If you are bothered by the signs of aging in your face, a facelift may be right for you. A facelift is a surgical procedure to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck, such as:

  • Sagging in the midface.
  • Deep creases below the lower eyelids.
  • Deep creases along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth.
  • Fat that has fallen or is displaced.
  • Loss of muscle tone in the lower face may create jowls.
  • Loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw can make even a person of normal weight appear to have a double chin.
  • Rejuvenation procedures typically performed in conjunction with a facelift are brow lift, to correct a sagging or deeply furrowed brow, and eyelid surgery to rejuvenate aging eyes.
Thigh lift surgery reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin, and in some cases fat, resulting in smoother skin and better-proportioned contours of the thighs and lower body. If fitness and weight loss efforts have not achieved your goals for a body that is firmer, more youthful-looking and more proportionate to your overall body image, a surgical lift may be right for you.

What is a mommy makeover?

After childbearing many women are dissatisfied with the appearance of the body. Pregnancy and breast feeding can have a negative impact on the breast and abdomen. Many mothers find a have breasts that have changed in volume and are sagging. The abdominal skin may have stretch marks and be loose. Women who have undergone C-section delivery is often note a “shelf” of loose skin above their scar. Despite their effort of diet and exercise, these problem spots persist. Many women desire to return to their pre-pregnancy. A Mommy Makeover is the plastic surgeon’s effort to achieve this goal.

The surgery usually involves improving the breasts by replacing the lost volume with breast implants. If the position of the nipples has dropped too much then a breast lift may be recommended. Sometimes both an implant and a lift are necessary to center the nipple, improved breast volume and achieved better coverage. The abdomen is improved by performing a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) which removes the excess skin and some of the stretch marks and tightens the abdominal muscles which may have been stretched apart by the pregnancy. Liposuction may be performed on the excessive full fatty areas.

An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that:

  • Reduces excess sagging skin that droops downward
  • Tightens and smoothes the underlying supportive tissue that defines the shape of the upper arm
  • Reduces localized pockets of fat in the upper arm region

Fluctuations in weight, growing older, and heredity can cause your upper arms to have a drooping, sagging appearance. This is a condition that cannot be corrected through exercise.

Arm lift surgery may be right for you if the underside of your upper arms are sagging or appear loose and full due to excess skin and fat.

A body lift improves the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin.

Excess sagging fat and skin are removed and the procedure(s) can improve a dimpled, irregular skin surface, which is commonly known as cellulite.

A body lift may include these areas:

  • Abdominal area – locally or extending around the sides and into the lower back area
  • Buttocks that may be low, flat or shaped unevenly
  • Groin that may sag into inner thigh
  • Thigh – the inner, outer, or posterior thigh, or the thigh’s circumference

Aging, sun damage, pregnancy, significant fluctuations in weight, and genetic factors may contribute to poor tissue elasticity that can result in sagging of the abdomen, buttocks and thighs.
