BODY CONTOURING

Most of us try to be disciplined. Despite exercising religiously and following a strict diet, often we are still unable to conquer stubborn areas of excess fat. It can often times become frustrating and downright depressing. There are surgical procedures however that can remove those aggravating fat deposits and improve our overall body shape and contour.

Liposuction - Also called lipoplasty, liposuction removes deposits of excess fat from specific areas of the body, face or neck. Liposuction can be used to tailor or slim the hips and thighs, flatten the abdomen, shape the knees and ankles or eliminate a double chin. (Average Cost - $3125-$5450)

Tummy Tuck - Although different from liposuction, a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty also removes stubborn fat deposits but also smoothes out excess skin that looses its elasticity with age or pregnancy. The muscles of the abdominal wall are also tightened surgically. The result, a tighter and flatter abdominal profile. (Average Cost - $5450 to $8275)

Male Gynecomastia - This is the condition of the male breast enlarging. There can be different causes but most have no known reason. Surgical correction can be done with liposuction or surgical removal through a small incision. (Average Cost $4175.00)
