls of skin and fat on you back.

      Peninsula Plastic Surgery (PPS) offers the full scope of body contouring, from liposuction to thight lifts. In most cases, the surgeons of PPS can perform their procedures right in the certified surgery center directly attached to thier office, The Center for Aesthetic Surgery.

Liposuction

The most common of body contouring procedures, liposuction is the removal of fat through a metal tube called a canula. The end or tip of the canula is blunt, so deep important structures are well protected. Fat enters the canula via small holes on its side. Although a risky procedure in the remote past, modern techniques make this procedure very safe today. Click here for additional information or here for before and after photos.

Tummy Tuck

Also known as abdomnoplasty, a tummy tuck is the procedure designed to enhance the belly. There are several types of abdominoplasty, but the goals of surgery are the same: a flat abdomen with tight skin. Click here for additional information or here for before and after photos.
